Looking good Mark, Stage 5 head is going to help wonders

 

I know :eyebrows:

 

Well here are the bad boys after being sealed up for nearly a year. They were only let out for 5 mins to take the pic :)

Veilside plenum and fuel rail, not sure what to do with the runners yet but it needs stripping down and a good clean and polish, already removed the throttle body.

Thanks John, bought most of the parts of Lee P and have the veilside 100mm throttle body to go with it. I know they are rare thats why I jumped at it when i heard lee was breaking his car. :)

 

I have been thinking about powder coating them Rob, not sure what colour though.

Ah, now it makes sense. As far as I knew, only myself and lee had this setup, and there's not many of them in the US either. These fetch mega money over there.

I had mine powder coated white to match my engine colour scheme. Robs right though, dont have them polished, there hard enough to keep clean when the thing is assembled on the car with it powdercoated.

Black ;)

 

I thought black, was thinking about red as well but think black would go better with the colour of the car

 

Very nice indeed. Looks like well over 1000hp is coming your way. The stage 5 head is a beast and I look forward to some numbers. The cams, Are they super agressive or does the exhaust have the same study growl?

 

Not sure how aggressive the cams are yet tbh, same cams and head as Jamie P's black beast and that was rather quick :)

 

Lovely, a job being done properly, no corners cut. You have to respect that. I look forward to more updates.

 

Thank you, means a lot and gives me more incentive. Missing driving it big time now but I always wanted to do this when I could afford it.

I am sure everyone goes through the "OMG, what have I done to a perfectly good working car" stage, but it does feel like there's no end in sight at times.

 

Hopefully get some more pics up over the weekend of the progress and some more goodies I have bought :)

Yeah red would be nice as well, but like you say I reckon Black would work better with the colour scheme of the car :)

 

Look forward to seeing more goodies you've purchased for her over the weekend matey :)

Only you and I with these now then :)

 

I think I will probably go black powder coat on the runners then, thanks for the advice all. Once car done I cant spend too much time polishing it otherwise I'll be in trouble with the wife and end up single with big twins :)

 

Might have to get some advice off you later John if you don't mind.
