evinX Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 Fitted a new clock cover. Had a ebay jobbie before. Was nice. But not as nice as this, as it didnt have the marking for the buttons. Much better 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 Next on the list is to get my spare valve covers powdercoated and do the gaskets and put some new spark plugs in. Going for a new look on valve covers and spark plug covers. Then to investigate if my oil pressure switch and oil filter housing are leaking. Pretty much all i wanted to do this year. If any nice bits tickle my fancy i might buy something 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 For a while ive been thinking of fitting a TT power steering reservoir, looks nice and could be pre turbo doings. Until @Homer gave me a polished power steering reservoir cover. Fits the NA with some trimming but it sealed the deal at fitting one. Loving it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking about geting one for myself On the road you wouldn’t notice any difference at all, they’re just for show. Strut and chassis support bars make minor differences even in race prepared cars. If you’re racing them suspension setup, appropriately spec’s ARB’s, clutch LSD’s, stronger braking systems and most importantly weight loss is where all the gains are made. However a quick race car does absolutely not equal a good road car. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) So my valve covers were leaking at the back for a while. Sometimes as it leaked down and touched the exhaust you would get a whiff of burning oil. So swapped those over using original seals...and discovered 1 and 2 cyl spark plugs FULL of oil! Leaking all round really...so degreased the engine...new seals and my newly powdercoated valve covers and hooks in gloss black. Wanted a change in the bay from the blue and went for a Chameleon ultra violet and neon blue pigment to go with the gloss black. First time painting it...was super fun and came out mint. Something i used to see at shows back in the day...and something i want to continue, my style is stuck in that era Also swapped my rear lower braces as they got a little crusty...and some new high tensile bolts Edited August 4, 2022 by evinX (see edit history) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) So a few little jobs done, engine bay has been oil free since all the seals and gaskets were done. Got some GZ speaker pods of @Homer as they couldnt fit in his rsp becuase of some vapour barriers facelifts have inside the arches at the rear Powdercoated my clutch master cylinder heatshield black Pretty much it for now, im after a oem sub enclosure as i have the GZ pods now. Also want a Miami GT polished brake reservoir cover when one comes up Edited August 21, 2022 by evinX (see edit history) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Been a good while since i have done much to mine. Finally found a good condition boot visor again for a reasonable price. Currently on the hunt for some new parts - mainly TRD so watch this space. I plan to get her on stands when the bad weather is out the way and see if anything needs doing underneath 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
