Wow!

Looks soo clean with all the bits removed from the engine!

I think you should shave the holes and get your engine bay smooth..

In time Nitin, in time

Not going to be this time round as it's completely impractical doing that kind of work outside, but when the time comes and I've acquired a new shell, then it's one of my main intentions

[NafemanNathan]

Awesome!!

This is what I 'wished' I could do to my car but it's too impractical



(Hope you don't mind me putting up a pic )

Not at all mate

I have never seen the attraction of those whale winkle intakes.

Your recent work has given me lots of ideas of what im going to do to my 4G, thanks!!

great work nafe

When you say a write-up on the intake manifold tuck... What do you mean? Having the harness coming out from under?...

It was a joke bud, as in the lack of any intake manifold - neat trick to tuck a large aluminium chunk of metal that bolts to the head. [smilie=hate-ass.gif]

When you get a chance could you measure the windscreen duct for me please?

Sorry, just not used to you cracking jokes

Do you mean the rectangular slot in the underside?

If you're wanting to mate to this (keep my thread clean please!) then if you look in the picture I've posted above of all the apparatus I removed, then there's actually an OEM adapter that may actually be simpler to join to.

ok i will critises/ suggest here. you can fit the plugs through the hole where the A/C pipes went through, they do fit, just! just a suggestion but helps slightly with the tuck!

also can u maybe pm me on what u plan to do to demist the screen? i had the same thought but have small balls!

looking good though pal!

xxx love you xxx

[NafemanNathan]

That's not a critisism... That's just some advice for a fellow loved one!

I did think about that hole, as it is big enough, but it's still too far outboard and would be easily seen. I thought about the drain/breather pipe thingy hole just down from that as well, but it still isn't ideal. I was hoping the heater pipe holes that I've just obtained would be big enough, but it's only just too small...



However, I can open it up and use one of these...

I think that should do the trick, and keep it well hidden away.

I've had a delivery today which contains some more wires to weeve into the mangled mess. They don't take very good pictures at the moment, but you can just about make out what they are...









Should look something like this when powered up...
