I masked up brake booster and lines. Removed everything else. Covered rack like you said. Yep all sanded back, primed then painted including clear.
Def worth doing mate, your engine looks awesome by the way!
Ha ha yea had to do clutch, cam belt and a few other things so decided to rip the whole lot out and do it properly. I actually thought it was pretty clean till we got the motor out...

Here is my modded factory plenum modded to front facing. It is on a 25 not a 20 but you get the idea. Hasnt made a huge deal of difference to drivability. I would say a fraction more responsive than the stock setup. Pretty easy to do and not that expesive!
No worries man, I am in NZ! ha ha
Hopefully i can achieve a similar sort of result to what you got. Well done bro.
By the way how did you do about your VCT control? I have made my own controller which allows me to set on and off points. Seems to work well.
