Looks Sweet Mik. :thumbsup:

How good is Perspex and a Heatgun??? I was amazed at how easy it bends... How thick is that? Mine in 6mm I think.

Do you feel the need to shield the overflow bottle aswell? Mine is there also. Thought the heat might undo the benefits...

Don't have any spare silver heat shield stuff I can pinch of you do you? :worship:

Thanks, mine is only about 3mm thick.

Yes come over sometime and grab some, therse plenty left over. Got some tape youd like too, for applying it. Metal foil, fibre reinforced, handles fairly high temp and sticks real good.

May have another 32 actuator, i dont know, but it looks the same.

Tidy work Mik! Thinking about doing similar to lower intake temps a bit.. would have better heat properties than alloy?

Today I did a Trackschool day at Wakefield - unfortunately couldn't get an instructor before I had to go. Still happy though, the old bus ran a best of 1:14.3 - just need to do a brake bleed n will be all good.

put on magnetic sump plug.

oil filter.

oil pressure switch wiring.

8l penrite run in oil.

cranked it over with no spark or injectors.

will try and do it a couple of times until it builds pressure.

I was thinking if getting the carbon fibre air box from just jap.

Hey Ho Wohhh!!! Just hangon a sec there Fella! How many Extra KillerWasps do you want from this "Rosie" of yours...lol

DIY Perspex FTW!!! :D

Not sure its going to add any wasps but it will tidy things up a bit! LOL

DIY...Cant be fooked.

Yeah I was looking at CF, perspex and metal. decided to go black perspex as I have some polished parts and think it will set them off nicely.

Also going to do the rocker covers and cam cover in the red from the R34 GTR'S.

    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
