very nice, like the undertrays :nod:
the diffuser looks great, good work! :thumbs:
thanks for the nice comments, its made from 1mm ns4 aluminium which is very hard yet light, get it free from work:D [ordered some extra sheets in for a job as you do;) ] next job is to join the front to the back:) just working out a heat vent for the gearbox and dif through the boot, the exhaust will be lagged
sounds good and looks nice n professional... just don't close the exhaust in too tightly, as my mate was working for a carbon company and they made a prototype diffuser that was a little too close for a porsche turbo and it kinda had a minor case of terminal fire :indiff: ...maybe carry the ducting from the gearbox etc around the exhaust too? ;)
that'll be why it looks so good then!:notworthy glad you won't be making the same mistake as my mates' boss!
I'm looking forward to seeing the finshed product... hopefully soon me and my brother will ahve enough progress done to get our own thread going; it's making me jelous seeing all these projects underway when so far our car is just in bits! :annoyed:
fitted a egt probe boss for the vems and it gave me a good reason to remove my old exhaust wrap and check for cracks on my diy topmount and found none

just starting the re-wrap in blue to match my samco's
That manifold looks just like mine, although the turbo might be a bit higher :)
Great work so far buddy. Just a suggestion but will you support the turbo any further like the YB cosworth peeps do (supports from the cam cover) ?
Kris :)
its that rigid it does not need supporting, anyway its re wraped and ready to go back on, ran out of blue so had to finnish it in white:(

thats the main water pump 110Lpm:eek:
also fitted new brake pipes and fuel lines
love that pump - are you planning to run an electric power steering pump too?
the small 13Lpm pump just pumps around the engine/matrix the secound big pump operates off a thermo-couple fitted into the rad feed pipe from the rhs of the head [funny shaped casting which has the turbo water pipe fitted to it]
and has a digital adjustable controler
