Looks good dude. Get a toffee wheel!

I ordered one monday :-D

Cheers for the comment, you do like your wide wheels after all!

Few little changes, don't know if you can call them updates...

Fancied a different rocker cover, liked the look of the G40 one so bought one :-D , Tried fitting it when i got it but realized the original cover bolts aren't long enough to reach the cam journals to hold it down. Didn't want to spend ages looking for some so....

Old ones...

Close up of the new items..

Few engine shots...

Also, as jon noticed there was still glue/tape residue from the side strips. Looked pretty manky so purchased a "toffee wheel" from eBay and set to work on it tonight

Before..

Bought a propper airbox and ducting from a GT set-up, want it looking OEM.

Gonna have to take off the air flow metre and machine an adapter take its place.

i never text him but he was meant to be calling me today and coming to meet me to get his engine service history and mk2 parts

Has he ran away with her then?

Nope, just lying in bed with

Dude, them wheels are looking sick! Just need to go a bit lower now :p

Haha, do i need to know that mate?

And she will be having half a coil off on the back, axle spacers removed and arches pulled/flared.

Nice little touch with the rocker bolts You turn down some hex bar to make them?

Look forward to seeing more :)

Cheers arun, yeah I did.

More updates tonight/tommorow

Nice idea, you might wanna stick a washer between bolt and rubber though :-)

Good idea :) , the size of the hex bar iv used, point to point is the same diameter as the washer on the standard items, so its not actually needed but I suppose it won't hert.

Have you heard from salty yet then? He's looking for an afh bike Carb inlet , told him to go to you.

Maybe yours were missing but these bolts^^ originally had another washer as well as the fixed ones on the head of the bolt. They are what actually seal the hole by compressing the rubber so its best if you bang some on there. I'm sure you could machine some nice ally ones Plus it'll stop the bolts mashing up the rubber when you tighten em.

Yeah I've replied to saltys PM, cheers for sending him my way

Mine are titanium , but yeah ill sort some, cheers for the heads up.

I send a lot of people your way lol, think I deserve a commission :-D

Had a another very productive day on this yesterday,

Got the air intake system sorted, Fuel system adjusted and bolted down to suite new position, ARB blocks and ARB back on, drive shafts on and the weber's idle speed and mixture to a stable idle.

Before i did anything though i made a trip to halfords and got my filthy mits on a "Gunson Colourtune kit", Basically something that helps you set up the fuel/air mixture, so ill be using this next week to fine tune it all the way up the rev range.

Some pictures of the airbox, and adapter thats in place of the AFM, as you can see the fuel pump/filter needs to be relocated after the GT airbox has taken its place,

So the fuel pipes had to be lengthened so it could be mounted infront of the box,

Much neater :-D

Then it was time to fit the ARB blocks and ARB, Some pics of my blocks...

Titanium bolt inserts...

Pics of them fitted...

And some finished pictures of the engine...

Still to do:

Fix front end on properly (bumper, lights and loom)

Get some serviceable wheels on

Fine tube weber

put the interior back in

Bleed brakes

fit new rear bearing kits

and then MOT!

And a little video, The smoke is from the remnants of engine oil on the exhaust manifold.

Beast! almost there now man! engine bay looks really neat mate. did you speak to salty about the condition of them steels?

Cheers mate, and not yet.

Loving the look of that bay :)

if not, my mate has some borbet c's i could ask if he will borrow you

I think with salty's set plus my spare wheel i might have 4 decent ones (hopefully), if not that would be great.

What size are they?

Beautiful! I hope to see this fully complete very soon :-)

Cheers dude, where the progress on yours by the way?

Loving the look of that bay :)

Cheers mate,

The bay is no where near finished, Need to sort a decent exhaust manifold out (got a g40 one, just need to find a downpipe) , Make a cover for the dizzy, Sort the headlight loom out, sort the paint out etc.

will look much better soon

up your ass.

Dont start that shit with me, with my fingers, ill always win, just ask your mum

Dont need to ask my mum

Grim

Get my message? May have all the bits for the weekend to get the beast running

I am very jealous. You can't machine your own arb blocks though :-D

Looking good though, the G rocker cover looks sick!
