That's HOT!

[youdirtyfox]

how about this

[AaronTietje]

Not bat at all. How soon are you looking to get them on?

[youdirtyfox]

soon as poss dude, although its goona cost me $250 to get the arches rolled up and the tyres swapped over, so towards the end of the month...

[youdirtyfox]

Installed my new "Gulfy" rocker cover this morning along with a new gasket, NGK spark leads, purple anodised bolts & washers and a black
MX5 lead holder. was warned off using the alu. lead holder I made on the banzai forum as using metal to seperate spark leads is a bad idea! it can cause flash-over and destroy an engine...

I used http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDSFztSNcdI as an installation guide, all went well no leaks so far

Anyway so here's an obligatary picture


Now the pulley wheels are exposed Im thinking of some kind of spiral/propeller paint job for them

[AaronTietje]

Those anodized pink/purple bolts are sick.

[Josh]

Looks great!

SO what color are you going to powder coat the intake Mani?

[youdirtyfox]

yeah there will be a few more of them bolts appearing, gold bolts with purple washers maybe along the top of the fuel rail

Intake mani I think either black/white or chrome powder coating once Ive seen a sample.

Been wanting to debadge the bonnet since I fitted the new bumper,
so this morning I popped the badge off using a plastic body filler scraper
to reveal this.


Next up I hit it with some soapy water, TF-90 electrical contact cleaner and my thumb to remove the sticky residue, then some safe cut to bring the colour back. My plan was to use red electrical tape that had been holepunched to create two perfect dots to cover the holes, it was completly the wrong red though! So off to Hobbycraft to find some sticky stuff of the same colour, ending up coming back home with these buttons,lol


I think it has the desired effect though, and will do till it gets done properly


might have to attack the back now

[Josh]

That's Awesome! now all you need is the Pedo bear

[IMACHU2]

Engine look great, and very 80's

[youdirtyfox]

Went to debadge the boot this morning expecting to find the same holes as
in the bonnet, but no the badges were just stuck on! So a quick TF-90 and soft cut seesion means Im fully debadged now
