o.k. their poor pics and needs another sand and paint, but does this color scheme look a bit much?

 

just decided that next time i break down on a show stand i wont be too embarrassed opening the bonnet

 

 

 

no comment on the fact my engine not on a stand the bloody gearbox bolts are too short to fit through the mount:blush:

Looks good to me mate:thumbup1:very nice I would like that in my zed.

Yep that looks good Ash :thumbup:

never embarrassing lifting the bonnet on a zed TT or NA.

 

But, got to admitt, that looks classy. I'd have it in mine :thumbup1:

Agree with the above, looks nice and classy and not over the top at all :thumbup1:

love it, looks so different to all the shiny engines out there

thanks guys, just hope i don't scratch it putting it back in the zed now... :blink:

You reckon you could of painted it like that without getting the whole engine out?

Very possible bud, just take the plenum off to get access to the coil covers etc....

the parts came from my spares, and were painted off the car,

 

the engines just out as im fitting some nice turbos... so it seemed like a good time to tidy and fit the painted parts.

without going to far of topic, much work involved in removing the plenum? anything that can go wrong? lol (other than losing bolts or sheering them off?)

That looks very nice indeed, like the colour sceme, what paint did you use for the plenum?

its a VHT paint, normally for exhaust manifolds etc, so that it can take the heat, the gold was a the hardest to get as its hard to find metallic VHT paint.

 

 

pulling the plenum is fairly straight forward, think there's a how to somewhere, id delete the water hoses under the plenum if you do as it makes it so much easier in future.

love it, looks so different to all the shiny engines out there

 

Yup - I go along with that too.....

I did mine a few months ago in yellow and black, even my cam covers are yellow, lucky you to be getting it back in straight away, looks smart!
