was not happy with the painted old cam covers so i got brand one ones and painted them much better few update pics bay looking nice and clean now

 

 

Awesome work Dan. Can I ask what the cam covers set you back?

got them from concept z so was in dolla so cant remember think on side is about 60 and the other about 80 something like that plus paining them to

so fitted the temp sensor i drilled and tapped 1/8 the out let pipe i fitted the sensor used a fiber washer and this german heat proof sealant great stuff and fitted the pipes back to the car

 

so fitting the 2.5 inch intercooler piping and z1 massive intercoolers they are monsters. and carbing strut brace only problem z1 have not send me all the silicone couplers so thats a rite **** missing the ones that go on the inter coolers so slowed me rite down but not getting mad just have to wait a bit longer

very fiddly indeed to fit got one side lined up will carry on 2 moz its a little frustrating to fit so far and a tight fit at that you can see side by side just now much bigger the pipe is over stock

indeed joel

test fit to see is the coolers clear the bumper

 

some work done today here is a before never been touched pic and after many many many many hour of work over the last fee weeks hope you like it so far still much to do be gives you a good idea how much its changed the bay look like the rest of the car will all the deletes done

 

at last i finished fitting the 2.5 pipe work and coolers was a total pig of a job got there in the end had to cut the top cover so the brace would fit . fitted the fuel lines did away with the fuel bar just used fuel fine direct

 

fitted pipe direct

I like the way you've cut the top cover to accommodate the brace, looks very smart.

ye worked out nice u used some edging rubber on it so to hide the cut

Great idea Dan but have you left enough room for tortional twist that every motor does under load;)
