Stunning. Nicest looking engine on here!! Nice amount of bling, but not too much, the blue goes really well with the silver and the chrome.

Thanks for the comments guys , i,m really pleased how it,s turned out , there,s still some more bits i want to sort out , the balance bar looking scruffy and other little things but they,ll all get done in good time :dance:

If anybody,s needs tio do a plenum bypass , the blue pipes are the new feed and return pipes , just to show the new direct connections to the heater matrix feed pipes .

Anybody who,s suffered from water getting to your airfilter ( dripping between the bumper and nose panel ) this is how i cured mine , using some sheet plastic :D I know it looks like a pair of pants :tongue:

Well mate that looks the dogs, very nice indeed, but i would go around the bodywork and make sure there are no new holes in it, after all you didn't hide the drill did you.
