Humpy Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Your engine bay is looking very impressive Wasso, I really like Look forward to seeing the that shiny engine bay in Wales Quote
Luke0549 Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Why does it look like your boot isn't shut? Is that to do with the fitment of the rear bumper? Quote
Wasso Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 Why does it look like your boot isn't shut? Is that to do with the fitment of the rear bumper? It's because my boot is Carbon and doesn't have the weight behind it to seal against the rubber around the lip of the hatch. I'm in the process of having my boot catch shortened because I've lifted the lock as high as I can. This should make it look better fitment. Your engine bay is looking very impressive Wasso, I really like Look forward to seeing the that shiny engine bay in Wales I think once the Rare JDM harness is fitted with ARC catch and braided hoses oh and plenum bolts I'll be nearing completion with the engine bay. Already started my engine bay cleaning, it's surprising how dirty it gets in there. Wow impressively shiny looking good there! Cheers, it's taken a lot of man hours. Quote
Panman Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Amazing setup and looks. Got to be my fav Z. Just a quick question on the old Eibach's? Was it the pro or sport line kit fitted? Drop was perfect. Quote

Cheers , at least some people like it The Eibach's were fantastic to be fair and I'll praise them as one of my favourite mods since moving to Meister R. It makes you realise that spending £200 on a mod that doesn't just give a spot on ride height but a cornering and ride upgrade at the same time. Really worth the money. They were the Pro version and will be up for sale once I get them taken off my old suspension but I've been pretty busy. There's now only 8 days left prior to Wales, need to get finish the car off and get her ready. That's if this flippin rain will ever stop Quote

Will chat to you about that @ Wales. Although gave the Meisters a bit of a bash at the last Midlands meet and was highly impressed with the improved braking in the wet. Let's just say it saved my bacon from a ditch brown cloth came to mind It has been a while to be fair Quote
Wasso Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 Okay work started this morning to strip the engine bay for the big clean. Using a mix of Meguiars engine cleaner and engine degreaser the job started with a mucky engine bay. (some pics are prior to recent mods just in case someone says thought you fitted xxx where has it gone - pics purely for dirt and muck purposes) And now some finished pics Now onto handbrake and gear boots.... Back in a bit Quote

Wasso Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 Hard work this Life of Leisure stuff isn't it Ian?

Here's the Handbrake and Gear Boot update Next on the list is to get back polishing plenums including my own again to ensure its gleaming and ready for the Pro Bolts once delivered. Quote

ARC V2 Catch can Red Samco Air Intake joints Remainder of Pro Bolts Rare JDM Engine Cover Painted and lacquered oem strut bar in Azure Just the red Brembo's to fit Mishimoto steering reservoir Earls Braided Hoses to replace the horrible black oem pipes Quote
Greddy-Matt Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 That looks über slick, nice job on all the shiney bits! You did better than me at polishing the timing cover, I gave up half way through Quote
bronzee Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Engine bay, "magpie edition". Lots of shiny bits. Quote
Wasso Posted May 24, 2012 Author Posted May 24, 2012 phwoaarrrrr Cheers That looks über slick, nice job on all the shiney bits! You did better than me at polishing the timing cover, I gave up half way through Well, I've done 50% of the cover so I invisage at least another 10 hours on it yet. I want it as shiny as the plenum. Engine bay, "magpie edition". Lots of shiny bits. Cheers Bronzee, I got fed up of trying to follow colours, so anything that can be polished WILL be! I think I'll be swapping out the countersunk bolts and washers for etched hex head like round the plenum. The pics don't really give the true perception. So I'll be posting up for sale soon..... Tarmac Red Bolts and Pro Bolts countersunk bolts, as I have changed my mind THAT much Quote
Sam Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 thats a great transformation of your car over years.. looking great... Quote

Sam Mcgoo Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Looking real I definitely need to spend some time cleaning and polishing my engine bay to do the Polished Vortech and Kinetix SSV justice. What do you use to polish this stuff up? eg the Strut brace and timing covers? Quote
taffyjason Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 im amazed your still on stock brake lines, get some HKS ones, i did and it has transformed the brakes, only problem now is my mintex pads are squeeling like a throttled pig! my garage has suggested a solution, we shall see Quote
