wizurd Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 ahhh lol doh my bad. Yer i couldn't find just a one character anime film that anyone has so this was the closest i could get. Gotta say i do like it. I know it won't be everyones cut of tea but then its a bit of a difference from the normal carbon fibre (got that as well lol). It'll be like an accent wall in the living room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjf1985 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Loving the exhaust and that engine cover is seriously cool Nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattross1313 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Looks awesome dude! These exhausts are getting pretty common now aren't they it's the new stock exhaust to match the stock Chargespeed. As said in PM, engine cover looks amazing! I was looking for something like this but ended up caving and getting a carbon cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizurd Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Cheers pjf Matt these exhausts are getting a bit like the side skirts Going to have an Ark only parking area at the national meet As for the cover - love the way it looks, he's done a good job i think with the finish. I'm just hoping it holds up to the heat ok Edited May 2, 2014 by wizurd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizurd Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Ok so because of Japfest and work haven't been able to update until now. Soooooo i've managed to get most of the engine bay in place now. Still need to fit the weapon R power steering, coolant and oil cans. The power steering one is a bit tricky so may need to get some new rubber pipes to help with fitting that. Also while i've painted up the slam panel i've found it marks really easy. Having discussed it with some people my best bet would be to move the bonnet latch ever so slightly up to aid clearance at the front. Really want a nickel plated bonnet catch so maybe two birds with one stone Here' some engine bay pics, only realised when i got back from japfest that i'd not put the rubber sections back on the battery and brake surrounds lol so will need to get that done too As for Japfest i'd recommend it to all. Its a fantastic show and there's loads of inspiration there. Bank balance doesn't agree though So some pics... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizurd Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 The engine cover and battery and brake covers were hydro dipped. The surrounds and several other now white pieces i just sprayed up. Some issues with finding a properly white colour coat but its come out ok. When the sun was out i was spraying in my homemade booth lol It did the job but once the rain kicked in it made things a lot tricker. On top of this i experienced some clutch issues prior to japfest. Luckily they didn't happen while at japfest however i've not got a braided clutch line, rbf 600 fluid and a new slave cylinder that i need to get on fitting, just to be sure. Couldn't get the slave to bleed correctly prior to japfest so didnt change anything but will need to try again soon. Only issue i found was clearance, think i'm not getting the jack positioning quite right since finding somewhere to place the stands seems trickier than i thought it would be. OCD kicking in. If it was my clapped out fiesta it would be up in the air in no time :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizurd Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 The white flexable hosing i found for sale with boost junkies. Not too tricky to fit but need some more and need to figure out if i'm going to down size the pipes on the right as you look at the engine. really don't want to go stripping off all the original black piping though mainly in case i slip and cut through anything important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizurd Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Engine bay looks great... Cheers mate The samco hoses you got me work perfect with the rest of the bay. Just need to get the clutch stuff on now as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 pic from japfest, slightly better light on the cover Awesome wizurd, ...but my OCD wants me to push the over flow pipe into the clip holder on the radiator surround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here mate but I found it pinches the pipe. The samco replacement pipe is slightly thicker on the outside diameter. So cut it down so it doesn't move much and left it like that for now, unless anyone has any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
