Intake manifold has been sent for powdercoat as i was never quite happy with the durability of the VHT painted item. It was far too easy to mark and damage.

Some of the boost pipes have been dropped in for powdercoat too. I say some as the last 2 will be built on the car when the motor is in as its far simpler and then i know it will be 100% right. Boost pipes are going to be a textured satin black.

Getting excited now :)

Belt guide looks lovely :)
You can't beat a dished suede wheel Frayz. It's like Gran Turismo in real life with this project of yours (except more detailed)

Seriously Stu, the term is over used. But this coupled with the Works Bell kit is so much better in the metal. Pics really do not do it any justice.

Im like a dog with a bone now to get it fitted.

Now i have the guide, the intake mani should be back from coat next week and i can drop the motor in as soon as poss. This guide was the missing link that i was waiting for.

Its nice to feel like i have some decent forward movement again. The mental boost of having the motor back in the car will be huge. :)

Collected some of my boost pipes from the powdercoaters tonight. As you can see the air temp boss has been added and theyre now a gorgeous "stipple" effect satin black. These look mega OEM in the metal. Really pleased with how they have come out.

Just the intake manifold to come back now :D
