I enjoyed reading that write up and little story - keep posting updates please. And you will need an m10x1.25 helicoil kit to repair that exhaust stud if the threads are gone. You did well - I wound up helicoiling every exhaust stud on my head.

It should be fairly easy to get that manifold face decked flat - I would suggest, if you are stuck, contacting Peter Gidden at sbits as he has access to a number of machine shops or as it might be closer to you try Nathan at Century Motorsport - again he has access to machine shops. Hope this helps ...

Not tempted to turbo the 2zz? Nah, 3SGTE is a far better engine IMO. Wish I'd done a Honda K20 instead of the 2ZZ, might have liked it better then. hmm thats interesting as a while back I posted up a video of a turboed 2zz mk3 and it looked like a good set up and Patrick of Rogue fame put in a posi...

Not tempted to turbo the 2zz?

its certainly getting there

Great project but also an excellent buyer be-a-ware. That mark 1 looks really tidy in the pictures - not saying its not solid or was a bad buy etc. its just a surprise whats going on below the 'skin' hope this project gets completed. Watching with interest.

Agree with the el-glow but as I was a boy racer MacDonald car parker last time I owned the car and fitted them it was well cool and added 100hp Only 100 H.P. ? you bought the cheap ones then! I have a decent set of 'el glow' dials from speedhut with the adjustable invertor and I really like them, n...

I think thats more likely to be an engine oil cooler rather than gearbox - you can see the stock cooler points and cooler tube in the picture above that aftermarket oil cooler and I can't...

Some top quality work there Peter

You buy it as a sheet form it and cut it yourself over the existing heat shield.

Just out of interest what 'race exhaust manifold' is it that you have?

Commando style?

Go Pete ! what an amazing saving already - I really love it when you get a bee in your bonnet about your car - mayhem always ensues for 3 or 4 days - keep updating please.

I've looked at this a few times.. I'd love a fiber bonnet but just can't justify nearly £300 quid on something that would make the front end even lighter Do the job properly and it won't make the front end lighter - it will in fact at higher speed help to push the front down a bit - well that's the...

Sorry

Shame, but thanks for getting back to me - much appreciated.

Could this be returned to the original carbon finish do you think?

Things have moved on a bit since 2008 http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=173618 He filled the hole with another car!
