No it is a direct replacement as it uses the original engine lid catch. Engine temp wise I never tested it with the stock engine and I don't believe Phil has tested yet. Although with the extra space it creates it should reduce engine heat considerablyscotty1982 wrote:It is a carbenfibre creations lid.
.. I wish there was a short of cover, similar to this engine lid, that you just could attach over the existing lid as a cover. Is there shuts thing? The nearest i can think of is the Super edition roof spoiler, but that is almost impossible to get hands on... It's a much for when the forged engine goes in, as that GT3076 makes a fair amount of heat 
Although the new heatshield should help massively when it's done 
Unfortunately jobs which should have been simple just weren't due to issues with the existing components..
(minus the little turbo at the side 
) is going in the white car!
It's all a bit empty in here 
Not so many photos of this, as it was go go go, . So you'll have to imagine the massive amount of effort involved in getting this done. There was a lovely rounded off tuner nut on both front wheels, due to the studs being too long 
So they needed drilling out but eventually the wheel's off
However in the end they were sorted, Carbotech pads, Goodridge lines and discs on 
Craig I owe you £10 
Thanks as always to Peter for his time and tool use Nothing to do now but wait to drop the white car up on Monday, ready for the big swap 
The handling is sharper due to the braces etc, so all in all the car feels solid and gives you bags more confidence. After it's finished next week it should be really quite special - Maintain your cars people and service your brakes... Magic Beans wrote:One more note, as it's quite poignant right now
- but willpower not fully charged this morning... But i have to say it annoys me intensely to take a car like yours, one of the best looking cars i have ever seen, and find so little basic maintence has ben carried out by previous owners. Anyd's TRD was much the same, even worse. ](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall"){kind=small}

I also started worked on the heatshield for the turbo.
Cracking job 
I must say, it's starting to come together nicely 
(for now 
)
By the end of the week the blue car/white car hybrid will be born. But what will it be called 
... I'd be intrigued to see how a standard v6 would cope up to your tuned engine Selling up my highly modified and restored Rev 1 V6 3.0 1MZ-FE VVTi Check a few pages back in this thread if you want to see a reason why

Need to get myself one of those covers.
So how excited are you phil
This paint is a nightmare, as getting anything touched up would be impossible 
I'm awaiting a few parts back from the powder coater too, which will hopefully be with me today or tomorrow 
Who'd have thought it could come up this well 
Anyone want to buy a rev3 tubby conversion? 
It's one of the little bits I've been working on, ready for the car to be finished. It's a billet aluminium oil filler cap which started out like this
Are you going to jae? And check out the work you have done with my own eyes
