Greddy-Matt's Rev3 Tubby **forged engine in!**

[Greddy-Matt]

Im taking all the supporting bits and bobs/fuse box covers and intercooler pipes etc in the engine bay out this weekend to paint up too...

The only polished items will be the cam cover and the turbo to intercooler hot pipe and have started polishing up the cam cover and it actually comes up like a mirror!

Got some funky trick red/blue anodised bolts to replace all the non critical ones on their way too

What do you guys think? I was going to go for gold/chrome but i actually quite like the blue!

[Greddy-Matt]

Some of the hundreds of bolts/nuts/washers that have now arrived

[Edwin]

Looks cool but a bit over the top to be totally honest... stainless steel looks better imho, more integrated. That said, it certainly looks different!

[Leon.]

Well Matt's a tart so I think it suits quite well

[Greddy-Matt]

Indeed.
The blue is going, I'm painting all the engine bay bits and bobs white, and going for a slightly unusual look with gold/red bolts etc, hoping it'll all look spot on when its finished! I do like st steel bolts but couldnt find any that had a good enough finish to them

[Edwin]

Well it's always cool to try something different! Be sure to post pics of your progress

[Steve-O 2007]

The blue is going

you can get that Blue Anodized stuff off with something, if I find out what it is again Ill let you know

[Greddy-Matt]

The blue's all gone I spent most of christmass painting up the heat shields, strut brace, cam cover, BOV adapter, hot pipe, intercooler pipes, vacume and boost support pipes etc

Gone for something a little less shouty a little more classy....

[Greddy-Matt]

Progress pics- before heat shields and manifold were painted...




Ditched the red bolts, all silver and blue now...

[Wade]

sexual can i touch you please

[Greddy-Matt]

Lol oh ok then... Prefer the silver/blue, nice and simple, was starting to look like a christmass tree in there lol.

[Greddy-Matt]

Ok well inlet manifold came off was painted and back on last night


And Keys Racing deep dish steering wheel is now in!

(I did put the horn button in after taking the pic )

Just had a big box of Blue Samco goodies arrive too! So thats tonight/tom' night sorted out..

[Harry]

LOL! Looking awesome Matt! Love the wheel too!

[Greddy-Matt]

Chers Harry Its taking me forever as im working in the dark lol but having a push and hope to get her finished this weekend!

Harry, the wheel is amazing! "forces" you to sit and drive with slightly different posture, so much better! You'll have to take her out for a spin and see what i mean

[nakamura]

WOW Matt superb!

Im impressed with the engine detailing.

[Greddy-Matt]

Cheers bud Cant wait to get the hoses fitted, get rid of that tangles mess of lines lol, and all the red bolts are gone, bring on the blue!

[Greddy-Matt]

Most of the lines are done, intercooler in and anodised blue bolts are mostly in

[RyanRs]

Thats looking amazing matt!! i'v alwayse been a fan of the blue theme... A Samco Ancillaries kit would really do a LOT of justice in there tho!!

What color paint have you used on the TB intake? is it an annodized style paint??

[Leon.]

Looking great mate, just hurry up and finish so you can do mine too

Is that an ancilliary kit there or just lengths of silicon hosing? If the latter, what was in the Samco box?

[lockys96]

i hesitated buying a deep dish one, as i didnt know how far back it would be with a boss.

may look at changing my keys flat for dish
