Yeah I probably should. I was thinking about that today when I was changing the studs.

Yeah I reckon it would be worth doing mate.

Yesterday I drilled the holes in the enginebay for the cooler piping, then tonight after work i fitted the intercooler and dummy fitted the piping. this is the problem im having with the plenum and cooler piping, cooler piping is to suit rajab plenum and this is ment to be a rajab replica. will be cutting the flange off and welding another one on at the right angle, hopefully i can get it to work, if not ill have to bite the bullet and buy a genuine rajab plenum. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You thought about getting a space made up to fill the gap?

will be easier to cut that flange off and change angle a bit, ive already got another flange sitting here, and my boss can alloy weld.

Mint build. Like your signature too haha embarrassing as Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looking very nice mate. that isnt your old cooler is it?

Nah my old cooler is on lockys bt1. This is a pwr cooler that was originally in that fe calais that Sprigzy bought and took the running gear out of for his gold Calais. It's a little bit damaged but u can't see it anyway. It's fully hidden.

An angled silicon elbow would just about fix that problem. A 30deg would nearly fit perfectly by the looks of it

Yeah but the throttle body misses the radiator hose by about 2mm when it's bolted up and also I'd have to run a different accel cable set up then. And las of all I don't want it to look like **** lol. I'm trying to keep the bay at a reasonable level. It's hopefully just gonna be straightforward cut flange off trim plenum to change angle and weld flange on. I've got some longer silicone joiners which I think I might need but apart from that hopefully will be sweet. I wish I could just afford a genuine plenum but I still gotta finish off fuel set up, make turbo lines, and buy computer get it wired in and tune. So every penny I can save helps lol.

flange cut off plenum and plenum cut back to a more suitbable angle, will get new flange tacked on hopefully early next week, dummy fit it then if all is sweet get it welded up.

managed to get manifold finished yesterday. am happy with how it fits now. also ordered all my oil/water lines and fittings (speedflow and braid) that came to a nice $420 worth. should have everything i need by tuesday. will have more update pics once thats done. gave her a wash this arvo and ordered in a car cover for it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

loving it mate, looks mint

Jelly. Coming along so nicely!

lovin it mate.

Good stuff man, cant wait to see this back on the road!!

nice 1 mate looking good!

Awesome mate

cheers guys, should pick up my fittings tomorrow after work. then gotta heatwrap manifold, and dump pipe. slowly getting there.

picked up all my fittings, started fittings them, need to change a few 45 degree fittings for 90 degree ones but getting there. Cut my hot side cooler piping today and fitted the two 45 degree silicone joiners, fits just about perfect, will buy some t bolt clamps tomorow to finish it off. next is heatwrap then it can all go together properly and hot side is basically done besides intake pipe and a pod filter
