Shiney plenum mods (contains bling pics)

Hi all,

I shared my under bonnet bling with the QLD boys at the track today and thought I'd post a few pics on the forum.

First up...some shiney UAS hardpipes and SFS silicone boost hoses. All the fins on the fan cover were also removed and the cover sanded back and painted.



Next, I removed the fuel rail (2 fuel lines and a vacuum line) when my fuel regulator died. I replaced it with a SARD adjustable regulator and piped it in next to the filter. Some braided fuel line joined up the fuel rail.



The UAS strut brace (that K-Zed organised a Group Buy for) sits up over the polished plenum.

"Not just the PSA" aka Cass (my better half) painted the throttle cable cover with some racing stripes and a creative "Z" logo. The water hoses off the engine block were also polished.



The PTU was relocated to next to the AFM under the front facia. The holes on the timing belt covers were plugged and then painted.



And finally, add blue silicone vacuum hose to match the SFS boost hoses.



I made the silicone hose at work and it'll be available in a Group Buy in the next couple of days.







And here's the overall view:



Ooo, so shiney! Would love to hear your thoughts on it. In the next couple of weeks the rocker covers will be painted and a lot of rubber will be worn off of the back tyres as I give my Jim Berry clutch a good work out.

 

very bling bling...
