Hello UK guys,

Some news about my car. I'm back from Czech Rep. so I could work on the car. I had a problem with my bigger exhaust valves.... They were 2mm more longer, made for mechanical cam followers but I stay on hydrolic cam followers. So I had bought new, from California and I'm still waiting for it.

So I decided to mount everything of the engine/gearbox and put it in the car to not lost too much time.

So the water circuit for the engine, the intercooler and for oil are finish.

The circuit of intercooler looks like not very good, but I have to use hoses ends from oem hose because of the small space, and these hoses was already crooked.

I make some radiator partitioning for a good cooling.

I make the cut for the intake system. the airbox will be over the radiator (but not on contact as we seen on picture), right in front of the hood air intake. the airbox is also modify to fit a 70mm diameter tube and isolated.

We seen the airbox right here:

Now I must work on the interior, fix the panel on each rear side, have the good lenght for the steering wheel, and some other little things under the hood.

See you for the next stage.
