There is a centre pad for them aswell and 2 horn buttons on the spokes, on mine you can just see where the wires have been cut 

It came in in my jdm gt-four 20+ years ago

Manifold and downpipe cleaned up and painted, now ready to be bolted on

Looks good. 

[Djaniero]

Coming along nicely man😎

 

What paint did you use on the mani and decat? I've been wanting to paint mine for a while, but worried that it would just burn off?

 

Thanks

[Pikey009]

Thanks mate. It's DEi Hi-temp silicone coating.

No worries with that, I had it on my GT-FOUR for years and it never flaked.

[Pikey009]

Got the wheel on with a MOMO boss kit, no problems with fitting and the horn works.

I think the wheel looks very period and the MOMO horn button does go nicely so thanks for the help with deciding.

Thanks a lot mate. I'll give that a try. 

Also, where did you get those rad hoses from?

I'm starting to  realise why I stopped spending as much time on here. Reading through awesome threads like this make me constantly spend money on my own GT😁

Ha you're telling me, i've already blown my budget. The hoses are 'TT Racing'. I'm pretty sure I got them from ebay but i'll look for the receipt later and let you know.

😆. The temptation is too real, to blow budgets being a part of this forum lol.

Its all good fun though, which is the main thing.

Awesome. Thanks

Jase you know what I think you should do with this car 😏

[Pikey009]

What’s that lol? 

[Pikey009]

Began to freshen up a few brackets today. I was going to get everything powder coated but the finish I’ve been getting with the dremel a d hammerite have been great so that’s what I’ve gone for.

I’ve also begun to replace the nuts, bolts and washers in the engine bay. Let’s just say I started off pretty enthusiastically but the novelty has now worn off. But it should all be worth it once the other shiny bits get bolted on.

Next week it’s time to fit the refurbished turbo kit

[Bean]

Just got updated on your thread mate as ive not checked it for a while. Great work going on here. The downpipe repair looks bang on too.

[enots]

Just had a good read through this!! Car looks awesome man! Definitely be getting myself some of that manifold paint to try too makes it look alot tider!

[Pikey009]

Cheers for the comments, she’s getting there. I’m just really busy at work as usual so most of the time spent on the car is during lunch as I’m still doing degree work In The evenings (god knows why I decided to do one at my stage of life). 
 

Thanks, the manifold took some time and patience but really happy with it. 
 

With the exhaust paint just make sure you heat cycle it properly so the first time is just letting the car tick over for the paint to bake then let it completely cool down. After that it will be able to take proper heat through it.

Finally fitted the manifold with new brass nuts nuts and spring washers. I got the turbo back on too. Next, I’ll clean the front pipe mating face and re-fit the downpipe. Hopefully the rocker set up will arrive soon so I can get her started back up

[Pikey009]

Last week I got the turbo kit back on the car and started test fitting the FMIC but ran out of time. I’m on leave this week so next week I’ll try to get the FMIC fully fitted.

My rocker arrived today from RW-D. I’ve got to say, the quality is spot on. Not cheap but you definitely get what you pay for.

Top quality there mate. Nice to see a company producing to that level. Beautiful! 😍

[Pikey009]

Yeah, I’ll be taking any future projects there I think. He did it in 1AO silver for me so has a little purple in different light 

[Sam44]

Agreed they look fantastic. Really going to make the bay look brand new at this rate. 

I can see I'm going to have to go on a cleaning spree on mine.

wow wow wow wow wow... thats all i can say.... if only i lived in the uk .... sigh

[Pikey009]

I test fitted the FMIC today- it’s a pretty good fit to be honest. The hot side is a little close to my aftermarket manifold so a bit of tweaking to do there.

 

[Pikey009]

Managed to get it pretty level and centred, none of the pipe work fowls or rubs.
