Djaniero Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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😁 Edited September 1, 2022 by Djaniero Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its all good fun though, which is the main thing. Awesome. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 Next week it’s time to fit the refurbished turbo kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
enots Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sam44 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Managed to get it pretty level and centred, none of the pipe work fowls or rubs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
