JEUS!! thats a big intercooler

picked up my smoothed slam panel today from the powder coaters. had a mate weld the unnecessary dozen or so holes up. most will thing whats the point and doubt any one will even notice its been done but i think it just adds that little something to the engine bay. old and new to compare

[fatdave]

got my twin pot brakes fitted a couple of weeks back and just got round to giving them a coat of paint. they feel more positive under heavy breaking but there is a tiny bit more pedal travel which i can live with. they would make a good upgrade for a zs 180 with it having a heavier engine.

realised ive not updated this for a while.

had lots of bits powder coated under the engine bay. early 620 inlet



alloy throttle body bracket to replace the rubber one



polished engine mount with powder coated stabiliser.



many other bits and bobs such as the strut brace ends, radiator bracket, etc...have been done also along with more stainless nuts and bolts.

a battery to boot conversion has been done to allow the air filter to be moved. spotted a brand new pipercross filter on ebay for £20 which was a bit of a bargain.





the engine bay still needs a bit of a tidy up where the battery tray was but i'll wait for better weather to do that. i will be making a box at some point for the battery too.

Credit were its due my friend, that is one awesome 620ti.

nice to see someone spending money and loving the car rather than pulling the engine out for a ZR!

keep on updating, loving the pictures

Still looking good.

The T16 tubby and the KV6 engines come in at a similar weight.

When I moved my battery to the boot I used some boot carpet from a doner at the breakers to cover it so it looks O/E.

Are you going to make a cold airbox for the filter? TBH it makes musch less difference on a tubby than an naturally aspirated car but every bit helps, may even be worth moving the washer bottle to the boot and adding a cold air feed from the inner wing in the same style as the 180, I've done this on the T16 maestro.

[fatdave]

eventually an air box or heat shield will be made probably more for aesthetics if im honest. if you look under the filter you will just be able to make out a hole. the hole was already there and is around 3 1/2 round so ideal for a cold air feed and no need to remove the washer bottle. i was tempted to replace it with a stainless/alloy one though.
