Maybe you just need to get used to the 'power band'?

#184: Re: Project sleeper Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 2:03 pm ---- Very nice! Any chance of the engine cover going back on? How is the air drawn into the trumpets? Through the origonal air intake, I take it the filter is out of there?

I actually think going forced induction would be a good idea.

#187: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 2:52 pm ---- mint i actualy like mine with out the air box i may have to fabricate it so it can be removed easely.
I also didnt realize you had the red tb's
#188: Re: Project sleeper Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 3:17 pm ---- That looks absolutely stunning Tedward! As mentioned, that head is crying out for a cover...Ecosse do a nice carbon fibre one which would go with your airbox and would look yummy.

Are you saying you're not happy with the power delivery? I believe Bonson said his TB's really opened up once they got worn in a little.
#189: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 4:14 pm ---- 2bf im with edward on that brian, if i was to do mine again i would go for a charger rather than the tb's.
Also as i said before ed keep an eye on that oil breather pipe as when you open it up it will throw oil out

#191: Re: Project sleeper Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 4:28 pm ---- Just noticed your strutbrace is off the car as well?
#192: Re: Project sleeper Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 5:50 pm ---- Oh, a little red hose between the longmans box and the standard one would look nice too!
#193: Re: Project sleeper Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 5:58 pm ---- Were there any issues with the radiator?
#194: Re: Project sleeper Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 6:16 pm ---- The bay is looking cracking. Have you taken the engine cover off? Is that not risky?
