Powder coating upper inlet - but what colour?

[Maz]

I did mine black on the 182 with red at first and then hated it after a while



and then went back to as much as standard as possible

 

[Ed...]

ures would have looked good on a red car

Sprayed the misses 182 manifold silver and it looks very good, like it's STD but just rolled off the factory line.

Also know someone with a blue painted 182 manifold, can get pics if you want? It looks rubbish.

Ok, so blue is out.

Maz - the cover on yours looked quite good in red, just a shame the car was blue, and the other stuff was perhaps a bit much.

Looks like anthracite remains favorite!

 

[Maz]

Over the top indeed, live and learn huh

 

[Ed...]

wish they did front struts for 197

 

[ben_r1]

Maz how did you get your strut brace to fit with the engine cover?

Mine rubs on it

 

[Maz]

No idea sorry, it was fitted at Demon Tweeks.

 

[ben_r1]

Hmm must have fitted washers underneath maybe...

 

[Maz]

Definatly know there wern't washers underneath as I would have noticed when I took it off, is it an OMP one?

 

[Ed...]

183 had clearence 197 is tight as a ....... Well its very tight

 

[RalphyBMW]

Bit OT now, but I think the 197 has a factory brace, under the scuttle trim.

 

[Maz]

Sorry Ralph.

 

[Ed...]

Lol wait for jase to come with his off topic spam delete button.

Red engine bits;


Sierra Cosworth


Civic Type-R

Still kinda fancy red...

 

[BenW]

I think red would work if there was only a small amount of it, trouble is that the inlet manifold is huge!

 

[RalphyBMW]

Fair point.

Red rocker cover, under a silver or grey inlet might be good.

 

[Graeme GTR]

How about Gold, and buy the carbon Renault logo from streamline

 

[RalphyBMW]

Certainly different, would look good under the bonnet of a Williams.
