Great car.
Are you planning to make this 4x4 ?
Am I guessing this right from the parts in your pictures?

Thank you for the kind words people  :laugh:

Yup - that's the plan, gonna go AWD and big power.  When I'v previously messed around with cars I'v always done power first then worried about traction, stopping and getting round corners so this time I'm doing it in reverse!  Would like to not have to worry so much about putting the ED30 into a ditch when I get the power  :signLOL:

More bits done.....

My oil dip stick has never been right so ordered a new one and fitted today - old one is orange and new one is yellow.



I'v had a heat shield for ages now but when I first tried to fit it I managed to get a bolt from the engine cover stuck so it was just spinning when trying to undo it.  Went on a mission today and managed to remove the bolt so could install the heat shield.



While the intake was off I took opportunity to put some edging round the lower cut out of the intake sheild as it was scuffing the filter a little



I had some (not enough!!) titanium heat wrap left over from a previous project so fitted that when the intake was off.  Looks kinda sh*t but should help lower temps a little........ maybe

Thank you guys - the pile of parts keeps growing, should be quite good when they all get fitted.  :driver:
Could be wrong but my car seems to start a lot easier since putting the catch can in? Any one else with one find that......... Or have I forgotten to put something back on!!?

Been trying to get this right for ages, tried block sanding but couldn't get it quite right so ended up with some good quality masking tape and I'm happy with the results



Fitted to the rest of the cover - the main part looks a bit white in the photo (iPhone) but its is the original silver colour.  Oil cap still isn't quite straight but I'll sort that sometime

Thank you guys  :drinking: That engine cover took ages to get right and many failed attempts.  I'm happy with it now though  :smiley:

So I got a result and was really the right place at the right time - I managed to get myself a unicorn part for a silly price. Wanted a set of these for a while but when ever they came up for sale they were silly money so resisted getting them.  These came from a 140k miler R32 and obviously have the normal wear and tear but for the money I paid I am not complaining at all  :laugh:



Couldn't resist cleaning them up with upholstery cleaner and fitting the driver side to see what they were like.  Really changes the feel of the car and certainly holds you in better through the corner - I'm a happy chap  :laugh: :smiley: :laugh: :smiley:
I do plan to have them re trimmed to match my cars interior, but for the time being I will keep them like this.
