well a couple more bits have arrived over the past week....

new back box 4"outlet 3" inlet

Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator

turbo heat shield ( a bit of bling

)

First bits of the fuel system.......Much more to go

Aeromotive Fuel pump

And the Cobra Mustang 4.6 litre throttle body......i knew it was gonna be big, i wanted big for Flow, but this thing is gonna be a struggle to fit

twin 60mm butterfly plates.....they shouldnt cause any restriction

$50 from the US

These pics of the Throttle body are almost to scale, give or take a few mm.....

hardcore. its the fag way of saying hardcore...mitto also says it

im 99% certain of it that it means hardcore

TaxiDori · 25-01-2006, 10:53

yeah it means hardcore, like 'gay prawn is too hXc for me'.

DriftLexus · 27-01-2006, 23:49

A big Thanks to Mitch for allowing me the use of his arch roller today....

i dragged the car upt Bicestershire, and decided brutal was the only way.....

it actual turned out supprisingly well considering the lips are really thick, and with it being a 4 door...problems sometimes arise at the front of the arch......

A little bit of this...

and a little bit of that..

Before...

after....

and a few general shots.......Cheers Mitch

nice work , looks a good job

sideways.taff · 28-01-2006, 00:32

Thats pretty tidy mate! Nice one. Not too keen on the paint job though!

DriftLexus · 28-01-2006, 01:14

cheers...alas Mitch had no other colour...lol

DriftLexus · 11-02-2006, 20:43

thought i would make a start on piecing together the fuel system components.

must thank James/Phil for the Excellent assistance in getting good prices on the Unions

Ive now fully assembled the Fuel cell, fitted the return line union, and the fuel level sender.

I then made up an Aluminium mounting plate, that i have mounted the Primary pumps, the main pump and filter, plus the swirl pot, this will allow me to remove the whole lot for servicing.

and did some minor jobs, like fitting the cell retaining straps...below is an overall shot of the boot area.

just waiting for a few more unions and bits and bobs, and fuel hose then i can start making up the fuel hoses, but then that will pretty much be the system done, less the running of the lines forward, and the return line back from the engine,

Tommorow the windscreen and the rear glass is coming out in preperation, for the removal of the TRD cage, and the fitting of the new weld in cage

Dori Mat · 11-02-2006, 20:57

very nice set up there mate

'lil Red Slider · 11-02-2006, 23:43

Hey Matt, looking real good there. Did you get all your aeroquip connections via ThinkAuto in the end ?

Black Betty · 12-02-2006, 13:31

Well frick me! The money and work thats gone into this is crazy! I know i spent a shit load on my'86 but not quite to this extent!

I cant wait to see this thing all up and running, its gonna be a bad bitch! lol As i see your from Wiltshire, does this mean it will be seeing any Castle Combe action??
