New heater box fitting

Nice job and looks like a craze could be starting...

 

Badass as ever! What are your alignment specs?

 

It's a pleasure to work on your car Paul

 

Not done yet will have chassis tune done on the 23rd

 

Fitting new air intake

Work in progress

 

Heat soak management

 

Looking good. I had a BMC filter on the Ducati and it was great for a long time but eventually started to fall apart. Not good right over the throats on the throttle bodies.

Just keep an eye out for leaky valve cover gaskets with that header wrap. I'm sure you're aware, but that stuff can soak up leaky oil and then become quite the combustible hazard when they get hot.

 

BMC induction fitted will get alloy tube for final job

 

Good job Rob,

this BMC looks amazing..,

is it 3" ID..?,

prefer if you can put it front of Expansion tank, and put alloy piece to insulate it from headers,,

that will allow it to be more cool & closer to the air inlet scoop & put it away from intake manifold heat dead area, when you close the hood..

I like the little oil cooler trick. Very clever

 

Yeah, also noticed it but probably cools more the filter than the cooler

 

Also,

it will be great if you separate the Engine cooler, and put additional cooler,

did that in previous C43/55, with Slk55 set-up, really really awesome upgrade,

reducing the Engine disadvantage static with idling & maintain the viscosity of the oil..
