Nice....why are you runninga k&n though? :P

[Anders]

Not anymore, just had it on cause I threw awway the old airbox...

Designed my own now, but need the car back from bodyshop until its fitted. Its similar to the old airbox, but in GRP and has direct feed from the two holes in front bumper.

[Martin]

Sounds good...you fancy knocking one up for me too :wink:

[Justin..]

[BRUN]

that exhaust heatshield looks the dogs !

[Anders]

Cheers guys, nice to know all the work has paid off

Summeh, should have the car back down in Brighton at the end of this month. I wiould be up for a meet then if you want.

As of Dec 1st it will fitted with studded tyres and loaded onto a ferry to be shipped to Finland, along with me and the rest of my wordly goods.

Looking forward to getting you guys some video footage of a willy in full on sideways sliding on an icy lake!!

Love to meet up before I go though...down south and around Leeds area too.

[summeh]

k mate will sort summat out... my cars currently in pieces too, shud be rebuild in the next few weeks.

[stew]

does the exhaust wrap work well? where did you get it from? cost?

[Craig]

good work mate, that looks well smart!

[BRUN]

guess ive missed something, why you going to Finland ?

[Anders]

Exhaust wrap is fantastic...works a treat, under bonnet temps are no longer a problem!! Still get warm from the heatsoak of all other components but manifold heat is eliminated. Smokes a bit to start with but this is the 2nd wrap I have used (first one was replaced during re-build) and it really makes a difference.

Brun, I'm off to Finland to live out there. So my Willy has been stripped and re-built so I can export it. Been told by Club Renault in Finland it will be the only Willy - not sure though.

Regards David

[Anders]
