Alloy spark plug cover for the ME7 would be nice ;)
Pic?
best thing to do would be to go outside and open your bonnet lol :D
2.4 T5 has VVT on both cams, ours has it on the exhaust only.
The covers should be no different tho.
ill take a look shortly. im looking for a few parts to fabricate. sooo boooarrrrd
isnt the me7 cover moulded to come up and meet the cambelt cover- that might take some skill in bending and stretching the metal to meet the shape and take hours......
i think this is why nobody did it before - easy if only you have a die + press machine.
the earlier ones are just flat.
i got offered some s60 R style engine covers made from carbon fibre, but when i see martin's covering skills at work i think he would just trump me for cost .
do a p1 polished battery cover graeme, just remember to line it with rubber or plastic. - lol
that guy from ebay does not work at the company who let him make all those covers after hours anymore, so you wont see all those for sale again.
I don't think an alloy header tank is a great idea TBH. It may look a bit out of place on it's own, plus you need a site glass or something to see the level??
Alloy tanks for water injection might not be a bad idea. Maf to turbo pipes for both P1 & P2. I'm surprised the exhausts/downpipe's never took off TBH.
i was disapointed with the intrest i got in the phase 2 pipes. i realy thought theyd sell well at half the price of main supplier. header tank would have a perspec lens in the side for checking level.
If it's possible to make up reverse intercooler kits for P1's for around the £150 mark give or take, I reckon you'd sell quite a few.
i dnt know how they are set up. guess id need to see one or get my hands on a early t5
you could always have a dip pipe on the cap to check level on an alloy header tank- like a pas cap?
less hassle if you are not cutting it to fit a sight glass?
i was thinking about the sealing as well tho'
Instead of stainless header tanks - what about the under bonnet polished stainless panels !! I do like a bit of bling :)
