Sometimes I find myself wandering if I enjoy building them more than driving them aha
Tonight 's progress:
Changed the fuel filter, relieved to see the fuel coming out of it was clear and not full of muck
Then set about removing the rotten original airbox, absolute Bastard to get off when all the bolts have seized into the wing, eventually got it off with some gentle persuasion from a hammer :-P
Treated the inner wing where it had started to get a bit flakey as a side effect of the rotting airbox
New bwarp filter needed, knocked up an induction kit from parts I had lying around
Silicone elbow with hole punched in piece of copper pipe to attach the oil breather to
Oil breather hose liberated from an xud, perfect for what I need
Perfect bend under the top rad hose and a bfo plumbing clamp around the throttle body
Got a aluminium 45 degree bend with a k&n ramair filter on the end, the original air intake conveniently comes out in the same place :-)
Need to construct a splash guard for the filter now, don't want a hydrolock incident
Decent tyres on my pro races
Also drained and flushed the coolant as it was looking pretty old, just need to refill and bleed tomorrow
