here's my new car

[swampy]

Ooh time for a big update.

Well firstly this car ran faultlessly until December , the. It started knocking!

So I arranged to use a ramp at work on a Saturday to investigate, well an SLK came for a play on a duel carriageway hmm he didn't get passed but the engine bearings shst themselves so new engine time!

So I'm in the process of stripping it down and changing the engibe, of course along the way it's getting a few changes,

People say the tb and inlet will flow 300 bhp easily , but pah I'll get porting abolishing them along with a bit of port matching

Snapped a bolt going in to the exhsust stay bar so that's getting replaced with a tubular stainless item

And as I'm off work and can't do much I have done a few bits I ca daily do



Strut brace is now the color of my 406 v6 coupe



All badges painted grey
Yep need to sort some rust


Bumper stripped down









Fog lights removed and painted the same colour as the badges

The Lower lip is getting painted the same colour as aswell and the rear bits on the bumper will be done the same

I then have a set of mesh grills to cover all the holeswhich will be getting painted grey

The clear white lights are a bug aswell so I have tinted them

---

Is whAt they will look like I just need some chrome bulbs to go with them, then I'll be getting a set of rear lights to smoke aswell

The coils are a known weakness and suffer over heating due to how they are mounts so I've take. The standard mount , painted it and added some exhaust wrap as a heat proof barrier





As they say every little helps

Next up im looking to reduce intake temps, now thestabdardcsirbox is said to be as good as they get but it sits right over the radiator which had a suck fan on the back, so my plan is to line the box with the heat reflective take stuff
