Here's mine, nothing very special but still like it!

Peco inlet manifold, HS4 carb, K&N cone filter. 998cc engine painted gold and rocker cover painted black with chrome oil cap.
Radiator painted black and removed the paint from the top of the radiator and polished it.

I have some plans to make it look nicer (small chrome things etc.) but for now it's good enough for me :dozing:

What the hell is going on with your radiator top hose? What is that thermo housing from? Never seen anything like that before, is that rad in backwards or something? :P

I moved the top hose to the other side of the rad as i didn't want the long top hose , i bought a standard rad and made some ally end tanks and made it double pass so i could have both pipes on one end
the thermostat housing is a modded mpi one

This is the finished kit.

If there is enough interest I will make an inlet and have a limited run of copies made for people who want them.
I'm not looking to proffit so all costs would be shared by each unit 9more ordered the cheaper they will be)
Let me know guys :teehee:

Hi Guys

The Coil cover as I think you are refering to is just a chromed one from a vw beetle shop on ebay. Cost me £7 inc the bracket.
Tried to find you guys a link but It was a long time ago now and I cannot find them.

The intake kit wont be made as I would need 50 orders minimum to be able to get the intake chambers produced cheap enough to make it viable even without charging a penny for proffit.

The kit if I had 50 orders would be £98 and for 100 would be 91. so not cheap at all.

Sorry guys
