Re: black phase 2, old friend of the forum
Fantastic pics mate, blue hoses look loads better than "in your face yellow" :agree:
Just out of interest what camera do you use? Your picture quality is amazing :)

Re: black phase 2, old friend of the forum
Hi.
Thanks mate.

Re: black phase 2, old friend of the forum
Love the engine bay updates.
Paint the calipers black (or just clean them up).
-
Re: black phase 2, old friend of the forum
cheers pal.
i think i will paint them black just to be clean, would be nice to able to have a hi-spec set up but bit to much for me tho.

Re: black phase 2, old friend of the forum

Re: black phase 2, old friend of the forum
I have hit a problem
i mocked up my cossie front mount pipes today but really think i prefer my original look with bread bin
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps289c80d2.jpg
here is before
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...116_140941.jpg
i am annoyed at myself as i like all the front mount pipe layouts i look at but in front of me i prefer the normal ...... typical
-
Re: black phase 2, old friend of the forum
Cut your telephone hose in half, insert a bit of metal pipe and rotate it round then put your airfilter where the old intercooler went.
Will fill the big hole nicely :)
-
Re: black phase 2, old friend of the forum
Good point that would help. although i thought if anyone you would be for the original look :laugh:
i am going to ponder it as i am still not sure

True :laugh:
Im at that point with mine where im wanting to improve on the o.e layout and do away with a few pipes to clean the look of the bay up, but how far from the original set-up can you go before you lose that o.e feel.
Its a balance between mods for performance or mods to make it look nicer.
-
Re: black phase 2, old friend of the forum
Yeah i can understand. you have the o.e setup looking great but there is still the night for you to continue.
Looking at the pics above i can see how cluttered the small pipes are that i have over looked.
-
Re: black phase 2, old friend of the forum
Also gonna change the strut brace for this one once its powder coated gloss black

Best way i found was to take an overhead picture and look at that an work out the best way you can re-route and shorten pipes etc
