    Just installed the sump baffle set from superformance. it is almost plug and play.
    It needed to modify 2 cuts to clear castings in the engine.

    A few things has been done. It looks like i did some progress but i feel huge work left....
    Here are some pics which i think maybe interesting: As some pipes and some parts of the interior coated with
    white nano ceramic heat barrier "paint", i hope will make big difference in comfort.....
    Both water pipes coated so the hot pipe will not heat up the colder return pipe ....

    Just realised that i posted so long ago!;)
    Mostly these big projects are never finished.
    So i have a few minor issues left( rev counter mostly dead, tachometer needs to be converted from mile to kmh Adrian just helping me....)
    , but the car has been dyno-runin/ tested ecu programed and made some trips with it.
    I like it very much now, the power results are as i expected and i think it's just enough ...
    the powerband is very usable and wide. Fuel consumption looks fairly low...
    i think the average could be 10L/100km.
    It took i think 12/14 month more than it could be but unexpected things can be happend.
    In my case the first painter refused to do the job after 6month delay so i had to find another which added another 3 month
    as we reached christmas and they had jobs to finish..
    Also the designing and finishing the airbox made some delays too.....

    Anyway some pics:

    After a long time. I decided to post a few pictures to encourage anybody who thinking to make a similar modification.
    2 years of use proved it to be a very good setup.
    It goes fast , fuel efficient and very smooth. 200km/h is like 1/2 throttle!
    I would not go any much faster anyway. I'm not brave enough :)
    I think more power would need tuned brakes,suspension, etc. Which needs bigger wheels and so on and on....
    Which has more pressure on the bodywork.
    I would like to thank everybody on this forum for a lot of info and experience which helped
    me to make my project !

    Hi Mickey
    Nice job, where did you get the bolts to block off the air nozzle holes? Are they standard brass ( or other material ) bolts that have been turned to fit ?

    I simply made a drawing and a machine shop made it from a hex bar…
