Patrick swayze's been crap in some movies, but I will without a doubt roundhouse anyone who talks smack about roadhouse.

Intake ports are 44mm I think, exhausts are quiete decent to but not ridicilious should be nice n torquey with the single.

The header wrap cut's engine bay temperatures by upto 40%. If you want to be lazy you'll be replacing the extractors every 4-5 years. And with how cheap decent second hand extractors are it's not the end of the world. But I plan on taking them out once a year wirebrush them down repaint them and rewrap them. You can use the same wrap each time and you barely use a can of flame proof paint. They do hold the moisture in and people whinge but in my opinion they're well worth it, especially with side port.

I will also be using a bent aliminium piece of plate with a slight bend bolted onto the header bolts and going flat then bending slightly down. That and the special heat shield honey combe stuff. It'll be attached to the aliminium shield, some people just use the honeycombe stuff but it's not rigid enough for me.

I've also got a 2005 diesel 4wd courier that decided to stop at 127,000 km's looked like just a fubar turbo and bent valve! So I'll be repairing that for sale and these are one of the things I will buy with that coin... Aside from an rgv 250...

THESE!

Goodluck with the engine bay. Are you going bare metal or just sanding back original? Looking at your stripped bay reminds me of the 120 un wanted holes I welded up. Nice rims too!

Tip also use foil to cover stuff you dont want painted so much easier than masking.

Cheers man just rubbing it back enough to respray it, had a blown master few years ago fubarred a lotta paint. Not going for anything flash just nicer, I would be welding up holes if I paid more attention to what goes where and what I don't want. but my first project car I ripped out the mechanical injection to swap for a weber so I can live with a lot of unfilled holes =P
