I've got myself some heat reflective material up to 1000c (90% reflection) so hopefully that should do it wrapped around the UJ.

UPDATE!!

Been busy this month sorting out the space in the garage so I wasn't falling over myself, shifted lots of parts and boarded the roof.

Much better now Fitted my new 100mm output flanges and new drive shafts yesterday


Got the UJ boot wrapped but quite fiddly.


Can actually reach the car now:


 

like the boot wrapping, need to do that myself

It certainly is

The alloy boost pipes and silicon should come soon.

Oh and next week my TSR Pack A G60 head should come

awesome work as ever bud, that rad pack is stunning  

Very nice rad and intercooler setup. That must have set you back a few quid.

It certainly did boss , but it will mean I can keep battery under the bonnet and still use my fancy bartek boost return . 

Certainly looks well made, the remaining part of the radtec kit (alloy pipes, clips and silicon pipes) comes from Roose Motorsport. Bit surprised that they didn't order this in 3 weeks ago when I placed the order lol

Managed to soda blast a few parts today. The inlet manifold was particularly dirty and I tried some degreaser with a wire brush but it was taking too long.

20 minutes with the soda blaster and it looked like new.

After a coat of acid etch primer.

Is it sacrilege to have a BBQ on a mk1 sunroof

nice work on the mani Rich!  That's a good use of an old sunroof mate, it'll probably get more use that way than when it was on the car

that rad pack is stunning mate 

OK remaining bits of the intercooler / radiatior kit have arrived now.

The nice chaps at TSR dropped off my Pack A cylinder head

Wednesday last week dad and I tried to connect the fuel system.

2 hours later we had 1 hose connected lol

We struggled connecting the filler neck breather to the tank in situe.

I have the stainless filler neck from crazyquiffs but the breather lug was a right struggle, we removed the neck and connected that end first and then attempted to connect it to the tank but its pretty tight in place!

Great weather for painting Sprayed up my throttle body and super charger brackets with a top coat. The aluminium paint I used before was a bit too bright so removed it and gave it a coat of satin paint instead.

Looking good dude

very nice looking refurbed parts. lovely shiny engine too

Lots done today Cylinder head on and components re installed. Inlet manifold and exhaust manifold back on. Orange top injectors fitted to my BBM fuel rail.

Test fitted the radtec intercooler and radiator but unfortunately it fouls the bonnet release catch! I have removed it temporarily but what have other radtec users done to fix this?

The intercooler return to throttle body is also in an interesting position and would hit the battery. To get round this I will mount the battery at 90 degrees. I'm not sure why the pipe is angled towards the battery, I had to check their site out to double check as I thought it was welded on wrong but this is how it's meant to be.
