Great work Wazz - the intake looks great - where is the cold air coming in?
Both front brake ducts are fully enclosed / boxed off, under the wheel arch, and fresh "outside" air is then directed through two 100mm holes in each side of the firewall..and fed into the front half of the air box.
Then there's a vertical air filter panel separating the front half from the back half...and the engine sucks air from the back half.
Hope that makes sense !
Here's some pics showing the "mock up" and making sure everything was going to fit first.
Here's a couple showing the "Before" and "After"
Now...Was that a genuine first start or had Scotty fired it up before hand? Ive seen a lot of first start videos and mine was the only one that coughed and spluttered and thought long and hard before settling into a nice idle when I first fired her up.
Scotty had been waiting for a couple of "bits" to arrive, before he could finish the air box and header tanks etc.....That's all we needed to finish the engine, and we could fire her up...
Then he phoned me Friday afternoon, and said " LISTEN"...I heard it running..and it sounded a bit rough.....
and I was in his shop Saturday morning for MY first start.
He knew I'd have a heart attack if it FAILED after all this time...so he made sure it was right first.
All Good.
Cheers,
