looks good that, where did you get the hoses from? also can you get extension pipes for say a piper-cross induction kit to bring it out where your green cotton is instead of where the stock air box used to be?
just wana tidy up the rocker cover and your engine bay would look pretty smart mate

got that 6mm pipe from ebay, ye you could just get some metal induction pipe like mine there and bring it down closer to behind the fan.

should have the whole thing done by next weds and i will let you know all the sizes and that so you know what to order in one.

yup im getting the rocker cover powder coated black or nickel plated.

are you going to get a new rocker cover or referb that one? is it just regular 6mm bore pipe then?where do you think i can get induction pipe? ebay i guess
what's the gain of nickel plating the cover? haven't seen it done before

edit
is it this stuff? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6mm-BLUE-SILIC...item3a4a6f91ed

yes thats the stuff, i bought 3metres but you dont want that much tbh. 2metres would be plently. ye its 6mm bore, ebay is quite pricey for the induction pipe im looking at kamracing and just other carsites.
the gain of nickel plating is nout tbh. its just for looks instead of powdercoating it but i will probz just have it powdercoated black tbh. and yes im refurbing it

will look around for the induction pipes
