the item that the airscoop used to be, is nothing like what i want it to be now. im trying to minimise how much i alter the reynard, so to keep its true form of what it is. or i may aswell have bought a stupid suburu bonnet one.

Done more glassing and sanding today, while it was curing I took to the block with the wire discs, located the rust bubbles and went to town on them.. coming up ok.. should be ready for coating by the end of tomorrow.   |

steve, do you know if the RS exhaust manifold will work on the zetec head? i dont have a gasket to have a look.
If it would fit, would there be a disadvantage for using it without a turbo due to how its configures opposed to the std 4-1 zetec manifold? im just thinking it would be good to move the down pipe over to the left instead of straight down.
and yes looks like were innovators with the mtx75 lol

Should be a direct fit buddy, from what ive seen. Checking manifiold gaskets are always a good check before purchase  It would bottleneck the gasses, and maybe not a good move on an NA car, as the turbos not there to overcome the losses inherited. IMO should be ok. But, im unsure if a turbo would fit in the gap,  unless you went t25 route:) |

no turbo mate, i have the charger, it is solley for space and moving it. wasnt sure how it would perform, as the gases are not going to exit well as they are turning left straight out of the head instead of flowing straight. i would imagine not a problem when they are wanted to spin a turbo, but i just want them venting to atmosphere by the fastest route, well to tuning requirements

have you looked into gear cables yet? if you find anywhere before me let me know, we can get 2 sets done, and try save a quid

I think it would work bud, but due to the unequal 4-1 design, expect some minor losses.
The design however, and strength is very good, and VAG cars still use the design on the TFSI's.
A t3 flange will be needed to join up.

have you looked into gear cables yet? if you find anywhere before me let me know, we can get 2 sets done, and try save a quid There's a company on eBay selling custom length cables up to 3m long. 39.99£ each. By memory they are in ellesmere port. My first solution is to mount the stock cables from the mtx75 box to the RTR mountings near the fuel tank/handbrake running them underneath the engine ( as my exhaust permits this). Then, the ball joint couplings unscrew, and I was going to fabricate rods from aluminium to the gearstick location. This would de bulk the tunnel a little. My own solution is to say the least, more technical than anything mentioned above, and is in development as we speak. I won't be using cables/rods |

haha, ok i see, im mounting the gear lever next to the steering wheel, like the civic type R so not actually measured up yet as i need to weld in a 1" tube and triangulate it, then make a mounting point on it, mount the QS, then i can measure for it to loop under the box and up.

It's not easy, but it'll be worth it. Just making it as light as possible is a challenge. The kit will be retrofittable and stand alone. So, just make sure you don't weld your gearstick in lol. |
