PICS please

 

[Kaxe]

haha no problem!

Need a nice custom engine cover now:

Nice and clean for once! lol!

[the radman]

doesnt the standard engine cover fit then? or are you after one that allows the inlet to be seen? nice spec, whats the mileage on it?

It does fit but sadly covers the lovely looking inlet! So yeah might get one that shows it off but not the end of the world as I don't go to shows that much anymore! 😅
Thank you I am slowly finishing off a tidy, strong spec... I am currently at 8,600 now!

 

[the radman]

good to see youve put some miles on it cant say ive ever seen any other types of enginecover that are a diff shape

...some really nice custom ones I've seen out there. I'm going to have to get one!
Something like this to show off the Mountune inlet:

LOL I've gone and caved and used the Mountune "EASTER" 15% off discount code and bought a sports/CAT downpipe!! 🙈

 

[the radman]

...yeah there are loads of styles. That's just one for an example!
LOL you can't sell yours and then buy one modded to enjoy, you might as well start driving yours more! LOL!

 

[Kaxe]

She's baaack! ...and looking fresh from DMC after a little detail and caliper refurb!

Next up get booked in for fitting:

• Eibach springs
• Mountune downpipe/sports CAT
• Proalloy intercooler

🥰

 

[the radman]

they should have been colour coded from new , look great👍

 

[Kaxe]

Thanks mate. I agree! I tried to stay as close to standard as possible and had them originally refurbed in grey but it didn't last so I thought sod it lets go red!! ...life's too short!

Fitted a cover like that to my son's mk3.5 ST as it has a similar Dreamscience intake pipe and Mountune manifold fitted like you do. It fits well and is much better than having a bare engine.

The company who make them took ages to get it to him though.

Little lunch break tlc Friday...

Looks muuuch better, previous filter was getting tatty!
Might try cleaning it...

 

[ChrisCh]

It's quite easy to clean the old one and re-oil it, there's a service kit on Amazon for around £10 which is easy to use.

It won't get it looking quite as red as the one you just bought, but it will be perfectly useable. I did mine a few months ago, much cheaper than buying a new one!

Finally booked in to go see Fred at FJRS! 🥳

They are fitting my:

• Black Pro Alloy intercooler
• Mountune Downpipe/Sports CAT
• Switch to Eibach Springs because my Mountune yellow springs are too corroded to keep running... (they will be for sale to someone to refurb the coating)

Possible plans for future:

• Mountune V3 Exhaust (but never in stock when I feel like taking the plunge! )
• m400r (Already purchased and uploaded to my mTune handset but awaiting the V3 )
• Possible Engine Forge for reliability but that's £££
