Avenga Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Yes. It is sealed into the cabin by that box around it and draws air in the vent under the window. The same way the heater used to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noel Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Yip, good luck with the recovery and the health benefits that come from it. You won't know yourself in a few months time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piazzanoob Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 hope your recovery is all going well. personally think painting the engine stuff the same colour as the body could look too much of the same colour like overdone but could also look great like alot of show cars have done. take a look at this build and see what you think of the red also wrinkle black or red could work or get the aluminum components vapour blasted. but whatever you end up doing will still look great as the current build is! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 +1 Black and Silver. Body coloured engine parts just look out of place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenga Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 Thanks for your feedback. I do like the silver and black because it has a good contrast My problem with black is that in makes the engine look very bland, because the plastic trim is also black. I like the contrast of silver and black better. There a car with a black 1UZ and ITB's in the next workshop over so I went and took a photo of it's engine. It just looks like too much black and nothing to break it up. Here is a pic online that I found with crinkle paint which looks better because it has some silver accents Or I could go something crazy and custom like this But I don't really want to add a third colour in to the engine bay.

Mof Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I like the shade of red your masking tape is. Maybe just some accents, not a whole pile of red. Like those rocker covers ^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwibirdman Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I saw the car at the Painters when I was down there a couple of weeks ago. Looks really good. Are you local to Birkdale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Hey mate, looking good and progressing quick! Could you let me know the make and part number of that idle control valve? Looks useful for my application! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenga Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Thanks Richie. I'm rushing to get it ready for my South Island trip in October. Fingers crossed!! The idle control valve is from NZEFI. Here is a link http://www.nzefi.com/product/2-wire-idle-speed-control-solenoid-kit-weld-flange/ They also do a remote mount version http://www.nzefi.com/product/2-wire-remote-mount-idle-speed-control-solenoid-kit/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 How about the nice looking hose clamps on your fuel system - where are they from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I reckon these are better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenga Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 I think the were either Wurth or Tridon, they are the ones they make specially for the fuel system The ones for the vacuum hoses are pinch-on double ear clamps. Again, either from Wurth or Tridon, I forget which. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
