Not far off the same money at the moment. Pity the situation isn't reversed, as it was a few months ago...

Carried out a couple of changes under the hood for visual appearance. Painted the engine cover and fabricated a battery cover (just to hide it) from 6mm plastic sheet I happen to have.

Cheers guys. I keep looking at it and thinking there is too much red, I may change the battery cover to fake carbon fibre film, I have a roll of it and it would be easy to do.
The colour looks more orange than red in the image buts its Ford red engine enamel on the rattle can.



Ok, so I've changed the battery cover to fake carbon fibre film.

Thanks again Rod. I'm still not completely happy though, LMAO. I think it looks out of proportion in size, I may cut about a inch off one side to make it look more rectangular, mmm.

I'm more partial to the good old days of actual nice valve covers, not all this plastic crap. But all things considered I think you did a good job

I agree there, much rather see a nice alloy valve cover.

Time for another update.
Added a another cold air inlet today when I had the front bumper off for IC replacement. It was as simple as drilling a hole in the top of the inner cowling behind the grill. With a bit of extra fab work you could make up a nice little Ram scoop for the OEM air box. I use a piece of 2" poly pipe with a small bell mouth for the entry. Its a little ruff but its not visable.

Rear Motor Mount replacement.

Finally got round to doing this job. This not really a Motor mount, correct term is Engine but its not a engine mount either. More an anti torque or engine pitch link.
Nothing I do is usually straight forward and neither was this as there were a number of stages before I was happy, sort off.

In the interests of trying to save a little money I attempted to mod the OEM mount to start with. Removed it and used silastic to fill the gaps in the large bush after reading about this idea on another forum. I reckon it was effective to a degree for about 15 minutes before the silastic spat out the ends. The worst part was curing of the salastic took 72 hours.

Not finished yet, and picking up the idea from Rick, this time I fill the gaps in the large end bush with a resin, made washers and used O rings for the sides to stop the resin running out while it set and again let it cure for 72 hours with the help from the heat of a oven for a few hours ever now and then.
This proved quite successful and I could notice a definite difference but lets say it was a little zingy at certain rpms vibrating the mirrors and seat.

Finally I decided to follow convention and actually buy a bush for the large end only. I went for the Power Flex black series after locating a dealer in Australia. Removing the OEM bush proved to be a pita without a press.
Driving the car I was surprised at the lack of vibration form the Power flex bushing, and this is the black race series.
Gear changes are nice and firm with a more direct feel.

Completed my IC replacement/upgrade. Went for a Mishimoto J-line rather than a bolt on and saved a few dollars in the process. Its a relatively straight forward fitment with minimal fabrication needed.
