What have you done to your car lately?

[Raisin]

Today I continued to put things back in and clean. I secured in all the heater pipes and the oil cooler pipes as well as putting the little block where the exhaust gas heats the coolant on. Then I put the little grounding plate/bracket back onto that and put most of the loom back in place. Next I will put in the intake manifold, injectors, rest of the loom, throttle body and be ready to put pipes in on the front of the block. Finally the radiator will go in and all the intake piping.

Not sure what it's officially called, but it houses the coolant temperature sensor and there's a channel that seems to re-circulate some exhaust gas around to the intake. You can see it in this picture.



EDIT: Not my car by the way.

Yeah I just grabbed mine from supercheap but cost me about $80 so I'll keep that in mind for next time! Seem really great though, fixed a slight misfire I had on idle although the old plugs looked pretty crusty haha

Look on eBay, seriously it was actually $57.00 delivered, express post. It was only $3.50 extra for express.

I detailed the car inside and out and remove the old bubble vinyl from my pillars - it turns out my paints not so perfect underneath so I am having the vinyl re-done in Matte Black.
