Quick hijack, I asked you before, but don't rember the answer...

What paint did you use on the inlet mani and the rocker cover? Also why did you powder coat it (any gains?) and the last question *drum roll*, do you need to prep any of it in anyway for the paint.

I did a rocker job on my polo years back using hycote paint which required no prime just sand and spray but it does not have a great selection of colours as I'm intrested in gloss black and a navy/blue colour to match silicone.

Also what catch can is that as my toyosport one started leaking down the fluid level, tried sealing it several times and just giving up on it... Final question is, what induction kit you got there as I want abit more noise so looking at a cone one similar to yours...

The IC looks nice though, bet you can't wait for stage 2!

Looks brilliant mate.  One thing though, doesn't the crash bar obstruct a huge amount of air from getting to the cooler?
