Looking good, doesn't look like the bonnet/hood will clear... And I also would like to know if the idler's came with the kit.
Keep it up!

Andrew asked me if I wanted idlers when I brought the kit, and suplied those ones, they are only plastic so will be interesting to see how long they last.

A lot of cars have plastic idlers, I would think they will be fine.

Forgot the camera again today, my mate has todays pics on his camera.
There is about half a days work left and should be ready to come to life.
Here is a couple of teaser pics of a 3.3 litre Whipple on the 1UZ.

Did an engine service and fixed a couple of water leaks that showed up out of
left field, but damn it sounds nice, not going to full boot it yet, but the part throttle runs I gave it have just made the smile on my face a little more permanent.

8lbs for now.
plan for later, maybe sooner maybe later, bigger injectors piggy back or stand alone and Should be able to go to 11lbs safely.
Will have to wait and see about that though
