Lol

It has come as a seperate piece Matey  ;)


Another little update
Was able to mess about with my engine kit today
Laid it into the frame to see how it looked.
I have fixed the bottom of the air filters to the frame and the piece for the coolant tank to be fixed to
I have also fixed the oil filler tank to the frame
Then I sat the plenums, throttle bodies and MAF sensors in to see how it looks

Here are some pics






I'm going to fit it all up and then have it so I just unbolt the frame to take it out
These OEM frames are light as a feather, so with it all fitted up it aint going to weigh much  ;)

Hi mick, guys , well I had a good day yesterday on her ,firstly I needed to remove the heat shield from underneath the car to be able to relocate the new Oem handbrake but before I could I had to remove the lovely stainless steel exhaust, once the exhaust was removed I also removed the silencer as it was to quiet lol , don't worry mick if it's to loud I can weld it back in .
Next job was to weld the hole left from the pug h / brake then  weld some new studs for the Ferrari h/ brake,  job done . Will be connecting the cable back up today ,here's a few pics so far cheers Jd .

Another little update

Decided to change the way the end of the plenums look, the intake end
They come moulded like this





Not the right shape but probably like that as to get them back out of the moulds




So I decided to cut them about so I could then reshape them with trusty Upol B







Only managed to cut one side because my 4th poxy Dremel died on me  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
So another trip to B&Q tomorrow to exchange it again

Once I have done both sides I will give it a skim of filler  :)
