Hi Rob, I know but the hoses came out pink, and I've not discovered my feminine side yet

loving the ultra light front disks also! How much weight do they save? Have they impacted the braking at all? lol

[hoyin]

How much did that cost?

I need to get this done! Cannot believe Martin did not say anything to me about it! My engine bay is a bit of a dirty mess.

Those manifolds are great - did bespoke sort those out?

Of course, but the price will be different

Taking the wheels off saved more weight and since then I haven't noticed any difference in braking

Thanks, Yes good old Martin had enough of my nagging for some engine bling, and organised it all,
Its not cheap as is all heat resistant, The manifolds have a special coating, to help reduce the heat they give off, they also come in a range of colours.
All the little bits add up to a huge 50% gain in heat management from standard engine bay temps. Heat problems thankfully are a thing of the past.

Im sure I seen your M400 a few times when Ive dropped it off for skip to work his magic - looks a weapon!!

[hoyin]

Damn it. I just had my manifolds changed.

Never offered that to me!!

Maybe they were being nice and trying to reduce the amount I spend on the car for me.

More than likely, Skip sees it more than me. Think I need to stop spending money on it now, the bling is the final touch along with my gearbox upgrade on 5th gear. Should now be a strong and reliable 700bhp
without any gearbox, or any other weakness. Also had the floating break discs by jetstreem fitted.
There is nothing left that I can do she is maxed out on upgrades and now in the bling department.
Finished the Caterham too, she is also maxed out. Maybe time for a new project.
