"maybe that washer bottle will go now too"
Do you have an alternative lined up? The one on your car is the 'slimline' two-part washer bottle setup.

Re: MY CAV 4x4

Re: MY CAV 4x4
Lovely job, Darren. Did you have custom rails made for the seats?
Re: MY CAV 4x4
had to have fabricated some adapter plates and modify the car brackets to make them fit, but all works good and retained both height adjustment and slider action plus works with stock pre tensioner belts so nice and safe.

Re: MY CAV 4x4

Re: MY CAV 4x4
removed indicators from the front strip and retro fitted them inside the outer headlights and also refitted the inner lights as side lights and mainbeam to outer, all using H4 bulbs to BRIGHTEN things up a bit, then fitted omega washer jets until i have it welded and painted in the near future, not a bad cover up feature for now ha ha

Re: MY CAV 4x4
The front looks 100% better, Them seats and that engine look awesome
Re: MY CAV 4x4
So....update time, im sure yous are wondering whats been happening so here goes..
Mocal sandwich plate onto the Z20LEH oil pump, braided hoses to oil cooler and moved the positioning to accomodate larger fan for radiator.
gearbox and transfer box back on and engine mounts arrived from germany! ready to drop back in
Engine back in turbo and manifold back on and shiny dewis inlet on with an Omex 3.5 bar FPR all using dash6 union fittings
New roose motorsport hoses to sort cooling out
Decided it was time to up the boost pipe diameter to 70mm for big power
old for new
mock up pipe fit ready for welding to keep as much hard pipe as possible rather than the scruffy hose and clip overdose as seen on many, and all roose pipes fitted.
ECU being fitted today so hopefully a turn of a key is just around the corner!

Re: MY CAV 4x4
Top work, Darren. What mounts are you using? Also, what bottom pulley is pictured? I'm liking that a lot!
Re: MY CAV 4x4
Just standard mounts Dan, new ones ordered from Germany, I still wanted it to feel a nice drive. Bottom pulley I will check the Morra for you.
