Zorsts.......It's a Wrap!!!

Back again after a long gap, I've been busy sorting out the last maor component install, namely the exhaust system. When I left them, they had been painted heat resistant black, and I had decided to wrap the headers in some space age lava rock weave. I spent a bit of time waiting for the stuff, it is called DEI titanium exhaust wrap, and the local agent is Michael Moolman. At any rate he came through with the merch. I bought 2 off 2" *50ft rolls and it was just enough to wrap the exhausts.

If you want the definition of "cool"in the dictionary you will find that photo next to it.

The advantage of this new stuff over other wraps is you don't have to wet it first, and it doesn't need any silicon spray. The two outer headers were easily done, but the centre siamese twinned headers needed some dexterity!

Having done that, I pre-assembled the muffler and connector pipe and called it a night. I had a little hassle arranging the muffler guard brackets and was totally foxed as to how they fit the pipes until I saw they had been stamped "F" "M"and "R" (Front, Middle and Rear) Once I had sussed that the rest was easy.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Small, but Important Tasks

It has been bloody miserable the past couple of weeks so I have resorted to doing stuff like fitting indicators to the nosecone, deflector hinges to windscreen uprights etc etc. All stuff that can be done indoors.

The one thing that cannot be done indoors is laying out and fitting the Alphamax Engine Management System harness.

This was easier than I thought, and in a couple of hours I had connected up the injectors, RPM sensor, fuel pump etc etc. The instructions are very clear and the connector labelling is excellent.

Then went a bit overboard with the cable ties, methinks.
