Oil pan clearance is optimum...
The picture below shows the old Bisimoto downpipe that the Beave replaced. It's a night and day difference in the ingenuity and detail Beave put into making this header better!
And the much needed rear header to block brace...
I could not be happier with how the Beave's modifications came out. As many have speculated, the choice a certain engineer made regarding downpipe diameter was a little much for a d16. Especially one that is only 1611cc.
The header should be in my hands next week and I will promptly install it. In the meantime I have done a bunch of work. Nothing work taking pictures of since most of us have already seen that type of thing. All of the sound deadening material has been removed in the cabin. All that remains are small amounts of glue and a thorough cleaning. I also installed the new Walbro 255 fuel pump. That install went very easy.
The to do list now:
-buy mineral spirits and wipe off glue in cabin
-gut hood
-fab radiator brackets
-install radiator
-purchase and install new slim fan mounting kit
-gut doors
-fab sheet metal headlight cover
-remove cracked windshield
-repair rust areas around the windshield
-install new windshield
Tomorrow looks to be a nice day and I should be able to get some sort of work done.
Thanks for reading!
