I've just put the finishing touches on my Indy, still got a gear knob being turned up at the moment but other than that the car is as it will stand until the turbo conversion.

Heres some pics, let me know what you think.

Cheers
Joe

It looks totally awesome matey.
I especially like the rough iron SIPS. Are you adding that next?

looks great!

What front arches have you fitted? they don't look like standard issue MK items?

graememk - 10/4/06 at 08:12 AM

want to swap ?

Nice job, well done that man !

Awful!! Hideous!!

Only kidding, top job

I think you'll find the fog light is way too low for SVA though.

looks nice mate

you are gonna need a turbo with all those extra bits you have and armchair seats

That looks great bud! Very nice finish.

Very curious about the airbox. Is there any chance you have pictures of the way that you cut out the carb body holes and turned them over? If not, is there any chance the next time you take it off that you could take a picture of the underside!? I've been trying for ages to find a piccie of a modified inverted box.

Does it run much quieter? Any big changes in jetting required?

Thanks,

Chris.

Very nice and well finished... Turbo?

yep a company in sweden do one for all our BECs carbed or injection

but they like you to go through there agent Holshot which as we all know the price doubles from there website quotes

unless you do it yourself

Thanks for your comments.

As for the pressure in the tyre its as they came out of the box?!? I'll check though as I hadnt noticed that before.

The foglight I think may need adjusting up a little as its only just in the 250mm range. I'll make a little bracket up this evening.

I modified the airbox by cutting out a rectangular section and glued it back into place. I'll get some pics next time its off for you.

I like the rear lights, well I like the whole thing. Any chance you could tell me where the light came from.

They were supplied by MK but I've seen them for sale from other people too, like SVC.
