Brake fluid reservoir heat shield.

After driving the car for a few weeks, I noticed the new manifold tended to increase under hood temperatures. Its proximity to the brake master cylinder, and fluid reservoir made me want to do something about it.

Using some sheet metal, I fabricated a small heat shield to keep the brake fluid at a reasonable temperature.

Tubular turbo manifold

After discovering that 2 of my exhaust manifold studs had snapped, I decided to upgrade. I chose the TopSpeed Performance tubular steal manifold/dump tube combo.

we got it all installed, its slightly different so I have a massive exhaust leak where my down pipe meets my cat, WOT the car has a slightly different sound now, more of a tuned growl, it is also quieter at cruising speed. Something I did notice, after it ran for a while the manifold gained a neat gold tinge.
