Exhaust side all finished just 1 inlet port left, will finish soon enough :)




Quick shot this morning, not best pic but oh well, wanting VXR front bumper and Penta Alloys to finish off the car so if anyone knows of any please let me know :)

 
inlet manifold runners taking shape quite nicely bit rough yet needs a bit of grinding and slight reshaping

1-3/4 inch pipe warmed and reshaped to fit the inlet flange



 
just roughly taking metal off inlet botton half to see how far i can get :)



got some dealer plugs, 3 angle cut valves just need to skim tomorrow...some pics have gone missing during last few day as my phone broke :(

 
Looking good B ;) :p

cheers K ;) aha

Z16XEP cylinder head for me astra finished...port polished, 3 angle cut valves, cams i cant get because piper can only reprofile mine and will need new solid buckets making which will cost a fortune

need to polish the combustion chambers again all scuffed after all work should of been last thing I did

porting inlet manifold bottom half,decided not to block the flap ports but actually used the flap housing as a plig to fill the gap in the manifold and smoothed it into the rest of the inlet

needs a little work but should do fine, will bond after it and sand it flush to get a nice smooth texture
