Hi Dave - You have an extremely nice car and an impressively clean and shiny engine bay - lovely to see one in such good condition! :D

That's a great looking 924 engine bay!, how did you get the intake to gleam like that??, need to fit an alternator cooling tube from the top though, or the alternator won't last too long under heavy load. :D

I hand polished the inlet, alternator and various other engine bits that are out of sight. The inlet I did in place which is why the runners are a bit half hearted! I took the alternator off to polish the top half of it but after finishing realised I'd done the bottom half so ended up doing the complete unit!

The car was missing the rear cooling cowl from the alternator when I got it 3 years and I've just not got round to replacing it (anyone got a spare?) but it hasn't caused any issues either.

Thanks for the nice comments guys! The Konis work a treat - corner handling confidence 100% over the old stock, lowered Koni springs help, along with that Pro-9 front spoiler! Car drives on rails. Just the tyres next - I have Dunlop 225 front and 245 rears - no spacers. The latter no longer available unfortunately...
