Well , since i am about to start making small changes on my sprint since i dont have to do a full restoration i think it is a nice chance to create a thread of thinks we all can do to our cars.:thumbs:
Well , first think was that i replaced the original airbox with one of a 33 QV. The advantage is that the iron fence stays on the box and not on the removable metal cover so even if we remove it there is small protection against rubbish..... as for the cover i painted using red color which was heat resisant . Before that i used 600 & 800 sandpaper to grid it and the final result was guite impressive:
Air box Panted
As for the air intake i bought one 65mm ventilation tube from a shop that had industrial products which was quite cheap. It was a perfect fit on the one mounting point end and needed only a small modification to the airbox :
Air Intake industrial Tube
Also in order to increase the ammount of air i removed the cover on the intake mount behind the grill:
Removed air intake protection cover
I also started polishing all the metal and aluminum parts in the engine room. I used a soap that it is used to polish metal and aluminums which is quite cheap. The procedure is quite good and here are the first tests on the water cap and on the magneti marelli restrictor:
Polisted Water cap
Polished Magneti mareli
if someone else has something similar is free to post it here...
