Another build thread

Thanks guys.
The airbox is a Carbon Dynamic Airbox (CDA) made by BMC.
A mate at work offered it me for a fraction of the new price, so I thought I may as well use it

I wouldn't fancy filling my system with water yet TT, let alone pressurise it!
There's still a couple of small bore hoses I need to fit/replace, not to mention several missing jubilee clips. Oh, and my filler cap doesn't fit, which I'm slightly annoyed about...

I suppose I'm going to have to get around to doing the wiring soon, I keep putting it off, but I'm running out of other things to do now!

Just a quick observation, but it looks like your inlet / airbox will be sucking in air from around the exhaust manifold? Wouldn't that be red hot air? I know my stainless manifold exhaust runs at a couple of hundred degrees when I shoot a infrared thermometer onto it.
I find the heat soak on that side of the engine is pretty high after I've been driving for even 15 mins. I've had to use some aluminised glass cloth on a few bits and bobs to keep the heat off components.

Yeah, I know it's going to be pretty hot there!
My plan is to bolt some ducting like this to the intake side of the airbox and route cold air into it from somewhere else:
