Main requirement before building the intake was not to cut the front bumper. Result is shown below

Finally, all parts are fitted, all plugs are plugged in, and it works 8)

So, some more bits done for the Cali :)

Approx 1.5k gone since the engine upgrade. Time for the first oil change. We've chosen 10W-60 oil.

Also, standard n/a 16V brakes were changed to later turbo ones.

Old front 256mm brake disc

Image

New 288mm brake disc

Image

Feel the difference (c)

Image

Rear discs were also a little bit upgraded

Old rear disc

Image

New one

Image

Fuel lines from the fuel tank till the engine were also changed to new

Image

By the way rust prevention actions were implemented :)

Couple words about the interior.

Standard black leather interior is still on its place :)

Image

Image

Awful blue stickers from speedo were thrown away with the first opportunity. Now white 'plasmas' are there. But 'plasma' speedo also will be changed one day I believe...

Door sills were bought and fitted:
(still have no good pics of them, only taken by phone's camera)

Image

Image

Image

Nice touch actually 8)

Isotta gear knob as well as Omega wiper stalk with adjustable idle were fitted as well

Together with new engine DID was replaced by BC

Great pix Mr D!

A few questions about your front bumper:

Tell me , is that the original GM 'cliff' front bumper or the Lenk version?
How do you get access to the tow hook?
Is the lower air dam similar, smaller or larger size than standard?
Are the two secondary vents either side open or blocked off?
( Any chance of a close up photo of that area?)
Does it sit any lower than the standard bumper?
