Hi Lumix & Monika,
My Engine Hood Insulator is also a little tatty.
I have been considering making one from a product such as Armaflex FR.
I tried to attach a brochure but it wouldn't. Armaflex is a black synthetic foam rubber type insulation material, commonly seen in tubular form for insulating refrigeration pipework. It is also seen as protective padding on roof-racks.
It is available in 1.0 m x 1.5 m sheets, & 6mm & 9 mm thickness.
Does anyone have any experience or comments ?

Hey Peter. Thanks for the information. I asked my brother who does large refrigeration installs he said "it could get smoky" but would look into it. Hopefully I can get some test pieces from my brother and see how it will work.

Yeah Lumix,
I also work in that industry.
I reckon that I will buy a thin sheet & give it a go, & keep an eye on it.
Your brother may also know that the material can be painted with acrylic paint to improve weather proofing.

I bought a K&N 33-2030 air filter BUT for the life of me I can't get 2 of the 4 clips that hold the air box closed latched. I started making idle threats with car sales mentioned a few times. After trying for a hour or so of removing and refitting my frustration was getting to the better of me. So I decided to drop the Ryco filter back in and have another attempt tomorrow. The Ryco goes in like butter, 10 seconds later it was all back together. The K&N rubber border is quite thick so maybe I just need more downward force to compress it while doing up the latches.

Do yourself a favour and remove the whole air cleaner box and experimentally fit the element on the bench where you can see properly what is going on.   Maybe wrong element!   Don't want to DUST a perfectly good engine.
Ive had difficulty with a couple of other types of vehicles in this area too.  Usually poor design.  SW20 is actually quite good and needs to be as they breathe a fair bit of sand and brake dust.

Thanks for the advice Falcon. After a little patience K&N filter is now in the air box.

Small update:
Nothing exciting has changed. I'm back on stock rims again and loving it. I also mocked up a new 4-ABS sticker (close to original as possible) for bmx4130 and myself. I will get a few more printed in case anyone else would like one.

For a moment there Doug (Falcon) I thought this was your immaculate sw20.
 
Nice work Lumix... I love your attention to detail.

Thanks Carmikey for the kind words.
 
I turned my bathurst sticker layout into a 3D model allowing me to 3D print it. I made a few adjustments to the model and turned it into a little keyring. I'm happy with the result - it is small enough not be a hindrance. I also started to mock up subtle phone holder for the ash tray and a cup holder for the door card.
 

Now that is AWESOME!
