What have you done with your Spider ? - updated PICS!!!!

Looks like a Pro vent.

due to the fuel rails and coils i added the stock air tubes would not work. so out front it went!

provent it is..

Nice thanks!....mine should be out tomorrow, we have the engine unbolted but the motor mounts are in the way....doing a little more research in another thread. I will be taking it to the powdercoater Tuesday so I should have pics Friday!

This is the Euro spider for my boat engine.

A little grinding on the seams, then a simple silver powder coat. I painted the emblem red to match the cam covers and added a set of new stainless clamps.

Went to the powdercoaters today. They do good work and are easy to work with. After some discussions we came up with what should be a combination that should "pop" well when you open the hood. We are doing the legs in a red that has gold metal flakes in it, then the center with be a metallic silver and I will buy a Gold replacement emblem. This should pull it together and play off the red and yellow wires and tubes I have in the engine bay already.

It will take 3 baking cycles. Because my parts are cast aluminum they need to be out-gased and coated and baked with a solution to pull the oil and contaminents from underneath the top layer, otherwise when he bakes it it will pull small flecks of black up into the finish. But they do all the cleaning an blasting needed included. Hopefully will have pics next week!

VERY nice TASS....I like the Red emblem too! That reminds me I need new stainless clamps as well.
