[Supras] Some new pictures of what is going on

[Karsten Horn]

Hello Dean

What a nice looking engine bay you got there, I especially like the
cover plate on top of the sparkplugs. It gives the top a much cleaner
look compared to looking at the typical loom. 

As you kind of keep the heat below the plate have you experienced any
problems with brittle sparkplug wires or are that too early to say
anything about?

As I'm going COP, this could be a very nice way to make an absolutely
clean top of the engine.

Regards
Karsten
