Asad Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 yeah, whole pipe off, put the hole in the box for the sensor, filter in sensor in put the pipe on tighten n then stretch it to the tb n tighten it at that end was easy really only thing which took time was the hole for the sensor because i filed it by hand n it came out perfect for £3 looks so much better n not out of place.

ste91 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 lol for my sensor hole in the airpipe we didn't have a big enough drillbit so just used a smaller one and moved it around a bit until the hole was big enoughno filing or nothing, just squeezed the rubber bung in=success Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 lol i used a little drill bit n filed it out using needle files took abt 10min, put the old gromet in n bobs your uncle....i dint wanna put it in the rubber pipe like a few people have on here as it was already stretched n i dont do cowboy jobs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Asad Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 The arb was knocking as it needed tightning up ALOT when i get back home both tyres are comming off n its going to get the old muscle treatment (i advise you check yours too jimbo and anyone else).....brought the spoiler with me but no polish Do`h! it handles soo much better now no more being thrown about just sits nicely around corners= win!! roll on alk! another 3-400miles then oil+filter change. It behaved itself today on the motorway still thristy tho..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 i read somewhere that stars are thirsty on the motorway, constant 70 aint really any good for economy i guess.. hammering the guts out of a 1.3 aint either glad to hear everythings coming together bud, shame about the polish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 come to think of it im always around 65-80 mabe i need to drive grandad style?im really stuck on the spoiler now.....after asking liam he said the tiger seal wont probaly bond too good in the cold any suggestions?

Bourkey Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Must have a nut loose on it somewhere. It's put on exactly the same as mine so it is the only thing it could be. Some of the thread locker may also have washed off in the vast amount of rain we had that night. Make sure you tighten it up sooner than later though as you don't want it dropping off. It wont make you crash or anything but it would obviously damage it considerably.That Wispa and Sprite went down a treat .Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 I tightend up what i could reach....it doesnt knock anymore and all of the nuts will be re-done again with possible thread lock on sat to en-sure it stays put. I will only be going on a 40mile journey home so hopefully nothing happens lol.....yeah as above mate re-check yours just to be on the safe side Quote Link to post Share on other sites
