Nanglebadger Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 pics as requested:Tom's rad capSard oil capThe over all effectthe more eagle eyed of u will notice that the pipe between the rolla mani and the rocker cover has been changed back to the OEM pipe, the blue silicone pipe was nice but it wasn't thick enough and the oil was slowly seeping through it, so if anyone has anythinker bits of hose lyin about that they think would work please feel free to make a donation or i'll pay for it, i'd also take red pipin for it if thats wot anyone has used and has some spare!Phil.

SiCaln Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 nice additions there boyocould u not just put the blue piping over the original pipe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Engine bays looking pretty good now, my cheap ebay silicone pipe seems to be working okay between the inlet and PCV valve... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Nice to see you got some cool wee bits in Phil.My pcv valve pipe had to be removed too.It was also too wide, a mm too wide.The stuff I got was 9mm which was fine for my 'other' bits not shown in public yet lol but a fraction too loose for the pcv hence the slight leakage.8mm is needed mate to keep things tight .Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 thanks gents!!Excellent Joz dude, i shall look into that asap! u are a FONT of EP knowledge! legend!OH OH OH i got a msg from ecksjay...he has something for me!!

Nanglebadger Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Ok got the car back from MOT prep today, she's ready to roll, all i need to do is put the stock number plates on and take the momo pedals off altho my mechanic says if they fail u for pedals they are pure bastards! He also fitted the new sub frame for the passenger seat so its now solida again...however he made a good point and i cant believe i was this stupid...if i dont hae back seats anymore y didn't i buy a solid subframe, that way i wouldnt be worried about the runners dyin again...ah well too late now its fitted, that'll teach me!Fog bulbs are fitted, not a whole lot different but a subtle change. Carpet was the wrong damn stuff but not to worry thats easily swapped.Toby has been paid so just awaiting delivery now.Now, i spoke to the young lad who does my painting, the guy who painted his saxo the same colour as my car after seein my car and workin on it. I want bits painted/repainted and he has stuff he wants painted so we're gonna get all our bits/cars together and split the costs that his boss will charge us for doin some paintin. I have some ideas of stuff i'd like colour coded in the engine bay, ideas i have stolen from Sl8ter and from walkin about JAE and snooping under bonnets, and some ideas that i may need to clear with Mark (as u all know i dont technically own some of the parts in my car), but I am also open to suggestions of what people think would look good colour coded. I have a list made up that i'm gonna alter/add to as my tastes see fit before commitng any parts to paint.Here's a pic of the bay exactly as she is at present. Suggestions, large and small, welcome. I will also be consulting indepth with SiCaln about this, we are fussy bastards aren't we!And my Jap goody from ecksjay is ready to be shipped woohoo!!!!!Phil.edit** just realised the pic wasnt taken from far enough out, oh well u'v all seen an n/a bay before, suggestions to put on the paint list welcome.

Liam_D Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Engine bay plans sound good, bummer about the fog light bulb.Good luck with the MOT dude, i'm sure she'll go straight through. SiCaln's idea of painting the airbox sounds good but if you're getting rid of it then never mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
