ian Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 thanks alot to luke for sorting me out with the mani, and joz for helping it along.mani looks in very good condition, i have noticed there is some oil inside (as expected) should i clean it out, if so how would i do that and what with? i was gonna soak it in water for a few hours. any other things i should know before fitting please let me know. thanks in advance, keirzi gave mine a spray with carb cleaner n a quick rag through only thing to remeber is make sure the fuel rail is on, youll need a new bit of vacuum piping and the earthing cable hole thing lol will need to be enlarged......... but thats it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 what is the reason for moving the fuel rail. i cant see a need to move it.is it just for better access to the bolts?thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 How do you attach your current air filter pipe to this? does this mani attach to the standard airbox pipe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 you use the current throttle body so it attachs the same way.just need to know if the fuel rail has to be moved? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 im not sure, but you can see it in the for sale section. its stan_the_man's from his breaking sr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 i wouldnt use water. use some thinners, white spirit or even petrol... water wont even touch it.pm'd about the rail dude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 i was worried about using white spirit because i didnt know if the fumes would effect the engine. (me being dumb i bet)gonna clean it tonight, spray it tomorrow and fit it fri or sat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 gonna clean it tonight, spray it tomorrow and fit it fri or sat.we have a very similar plan here...its now a race between us!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 haha fair enough.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ian Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 yeh sorry should have been more clear!the fuel rail needs to be removed for access to the bolts youll know if it aint on properly first time as itll sound like a scooby lmao Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 gonna try first to do it without moving it, if that fails i will have to. from what i can see i should be alright, havn't tried yet but by eye it looks like i can get access.its all cleaned out now and spraying has begun, looks cool now but will need a few more coats tomorrow.

Idrees Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 what colour? pics ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 done it with some chrome spray paint. its not really really chrome but its still alot nicer looking than normal silver. will get pics up when its all on and fitted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 haha thats the same colour i was planning on using...hmm might make a change of plan.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 spraying is complete and im pretty happy with it.think i got a plan to fit without getting a longer bit of vacuum pipe, just involve moving the v.sensor bracket and bolting it closer.just hope the weather stays dry.

Idrees Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I've done mine aswell lol! Not chrome though, its metallic silver. Goin to order some samco vacuum hose, anybody know is 4mm diameter is suitable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 ecksjay,do you mean pissing it, as in pissing it down or are you inplying that i should point percy at it and wee down it . dont think the second would help the situation any, would it now. Ill give that a go if you reckon it would. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
