StarletMad Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Remove the hose pipe and buy an oil breather filter.The blue hose off the PCV valve put onto the inlet wer that orange bit is blocked off.Remove that yellow hook (keep it though can come in handy if/when removing engine)Respray the cam cover black and the yellow bits black too .........

wssoR Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 First things first give it a good clean, you'd be surprised how much of a difference that makes alone, also I've got a monster Motorsport catch can laying in the garage, £30 delivered if you want it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Even having matching ht leads to your silicon joiners would help clean it up abit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I'd have fun sorting this out haha!I've just started doing mine because its also a mess! I decided to clean it to start with and got a bit carried away and ended up taking the whole front end off and giving it a fresh lick of paint. Made a massive difference already. Then it rained and I had to bail inside lol! Will continue tomorrow... But heres a comparison so far.DirtyGave all rusty areas a good rub with wirebrush and some 80grit sandpaper and then gave it a few good coats of hamerite smoothMassive difference! Haven't even started on the bay yet really .Will update this tomorrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ro55ifumi Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 As every on has already said give it a wipe down/clean and try and co-ordinate leads and hosesBit of wet an dry will bring the Fuel mani back to life John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mat-Richmond Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Adam you filthy tart,,,, looks loads better that does dude think I might be tempted to do mine now over the weekend:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grum-glanza Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Cool lads thanks I've got my new turbo and stuff at home just waiting for everything to come in before I get pics up I can't wait it's going to look savage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnboy GT Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Ive also had my front end off and painted it black, ht leads and silicone joiners in blue, cleaned my firewall several times with gunk, cleaned the underside of my bonnet with wd40 and having a new rocker painted.Lovely John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Adam you filthy tart,,,, looks loads better that does dude think I might be tempted to do mine now over the weekend:)Filthy tart!!? How dare you! Do it mate, it makes such a difference. Mine looks a bit tatty up close but its all under the bumper anyway. I've just done it to stop rust, wear and tear etc. Took me about half hour lol...Done more today! I've shortened pipes, hidden wires, cleaned down nooks and crannies, wirebrushed a few bits, done a little bit of wiring to tidy things up too. Far from finished but slowly getting there. Would be a lot easier with a pressure washer lol! Will let pictures do the talking .I also was took some more crap out that wasn't needed and hid a few things off the bulkhead...

metalmickey0 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Would love to power wash out my engine bay but it plays havok with the electrics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 It's not too bad with the electrics. Just cover as much up as possible. Spray wd40 in the dizzy after Quote Link to post Share on other sites
