Hopefully want a list of bits I can rip out that just simply not needed.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikey4410 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 How about this picture, any good to you? The fuse box has been relocated to the glove box and was a nightmare to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Fusebox can stay haha just need to figure what else I can ditch to make it look neater Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J40k-mo Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Do you need to carbon canister? And the valve what attaches to it? Or can u just blank it off in the inlet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jordan walker Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 you can remove the carbon canister but will need to put a 1 way valve on the pipe going to the fuel tank so it doesn't shot fumes all over your bay with the potential of starting a nasty fire. could ditch the power steering if you wanted I did away with mine looks a ton better with out it imo and I think it feels better too obviously not when your going slow i.e parking lol but when your giving it some you can feel everything suppose its personal prefferance on that one though. relocate the battery to the boot? that can be done fairly cheap.

amatthews45 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Yeah was thinking move battery to the boot no idea how but would be nice Carbon canister is to go. Was also thinking getting a braided line from fuel rail to fuel filter made up to make the bay look nicer. I seen lots of people can remove loads of loom for the AC in that area also there anh guides to what I can safely remove without messing things up to much Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ethanep82 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Could someone explain to me what a carbon canister is and does? Also where it is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 - Battery in the boot- Washer bottle in the boot- Hide injector wiring by turning the injector round in the fuel rail so that the plugs are facing down between the inlet runners and feed injector loom for each injector through the inlet runners- Get rid of carbon canister as above using a one way valve- relocate fuel filter to somewhere a bit more hidden- mount fpr near the drivers side strut tower to get rid of all that fuel line- Once you've relocated the fpr you could remove the tmic bracket that sits over the rocker cover- Get rid of those hardpipes that run over the timing cover and use vac hose hidden under the wing You can remove power steering if you want, but I personally think they are total dogs without it. looks miles neater without, but i would never do it to one of mine...

5e colin Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Could someone explain to me what a carbon canister is and does? Also where it is? its for when your smoking a fag you blow in the small nipple so emissions will be better :) it cleans feul vapours and is bolted next to the feul filter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Thanks for all the ideas guys. battery prob will go boot but nothing else. Gonna ditch the fpr compleatly its what killed the car when the last owner had it. The injector loom idea sounds great! Power steering going to stay its my first car so be much nicer for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
