Looks very nice mate... really makes me miss mine...

 

I've got 2 bits left as well but I don't think both match yours I'll take a pic tomorrow maybe you can tell me have you got air con ? I was wondering if maybe one had something to do with that.

Cheers Danny getting there quitely.... we found I have a slight leak under the drivers side rocker cover gasket so that's the next job... proper maintainance for a change


Second car it's the only way to do it these days.... what does not help is mine looks a lot like your first one

 

Looking nice mate , when are you coming round to do mine then

 

Ooooohhh now thats Blinga Bling....Very nice indeed. A list of cleaning agents used in this process would be nice too.

 

Looks fantastic, really wish mine was like that, please do tell us which cleaning products you used.

 

Nice cleanup dude, ive done the same to mine so i know how much time and patience it takes

Mine from this:


To this:

 

It's a lot of work when you get into it.... you don't think it's going to be but things develop

To degrease the engine bay I used P21S Total Auto Wash - P21S Car Care and Detailing Products I only did small areas at a time as I had never got a hose pipe out under the bonnet before, then I used 303 Aerospace Protectant - 303 Car Care and Detailing Products to treat is afterwards. The main things though were small wire brushes similar to a toothbrush to clean over all the areas I could get to when the degreaser was on that made a big difference.
As said a lot of the brackets have been removed and re-painted plus I sorted a lot of the loose wires etc.

 

yeah i have aircon mate, my car is the same as yours

 

I don't have air con and still look like I have the same 2 left over

Snap...

 

hahahaa

 

Now come on I can't do it all on my own here

 

hehe im popping round my mates in a min and we are gonna have a look under the bonnect together to try and spot them, i have heard the curly one goes under the header tank but it looks the wrong shape to me

 

I've got one fitted under there from the kit you can just make it out on this picture....

 

hiya
can i please ask where you got the blue samco induction hose from??
also are you mafless??

thanks
nick

 

Samco's available from all over these days.

Still running the standard ECU here so the MAF remains... the blue induction hose was not just for bling I wanted to improve the breathing all around when I had it mapped earlier this year, hence the top mount kit as well.
I've kept away from an induction kit as the 99/00 MAF is made from chocolate

 

Looking really nice Si!!, wheres the pink sti cap then?

Not sure why you have some spare hoses, there are some at the bottom part of the engine, are they these?

Si

 

It aint the bottom one as that has 3 bends on it, I've just found that out when I took the radiator out to do my cambelt.

 

They are only small bore that's why I've left the keys in the pic for perspective

Cap's here Si just wanted to make sure all was well after draining the system etc before fitting.

 

Theres one under the inlet manifold which is hard to see?

 

If that's the same one as I am thinking of it's a lot smaller bore than these two left over.... that will be the straight one ?

I'm going to see Andy on tuesday I'll see if he know's, if he don't I'll use them as key fobs

 

I will have to have a look see under mine, got the full set on there so yours must go somewhere

 

I'll bring my spare pipes down for you to identify then it's your fault I'm in this mess in the first place

 

Not guilty!!

 

Loving those RCM pulleys....I want I want I want

 

You are even Chuck agree's with me

 

 

Guys, where did you get the full bay kits from ? all I can find at the moment is for the radiator kits.

 

Mine was from API

 

Looking good mate

Got the PS issue sorted yet???

 

ok here goes

just been my mates and look on his (My97 Type R)

i have found a picture and pointed out the two hoses, on our engines they are behind somewhere not on the top,

heres a pic anyway
