Your going to be suprised when you start this Chris.... the amount that can be swapped over is quite an eye opener I have quite a collection of old one's now, as said there are a few to stay away from.... I would suggest having a talk with your mechanic first he will point out the one's to avoid.

It's to late to edit now as well as well :thumb:

I'll have to do a short vid of it running.... it sounds great not to loud and certainly not silent it's a good compromise.

Money no object I think I would go for the 3" HKS HyperSilent my mates got one on his Type-r and I have to admit I'm impressed.

Looks really good and clean. Well done. My next scoob I am going to follow in your foot steps with the engine bay, but a twist on it.

trails 26 December 2008 01:22 PM

Well the thought had crossed my mind but I'm going to leave it for now, as it is a uk engine a red top is out of the question but it would look good it has to be said and I'm not sure if another colour would work in my eyes.

I do have a small problem though if anyone can shed some light on it for me I would really appreciate it...

Deffo agree on the redtop...not sure on the PS issue though, can you offer both up and see if there is any difference?

Silver Scooby Sport 26 December 2008 05:12 PM

Bufty indeed :thumb: :D

Lee the OEM one is staying but if a top condition standard came my way for refurb it may be worth looking into but for what I use the car for etc I'm not going down the FMIC route as it's far to expensive for what return I would get.

I've had to send my original off but I do have another pump with one on here so that could be an option... I had not even considered there may be a difference, still don't know and I'm not sure that simply the tank would effect it either :freak3: as you can see I'm confused :lol1: but when we do find the problem rest assured I'll post it in case it helps anyone else along the way.

its probably worth posting on 22b Si...lots of help for left-field stuff like this there.

Silver Scooby Sport 26 December 2008 07:04 PM

Top idea doing that as we speak.
