could o been a plug for some kind of gauge ...also white looks like it be a **** to keep clean :O:O:O

:lol: funny you should say that when i was fitting it the pipes looked brown buy the time i was finished thats why im thinking maybe black now the reason i done white is that i have white wheels maybe bad idea

Its an air temp sensor, id guess that the previous owner was running a maffless ecu.

Plug could be used for inlet temp.

Hahahahah. I took to long to reply!

looks the mutts though stand oot if it wis black ud no see as much and wen u open bonnet ya wanna be seein it that why silver stickes oot and looks shiny,but if u could keep white clean i`d leave as is neva seen coloured fmic pipes afore;)

i also done the strut brace to match i just wanted to be diffrent

sweet

O i surpose if i ever want to run a maffless ecu then i already have a temp sensor for it

Tommy - im liking the Painted pipes pal! :luvlove:

I see this a couple of weeks back on somebody's Nissan and it was done really well.

Ive got my engine out and painting bits allover ATM. What paint/primer did you use? Aerosol or brush Paint?

Tucker

hi mate i used aerosol but you have to make sure u sand pipes propley cause when you have painted any little marks show also what colour you going for also what else you painting?

Will be doing other little bits, but really wanted to paint the pipes too. I was thinking powder coated but not sure on cost. What primer did you use mate? Im thinking silver/anthracite just to tidy it up. Dont want too many colours going on. My pipes are a bit of a state too!

Tucker this will make you laugh but its true they sell primer in pound land thats what i used it is alright did the job fine:luxhello: also your inlet looks like a good finish

:lol1: okay mate - nice one. Think I might test a part and see how it goes :thumb:

I was happy with the inlet - just not too sure on the shade of red, but Im hugely colourblind :freak3:

lol i bought my paint for inlet from halfords and i wasnt happy if you look its gone more orange than red:mad:
