Lukey. 381 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I wonder if could be because ive removed the carbon canister ?Still left the valve plugged in though.as long as you plugged the pipe coming from the valve it wouldnt make any difference Link to post Share on other sites

Ive completely removed it inc the pipework. All I've left was the valve connected to the loom. I'll put the pipe work back on and plug it. Link to post Share on other sites

Andi 0 Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 So in an Attemp to raise the height of the air filer to prevent it sucking up a puddle ive created this.And fitted:Its a bit tight in there and is squashed in with the bumper. So im planning using a 45degree alloy joiner and a silicone coupler. Hopefully to raise it up into the space above where its sitting now. Link to post Share on other sites

Biggazvr6 0 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 What's the reason for selling such a lovely example after you seem to have cracked all these teething problems. Seems a shame but glwts. Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 0 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 No reason really.I've always wanted one but my sensible head tells me to sell. Athough if it doesn't sell by the end of Jan I'm going to carry on with the project. Link to post Share on other sites

rodney 17 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Wish I had read this earlier... the flower pot with vents to the rear was the way to stop the rain/water issues... ... How did your mod work? Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 0 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 The mod i did was a waste of money. So i reverted back to the flowerpot. I cut a inch off the plastic intake pipe (still keeping a rib, to prevent the pipe from slipping off) and turned the holes to the outside. Link to post Share on other sites

Andi 0 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 So today was the fitting of engine mounts. Unfortunately I've been given competition mounts. So the ride is is a bit harsh. Hopefully they will sofen up as I can't be arsed changing them again.I bought a couple hockey pucks to raise the engine but the vibratechnics front mount has a nut rather than a bolt so i can't fit a hockey puck.Next month, New software.
