thanks anyway bud, who else has photoshop, only got until sunday night to make my mind up.

Roof bars will polish up eith a mop.going to keep it how it is on this car.though will proberly go up for sale when ive got her finished 100 percent.buy end of year maybe .no rush just fancied having a go in a realy tidy wide arse shorty.but thats another time thread .just wandered what it would look like if i got the hole front valance orange then i would paint the fmic black.just wandered as my paint man asked me.

I know i bought it from new and it did sit around the house for years in that box with its funny shaped polistiren stuff.never mind a.

ill try to find a link to mine, cas if you buy the intercooler on its own yourll spend that again on the pipework.

Funki Si do you remember when you did this? changed my bonnet from satin black to orange! well can you change the whole front end orange buy that i mean the front valence were it is black also? cas im going to paint the bonnet orange now cas i agree with so many of you and including my misses it didnt look finished, and i have the oppertunity to paint the whole front orange and laters might paint the intercooler black insted. what do you all think? from this. . then Funki Si did this. . and would like to see this all in orange Si, . cheers guys. thanks Si

theres me the last couple days slowly stripping me car down again to have her repainted again as i wasnt 100 percent happy and want to change a cuple of things when my nice clean sharp looking bit of exspensive black perspex strip that once looked like this. to this in a snap of a secound ouch that just cost me about a tonne i recon, rubish. needs to say that the air was blue just when one of my partners friends pulls onto the drive. put tools down until tomorow now cas dont want to break out else. toms another day hey ho .

What did you use then?

I could meet this weekend even though im stripping here ready for paint shop on monday, but i will be driving to the paintshop and finish the strip there so just about still mobil until monday then cars of the rd until april

Thanks m8

here we are the dirty connectors that were very loose and dirty. and heres the plug now nice and clean. now all back together and had a quick run up the road, It was like driving a different car, almost like i gained a cylinder and quite possiblly have. felt so much crisper quicker and not lumpey and no smell of fuel, . cheers guys.

carbon canister link, cant find the link, dose anyone know please

IVE taken out the fuel fuse taken of the battery just incase i manage to short a wire out . dont want any sparks, undid the petrol cap to releave a bit of pressure and left it overnight so here i go.

mines agreed at 6 large but prob spent 12 large getting it there and the 6 i paid 12 years ago

Ive had some free shocks donated to me and i covered the post thats the least you can do, i love this place, the help and the bantter. big up everyone on here.

heres the culprit. . and you can see which one it is, its diff to get to prop. And you can see the other leads under that silicon stuff that are not home properly. thus lumpy running sometimes.

Right i had a good look around with a cold car not used today and turned on the ignition to get the fuel pressure thats norm there when im of up the road. coulnt find anything, but still stunk of fuel so carefully folowed the smell to the throttle cover. took it of and right up the back umoung all the little fule pipes one of was almost not done up at all and was compleatly wet with fuel around that area. right near the back injector treis to tighten up but really need to take of the balence pipe and move out of the way, whilst there i had a good look around and found that were the fuel has dampend the area around first injector plug and were there is some sealant still there the plugs are relatively loose and have green on the tiny plugs that are bearly on the top of the injector. so rather than bodge it iv decided ill take of the balance bar tomorow clean up that area and those little injector wire plugs reseal with sealant and retight up and check all those surrounding plugs. This then should stop the smell of petrol and make her run sweater when cold espeaslly when and somtimes a tad lumpy. that should also possibly save a bit of fuel especially with a cylinder not working 100 percent all the time. i recon if i was to take out that plug it would be very wet. hope this fixes all then tiny gremlins, thanks for your advice guys and pics to follow.

thanks for your input on this one Jeff as its been very helpful and although not finished the job because of childrens school run ect ive found the pfrob i think , thanks to your advice.

cheers will take throttle cover off and have a look and check else were also want to do carbon canister deleate, cant find one. anyone got a link please the sun is out and i want to do somthing constructive today?

if you mean that black tin size thing in the front of car nearside near under the lights then now but the lid dont fit tight anymore can i just take of and close the pipe work that gose to that?

Why is it that sometimes more often than not its when my cars first being used/ it stinks of petrol? i now its yet to be set up cas ive put a hudge fmic on her but it was straped up to a consult i beleave/ hope , and everything is as it should be , like revs, most of the time apart from the first mile when at the fisrt junction the revs bounce a little around the 6k to the 7.5 k but thats when could and ive just got to the first junction, after witch the revs sit were they should do. the heater comes on within the fisrt mile and the temp is were it should be before i get to the secound mile. but in any time after in the day i can smell a strong smell of petol and even have strangers comming to me when ive poped into a shop, saying sorry mate can you smell petrol. there is no leakes as far as i can tell, and apart from the drinking to much petrol of witch i put down to me putting the fmic on and not being over to Noels place yet. Am i overlooking somthing? is something need replacing? or is it just because i need a remap? oh it also has a very large k a N air filter straped to the maff as well? thanks guys/ girls.

get rid of vents and put a flip number plate on sorted
