Looks fanatastic mate! Who did the work?

Jimmy, this is what the guide i used said "IMPORTANT NOTE: On the driver’s side, be sure to run a 3-foot length of 6mm vacuum hose from the carbon canister to balance tube. When eliminating the plenum metal tubing, the mentioned vacuum tubing has also been eliminated. On the original configuration, the hose runs from the carbon canister to a vacuum tube found underneath the driver’s side throttle body as shown in the next picture. The parts outlined in red are the parts eliminated. The green line shows the original hose, whereas the red line shows the new path. The upper end of the new hose attaches to the rear of the balance tube."

About 2 hours, alot of the water hoses underneath the plenum were extremely stiff which made manouvering it to get to where i could undo them was hard work and fiddly. took about 1 and a half to put it back on

ive not decided what to do with that yet. not sure if i want it polished or not. May consider black chroming it.....

im guessing i no longer have that connecting pipe since i ripped all the gubbins out the bottom of the plenum. Makes sense, just re read the TB water bypass guide and it says i have to re plumb the cannister vacuum hosing Cheers guys

If Rossi and Stoner have the same sort of races that Rossi and Gibernau had, but with a bit more respect for each other, id be well happy!

Cheers to all that came, was a really nice day. Shame we kept hitting slow traffic on some of the nice roads, but thats just one of those things i suppose. Cheers to Andy for being a Petrol Snob :D Marco's mustang is a stunner in the flesh, jodies convinced she wants one now ;) Nice to meet you 300_zedx, sorry about the traffic and you didnt get to spend much time in Hayling, unfortunatly we'd already been there 2 hours. Round of applause to Steve Burns for taking the Biggest "I missed the turning" detour of the day :D :D :D Unfortunatly i didnt get any pics, i think the amount of times ive dropped my phone has finally taken its toll and it stopped working in Hayling. Thanks again to everyone for showing up for another SC Meet Nick

Awesome race, infact id say that was the best race weve had since the 800cc's came in. Vale is by far the GOAT. Touch dissappointed in caseys lack of sportsmanship in the paddock tho!

AH HA! i knew you might pipe up! I never said WHO had fitted them, and WE fitted them thank you ;)

ive notice that already, bonnet wont shut! Going to rotate the whole pipe round a little bit and it should be ok. Cheers for the advice tho bud

Guys, Can you remind me what goes onto this pipe off the balance bar, i cant find any loose pipes anywhere, looks like some sort of vacuum hose should go onto it, but im lost to know where it comes from?!?:confused: Anyone got any ideas on where i could find where the hose comes from Cheers

Still got to put a few other bits and bobs on, but im pretty happy so far

Sorry to hear that bud, always liked your car as well!

Check out Newera imports mate, theyre doing some cracking deals on new Volk and Work wheels. Im probably going to get my Work CR's from them. Good on you for kick starting the project again mate

I hope Camberley Auto Factors has some in stock

Guys and Gals, I need to get some water hosing to complete the throttle body water bypass, but im struggling to find anyone who sells it. Can anyone point in me in the direction of a company that ill be able to get some from at short notice Cheers Nick

Well unfortuatly for me, the zed isnt going to be ready for this meet :(, so ill be in a bmw 3 series convertable See you all sunday :D

Final Bump

how did i know that was coming! :D

Got a nice delivery from the nice people of FedEx yesterday :D Alot of obvious bits, but the smaller bits in there are a Braided clutch line, new clutch bearing, pivot ball, pilot bushing, Rad mounts and 02 sensors Hard pipes with BOV mounts HKS SSQV Bovs Z1 Steel Flywheel (only weighs 10.7lbs!) RPS Street Max Clutch AMS Rad Divorced Downpipes and De-cats Also got a load of gaskets,PCV pipes etc for the plenum (which is now polished) and a few other bits and bobs, And its all got to be fitted by Sunday :nelson:

I normally use my orbital polisher with megs #80 medium grade swirl removal and #83 polish, but for a quick shine i use Meguiars 3 stage paint clean polish and carnuba wax with my polisher. Cost £21 quid for the 3 bottles and gives this sort of result

take care fella :duffer:
