Second car it's the only way to do it these days.... what does not help is mine looks a lot like your first one :cool:

It's a lot of work when you get into it.... you don't think it's going to be but things develop :freak3: :D

To degrease the engine bay I used P21S Total Auto Wash - P21S Car Care and Detailing Products I only did small areas at a time as I had never got a hose pipe out under the bonnet before, then I used 303 Aerospace Protectant - 303 Car Care and Detailing Products to treat is afterwards. The main things though were small wire brushes similar to a toothbrush to clean over all the areas I could get to when the degreaser was on that made a big difference.
As said a lot of the brackets have been removed and re-painted plus I sorted a lot of the loose wires etc.

Darc174 27 December 2008 02:32 PM

yeah i have aircon mate, my car is the same as yours :)

Silver Scooby Sport 27 December 2008 02:48 PM

I don't have air con and still look like I have the same 2 left over :lol1:

hiya
can i please ask where you got the blue samco induction hose from??
also are you mafless??

thanks
nick:thumb:

Silver Scooby Sport 27 December 2008 04:17 PM

Samco's available from all over these days.

Still running the standard ECU here so the MAF remains... the blue induction hose was not just for bling I wanted to improve the breathing all around when I had it mapped earlier this year, hence the top mount kit as well.
I've kept away from an induction kit as the 99/00 MAF is made from chocolate :D

simb 2 27 December 2008 04:27 PM

Looking really nice Si!!, wheres the pink sti cap then?

Not sure why you have some spare hoses, there are some at the bottom part of the engine, are they these?

Si

matscooby 27 December 2008 04:34 PM

It aint the bottom one as that has 3 bends on it, I've just found that out when I took the radiator out to do my cambelt.

Silver Scooby Sport 27 December 2008 04:36 PM

They are only small bore that's why I've left the keys in the pic for perspective :thumb:

Cap's here Si just wanted to make sure all was well after draining the system etc before fitting.

simb 2 27 December 2008 04:36 PM

If that's the same one as I am thinking of it's a lot smaller bore than these two left over.... that will be the straight one ?

I'm going to see Andy on tuesday I'll see if he know's, if he don't I'll use them as key fobs :lol1:
