Yeah it did sound a bit like that, my bad.
Just checked again and it's for the 172 cat, so nevermind.
The other fitting kit seems expensive though for what you get, might see if i can re-use my old one for now.
I've got the Ktec solid engine mount/gearbox mounts on mine and to be honest it's not bad at all. It vibrates a little but nothing too bad. I don't know how much it vibrates on the standards though to compare. Mines a daily car pretty much, although i'm only a student ;)
I do get rattly...
Haha, no, i'm not made of money.
Just bought one off Gary Spooner for £45 posted. My mot's due a week today so wanted one ASAP, thanks for the offer though mate! I had bought one off Dan, but one of the ends needs welding which he didn't know about to be fair so just got another bought.
I also...
I'd looked at the proper clip's the other day actually but I'd read a fair few threads where people said jubilee clips were better. It'll get me through the MOT for now anyway, then I'll look at buying the proper clips/tool.
Anything beats the cable tie that was on before.
Just bought a pair...
Seems pointless having something on the car which is doing nothing especially when running the KTR. Would it have even been functional without the airbox?
It was more of a 'whilst I'm there' job as I had the wheel off anyway just checking over my suspension etc for any movement as I have an MOT...
Not any major difference really no but I'm yet to go for a proper drive.
All I did was remove the tube that went to it and disconnected the connector. Then put a bolt in the tube and tied them up. Simples.
New ABS rings/jubilee clip

I also removed my acoustic valve today as there's lots of mixed opinions, but the general consensus is that it's not needed.

Not worth the hassle then, may aswell do both. I'm tempted to do the above of one from euro, and one from renault, but is the quality the same? Don't want to have to do the job again for the sake of saving a tenner now. Is it a driveway on the back job, or need to be on ramps?
Just a small bump, but my NSR handbrake cable appears to have broken as I can still rotate the wheel with the handbrake on... Am I best off replacing both sides at the same time? Got the MOT coming up soon, so needs doing ASAP.
Still not 100% sure, but I had been thinking of anthracite engine cover, silver inlet, anthracite fuel rail. But I'm still not sure. I sometimes like the idea of going anthracite inlet, but then i don't know what i'd do with the engine cover without it looking shite.
Received my black KTR pipe today, and got it fitted onto the car. Not sure what I prefer now though, black or the blue? Will the tubes themselves just be identical to one another regardless of age? As I have no idea the age of the black one.
Opinions please?
