Cleaned up all my inlet manifold and masked off the grey air intake sensor but didn't remove it.
Painted them up and I've looked down through the inlet with a torch and can see some paint has tracked down onto it...
Does it need replacing? I can remove it and try cleaning it but would this be...
I shoved it in the bath when the Mrs was out and coated it in degreaser then rinsed it all off.
Used nylon brushes and brake cleaner to get into the tight areas but it came out clean quite easily.
I got some halfords etch primer as a base so it could grip better too.
Nice one.
I've just ordered a big set of green ones as I measured it to be 6.8 x 2 (ish). Are both the black and green the same? Weird they'd fit 2 different coloured ones
Yeah it's that anthracite wheel paint from Halfords that i told you about at csf. Proper happy with it. Only used just over a can of the stuff for all 3 parts!
Removed all the inlet manifold, throttle body and fuel rail guard for painting.
Removed the map sensor but managed to damage part of the green o-ring. Anyone know the size to replace it?
Also used the opportunity to clean up all the inside of the throttle body as it had been nearly 2 years...
Literally just removed mine. Presume it's the rubber one with the crimped hose?
Just put a screwdriver against the end of it and pull it. Should slide off
Not too much has happened recently. Drove a 500 mile round trip for work last week and it didn't miss a beat, got 44mpg for the journey too! Was helped by the endless 30mph and 50mph average speed camera zones...
Gave it a wash, finished with black hole and then 2 coats of natty wax. Love how...
It's completely different to your little scenario. Hondas run these standard, the only thing they must have is a stronger inline amplifier. I get a few channels full strength at home, but if i drive elsewhere I lose the channels and cannot find them.
Thanks for your help with my question though.
Looking at buying one of those cheap eBay signal boosters that goes between aerial and radio. Are they any good?
My signal is crap and looking to improve it!
If there's one someone can recommend please link me up
I've gone for the ring d2s 5500k that Craig was selling. Can't wait to fit them! Need to sort out my headlight alignment, can you DIY it or is it better going to a garage?
Are you unable to do it yourself? Pads and discs are easy. You just need a ratchet, sockets, torque wrench, copper slip.
For bleeding of the brakes get yourself an eezibleed.
My headlights are terrible. They're all polished up so it's not the yellowing that's the issue. Believe it currently has the standard osram bulbs but they just don't seem good at all?
Doesn't help the headlight alignment is out but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for some...
