Finding out if you have a RS stamped inlet mani..(pic inside)

[_Tom]

Afternoon,

I was tempted to have a look last night but can someone just confirm to me that i just need to undo the bolts that the red arrows point too?

I think they're 10mm nuts from memory but they were done up to FT. I dont want to try and undo them with too much might but if its def just them i'll get some WD down in there for a few days to try and loosen them a little.

 

[Djw John]

Yup but theres only 2 of them!

 

[Rhys Beal]

There is only 2 bolts. The arrow on the right points to nothing iirc

 

[Dan519]

2 nuts (not bolts)

 

[Djw John]

He got it right 2nd time round Danny

Alright, nuts, bolts..whatever..haha! To be honest i only tried the furthest left and middle which are the two im guessing. Should they be silly tight? It worries me a bit that something might break they're that tight.

They need to be tight or they will come undome due to the vibration from the engine, if your worried just leave the fuel rail guard off its not needed anyway

What's it there for then?,you go into the back of somebody,what gets it first.

Bumper and radiator first, but yeah it does protect the fuel rail your correct, i was just saying that its not always needed as lots of people leave it off

 

[Tony Hunter]

Cos it's cool.

Maybe thats the answer imo it looks better with it on

 

[_Tom]

Well I took it off to find this -

So am I right in thinking there's not much point in matched inlets?

 

[Dan519]

They can be bettered, they're just not as terrible as earlier ones

 

[_Tom]

Sounds a little like a waste of money then..haha

 

[Jimb0]

Excuse my ignorance, but where is the stamp?

Am I likely to have this stamp on mine? It's a 2005 trophy.

probably mate, can you not just get a mirror ?

 

[Jimb0]

I'll take a look tomorrow, in the day light.

Look just above the loom on the lower inlet and you can see it.
