If I recall correctly the bike ones where made by a company called flip top, I looked long and hard for one years ago but couldn\'t find one do I decided to make my own but couldn\'t work out a simple mechanism to make the plate fold

I run 16:1 in all cruise areas, no problems and I actually get half decent fuel economy doing a steady 80 on the motorway

cool, what kind of spec is your car?? i dont think i have seen pics of it??

always a fun day though if your running and its not 250 odd miles from home.

oh by the way matt\'s email address is arrouk@ntlworld.com i dont think he gets on here too often, hope you dont mind me posting your address bud :p

street ported motor
non sequential stock twins
v mount
all unecessary stuff removed out of intake (and engine bay come to think of it)
Fully open exhaust
power fc
550/1600 injectors
walbro fuel pump

Thanks for matts email addy

Oh yes , I\'ll be there next time (missis permitting) , had a good day , good weather , good company and one good (ish) run

Karl , I was running , not my best day but managed a 13.4 which I was sort of happy with considering it was virtually un-preped (12.8 was my previous best on a 1/4 mile of superglue at pod ) , I actually managed to come 11th on the day

Matt , can you let me have your email so I can email that stuff over

Chris(D2BBA) which way are you coming down ?

Think we are the furthest north so if you let me know which way your coming I\'ll meet up around the Darlo area with you , you can get me on 07789792629

Cheers

Yeah all sorted mate

As long as someone reminds me I\'m there , cleared it with the missis so thats all cool

if someone can remind me ( my memory is shot these days ) I may well come down , I may even run seeing as I had such a bad time at RS , need to get some decent times this year

ah I see , you left the charcoal canister in and just got rid of the underbonnet stuff like I was thinking , take it you didn\'t add a filter to the end of the hose

well thats the only reason I could think off but surely if the car is sat for a long period without being started it would have the same effect as there being no vent

cool , so in theory I could just pop a small filter on the end of the metal hose in the engine bay and rip the rest out ( blocking the nipple on the UIM obviously )

Just out of curiousity what would happen if you plugged the pipe instead of venting it

Did you block the pipe to the charcoal canister off or did you just vent it to atsomphere

I\'m leaning towards ripping it out at the mo but am not sure whether to block the pipe or vent it ?

If I do decide to get rid I probably won\'t rip all of it out at the mo , I\'d probably just rip out the under bonnet stuff for now

Hiya guys ,

I had my UIM off today and noticed that the pipe running from the oil trap to the purge control is split all around the end of the oil trap , this has been caused because the hose i used didn\'t really fit over the end of the oil trap , had to really heat it up to get it on , if I just replace it its going to happen again and if i use a bigger hose it probably wont seal on the purge valve properly so the question is should I just remove the whole darn lot

What are the pros and cons of removing it

Cheers

Paul
