Sounds like a plan! If i was to ask for pipes for a Rx7 gen3 would they know the lenghs i need and the sizes? an how much were they?

I think it was Â£60 delivered. I ordered something like 40\' of 4mm and 15\' of 6mm - I made sure I had some left over as spare hose is always useful

Great stuff so 4mm and 6mm is all that i need for this job? quite a daunting task but its going to be most enjoyable im sure :Laugh

Its a fudging awful job to be honest

I did the whole lot though and took my IM off to get to the really hard parts and I did the fuel lines at the same time.

So long as you take your time with it, remember to slit the old hoses and twist, do not pull, you should be ok

All sorted

Â£68 :Typing

Good man, have fun and be careful with it

edit: Also cover all holes up, I dropped a nut into my turbos and had to take the tubby pack off because of it, doH!
