Im guessing that the plugs and wiring from the black box i cn just cut off and tape up to tidy it all up a bit more?

Also where cn i get a million n 1 cap offs n clipys plz.... turbos r guna be coming off tomoz, o n iv removed the 2 bolts each end of the sterin rack and turn the wheels but i cant disconnect the too to remove me doonypipe.. any tips lol

[arrouk]

NO! these cable will still have a feed to them by cutting them off you risk shorting something out and poss killing your ecu.

and try electrical whole sale for caps (cable caps for 6mm pipe or coaxial) , or use a short piece of pipe between 2 of the nipples, failing that a small bolt in the end of a short pipe. also i advise using some small cable ties to hold the pipes and caps on.

[arrouk]

Getting the fannymould off-.Make sure you have plenty of room under the car and a decent area to work on the car, do the job in a cramped garage and you\'re doomed to failure! A good bit of old carpet under the car is invaluable as you will spend some time under there.-If you can\'t find one then I\'m sure the missis won\'t mind you borrowing the one out of the front room!!
    The first important job is getting the steering link off. Take your time and use plenty of wd.The fannymould should come off reasonably easy after that. Crack the nuts with a long bar and socket, then go get a \'carolus\' rat **** spanner(bout a tenner), they are invaluable for a couple of the nuts as you can only turn them a click at a time, the others you need a good quality rat **** for the sockets,its not worth trying to do the job with crap tools, the cheaper rat ****s aren\'t fine enough. Here endeth todays sermon. Good luck( should I say here that you\'ll need it)!!!!! -thats awind up by the way, slow and steady and be methodical, there is nowt particularly difficult about any of it. If I have time I\'ll post some pics etc in the next couple of days. One last thing, I didn\'t do any welding apart from a couple of tacks to hold the threaded plugs I used( 1x 3/8bsp and 1x M14x2), virtually all the other vac take offs on the inlet manifold and bananas were drilled out and tapped with either M6 or M8 second tap 3/4 down and then blanked off with grubscrews and also locktited, much tidier and safer than sticking plastic plugs over the nipples. I also used the long take offs near the throttle body for the dump valves(which actually work properly now), super glue and tie wrap all vac pipes left.
