my rebuild thread

[karl_tate]

looks good and i know people do put them in the boot etc but the only place i would put another pump and a swirl pot is under the car. if you get the car in the air and have a look next to where the fuel filter is mounted, on the passengers side, there is a charcoal canister. great place to mount but its just there is little room to work.

btw where did you get the carpet from, looks cool.

[leeincivic]

yeah i have seen a few there, dont reworx make a tank to sit under ther??? whats the purpose of the charcoal canister anyways??

yeah the only reason i am going for the boot is for ease and also i am going to get another pump now too so would be harder to stash 2 pumps! haha

the carpet is good old halfrauds acoustic cloth, dont make the mistake i did and buy just their black cloth coz when i got home i realised it was different to the acoustic stuff i covered around the battery in, plus its fluffy haha

[ENVYD]

makes me hope mine is fooked so i can build one just like it!

[MaLicE]

mate i would look at polishing bits you\'re self! i have given it a go £30 on a bench grinder and £50 on a polishing mop kit plus a bit of time! hell of alot cheaper than paying someone else to do it lol!

[leeincivic]

yeah i tried a while ago on my uim but gave up, suppose if i have got the tools its much easier coz i only had the mops for in the drill so took forever, plus its smoothin all the casting marks off that would do my head in, where did you get your polishing stuff from mate?

[Ada7]

Hey Lee. I was over at Era\'s the other day talking about the work he\'s doing to my engine and i saw yours on his bench. He really did some nice work to your ports
Gonna be a lot of fun when you get it all up and running again. Brap Brap

[Ada7]

I\'m losing the twins and have got a T04R so Era is doing me a \'decent\' sized street port to match it :p
Wish i had your skill to tidy up my engine bay like that. Might have to have a go with the loom though. Electrical scares me :rollin
