Bumper OFF Jobs

steve-45 · 30th June 2016, 19:54

Just reading through the list of jobs to do when you take the front bumper off, most I understand - but what is the DIESEL INTAKE MOD ???

Anyone point me to a "how to" link .......

I think it refers to cutting a section out if the air intake housing.
May have been flavour of the month at one point, but now discouraged, if I'm not mistaken.

That reminds me....as I've recently discovered, previous owner did a "half-way house" mod by drilling some holes in the air intake, as well as some other butchery in that general area. (Not the full blown air intake mod mind you).
Need to get meself a new air intake

If a Project Drive car then the Dual horn conversion.
If CDT then Viton O rings
Polish headlights
Raise slam panel and crash bar to reduce panel gap under bonnet

- O rings as they are highly likely to fail
- check your fans are working (good resistor mod)
- polish head lights or swap lights for xenons, projectors etc

Heres what I intend to do

Twin Horns
"O" rings
Gold resistor
re-fix loose temperature sensor
Fix club badge to grill
Cover sharp edges where loom rests
Cover the sir-con pipe where it rubs the power steering pipe.

Hopefully that's the lot - headlamps (projectors) are still crystal clear and bumper gap does not worry me at the moment.

Steve all these will get covered in about 14 days time so no worries there, I am sure we can find some others at the same time
