  1. You can get a cone for that for a tenner from jtf if there's one near you they all do the same thing dont believe the hype about brands in my experience they tend to be a rip off the gj's mushroom being the worst.

    Get it on man will make a massive difference to the engine bay.

    just bought a cone filter for 9.99 off of ebay in red of course it should arrive in the next few days!

    also ordered a touch up paint set for stone chips and scrapes that ill be fixing up soon as well, will take pictures before and after to show the difference and to see how well i did :lol:

  2. There's a breather coming out the top of the rocker cover which if you look is connected to a metal pipe that goes 4 ways parallel to each other on is a joiner for water and the other is the breather remove it and just join water separately the remove the breather hose replace with you blue silicone that's about all I can help bud without doing it for you sorry.

    Ah that electric sensor is an air temp sensor you new pipe should have a hole to fit that I'm if not you'll have to drill a hole for it.

    ok yep i get you now :D i think :lol: thanks for your help! hopefully it will be on soon enough!

  3. Ok so the stock breather pipe is connected parallel with a water pipe remove the stock metal part and make a joiner to connect the two water pipe together don't restrict the flow with whatever you use I cut the stock pipe opened it out nice and big made a joiner from that took 5 mins, remove the stock breather replace with the blue silicone pipe you have and once stainless pipe in place it connects to that. Not sure what electrical stuff is there may be an air temp sensor when I had a sohc it was a 1.6 vtec have anything electrical around the stock intake pipe, is yours a 1.4 non vtec?

    If it is then you should have a hole to accommodate it on your piping if not better get drilling.

    Good luck with it shouldnt be hard at all in true Haynes spirit I'd give it a 2 spanner rating if that.

    ok thanks for that, what do you mean by a joiner? water pipe? im so stupid :? i get everything else i think and mine is a 1.4 non vtec, ill get some pics up to ask what i mean :roll:

  4. to fit the pipe on you would need to take the air filter box out and the rubber pipe that comes from your throttlebody.

    then affix the pipe which has one bend in it to the throttle body and the other pipe will fit the first pipe.

    the second pipe will feed down a hole left by the air filter box

    ill give it a go soon, when i get a cone filter for the pipe, thanks :)

    what about the little silicone pipe where does that go?

  5. coming along very nicely mate, all it really needs is the wheels to finish it off

    cheers :) ive actually got some ;) just needing some tyres then i might put them on

    just remember to get some wheel nut's as well, as the one's on the car have a coller on them to hold the wheel trim on ;)

    yep will do i have it all researched out! just waiting for the cash! haha :) think its worth getting some locking nuts aswell?

  6. Quick carbon the wood effect trim!!

    i would if i wasnt so scared of taking it off, it just doesnt want to come off without it feeling like its going to snap :o

    any help would be appreciated :)

    Buy the carbon effect trim off of a scraped vti :)

    just looked on ebay and found some carbon effect off of a mg zs for 35 quid and 8 quid postage is that a good deal?
