dr_broon Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 heh heh..aye, it's just a bit of cardy-carpety stuff that just sits under the glove box in the passenger foot well... tbh doesn't make much difference apart from the fan's a bit quieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottravenhill Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 weird, a guy i work with said that there was soundproofing missing when he drove it, as he used to work on a lot of rovers before he gave up the garage work and moved into the office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 could be other soundproofing on the rovers I suppose.... after all, they are an executive brand no idea why that particular bit isn't on the civics though... seems odd.

dr_broon Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 right.. engine bay. this morning: then, one steam clean (and some kind of chemical treatment) later: this cleaned loads of crud off various places... gearbox and intake mani seem to have came up the best, but it left a load of residue all over the place... so some scrubbing and cleaning later... .. and a couple of hours under the bonnet with my old friends autosol, silicon spray and sponge scourers: pretty pleased with the results.. especially sprucing up the hoses with silicon spray (onto a rag and the wiped on)... saved getting some new ones - have to see how long it lasts. 1"£££$££"!!

dr_broon Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 FINALLY got round to getting that goddamn arb fitted - thing's been burning a hole in my shed for months.. .. and what a difference it makes! even just driving miss daisy speeds you csn feel the front end feels so much more direct. I wasn't expecting such a difference.also, picked up my spoon resevoir covers from the post office today.AND one last visit to that rover 45. needed a bulb holder for the light wash button to finish the red effect switches, so that's done - still waiting for more red leds for the controls and dash.also finally booked in to get my spacers fitted to lift my nose up a bit, so wanted to get a new arch liner to replace the shredded one on the passenger side, but the one on the 45 seemed different. anyway, noticed that there was soundproofing for the driver side too (your mate was right scott) so had that too.a good day all in all 1"£££$££"!!
