March 1, 20197 yr Author comment_716486 Hi, and thanks for the bump... I have fitted half the red, replacing old factory rubber. Not got onto the tune-up quite yet..... 4A-F Edited March 1, 20197 yr by 4A-Foottotheboards Report
March 4, 20197 yr Author comment_716496 I found this informative Utube, specifically 4A-F focussed.. https://youtu.be/7B4cNeE6_ng The illustration of the 'hot water zone' within the phenolic spacer interests me - have 'old skool' tuners here experienced water gushing when a carb is taken off? Did anyone bypass/re route the water jacket? 4A-F Report
March 27, 20197 yr Author comment_716706 The rubber pipe linking the thin 'return' fuel pipe to the tank has perished. I had the garage replace it, well... don't fancy petrol running up my arm, as I lie under the car. £5 parts + £10 (cash in hand) to fit it 😉 £15 fix - I can live with that! 4A-F Edited March 27, 20197 yr by 4A-Foottotheboards Report
March 27, 20197 yr comment_716710 I can’t fault you there. It’s bloody awful having petrol dripping all over you. And running into the inevitably skinned knuckles Report
September 8, 20197 yr Author comment_719900 My local exhaust shop has had a 'mare with 'faulty' front downpipes.... 1st failed Y-welds.... 2nd snapped flexi.... 3rd is a good one BUT blowing like a loco at the manifold flange 😞 ..... Ah haaa! Actually, when the 3rd was fitted the guy warned me the threads on the studs are known for stripping out >> so he must not have leaned on them = failed to seal!! Depot manager agreed to swap out all three studs and refit the downpipe. "Great", says I 😉 TWO HOURS* with the Oxy torch it took to tease the oldies out & a retap to clean up the threads.... Free Of Charge YaY!! * ok, I'm dropping a tray of Budweiser in for him - I got a megga thirst just watching lol 4A-F Report
August 11, 20206 yr Author comment_724083 Not much been happening with the old girl.... I have looked for a 'factory' deck lid/bootlip spoiler since getting the car and they are RockyHorsePoo..... Finally snipped this at megga cheep 😉 I believe the Gen6 corolla has a similar bootlid, 4 doors, and wonder if the guys out there have taken something similar and done the mod? 4A-F Edited August 11, 20206 yr by 4A-Foottotheboards Report
