4A-Foottotheboards Posted March 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) 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, 2019 by 4A-Foottotheboards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4A-Foottotheboards Posted March 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4A-Foottotheboards Posted March 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) 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, 2019 by 4A-Foottotheboards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrot Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I can’t fault you there. It’s bloody awful having petrol dripping all over you. And running into the inevitably skinned knuckles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4A-Foottotheboards Posted September 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4A-Foottotheboards Posted August 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) 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, 2020 by 4A-Foottotheboards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
