Alternator is on.
Need to finish my pikey de-resonator and make some fuel likes.

Mattap Bushtap would disagree
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Matt - 18-09-2012
f*ck sake.
Can't wait till I've refuted these lifters. And then it's back to just yours tapping ed
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Curt - 18-09-2012
Refuted? You prove them lifters wrong mate
hate it when they start making shit up
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Matt - 18-09-2012
f*cking iPhone piece of shit!!!!
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Dum-Dum - 19-09-2012
Lol why not go for solid lifters so your ready for epic cams. Ed likes his tapping cos it's the only way you can tell his car apart from Scott's
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Matt - 19-09-2012
Solid lifters?

Youre forgetting the chav-sized wheels.
Cant wait to see the results of your de-resonator-ing, should be.... interesting.
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Dum-Dum - 19-09-2012
Alternator is working and charging
New fuel lines are beefy and not leaking
Car Idles better cos I cleaned the ICV and its housing.
De Resonator sounds awesome, makes the upper end of the rev range sound more high pitched.
Pics soon
Also have a video of me trying to smash a bit of polycarbonate with a lump hammer and failing to crack it.
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - strictly_perv - 19-09-2012
Whats the process of de resonating it? Thinking of doing it to Eli's.
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Dum-Dum - 19-09-2012
The proper process is buying a resonator bung and sticking it in the hole.
The dum-dum process is banging a tube of chemical metal in there.
Its an inlet manifold off job but thats easy enough and only £3.50 for a new gasket from pug. The resonator itself is held in with 3 10mm bolts and you also have to remove the ICV to get at it.
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Dum-Dum - 19-09-2012
So the de-resonator
Alternator all fitted up with shiny new wires
And the new fuel lines. 8mm and 10mm. If anyone wants to do theirs I have enough line left to do 1 car. £5 posted?
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - C.A.R. - 19-09-2012
Whoa. That whole de-resonator thing; is it thermo-setting? The inlet can get quite warm, it's not gonna break down again is it?
Can't imagine that any of that going in a cylinder is going to be good...

yeah itll be fine mate, it says "sets hard as steel in 10 mins" and Ive used it before on loads of things. Its fine with heat but will catch fire with stupid heat but at that point the manifold will be melting too.
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - C.A.R. - 19-09-2012
Ah cool beans then.
Still got that metallic intake noise? Even standard 6's sound good on throttle...
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Dum-Dum - 19-09-2012
yeah but its better.
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Niall - 19-09-2012
I can confirm that that hard and fast is very good stuff. That is what i used to fix a hole in the block of my old 1.8 and it never once even showed signs of leaking!
Be careful with them fuel lines chris. I was sold "fuel line" and it turned out it wasnt. After a few weeks i was driving along and could smell petrol and no power. Opened the bonnet to find fuel pissing all over a baking hot engine. Took the hose off and i could snap it it was so brittle. that stuff looks like what i had! i got my new goodyear fuel hose from halfords and it was spot on
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Dum-Dum - 20-09-2012
Mine is from halfrauds too mate, it's stamped as for unleaded fuel. I will be keeping an eye on it though cos I dont entirely trust myself playing with the fuel system.
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Dum-Dum - 21-09-2012
So for those of you who dont believe how strong polycarbonate is
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Niall - 21-09-2012
Yeah my first bit was stamped for unleaded...it was heater hose which was really worrying!

Any excuse to get the hammer out Dum!
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - stevieg - 22-09-2012
the way you can tell fuel hose is its double the thickness of heater/rad hose
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - puglove - 22-09-2012
Loving to Deres chris
lol is there anything to be gained from it other than a epic bit of sound.

RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - puglove - 22-09-2012
That does seem very logical TBH, i suppose you wouldnt get the swirl effect of air, hmm interesting
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Dum-Dum - 29-09-2012
So I sprayed and fitted a new drivers door handle as i broke the original one and what a ball ache of a job that is, couldn't get the clip on the lever and eventually lost it in the bottom of the door, been running without it for a week and the rod aint fallen out yet so well see, if it does go im drilling a hole in the door to be able to fit the clip then just sticking a bung in it.
Got my sparco driver seat fitted today, the subframe is bolted together and then hit with the easyweld for good measure (heat the metal to 900 degrees with the blow torch then feed the rod in) so should be pretty strong. Its far more comfy than the DTurbo seats (supprisingly) and ive dropped myself about 50mm and maybe 20mm further back.
The whole lot (seat harness and subframe) only comes to 13kg so going well
Oh and as per usual the dog was helping
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - C2K - 30-09-2012
Sparco greyhound?
Swapping the door handle is a right pain, mine snapped on the HDi a few years ago when i was in the petrol station with the pass side against the pump... fail.
