    Question about Powder Coating

    I have a set of Pauls headers and firstly had them painted black with heat resistant paint, then I wrapped them in fibreglass. When I had a small modification done by Paul I had them sent away and HPC'ed (High Performance Coatings), had the outside done in black and a heat proof inner ceramic...

    Water Pump Weep Hole Leak

    That looks like a fairly standard pump mechanical seal with a carbon seal on a ceramic face. The cramc piece usually sits in a rubber seat glued to the pump casing, but in this case they appear to have epoxied it. The other half has the carbon seal that runs on the ceramic face. from the...

    Sell me on an exhaust

    OK your engine warning light. To really figure out what this is you really need to hook it up to Tune ECU so you can see which fault it is. It could be that the secondary TPS is out of whack and really isn't a problem worth worrying about. Once you know what the fault is its much easier to...

    Sell me on an exhaust

    My 10c As everyone has said get rid of all the plastic duscting under the tank, it makes other servicing like balancing throttle bodies so much easier. The space under the seat where air cleaner was makes a great storage area. This is worth it on its own. Air intake, K&N or Ramair but the...

    Hand Guards

    This looks like the answer your looking for @Boog . Longer screws only so they are set up for M5 I would say. I only needed to mount the other side due to mine being jimmied up as they were for another bike. If I had the correct ones I would not have worried. Try the ones in the link I posted.

    Hand Guards

    I think so, they were the ones I SHOULD have ordered, as I didn't get these I couldn't promise, but I'm worried based on @Joesmoe reminder. If its any help auto shops usually sell real cheap tap sets, that, a vice and a crescent and you should be away if they are incorrect thread. I have a...

    Exhaust mods for 2.5L

    I wondered this too but I'm guessing this may not be possible now due to the increasingly tight emission laws and the manufacturer's complying more rigorously to the letter of the law. I suspect all the injector plugs will have been changed where the PCV interrupts the injector pulse. Also to...

    Hand Guards

    Oddly I find your hands still get wet in the rain and they look like they shouldn't but it removes the windchill and I tend to use my summer gloves in all seasons as they have better feel. Mine were for a Tiger also, all i did was some bending and got longer cap screws. I leave the cable ties...

    Silver engine cleaning

    My 05's like this the rest of the engine looks good, think this is why motors should be black. If you find something I'm interested but pretty sure its baked on I have tried a lot of chemicals on it myself.

    New Vs Old

    My wifes car (Golf GTI40 "Clubsport") has launch control but you have to go through a series of switches/trickery to get it to work, first is disabling the Traction Control, left foot on brake then engage sport mode, gas pedal to over 3200rpm then drop the brake when ready, it overboosts the...

    Found some pics from our visit, now I look at the pictures the risks are fairly obvious. And the videos are terrifying.

    New Zealand volcano erupts

    Felt profoundly sad for the people that were injured and died and their families, bad way to go (not that there's a good way). Went to see the 1996 eruption and even the ash after landing on you and mixing with sweat burns your skin. We have visited White Island before and can confirm its one...

    Rear Tire Keeps Deflating!

    Friends tyre wasnt seated on rim corr3 and it only took hours to go flat. Personally i'd get the valve stem replaced. Also try some leak detection fluid or spray around suspect areas that will show it up. I'm betting on the valve or valve stem being the culprit.
