danthecapriman Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Normally Iâd say chrome, and if the car was a darker colour Iâd say chrome. But, the red looks good on this so Iâll go with red! Almost a GTI look! Cord Fourteener and Sidclark96 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorRetro Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Well, I'm going to do it with red tape all round and take some pictures before I decide on a permanent solution.  loserone, Cord Fourteener and danthecapriman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I hate water leaks. My passenger football is decidedly moist and I haven't worked out how it's getting in. Pissing rain is not ideal weather for diagnosing it either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorRetro Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 Question. Where in this engine bay would be best to put the 'sports' air filter for the most cold air? Down near the front bumper I presume? I realise where it is now is probably terrible.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookiesouwest Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Yep, as far from the block as you can get it, or put a shield between block and filter and rig a cold air feed, if you have room DoctorRetro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cord Fourteener Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 When you tubers have scienced cold air intakes and cone/pod filters they find their is no noticeable gain in power, or none that shows more of a change than error in the results. Certainly not noticeable. Put your intake wherever you like and enjoy the sound. The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cord Fourteener Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I have to say, your engines look immaculate, don't know if that's the camera doing the tidying or whether you clean and polish under the bonnet... DoctorRetro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down near the front bumper is a good idea - but just make sure you don't go through any big puddles.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that diesels don't like the air too warm. 40 minutes ago, Tim_E said: I have to say, your engines look immaculate, don't know if that's the camera doing the tidying or whether you clean and polish under the bonnet... I clean then as much as possible and wipe over with bumper gel. I find a clean engine easier to work on. spartacus and Cord Fourteener 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
