i work just up the road from this place might swing by after work sometime.

cheers

Sorry I did't turn up didn't realise it was going to be that late. Just finishing at the gym at that time. Will definantely have to drop by 1 day & check out what you guys have though;

Yes but we are talking silicon. :(

I've always used rubber in the past but had a small issue with it cracking over time. it turns out the grommet stuff is crapo. I last grabbed usual rubber stuff from motor mates and i've had no issues since.

I'm conservative with my car. Bright poofy colours are not for me. :happy:

IF I could find some nice black silicon vac hose I would spend the extra and be done with it. I've owned the car for 5+ years now so I've most likely seen the problems of heat + rubber vac hose more so than some others. BUT it does come down to its quality as I said.. Grommet is just crap.

I like blue... so sue me. but my rocker covers are gonna be farkin red as. i guess i just want it looking kinda newish buy not stokish. i realise if the cops pull me over and look under the hood theyll get me to regency on suspect of having mods so i might aswell do it so i get a bit of "what the f**k" expresiion out of them too and try and tape the event.

just to get sent to regency..+ the cost of removing parts/ refitting...then getting farked over when they see u taping it? :unsure:

Its not so bad paul.

Providing its not dumped on its arse with powerfc h/c's sitting in the cabin, pillar guages, plenums and high mount turbo's they usually cannot pick that a modification has been done.

A little bit of prettyness won't get you defected as it all depends on what you say at the time.

"I used silicon hose as it withstands the engine bay heat better, the standard rubber stuff cracks every couple of years."

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
