Hi Puppey,

thanks for your help.

Yes, actually I m doing a similar thing as you did.

But just I dont really like that chrome led tail light, so decide to reuse the original red plastic cover. (cover the chromy)

However it is pretty hard to pull the lense off, (both the led's cover and the stockies' cover)

I believe r32 and r33 should be more or less the same.

So how did you do that?

Hi Lovic,

Oohhhh i see what u mean now. sorry i misunderstood ur question b4. :) that i have no idea how to do so sorry :) ... dunno if that's possible with r32.

initially i thought i had to do that (for r32) before i took the whole tail light off the panel (pls someone correct me if i'm wrong), but apparently i didn't have to open the red plastic cover.

so all i had to do was simply taking the original tail light assembly off the cover, and replacing it with the led light assembly. put windscreen sealant (i used it since it doesn't harden) and screw the light (cover and assembly) back to the car again.

do you reckon i understand you correctly? ;) ...

Hi Puppey,

That's ok, thanks.

Hi 75coupe,

You reckon over method is ok? there is no silicone or something similar sticky stuff to be heated up.

There was white sticky stuff on mine and I used the oven to soften it up and then slowly worked the red lenses off...

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
