#1: The bay Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 8:03 am ---- Well over this past week it has been a job to get my engine bay looking good and finish it off
To be fair this is not the full complete of it i still need to get my white samco hoses and put them in then it will be done
But to give you an idea of how it now looks i thought i would take some pictures as it is looking damn good already and you can kind of guess how it will look with the white hoses
All comments welcome
before todays little additions
after a morning of work
thanks for looking

#3: Re: The bay Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 8:38 am ---- Done an excellent job there mate!
#4: Re: The bay Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 8:40 am ---- you can get blue ones from demon tweeks but im sure if you phone they will be able to order them in white or whatever colour you want as samco do other colours, its only 2 hoses though coolant ones i think.

thanks but its not exactly perfect there's overspray on the engine cover if you look close but it looks ok
#6: Re: The bay Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 8:52 am ---- Get the clay bar out

i dont have one and how would that help?
could i get rid of the overspray using it as it seems to have kind of engrained itself in the pearl white
its dried overspray by the way lol
#8: Re: The bay Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 8:56 am ---- You can remove overspray with a clay bar.
#9: Re: The bay Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 9:00 am ---- i dont know if anyone will know this but would it be possible to replace the bit thats holding my pipercross induction kit on with a silicone elbow and what size and angle would i need as i would like a white samco one there instead?

cool thanks for the advice gonna have to look into getting a clay bar now and sorting out the overspray and making it look even better
#11: Re: The bay Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 9:05 am ---- Get a medium grade, should do the trick!

one other thing is i dont have the slightest clue about using a clay bar?
This is a very popular starter kit, and for good reason. Everthing you need
#14: Re: The bay Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 9:21 am ---- thanks for that will have to invest in it soon
#15: Re: The bay Author: NICKST, Location: Little hulton (worsley)Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 9:23 am ---- I have contacted samco and that told me they don't do a kit for the 180.

well demon tweeks are selling one to fit the 180 its only for the colant though and consists of 2 hoses
#17: Re: The bay Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 9:28 am ---- it might be that its actually the one for the normal gti but fits the 180?
#18: Re: The bay Author: NICKST, Location: Little hulton (worsley)Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 10:16 am ---- I asked samco about this and the part number on that link is for the gti not the 180. The top hoses are the same for the gti and the 180 but the bottom ones are totally differnt.

i did with my 180, i used 2 90 deg samco hoses (76mm) and som e intercooler pipe to make it go right down to the bottom as it was sucking to much warm air in from the top

thanks for that will look into getting myself some of them and setting that up
should only need one 90 degree though then run the piping from the enclosed bit down to the bottom to pull in cold air or does this not work for some reason?
was yours the pipercross viper? also what did you do about the thing that plugs into that piece thats there now?
thanks for your help

ahhh i see well thanks for clearing that up now i wont be wasting some money
have you tried other silicone hose companys im sure there are other makes out there that i have heard about so maybe some other company make a kit for it or could make the right piece?
have you asked samco if they plan on making the kit or if they would make the right piece for order?
#23: Re: The bay Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 11:21 am ---- Or all of you could cover the tooling cost between you so they could make one "off the shelf" for you all. That way everyone else with a 180 would also benefit. You should organise a group buy

i may try and get in touch with them about doing this if the others from this thread are interested?
i mean surely all it would take is to pick up the bottom pipe off a 180 and send it off to them so they could duplicate it in silicone?
#25: Re: The bay Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 11:31 am ---- Exactly
#26: Re: The bay Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 11:37 am ---- tbf though that is easier said than done as its not often you see a 180 bein sold for parts and if you were to take it off your own you would be without a car for however long it takes them to make it
#27: Re: The bay Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 11:39 am ---- They may also be able to do it from a CAD drawing. Im no expert though, youd be best speaking to Samco.

on the breather the little plastic bit the breather clips onto come out from the standard air pipe so i drilled a hole in the samco and glued it in.
i just had a universal cone on mine and it sat right at the bottom and sucked loads of cold air in

cool will have to do the same and seen as though mine is an enclosed piece i may get away with one pipe and then run the hosing from it down
