you can see some of the neuspeed caps on my website (www.leoncupra.co.uk) in the engine bay gallery section....

I need to get some more to finish it off - but they are quite expensive (the ones i have were an xmas pressie)

Forge ones are "TT" style and are cheaper. Have been toying with getting the forge strut top caps but think they might look silly as they don't match the rest.
 
What is the pipe at the top of the pic iv marked? and is it ok to use vac pipe on there aslong as i use screw clips?
Also what is the bore size of the other pipes iv marked?



P.S this bay looks fantastic
 
Ok, i really need to get the jet wash in there. Its got alot of dirt on it. What should i be looking out for as i don't want to screw anything up?

Yup.... could cover them up with a plastic sheet or something, plus dont point the jet directly at your plugs... :no:

My old man did my old motor ... it was VERY funny ....
water got in a plug, so I took it out for a drive...
foot to the floor it was ticking on 3 ...
then in bursts of 2-3 seconds the 4th would kick in....
felt like a turbo or something

:roflmao:

Those were the days. :rolleyes:

If you have the cash.... get someone else to do it. £30 would be better getting someone to do it for you, then if any problems occour, it's THEIR fault and THEIR insurance. :think:

Went past our local valet place yesterday and they have a nice steam cleaning bay but...... they also have a nice big sign above it saying. ENGINES CLEANED AT OWNERS RISK! :doh:
 
i'd make sure any air filters/pollen filters etc are well covered too - don't want any CAI's or filters full of water now do we?
I'm gonna attack mine at some point - although not as bad as the above pics :)
