Engine Bay

[M87NER]

i do belive i have a red one sitting in my bay.

altho its sourounded by the rest of the **** tho.

i used to have the red forge one...but had to sell that to get the bigger one for my hybrid, so just bought the 50quid on of ebay as didnt have the money to buy the 130quid one from forge.

just looks like unnecessary pipes all over the place! but as long as your happy thats cool!

yeh no worries.... only one thing that i would get rid of atm is the bid red hose from my catch tank to wheel arch-just replace it with a breather filter instead... but havent got the spare money for luxeries any since losing my job 3 months ago....

When removing the black plate what do you do with these?

 

[Reuvers]

you remove them by placing resistors!

or if you want to leave them, then you can bolt them to the block. There is bolt holes in the block already. But be careful that it doesn't brake off and fall on manni. I had that and the car doesn't like it...

lets face it they will break and will fall on the manni!big fire risk as well! id say get rid of them!

 

[Reuvers]

well for the 5 quid the 2 resistors set you back I know I would.

Agree with the rest... remove all the unnesserary clutter from the bay and replace with reistors. Then go for what ever theme takes your fancy.

If we are having a willy waving comp heres mine proberlt for the last time!

If only it looked like this at the moment

set about removing that black metal tray tonight. i could reuse one of the screws to attach one sensor but what screw do i use for the other or will i need to buy one. Also the two screws that are removed do you need to replace them? or can u leave them off?

with the stuff I removed I have many left over. I'm sure you should have more than 1 when you properly clean everything off bay, even without placing resistors

As you can see from the pics above ^^ the black box had already been removed by the previous owner. so no screws from that. the black metal plate has 3 screws two of which are really long and one that i re-used

 

[Reuvers]

well 2 very simple options IMO; either you buy a new bolt which should be piss easy, or hack off part of the long one, again piss easy.

 

[Tizer]

its dark now =[ lol

o well its ok for now the metal plate is still on...one is on the metal tray the other is secured on one of the pre drilled holes. =]

sorted till tomorrow

 

[Tizer]

I hate leaving things unfinished lol. i just drove to my local B&Q picked up some bolts and done it under a light in the car park ha! JOB DONE!

 

[s1l3nc3r]

let me no if they break off atall ive just done the bypass my next move is removing the black tray.

havent got the resistors yet to remove them but dont want them on my mani if they break.

mite try and find some other way to secure them so they not hanging over the edge.

 

[Tizer]

well i put a washer under and above the metal clip so it should be ok...i think peoples break off if they bend the bracket so it is hidden from view behind the engine.

I think engine bays should be left standard...

 

[nogutsnoglory]

so should ibiza's as a rule

i could have had an m3 or s4, or a 350z with the money ive thrown at my ibiza(s)

 

[Reuvers]

phil, noguts, you having some kind of tripping party up there, the 2 of you?






I really do not understand what you (silencer and tizer) are talking about not being able to get resistors. They cost about 5 quid! get them and you won't have the problem. I certainly wish I did for that money seeing how many problems I had when one did break off.

Just get the resistors and remove them properly. The black trey will be fine for the next 3 days leaving it on there till resistors arrive...
