Zed Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hi everyone, just thought I'd post up a few pics of my silicone hose kit from Envy. Some of the old hoses were completely solid, had to completely destroy them to remove, and also got a few grazed and bloody knuckles. The hoses seem to grip onto the pipes quite firmly so hopefully theres no chance of any slipping off while driving. I also reverted to my stock airbox with Blitz LM panel, so I have an Apex'i power cone filter available if anyone's interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAngry Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Looks good! and good choice of colour. I went and visited Gaz last week and picked up a set of the same. I have only changed a few of mine so far and am now nursing three sliced up fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I did mine on Sunday, no pics yet because the engine bay needs more bling first but once I'd decided to throw the crappy 'instructions' away and go freestyle it was easy enough Like you I found a lot of very dodgy old hoses that needed cutting off and the new ones went on easily enough - currently nursing lots of stigmata style wounds and finding it painful to type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toms Supra Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 yeh but I cant see how you fit it?? the knob on the end of the cable? how does that feed through lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 I think the only way to fit the throttle cable hose would be to undo the cable at the throttle body. It's quite easy from what I can see, you take the tension out of the cable to remove it by tapping it out sideways those of you who have replaced the brake cable on your bmx's in the past will work it out easily and then just remove anything that is in the way, I think, I couldn't be bothered to do that one though. I carefully gunked my engine bay before removing the old hoses as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Regarding the throttle cable I just put a split in mine and wrapped it around, you'd never tell. Why is it that the uk has 2 cable's? I'm sure I've seen some j's with it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 not being funny here but that doesn't look any different to mine and i paid about £12 for my hose. you can buy it per meter at places like santa pod and jae It's probably identical, you just pay extra for the fact that someone with a really bad tape measure has precut all the pipes at a weird angle for you and left them all either 5mm shorter than expected or 5mm longer - oh and you get 'instructions' which consist of a pic of an engine (possibly a Supra) taken from 200m away with random letters of the alphabet scattered over it My summary on this one: "It's cheaper than Hose Techniques, they look nice... you can get them cheaper if you aren't lazy, a lot of your standard hoses will be well past it so it's a worthy mod" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 Why is it that the uk has 2 cable's? I'm sure I've seen some j's with it too. The second cable is for cruise control. It's probably identical, you just pay extra for the fact that someone with a really bad tape measure has precut all the pipes at a weird angle for you and left them all either 5mm shorter than expected or 5mm longer - oh and you get 'instructions' which consist of a pic of an engine (possibly a Supra) taken from 200m away with random letters of the alphabet scattered over it LOL, that is so true, for a while I was measuring each pipe and comparing to the pic and listing for each hose, then just started cutting the pipes and the extra lengths to complete the job. At least there's plenty extra included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
