250horses Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 With my new Dump Valve fitted I need to block off my old stock Toyota BOV. Simon B suggested that I use walking stick rubber ends. The rubber feet thingies you get from hardware stores. What a BRILLIANT IDEA It works a treat, and costs .35 pence each side !!!!!!!!!!! And GET THIS, with only the one dump valve now, my boost has raised by .1 bar. Cheers Simon B, youre a genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardharmon Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 And GET THIS, with only the one dump valve now, my boost has raised by .1 bar. Was the stock dump valve leaking then (can you blow though the large pipes)? Recently I have found that both mine and Anthony's stock valves were leaking, I wonder if this problem is fairly common. Love those walking stick ends, LMFAO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250horses Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 very different site that one is Richie: heres an excerpt People should be able to recognize you wherever you go. They should not only be able to recognize you as a pimp, but know your name on sight- This can be difficult to accomplish, because being a pimp means adhering to certain rules of dress, but it is a necessity for becoming a truly great pimp. All clothes that are worn should be made of expensive fabrics, such as silk, leather, velvet, and animal fur. You should also carry as many accessories as possible. Common accessories are things such as hats, rings, canes, necklaces, etc. Accessories should be even more expensive than your outfit. This means that they should be made out of expensive materials as well, such as gold, silver, and gems. As many of these should be worn as possible, and should be spread evenly around the body. The difficult part about being a pimp is that while you should always adhere to these rules of dress, you should also have something about you that is different. This unique aspect is what will make people remember you, and if you play your cards right, fear you as well. This unique aspect can be as simple as an afro three feet tall, or as complicated as a complete, skintight, black leather outfit complete with ass- wupping gadgets (Batman). Some other examples are gem- encrusted gold canes, wide brimmed velvet hats, and black belts in karate (you show this by wearing a black bandana around your head).

Recently I have found that both mine and Anthony's stock valves were leaking, I wonder if this problem is fairly common. POW! Same issue. Arse. asked dude bout this, will try not to bug him too much tho sounds like an awesome idea. Will block the bastard off momentarily.

chris_bramley Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Um..... Yes? HAHAHAHAHAHA have a Blitz the stock whistles up when I 'celerate. the blitz dumps when it's meant to. the stock shuoldn't have been left in!! (last bloke did it, only got the car recently) Found some 25mm rubber bungs. I know they need 20mm but as a temp job with self amalgamating tape it should hold nice and airtight till i find better fits. atm I'm running big risk of fecking the engine...

250horses Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Wilkinson, the household/hardware store thats where I got the rubber walking stick ends that fitted 100% perfectly. Also were quite thick so wont melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I planned I tried with some rubber feet I had, which were too big and I heard one pop off this morning on the way to work (2k rpm max drive in, anyone? ). I'll see if I can pop out lunchish, anywhere good around uxbridge/heathrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
