actually i found my previous flexi pipe. but my previous car was using cai but current car using sri. so the flexi pipe is only 60cm. wld that be enough for a sri setup? i reckon its a little short for this.

U bought the seat already? Never heard u mention abt it...haha

joon wrote: i think the prelude caliper spraying is quite tiring if you follow my extremely anal methods of sanding and prep.. so if anyone wants to do it pls let me know in advance.. prob hold it on a separate day unless you wana come punctually at 12noon on DIY day (like ron and darren last time haha)

Ya, it is tiring but this method will ensure that the surface is more smooth for spraying...

Thanks for your help, Peter.

Pete

I have installed the return line back to the IM.
When i start the engine, the hoses ( Breather, PCV ) become sucked flat.....
only the return line remained "tube" shape.
Is this normal?

Although there is no erratic ilding now, my startup RPM after i cranked my key takes it ard 3000 thereabouts before it creap back gradually to ard 900rpm. Its un-usually high than before ( 1500rpm max ).
Do i need any more adjustments?

haha i had that same problem too.. the manifold vacuum is causing the soft tubes to collapse.. in the end i switched to weatherhead hoses.. we can swap them out one day.. the return line is usually unaffected

yup.. you'll have a slightly higher idle.. but i think this is compounded by the fact that you have a vacuum reservoir or "brake booster".. nothing to worry about too much

Anyway, Bro, I heard some ppl said need to spray a protective coating over it? Is it neceesary? I think it does not look shiny enough maybe becos Red is a non metallic color? Is there anyway, I can make it more shiny?
