exciting times......

well the pipe from afm to throttle body is cracked and split on the vectra where it is ribbed. its been black taped up but isnt the best, so i thought i would replace it with some sillycunt stuff which turned up today



proper no show and shine black stuff. i mean it is a std car. im not going to make an engine bay look flash for no reason. so thats why its black. if i can brave the cold and snow i will fit them bits later, and also put the std airbox and filter back on instead of the k plus n.

thanks.

another exciting part for the vectra.........



everyone says how putting a 3.8bar fuel pressure reg on these engines is supposed to cure the flat spots. it has a 3.0bar as std. so i will give it a go. not bad for 25 quid new so no real loss if it doesnt improve it.

just wish it was warm enough to go fit it and the inlet pipes. oh well.
