Suggestions?

Post by bass_twitch »

Hey guys,

Need some suggestions:

Firstly the metal bit above my MIVEC plastic cover in my engine is all old and gross, any suggestions how to make it look nicer? (I'm talking about the metal that says ECI blah blah blah) we tried sanding it today, and whilst it worked, it was difficult to get into all the little bits.

Secondly my rear light cover (on the inside of the rear window) is causing some seriously annoying vibrating noises when I'm pumping my sub. What can I do? As I obviously can't seal it off as I may need to access it one day??

if you can spot the gap at the rear light cover. try to use some foam or sponge and squeeze between them to absorb the vibration.

haha, both very helpful..
as for detaching the metal engine part.. It seems to be a rather large bit.. it'd be a pin in the ass to detach (that and I probably wouldn't be able to put it back together)

As for the rear light, I'm going to try some foam/sponge in the next few days and see if that sorts it out, thanks :)
