Founding Member Mazda Man Posted July 14, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Good stuff. I see you've also given your exhaust tips a good metal polishing too. Likey likey. What's that grey this on the left hand side Stu? Looks like a vent of some sort. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted July 14, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 It certainly is a vent Geoff - it extracts your smelly farts out through it, similar on the drivers side. It also helps keep the boot aerated and the interior too - if you ever get into the position to see the very rear most end of the parcel shelf you'll find vents there too, into the boot. They all work together with the fresh air intake and heating/cooling system. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted July 14, 2016 Author Administrators Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Errr what Dave said, also without it you would struggle to shut your door and boot, also they release the cabin pressure during VTEC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted July 14, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I thought i'd also give Geoff a ready-made get out of jail free card next time he floats an air-biscuit with Mrs Geoff in the car! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted July 16, 2016 Author Administrators Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Refitted (riveted) my rear bumper stiffener, Honda wanted almost 200 squid for a new one I had to break the spot welds to remove it and then drilled out the spot impressions on the bar, then some minor de-rusting and treatment & paint. I could have easily drilled it off completely but I didn't want the mess inside the car or the hassle of removing all the trim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted July 16, 2016 Author Administrators Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Thanks buddy, I've done a few of these now, its not something people notice unless the top bumper clips are very loose by that time its completely rotten and I've used galvanized shelving legs cut to size to save £££'s 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted July 16, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Got to be done - can't use the shelves after though lol! A bit like the coffee table legs i used to build my cross-axle exhaust pipe for the duplex exhaust system (now dead) on the Sterling. I think the technical term these days is upcycling but the fact is people like you and i have been doing it for decades 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you ask, I did remove some parts and mask off some parts and covered the brakes, removed the filler neck guard ect ect Thought it worth mentioning all bungs and vents drains where been removed once everything was dry or tacky, some cavity's had a good helping of wax seal before cleaning & re-fitting them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
