Paddy's Pod Preparations.Warning Pikey content (Lolz inside)

[16v_paddy]

Just thought I'd share what I've been up to so I can get to pod on the 17th. I'm not running but going for the banter & a drinking session

As some of you may know I've recently swapped my engine for a freshly rebuilt F7P with cams. Some of you may also know about the troubles I've had with it as well :roll:

So 1st off is the exhaust, it's blowing like a bitch on heat, so here's how I've sorted that little problem

yes you've guessed it, shit loads of fire gum exhaust paste :twisted: It's only a temporary fix until I get my sports cat made up & fitted.

Next issue is the pain in the arse oil leak I've got :cry: I do believe it's the crank oil seal behind the flywheel that's at fault. It's also making a mess of my drive, so since I can't get to fixing that next month (time & tools dependant) I've gone for a different approach :wink:

I've used this

I've made a tray out of cardboard to catch the dripping oil :P

Here it is cut out & offered up to the underside

Then trimmed to keep it away from the downpipe

Then secured in several places with speaker wire, it's all tucked into & routed round various parts of the subframe so it can't go anywhere

Then knocked up some heat shielding using tin foil & exhaust paste

http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq165/16v_paddy/Latest%20Project/Image132.jpg

Then gave it a tidy up & a lick of paint and lacquer, not pretty I know but I'm hoping it will give it a bit of protection from the elements

So, can anyone "out pikey" my little fixes?? :lol: :twisted:

[white16valver]

hahahahahahaa

I foresee Top Gear style "it's on fire!!" situations ;) LoL :lol:

[schakal]

why would you want to catch the dripping oil ??

[Justin..]

seriously take that off, that is a huge fire risk :shock: just lay some cardboard on the drive to stop the stains!

[16v_paddy]

why would you want to catch the dripping oil ??

To keep it off the drive as it's getting ruined, it's only a temporary thing until I can fix it properly

[LEIGH-ANNE]

Lee have u ever heard of a drip tray by any chance - agree with justin, take it off! Spesh seen as the garage is connected to your house lol!!

[16v_paddy]

I've been using something similar for the past 2 weeks & it's been fine, this is a much better design :wink:

Car doesn't live in the garage so it'll be reet.

The oil is leaking from behind the flywheel & down both sides of the sump so the std drip tray can't catch it

[Laine_16v]

OH MY DEAR LORD. YOU ARE AN IDIOT!
