Punto (Mk2/2b) Blue Sporting MK2!

It really cant be hard to make a die for having them made up to order.

You what lol?

alright mate, just wondering what did you use to remove that black plastic stuff off the door? did you do it the same as bump strips?

sort of. heat it up and peel off. some tar remover or something like that will help remove the excess glue with a little elbow grease. start peeling it from the inside fold of the door and if ur careful u can get it all off in one piece.

Firstly i heated it up with n hairdryer why my next door watched me in confussion. Then open the door heat a corer up pull it very slowly then heat it up again. Keep heating it then keep pulling and repeating the same process. If there is some gunk left over have some white spirit and a dirty cloth. Put small amounts on and brush it off. Then give the area or the whole car a wash after.

to get that stuff off you have to rub pretty hard! DO not use white spirts that stuff with easly take the clear laquer off and ccould take the paint work off too.. get something called sticky stuff remover from halford for 5 pound it does the job nicely! or WD40

i found tcut worked quite well too for doing that

yeh i used heat then stickky stuff remover abit of my mrs handy nails and then tcut haha!

defo wise to use heat tho.... i didnt and ended up with a blister or 2 on my fingers from all the elbow grease needed. lol.

rubber wheel rips through it and i had mine done in 20 mins bit of t-cut to take the little leftover parts off

Well was doing my weekly checks and opened my bonnet and noticed my GSR had snapped the oil feeder. So did an little looking on eBay found a new one ordered it. Then I thought why not get some silicone to extend it across to stop it from snapping again. so i ordered 500mm silicone. Also ordered some mini filters as well.

All these arrived this morning no silicone pipe though for now. When these arrived I had a brain wave I plan to close that end of the GSR up so it blocks it so should give more pressure from the main intake area. Question is how and what to use to block of the GSR oil end. Im Thinking Wine cord with a jubilee clip on it.
For now ill just put the mini filters on each end just so it don’t suck up any crap. Plus been in desperate need to use my car lol.
This is what it looked like before i touched anything.


This is my make shift thingy for the time being. And also what I did ...
took the old feeder off soon as it uncliped easy to take off.

Placed the new one into the gap and tightend it with clips.

Attached the first mini air filter



And this is what it looks like for now this will not stay like this its only temp so i can get my car going again.


Right ill ask again if anyone knows what i can use to clog that side of the GSR up and when my silicone arrives ill move that oil pipe to a better possition so it can get some fresh air aswell

Positive feedback negative or criticle all welcome

those oil filters are an MOT fail also gives you less MPG thats what ive heard any way..

I thought the idea of the breather/oil tubing connecting to the airbox/ induction kit was there to provide oil into the throttle body to allow lubrication?

So doesn't that mean blocking it up is bad?

the oil that comes from your breather pipe gets burnt the fumes then the rest just clogs up your TB could get an oil catch tank which still burns the fumes but keeps the oil out of the TB

Well my silicone arrived today and had a little pilay with and this is what it looks like i think this is much better now.

I still dont get why youve got 2 filters...
I would ditch the 1 on the induction hose, and bung it up with a cork.
