Red Vacuum Hoses
So I thought the engine bay could do with a bit of extra colour.
Ordered some red silicone hose and it arrived today. You will need 4mm and 5mm internal diameter if you are to do this yourself.

And ANOTHER knuckle bites the dust:

I also discovered that I really can't lower the car any more:

Yep, pretty much!Merlin wrote:Is it as easy as pull of the old hose, cut new hose the correct length, slide new hose on?
Yep! and the kerb outside my house are quite low compared to most out there, so I'm really going to have to be careful when out and about!NafemanNathan wrote:

Re: Gayno's 4th Gen
I could get over those no problem before, but not sure if 10mm drop will now make me scrape, and I'm not brave enough to try and find out!!
My lude no longer fits on my drive - I had to take the bumper off to get it to its current resting place and when it's all finished I'll have to take the bumper off again to get it onto the road again

It's the way forward
Hoses are looking nice, I did some myself ages ago but never got around to changing as much as you have..!
