LGM/Ekapol Intake Pipes

[paulwatkins]

The filter box is from a 92-95 Honda Civic. Any wil do as they are all the same. They have a 3" outlet.

Marie, how does the inlet side of the Honda filter box marry up to the metal bracket that the trashcan currently sits on?

Chrome trash can

, just thought the only reason want to change this is because its ugly, not because it isn't efficient. Might have a look later, see if you could get Lotus badge on it

I seem to recall one of our US members working on a s/s or aluminium trash can a while back, was it Dave M ?
Cheers,

These guys do a quality job & it really looks like chrome (just like chrome-plating plastic headlight trim-rings).

These guys are along my commute - I guess I could skim mine through their door one day just for fun?

Paul,
simply put, it doesn't. I cut the bottom of the Honda box off and am moulding a new bottom from fiberglass. I'm actually doing alot in carbon and glass these days.

[Paul.P]

Option A: (most viable) build a replacement pipe for the current rubber monstrosity.

This is certainly looking favorite to me, all i really want is a nice shiney pipe to match the top one, i would look at getting the trashcan plated. I will still go with the majority, but thinking about this, will a complete new system be a lot of money for what ?

[lotusgirlmarie]

I will be looking more into option A in the coming weeks as time permits. Good news, on the BOV pipe front. I'll be picking up the second run from the faber's this week and start polishing them. I'm still waiting on a few more Samco hoses but will ship the complete pipes as they become available.

[lotusgirlmarie]

I have the pipes in hand. Polishing in a few hours. when I get some rest after my trip.

Just a quick update on the first run:

Delivered to Donny:
Paul.P - Paid in full
Woody - I'll send you my paypal address, I haven't forgotten
ABMunro - Paid in full

Awaiting postage:
AB2CV
Dunnlor

Delivery cost to me was an additional £18.50.

I'm estimating the onward cost to be about £10-15 (can't see it being more than that, probably less infact).

I'll try and make it to the post office on Saturday to get these sent on, so if AB2CV and Dunnlor can PM their address I'll get them sent and let you know what the final cost is.

Thanks

Dunnlor is in the US, previously I thought he's in the UK too.

[ailwyn]

Dunnlor is in the US

I guess the "spare" that I have can go to someone from list 2 rather than ship it back to the states?

Who's the next in line FROM THE UK from list 2?

[Ekapol]

After Woody, then Rogerf (Malcolm) is next on the list in UK.

[Rogerf]

Ailwyn, i would gladly take this off you but, i was wanting RED Samco hoses and if it's Dunnlor's you have i think he was wanting BLACK hoses.I may be wrong!
Roger

Roger

That is correct. I might want to ask Ailwyn to send us back just the black hoses. We will send a set of red Samco to you Rogerf.

[ailwyn]

Ok, I'm trying to keep this simple

Enrights order is still pending from run 1 and he ordered black connectors?

If so, send me a set of red connectors, I'll send a full kit on to roger with red samcos.

I'll then send the black hoses on to Enright, then all that you'll need to send to enright is the LGM pipe, recirc adaptor, jubilee clips?

Firstly, please confirm my assumption on Enrights order, secondly please confirm that the above makes sense, and both Roger and Enright will eventually receive all the parts they requested.

Thanks

Firstly, please confirm my assumption on Enrights order, secondly please confirm that the above makes sense, and both Roger and Enright will eventually receive all the parts they requested.

Almost all correct, just that Enright ordered generic black hoses which will be sent to him with his pipe, most likely the same time as the red hose kit too. Do you know if white91elan(3rd run) is in the UK? Thank you.

[ailwyn]

Nope, he's your side of the pond... I think the only thing to do then is post the black hoses back to you unless we can come up with something else.

A.

[Ekapol]

Thank you Ailwyn. Please let me know how much would be for the shipping. I will paypal you promptly

[Matt RI]

Marie- as usual, I am definitely in for whatever process you settle on for the second pipe. Happy that it will match the other side, and looking forward to receiving the pipe/BOV and getting that all in the car! Thanks again for your time and effort!

If there is a good way to replace the trashcan and improve the efficiency via colder air- then I am all for that. Otherwise I will be quite happy with the lumpy hose being removed and a shiny new pipe in it's place.

[ailwyn]

I have bad news, a bill from DHL for import duty and VAT has been delivered, works out at £20 each, inc paypal fees.

I'll PM everyone on the UK delivery separately with my paypal address.
