    Reducing Interior Noise

    I can confirm that now I have taken my car on the Motorway (read Interstate, Autobahn, Autoroute) that the wind noise is massivley reduced from fitting the neoprene in the guttering. Now all that remains is that coming front the quarterlight and the wipers whilst no insigificant, but nothing...

    Walloth seal- SOLD.

    I ditched my seal in favour of an alternative design. Not only easier to secure the hood but a better seal therefore quieter.

    Heated rear screen.

    The rear screen does not seem to be that good. I have checked voltage and continuity through the screen but it doesn't do much at all.

    Reducing Interior Noise

    I tried it fitting first then used a hosep[ipe on it. Once I took the neprene off it was perfectly dry. As it is closed cell, the neoprene kept the water out. As for the goosebumps - its taken quite a while to come through and then appeared almost overnight. It is due some bodywork and a...

    Reducing Interior Noise

    Those keen eyed elves amongst you might notice my paint now has goosebumps. This developed over a spell of cold weather after over 8 years since the car was painted. It was outside under a waterproof car cover. Any ideas on what might have caused this? If it was water under the paint I would...

    Reducing Interior Noise

    The seals between the engine and the internal firewall where the fan motor sits can affect noise a lot. I found the factory products didn't seal well and I played around with profiles which did seal. Any gaps will let the engine and header noises in the car. As for wind noise, the wipers, the...

    A “please ID this part” thread

    The rubber section might be this piece, number 11 on this diagram. I bought two of these gaskets but cannot work out where they fit.

    M30B35 Motronic Engine Swap - O2 sensor and Fuel Tank Breather Valve

    I fitted both. The o2 sensor improved the performance and idle considerably. For the Fuel Breather valve, I used a diode across the terminals on the plug and it had minimal effect if any.

    M30B35 Motronic Engine Swap - O2 sensor and Fuel Tank Breather Valve

    Has anyone added these after doing the engine swap? Both of the above send signals through to the Control Unit and seem to affect the way the car drives.

    Polyeurathane Engine mounts

    Thanks Don. I will post a pic but also video the acceleration so you can hear the noise. The bearing is new and was preloaded on fitting.
