Manifold Question

[Titch]

Right, going to have a go at getting my standard manifold off, and replacing it with the fine Janspeed one that i got from Neil.
Is it hard to get the old one off and is there anything else i'll need to do/lookout for?
Titch :kungfu:

dead easy to do, 14 bolts. Your car is quite new but should be ok. Watch out for the studs comming out of the head with the nut if it siezes on.

14 bolts? u for real mate?

 

[Titch]

well i'm on 10 so far, and about 50 cuts on my hand. Riht, got it off the head, do i just get it off at the cat, and then put the new one in?

 

[SR_Micra_Boy]

I didnt think it was that many, lol,. I though he just put the 1 in by mistake, lol

 

[chie]

i count 12 altogether off the top of my head

 

[Titch]

**** it, given up. Managed to get it off from the head, but its all ****ed up at the CAT, so will take it to a garage to do it!

i got stuck on the head! and gave up then.

 

[Ian]

hmm maybe it is 12.... i was thinking it was 10 on the head, but it must only be 8. 2 on the manifold to downpipe then 2 on the cat

 

[Titch]

Yea, thats what i counted anyway mate
8 on the head
2 joining to the cat
Then 2 on the cat

 

[Craig]
