hi have been a member for while now but had to much going on to focus on rebuilding my car just started, but i have a little problem and would appreciate any help. ther is a bottle like thing behind passenger headlight it has like little bit of coal in bottom its black and has 2 pipes coming out of top, and is sitting on top of the chassis leg what is this and how can i replace
thats the only thing to start finishing her just dont want to run and cause any damage
thanks

It's the carbon canister. You can ditch this although you will need to create a loop between the hard pipes when you remove it as this effectively vents vapour from the fuel tank.

You can also remove the vacuum pipe which runs from plenum to the canister although you'll need to block this off at the plenum end.


Do a search on 'carbon canister' and you'll get more explanations on how to remove.

Wow a local s15. Welcome along mate as James said removing the canister is easy, you just need a bit of 6 or 8mm hose and some zipties. Where abouts are you in sitingbourne?

Just got her running now waiting for headlight from America shouldn't be long but just having problems mounting my inter cooler and bumper have no brackets or bumper support any help / advice would be appreciated cheers

 

[DeanS15]

Is it a front mount intercooled? If it is it won't attach to the bumper support bracket at all, just the core support. Also the bumper really needs a support as otherwise you have nothing to hold it up in the middle, the sides just bolt to the wings so that's not a problem...
