Hi all,

I'm progressively going through my car and replacing bits that are most likely to have worn over time. Working through my list, I've done water and fuel pumps, spark plugs, suspension bushes. I figure it's about time I did the hoses too.

Basically, I'm looking at getting a bunch of silicone hoses like the sets that Ministry of Bass is selling, such as: http://www.ministryofbass.com.au/moshop/pr...products_id=261

Some questions:

1. Are there any special precautions to take when replacing hoses, other than making sure that I use good hose clamps and that the hoses are properly secured?

2. <noob-ish stupid question> Are there any hoses that are likely to have fluids in them that I'll have to be aware of?

3. Any other hose-replacing tips?

Thanks guys

      Can't see that being a thing.

      R34 GTT Central Locking Pains

      My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?

      It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.

      @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!

      Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
