Lambchop With A Renault Axis Here...

Hey Dale, thanks for the suggestions on extras. Have you posted a pic of your custom mount / air duct? I would like to see what you've come up with.

I think method 2 is the way to go and your reason above makes a lot of sense. Previously I was only considering implications when cold, but of course it is more important to consider what happens when hot since that is the most common state.

Just went out & pulled my grille out; the things I do...

Doesn't need a top plate as the grille bar is about 5mm away.

and peeking through the Grille;

Hope that explains it.

judging by the pic, it looks like you could fit it in the same spot with the HDI..

confirm?? looks like a good setup Daleo

Well, that was unexpected... I thought you might have had some pics stored away. Thanks for doing that specially for me (us?).

Setup looks good. I'll store these away for when I do mine.

Yep, it all sits forward of the back edge of the bar reo; so no clearance issues.

No worries.

What did you buy, did you get them from the link above? If so you will need the nuts to suit as they are 1.5mm pitch.

The stock studs are M10x1.5 into the turbo and M10x1.25 for the dump side with the nut.

nope i got some from my exhaust guy there the same as stock so ill reuse the old nuts....... if i can get them off the old studs LOL.

also as a side note: he recommended NOT using stainless steel studs

[scotty nm35]

Did he give a reason? I have had no problems with the stainless studs and copper nuts. Much better than reusing the old nuts imo.

+9..

im using them and no issues.. and looks much cleaner too as the studs are shorter.

Most mechanics shy away from stainless due to the galling and binding issues you get with unlubricated threads and stainless or high tensile nuts.

They also have this odd idea that stainless goes brittle when used on exhausts(which is odd; cos they're happy to fit a stainless manifold or dump pipe); which is also a furphy.

Obviously not an issue when using copper nuts...

[WAGON_BOY]

SO PISSED OFF the cars not back on the road........ still witing on parts FFS!!!

if only i knew it would be this much hastle i would've payed some poor barstard to do it and save myself the freaken headake!!!!!!!!!

[WAGON_BOY]

finally installed the dump pipe, about to go do the ECU reset and see if she runs again!!!!!
