But will need to mandrel bend some metal tube into the biggest looking eejit to get it all to fit I didn't have this problem before, with more hp and same plastic.... Todays lesson: plastic is crap for anything above 1 bar!

YbFocus wrote: » Badly melted? What happened? Are you using the silicone to bridge the gap? What are you modding?
fancy pigeon wrote: » Turns out that the pipe had moved and wasn't seated right, thus the gap created caused the pipe to collapse in :eek: Ah its only an auld diesel engine I'm rooting with

My impression is that everyone on a bike seems to be part of some big happy community and everyone loves everyone else? Not seeing many bikers rowing over stuff in the searches im doing and even in real life they seem to be all be very pally with waves to each other and nods of acknowledgement... So I'm just wondering how hard the test itself may be! :P

fancy pigeon wrote: » So here I sit, in my car, as I eat my highly nutritious mc ribwich and kfc whatchamacarcass burrito. I do this everyday as I enjoy the radio (I like to sing along to daft punks get lucky and change the words to "were out to rub a mexican monkey") in my lavish interior, full of dust, rust and a lack of trust as I'm missing a support bar Sadly, not so desired radio broadcasts may time and again make an appearance while im atein my lunchables. Like that awful load of offal by florida (ITS FLORIDA YOU BERK) you know it "i dont know the words so i just go rubs hands like farmer baby, puts on flat cap and starts mimicking the tripe in a caaaavan accent" Today, something diverted my attention away from the naff, tinkling ad on the radio for souper valu. Whom should i see only Biddy in her new 131 cn PEW JOE 208! With that all to familiar look of terror "jayyyypers mary, were in the biiiig shmoke hai! We betther be careful, dont want to meet any of them car jackets or mobile salesmen!" The traditional bowl haircut, head shaped like a beaker and a look of fred flinstone. You know the type, they look at the camera with a semi surprised look in their hand me down tommy hilfigger striped shirt, taken at a slightly jaunty 18 degree angle.... Biddy didn't look very comfortable in her conversation with mary in the passenger seat. Biddly looked like she was trying to direct hungry cattle out a gap into the parlour, with a coffee cup. Except she actually had a coffee cup in her hand. Perhaps she thinks its one of them swivvell yokes for the shteerin hai? Biddy was far too engrossed in her local vernacular to notice a bin bag in her path. Without further thinking, her snap reactions led her to brake and swerve like synchronised swimming. Her fast reactions saved her car and the vulnerable bin bag from a 9mph road traffic accident. However, biddys fast reactions were her pitfall, where she suddenly jumped all 28 stones of her onto the accelerometer pedal, in turn sending the car into an accelerated state thus firing the contents of her cold coffee cup all over her. Further actions redeemed her, by suddenly jolting on the land anchors, only to recoil in anguish at the gloop that now covered her frivolous red face. It's good, but it's not quite Carling Wouldn't you be disgusted if this happened to you and theres a fancy pigeon looking on, laughing like a cat on catnip!!!
