So holidays up the coast are over. (no one stole my valve caps though, which is good)
I don't go back to work until next tuesday, which gives me time to play with the car.
So I thought I would give the old flapper mod a go. Not just removing the hose but hooking up a switch between the ecu and solenoid as per here. I can' say it went to well. I had all the gear I needed and grabbed a switch, cable and resistors etc and made up the switch.
Then it was time to find the dreaded grey and blue cable. Well buggered if I can find the right one/get to where it should come through. I traced back from the boot well where it runs with a yellow and black cable down the passenger side of the car (I think). It proved too difficult to pull the carpet up/remove the glove box and get to the cables. So I removed all the dash and unscrewed everything in sight on the drivers side. Contorting myself on my back into the foot well, I found lots of cables none of which seem to be the right one. Pinging them out, I can't seem to find the right one. Or get my damn hands into the spots I need. Obviously it would seem that this mod is much easier in the LHD cars.
In the end I gave up and rebuilt my interior and clamped the damn hose.
Lots of fun noise for me but I would like to switch it. Anyone with any ideas/experience?
