I'll be having to do that on my C70 in the next month or so. Must have looked at that post from (Oreo) 4-5 times over the past few years. Finally decided it was the time do it. If you want to make it that much easier you might consider removing the front seats as well. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Nice work! Fiberglass work is a little messy - but no -one's ever going to see that Do you have a PN for that tape? It looks the same as the stuff used to wrap the P1 harnesses - I could use some of that in the cabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two types I used on the car and they both work well. For this stuff I used the TESA tape https://www.ebay.com/itm/TESA-51628-ADHESIVE-PET-FLEECE-WIRE-HARNESS-TAPE-3-4-X-25M-CLOTH-FRICTION-FS/232987963975?epid=10026590887&hash=item363f2a3247:g:s7gAAOSwgjFZuBZ3 show in there. There's also a super excellent tape (how great can it be right?) That's Coroplast Automotive tape. its part number is 837x (https://www.ebay.com/itm/181949537255?ul_noapp=true) and it's the stuff. You can't tear it and it's bond is really impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I have done in the past is unwrap the factory cloth tape from salvaged harnesses - but that is a royal PITA .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do this with junkyard cars that had decent looking ABA clamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookforjoe Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Nice! I really missed not going to Carlisle this year - Between having to look out for my 80 year-old Mum, and my wife's concerns, I decided it would be better to skip this year. Will you be going to the EUmeet outside Ithaca in Oct? That I will be attending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were ok for the most apart aside from when there was the drift limbo event, we walked up the hill saw 400 people standing shoulder to shoulder and then left. Very iffy about coming down for that. Expecting to be a dad right about that time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to return some 5 cylinder sound to the car and maybe even gain some flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Dub Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Were you running R mani before? Is the japanifold flow improvement a thing? I remember this topic from years back but wasn’t sure if anyone ever saw real improvements? Have you dyno’d your car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember this topic from years back but wasn’t sure if anyone ever saw real improvements? Have you dyno’d your car? So Will (scottishbrick) did some loose measurements last week and the ports out into the collector are 34% bigger and the outside collector dimension is 27% larger in the X dimension. The thinking is also the Japanifold is 2-2-1 design, the R manifold is 3-1-1. The biggest leap on the whole discussion was the R manifold being a cost saving measure as the JP is 14lbs 4 ounces. the R is 12lbs 14 ounces. Idk time will tell if it's worth anything more then sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
