sorry, another fmic question

[Lefty]

Alright, i've finally got round to fitting my fmic from the last apex gb on them. Not bad going so far, only snapped about 8 bolts but got the thing mounted very easily.

My question is this..... the pipe that goes up through the battery tray has a small pipe coming from its side, presumably this pipe is for attatching a dump valve??? If that is so then im a bit stuffed as my dump valve pipe is much larger in diameter than the metal one. Can i just bung this up until i can find a suitable piece of hose or what?

[Sideways Danny]

that's the idle air valve take off. if you dont connect it the car wont idle properly

there you have your answer

[Lefty]

Right, im with ya now thanks, got a bit carried away and was doing it in the dark so didnt notice that pipe

No stopping me now, although i have made a bit of a mess with the battery tray

easiest thing to do is heat the bottle with a glue gun and remould it or get a facelift ( iirc ) water bottle. it's smaller you see

[Lefty]

ive got a heat gun handy so ill have a bash with that. I have a facelift model so that unfortunatly wont help. I think the bottle's buggered anyway as it looks like one of the little motors has rusted and disintergrated. oh well

[Lefty]

All back together and ready to go. The bottle is shegged so ill be on the lookout for another
