Um well that's open to debate but I think I'm right in saying the general consensus is the Pioneer KE 2090. (philips unit in the Raider:confused:)
Another smart looking white five btw :)

Re: My Johnny 5 turbo project :)
new water bottle always looks great.:agree:

Re: My Johnny 5 turbo project :)
i didn't think you could get new oe exhaustes anymore? whats the nearest you can get?
-
Re: My Johnny 5 turbo project :)
Where did you order your "new" gearknob from mate? I thought they were long since discontinued!
-
Re: My Johnny 5 turbo project :)
shame i can't see all your photos but the new ones look good :agree:
it may be my memory but is that the right cap for the expansion bottle? it's either blue or brown and i'm not sure which it should be :scratch: (they have different pressure ratings and i'd hate to see your clean engine bay get covered in coolant)

Jut had a quick scan...
https://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthrea...=Expansion+cap
Blue - 1.6bar
Brown - 1.2 bar
Brown should be fine for normal road usage.

was thinking blue but didn't want to give you the wrong info :)
