    The pipe that you were confused about that goes into the cabin is a symposer it’s like artificial sound you don’t really need could just get a symposer delete for it just a bung that blocks it off

    I bought a brand new Suzuki Jimny. Lifted the bonnet to see how dirty the engine had gotten after 1000kms and found a 10 inch screw-driver resting on the block! 😮 God-only knows how it managed to stay there, but luckily it did!

  • @jonmarsh1653
    @jonmarsh1653 Год назад +12

    That weird pipe is the sound symposer. It carries engine noise into the interior. A lot of times it’s removed on these as they have been known to cause boost issues 👍

    I was very critical of the channel last year as felt had lost the evil GT-ness but love the new format. Sure lee mentioned that would be big changes. I want to say well done really enjoy the new stuff.
    Ben knows he isn't the best mechanic in the world but I think he will inspire people to have a go with things and that is class.
    Well done boys

    I commented on a video a while back saying you should set up another business that you can endorse on YT instead of companies like Square Space. One idea could be Drop Shipping coffee to your viewers. You could create 4 blends and it could be called EVIL COFFEE then some merch to go alongside it. So many websites make it accessible. Takes an hour set up a store.

    • @EVILGT
      @EVILGT  Год назад

      We’re definitely looking into more of our own stuff mate yeah. Coffee is a great idea! 👊🏼🍻

    Ben, I agree with the other comments. I’ve been following from early on and it’s getting better and slicker. Keep it up! Maybe look at an older Porsche Cayman (987) as a project? Just a thought.

    It might sound ridiculous but i had a Volvo v40 t4 that had a misfire until i switch the spark plugs for Oem ones and it fixed the problem
    Also the blocks split in between the bores at the top as there is a gap of about 0.8 mm in between each cylinder bore which creates a weak spot

    Your videos are always so enjoyable however who ever told you to go straight for the bore cam is daft you would never ever start there if that was me it would have had a quick plug in see where the misfire is being detected and then go from there the fact you don’t know what your looking for which is fine would suggest the bore scope was a waste of effort anyway
