Hey everybody, this winter I plan on trying to clean up my engine bay. Part of this being ordering new lime green vacuum hoses from samco. I have done quite a bit of searching but must not know exactly what to type in, does anybody know how much of each size hose I need to order? All emissions equipment removed already, and I don't mind having a bit left over but I don't want to order but I do not want to order 3 times more than I need. Any help or links is greatly appreciated!

 

Looks like illjust buy ten foot rolls...what sizes are needed?

 

3.5mm (all the regular hoses) and 6mm for some of the larger hoses, don't need much.

 

I love lime green. Pics when done!

Sweet thanks guys. I've been talking to prew on here about powder coating tips so it should be looking pretty Damn good this winter

 

Nice post MMoore4545 Looking forward to pics of this lime green, I like odd colours under the hood

 

The combo I have picked out is a common scheme but I'm debating if I want to Change the bay color from white to something else

 

what colors are you considering changing it to?

 

Well the plan for my car is mainly white with satin black parts and a small hint of lime green, Im not sure if the green hose with black everything else in a white bay would look good. I was considering painting the bay.black to match hood scoop and the spoiler. On the other hand I feel a black bay would give impression I repainted the car but didn't take the time to do the bay.

This is prew's bay and that's how I want my parts, all black. Now I can picture the lime green but I'm having problems placing it in a white bay.

 

Just wanted to mention that is my favorite third generation picture that I have seen so far!!!

 

Ok got some bday money last Saturday... only problem is I cant find out where to buy samco houses from. I follow the links but each site is missing any form of contact info. Anyone know of a dealer?

Thanks!

 

Your welcome! I've bought t-bolt clamps, silicone hose, and silicone sleeves for intake pipes from that website. Great products and prices.

 

NICE link! I'll be getting some too. Thanks for sharing.

 

One more question for you guys, samco dosnt sell the 3.5 or 6 mm hose sizes, would it be ok to.go with. 4 and 6.3 mm size instead? I don't see there being a problem seeing as I planned on zip tying them all down any wayside, but wanted to double check

 

That will also work. With silicone hose, it's very stretchy. So 3.5mm stretches a bit to get on the nipples (easily done), and 4 will do the same. Even old crusty rubber sometimes is on there in a stubborn manner.

 

Sweet thank you...now just to wait the 6 week shipping time....

 

LOL wut....
I bought mine here. I bought enough for stock according to mazdatrix. I had a lot extra, but I am not stock....
