It was certainly a bit bumpy in the beginning, but I doubt Dave would ever regret going the WoN route.
For me splicing into the fuel pipe was deffo the hardest part, as it wasnt as straight forward as i thought it would be... well, basically i couldnt splice into the standard pipe, and it needed a rethink basically.
The problem was I didnt research properly, and once i had cut the pipe and found out the standard pipe wasnt suitable to be spliced, it left me high n dry... literally!! and without my car, panic set in as well
But in the end the solution was fairly straight forward, you just need to replace the standard fuel pipe (under the bonnet) with a length of pipe that can be spliced into... just good old standard rubber high pressure fuel hose available from any good car accessory shop for a few pounds.
The guys on here were a god send thinking up different solutions to my problem, I cant thank them enough, also my friendly local guy Pete who sells me my nitrous has been a god send as well...
As for my Nitrous line blowing off after 1 day, Im convinced that was an error on my behalf, I didnt have the olive pushed far enough down the pipe before crimping it. Once the olive was fitted correctly, 7 months down the line and its never blown off again.
Look at it this way... As far as I know, im the first person in the country to fit Nitrous onto this particular vehicle, so I have found the problems that may occur, and also the solutions for other people to benefit from.
When you feel the hit of the nitrous for the first time, and you are grinning ear to ear, any snags along the way are quickly forgotten
