Hey guys,
Dropped off the hood today and snapped a pic. I'm unsure of how well I trust this so called good body guy.

Anyway..

This may be irrelevant but....

You guys are lucky in the US/Europe.

If that car was here, it would IMMEDIATELY be turned into a scrap. No one would spend $1 to repair an accident for a car 3+ year old.

I guess that is the way things are over here, but i am sure glad to see that some of you out there try your best to fix accident cars

Ouch! Good time to take off that nasty charcoal cannister!

WesM951

she's in sad shape, but i'll get her all fixed up

Whats with the charcoal cannister?

hosrom_951

That is for the fuel vapor system. If you look on the driver's side when the hood up. You would find two valves (A control vale and a vacuum valve) that connect to that thermo valve, aka 'rabbit ears' which take the fuel fumes/smells and dumps it into the canister.

Kind of scary looks more like a junk yard than a body shop

Is there any good to remove the charcol canister? Any performance gain like removing the cat?

NZ951

Not like the cat, but damn is it heavy! Also cleans up the engine bay and less risk of vac leak... I put a fuel filter on the line near the tank, zero fuel smells...
