Cheap hoses?
Monday, June 11, 2007 5:18 PM
I need a 3/4" ID hose about 8 inches long, it needs to be extremely flexible. It's for my dads Miata, there are two tubes that go off the intake. One to the valve cover and another to something else..not sure what, but I need the hose regardless, it's an aftermarket intake and it didn't come with a hose : /

Like something I can get locally, checked PepBoys and all they had was heater hose which is not flexible enough.

If you have a NAPA near you try them. I have always been able to get any type of hose cut to length from there. From small vacuum line to huge fuel filler neck hose they should have it in back.

Good luck,

Go to the sleaziest part of town.. probably where the buses don't run. You'll have to have at least a $5 bill, but you may want to go with 3-4 $5's. Either way, you're going to want to bring at least 6 different anti-bacterial soaps, and you are gonna want to at least double wrap.

If you're going to go slumming for cheap hos'es... you'll want to make sure you're protected as well.

^ 2 things, 1. I want to move to where you're at..ho's cost at least 20$. 2. Protection is only for sailors, bloody bastards going from port to port.

I went to Autozone, Carquest, O'reily's, and Pep Boys..all they have is your standard heater hose which is too stiff. I'm thinking about getting some pvc and squeezing it inside the heater hose to give me some 90 degree angles. Is there anything you can think of I could get at like Wal-Mart or something that would fit my situation...I hate ordering and having to wait a week or so.
