Another update. Although the weather was crappy today we got quite a bit done. Picked up the xenons from Dave and John on here and was roped into buying a RS grille as well.
Got back to the garage, flattened and machine polished the headlights as they were really cloudy. Started striping...
So managed to source a 172 passenger seat and finished fitting it all. New carpets, underlay and doorcards also. Interior is smelling 100% better now. When all the carpets were up, I scrubbed the floor with anticeptic detergent stuff which helped.
Had to remove the rogered dipstick tube using...
I got my RSR's for £81 a corner. Done around 5k and they are holding up well. One of the tyres has showed signs of this common cracking issue but doesn't effect performance. For the money I can't fault them.
Paintwork: Car & Bike Bonnybridge, myself, martin_172 and noddie have used him. Top bloke and has painted some special vehicles over the years, also sponsors a porche in the SMRC.
And as above Progrip. Cant fault them!
I'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to photography, I have a DSLR and enjoy playing with it. Thats as far as my knowledge goes. However Ive acquired this retro camera. A canon AE-1 program. It came with the base camera, 28mm, 50mm (x2), and 200mm lenses, top mounted flash, additional base...
On the audi do they have a dedicated feed for the LEDs? I'd imagine if you were fitting them on the clio you might need a resistor or two to dim it down so its a soft light?
Well things are coming on good now. Spent a few days at it and happy with the progress.
All head seals fitted, valves reground, tappets adjusted.
Timing belt kit fitted
New water pump fitted
Head bolts
Head gasket
New plugs
New coil pack (suspect fault and cause of misfire)
New aux belts
Oil...
Ive got the usual trimmed plate on my 182. Ive been fined in total £120 and had two 21 day slips. Cops round my way are a joke!
I had an arguement with him regarding HID headlights without projecors, asked him why he wasnt pulling the mass of little fannies with them that were attending some...
Even if its looking a little rough round the edges, someone has invested some time, thought and money into it. As said above, with a little more time etc I'd imagine it could be a seriously fast and capable toy!
I kinda like the shed sleeper look it has lol, imagine the fun that could be had.
If the noise is relative to rotation (making a humming noise that is linked to speed), or makes a little more noise when cornering, its possibly a wheel bearing. Not an uncommon fault.
Mate had one on a golf. Was one of the kits with small elec compressor and some air lines to two different horn trumpets. Sounded a bit like a fish van tbh lol.
It wasn't one like a truck air horn.
