Lol @bloke

So who is it that’s making these covers now?

Yes I live in Killamarsh but my mother use to live in Woodthorpe on the housing estate at the bottom. I use to regularly drink in the Albert :)

You from Woodthorpe near Staveley mate @AshyC GT

I found it very nice to drive just cruising but like you say get it wrong with the boost near a corner and it did test your driving skills :) :)

Yes a real shame! Unless it’s somebody flipping it on for a small profit maybe - or couldn’t get insurance when they listed the mods.

Not bad @Coops Mk1 :)

Thanks mate.

Actually on the job list is to fit my new coolant tank and refresh the coolant (but it will remain green).

RB Clio A few bits done under the bonnet. Fitted 2.0 16v decal on the engine cover. Sprayed the cover a couple of months ago. Sprayed the engine lift bracket: Also fitted my “fatty” induction from the Trophy and this how it’s looking so far.

That’s a shame mate.

One of these mate:

I think you get a discount for being a previous owner ;) Thanks mate. It’s a Chinese job - think it was about a tenner. The whole set up takes a bit of time as prep is key but basically make sure the car is level across front and rear axles and use the rear discs face as zero degree marker and...

Yes I still have it, lol.

Thanks mate but he was a total enthusiast (if it’s the same chap) who also has a Gtturbo.

I will have to take a look at Pistonheads - how much is it? Not sure on the true costs but I’m sure it’s £250 + per shaft but very worth it.

Trophy Finally fitted my group buy front Sachs suspension struts. I suspected my old ones needed a refurb and found one to be soft and not returning quick enough. Old v’s New Fitted: Old ones removed and for sale if any one is interested.

What have you sprayed mate?

RB182 Change of coilovers. Bought some Spax adjustable coilovers from @Ardvark172 a few weeks back, gave them a full inspection and all good :) so gave them a refurb and fitted them this morning. I had fun and games setting the camber but with the help of my Chinese camber tool we got there...

Good update Ben. Is that Mick's valver I see? I thought he was selling it?

Put some copper grease on the hub face when you re-fit.

Sounds like the wheels are stuck on the hubs. Lie down on your back and boot the tyre at the 3 o clock and 9 o clock mark. Rotate wheel slightly and repeat until the wheel comes loose.

No matey I’m not but I know the car as the previous owner is on here. Thanks Chris mate.

Thanks Louis - they’re quite easy to remove but can be stuck on the spindles shafts due to rust. If they’re stuck on, undo the 13mm nut slightly and give the nut a tap with a hammer whilst pulling on the wiper arm up and they eventually come free. I cleaned the shaft spindles up with a wire...

Should be good then mate.

Trophy Spent a few hours in the evening past couple of days and got a couple of jobs done done that let the car down a bit. Headlight restoration (yes I know there xenon/none cup). Took a couple of hours but came out like new. Usual routine of 400 to 1500 wet and dry then polished with...

Sorry mate just seen your message and thanks for the kind words. Racing Blue will probably be for sale soon mate, just a couple of small jobs to do :)

Are they the Irish based company? If so yes they’re very good - I have loads of paint from them including liquid yellow and been good.

If it is a solenoid you need Darren - they’re plenty on eBay for about a tenner - piece of p1ss to fit.

What a pile of sh1te!!
