What brake fluid are you running and how old is it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is always room for a turbo. Just need to decide if you like how the bulkhead looks. [emoji23] Or go for a huge sidemount turbo over the gearbox. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Couldn’t agree more. I went through a phase of wanting a car that everybody else likes. Then realised I don’t like the same as other people. Most idiots are all about badge snobbery and 0-60 times. I’d rather having something that I think is cool and makes me smile when I drive it. Sent...

With the awning 4 of us are ok. My wife and the youngest slept in the van and I slept in the awning with the oldest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First trip complete. One night test at a local campsite. Forgot a few things but nothing a rock and and Chinese takeaway couldn’t sort. Next on the list. Adapt the roof rack (chop it up) so all the camping stuff can be carried their instead of in the van. For some curtains and a proper...

Quick trip up to Perth this afternoon with a half day off work to use up. Had the van booked in to Scott-Glaze to get the rear window removed to refit the correct VW trim. Also had the rear glass and side windows tinted for some privacy in the back. Well chuffed with how it looks. I’ll put...

It’s ok for storage actually. Big glove box and two cubbies on the drivers side. I’ll paint it black and fit a double din apple car play stereo. It’s not the prettiest dash but more is the rest of the design of the van. Squares everywhere. I did come across a leather cover which is quite...

And to finish off this chapter. A run to south queensferry and an ice cream with the family. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can’t lower the whole subframe. That will have the opposite effect. You couldn’t realistically raise it either. Personally. I just run near standard ride height with good coilovers, stiff springs and the right damping. I don’t have to correct the roll centre and I know my wheels will...

MOT passed. I’m going to have a few weeks off doing s**t with cars. Need a break for the motivation. This does need Windows tinting in the rear. Curtains for the rear Roof rack modified to make it nicer. Rear bike rack painted Something done with the dash. Paint or maybe flock it...

Today is MOT day. Progress on the van over the last week or so has seen the interior pretty much finished. New cab carpet down. Very happy with it. Seat back in and bolted down. Excuse the mess. Front seats in. I’ll get a swivel base on the passenger seat in time. Front...

Has anyone managed to go the OBD connector working with the Gen90? Assuming it’s CAN bus type I’ve seen this done before the the correct pin out info. Reason I ask, I really want brake and accelerator inputs for my in car video. My timing app can pick these up from a Bluetooth OBD connector...

I don’t but it came that way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lining complete, side window refitted and flooring down. Also confirmed today that my van carpet will arrive on Monday. This was a long lead time, ordered in March with 8-10 week estimate. and was starting to get on my tits that it hadn’t arrived. Phoned them this morning and they...

It’s very good. So much better than my black gold 182. It’s an ATB so would love to try a car with a gripper on that hill to see what the difference is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only good if they are actually selling some. Which they are not to me anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve made a few life choices recently which means I’ll hopefully be using this car more over the summer having used it only 2-3 times last year. 1) I got rid of the daily BMW. It’s freed up a load of cash and I have the clio, classic mini and a VW T4 van that is pretty much finished. 2) I’ve...

Decent result today got the remaining insulation in the ply panels screwed on and one side of the stretch carpet done. Very pleased with how it’s looking. What people say is true, a very forgiving and easy material to work with. Passenger side tomorrow then it on to trining the individual trim...

Feels very much like the final stretch. Wheel arches deadened / insulated. This took ages but doing it like this means you can lay the stretch carpet straight on to it and it will take the contours of the arch and look nice. Then insulated the floor, leaving space for where the bed...

Just saw this Dave. Now wishing I didn’t just splash out £40 on new pressed plates[emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s crossed my mind. See how I feel when it’s finished. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been cracking on with the interior starting with painting the front door cards. Quite happy with how they have turned out with a 2k matte black. but they do seem to mark easily so they might need a lacquer of some sort. Then it was a case of the sound deadening and insulation for...

How was the car handling? Good balance? Looks like they have taken a lot of toe out, out. Knockhill has some higher speed corners so probably not a bad setup. You fancy joining us on the hills? Forrestburn should be opening up for track days again soon. It’s dirt cheap at £30-£40 a time...

Yeah. It’s a bit more complicated that SD HD though. They also give you more devices to stream on concurrently. Basic- 1 device, SD Standard 2 devices HD Premium 4 devices UHD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s amazing. Don’t get me wrong the monthly rent feels painful but where I live it’s cheap as compared to city centres. I would hate to be crawling about under cars on jacks and axel stands again. This is 5 minutes walk from my house. I’ve had it 5 years now and it’s an absolute god send...

Spent the last few days cleaning out and painting my unit. Will need to get some nice wall art once it’s all done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New brakes all round yesterday. Loving how this looks now. Also got the rock and roll bed done. It needed holes drilling in the floor and strengthener or spreader plates to make it safe. They say you just need to bolt them through with some silicon but I’ve welded them and welded the nuts so...

I was going to go anthracite. Happy with the black. Just need to paint the callipers and get some centre caps to break it up a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New wheels on. Very happy with how this looks. Might bring the front end up a little. Now hunting for some tyre black. [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s the big sexy van got a face finally. I’ve fitted a few other bits like door handles. Almost time for the MOT. I think I’ll just wait until everything is done inside and out before that though. One thing though. I’m getting sick of working on this thing now. Just want it done already...
