Anymore thoughts on this?

Yep its off the main road. You'd have to go to bury and jump on the M66 for 1 junction towards m60 if you want to avoid the 50mph zone but it'll be just as much hassle . You can get there through heywood and the back roads to come under the M66 if you know it well enough. u

Although I doubt this'll affect many... Croft Lane is closed so you have to get there from the M66 :/

I hope you're bringing the romance. It's not one of my skills...

I'm in. I'm feeling an all day breakfast again...

I didn't know I could reply in here any more. I'll be up for this when I can make it.

I'd be up for it, sunday would be best for me if we're doing december.

Head gasket failure :banghead::cry: DCMS are going to strip the head down and ring me with what else has broke at some point. I wont give up this thing will work again!!!

Haha cheers for the comment!

Yeah i think we probably do jon haha! Ooo car friends. The mpg seems to be pretty good so far but we'll see. Autotrader claims 38mpg combined. Ive done 190 miles since i filled up and its used 1/3rd of a tank? the roof wrap was done by the previous owner but i actually think i kinda like it...

Nice car ;)

The Ignis Sport was starting to upset me tbh and it had broke down for trivial things leaving me car less twice in the past couple of months so I went on a hunt to replace it. I looked at RX8s, 350z's all kinds of silly cars. I went into a local garage to have a look at an RX8 on the forecourt...

The engine might need the head stripping down and building back up again. the no.4 spark plug shattered so some of the ceramic might have dropped down, if its managed to find its way into the bottom end its a full rebuild but thats really unlikely :( I'll get a thread up for the BM this weekend...

Hey guys sorry for the lack of updates, basically i got the boost controller fitted but mustve knocked the AFM when i did it. I literally drove down my estate and then back again with it unplugged and it cut out and flooded. I tried to change the spark plugs and dry 'em out a bit but cylinder...

Naith if it runs I aint touching it haha!! I dont want to go Nato Green, I genuinely dont like the colour I'd rather go satin black or may even try and get it back to the original colour although I highly doubt it. I think that I might have had the problems with the controller due to the vac...

As promised, some photo's... You'll notice that its been neglected for many many years haha. Lets start with the new heart though, new CA18DET with FMIC, T28, Apex'i Induction Kit, Apex Boost Controller, Apex cat back exhaust and a stage 2 chip: Its still a work in motion, first of all the...

Sorry guys, car blew an intercooler hose on Weds, its not going anywhere :/

It was 2009 mate yeah, before you got the panzer IIRC? And yeah it won an award off of Tom haha, services to engineering or something equally ridiculous! Chorley Street have a lot of experience with fords, but it seems that about it. They can do just about anything with a cossie engine but...

Cheers Dave. I could never scrap it and wouldn't have been able to sell it. I cant really explain why but i've never enjoyed owning any other car quite like i love owning this one :s I just dont trust chopped springs jamie. Lowering springs are under £100 its not worth the risk. 1st up will...

I'd love one if it ever does ;) So about the car... Those of you who once followed the thread will remember that I had a tendency to do everything the wrong way 1st time round, live with it until it failed then try again.. Well the last time I had the car running the turbo blew and chucked...

haha! Does it come in sticker form?

Of course mate, team member for life haha. I'm glad its back on the road, its going to a specialist on Friday to get the timing and the boost set up and a decent check over then its back to doing everything wrong and making me and others smile :D

I might try and come up in ye olde car that some older members will remember :)

So, 2 years later... http://youtu.be/vF_cszdIadkhttp://youtu.be/vF_cszdIadk

This Sunday was the plan, next Sunday is mothers day like you said.

Well this is a roaring success..

Does anyone fancy meeting up next Sunday at The Papermill in Bury for a spot of lunch and maybe weather permitting a drive? Meet at 1pm at the pub, get some food and decide from there? Names please if you're interested. 1. Kneel

I'll probably be there, and hopefully not in an Ignis :)

I could actually do with an excuse to go and give that XXL burger another go, its almost as high as the pint glass it comes next too...

Ahhh Bury pub meet, its been a while...
