Sorry mate, I cant get a pic of that I dont think although I have tried on my phone, I just need to get the cable wherever its gone, I didnt think they'd help lol. I cant go to Trax now sadly, but I'll get these pics off my phone up soon.
It wasn't ;) There has been a couple of drops of oil on the drive so I've been checking it weekly, and topping it up if it needed it. The mechanic who was doing the job didn't have a clue so he's drained it. Radiator to be checked shortly..
MSL said they would have charged £300, you can see its been done cheaply though seriously. as the alignment was being done today I had a look under the car, and had to tighten the bolts up on the turbo as they were loose. I had to put in 2.5litres of oil Dan, thats more that 0.5l missing ;)
I'll...
I cant believe its managed it either, I cant even imagine the damage it might have caused to it. As soon as I topped it up (2.5litres = half way between min and max!) smoke was pooring out, its not smoking at the moment after driving it back home but anything could have gone, the turbo will no...
They didn't put any fluids back in it!!!! The oil light flashed at me today as I was on my way to get the alignment done, so as I parked it at the garage I dipped it to check, and there was no oil at all in the engine, not even a slight mark on the dipstick!!! Looked at the coolant bottle and...
Right ok, I'm not sure if this is what you were after mate but these are the only pictures I could get of the downpipe/exhaust housing area lol. Sorry if they arent any good but to actually get to the turbo I need the car up on ramps...
Im not having a look under the car in this weather mate haha, its pissing it down and I'd have to get on the floor to look under it. I'll try tomorrow if its dry.
Well I've got my car back after much arguing and haggling and it still cost me a fortune! The garage who eventually fixed it did it properly but they would normally charge £300 for the conversion!!! They settled for just over £100. So, pick up car and set off home. It drives which is a good...
;) Cheers dude. Whats the difference between a red top and a black top, ahh its not worth the arguing lol. Gaz, I'm the other way around mate I like the front end on the 14a but Im not a fan of the rest. Let me know if your going Dan we can catch up again dude.
I said interesting, not something I'm gonna do haha. it would be quick with the 2jz in, but corners would probably be a problem.
Sorted, I went into the garage its now been moved to and they've rotated the core of the turbo and the lines they have got are S14 lines because the mechanic at the...
For the longest time I was complaining about the minimal power gain until spending money between an SR and CA considering the SR is a bigger therefore heavier engine. However, I have heard that the SR is an Alloy engine and the CA is Iron so apparently the SR is lighter than a CA? Either way, I...
CA-SR isn't enough of an upgrade for the work. I'll maybe consider an RB when I've been able to compare the weight differences etc. Even then I still really wanna go with a big power CA18, however having seen the RR graphs and the curve for a 700hp S13 on a CA18DET I'm not sure if more than...
I'm about as mechanically minded as a fish, I normally stick to one of 2 garages who I trust 100% but they were fully booked, so I thought I'd try this place because the original price was ok and they've been absolute stars when I've needed bodywork before. They are predominantly a bodyshop...
Good argument, based on that post I have to ask, have you owned a 1.0 with a huge chavvy bodykit before? Did all yours boys tell you it looked ace bruv? Are these the same guys saying they like the front end of your 200? Are you sure they are not just a little bit simple/drunk/'influenced'? If...
OK, after printing off the above quote and taking it into the garage on Monday the 24th of August, I still dont have my car back!! I wont slate the garage I took it to (yet) because in the past they have been brilliant but I've only had bodywork done there before.
I dropped it in on Monday...
heh, every RS in the past has looked different from the standard model without having a hideous nose. I bet all of the 106 owners friends/any-one he put on the spot would say they think it looked good, especially loving the huge rear wing or whatever the really obvious controversial bit would...
Fine with me. Do we wanna just go straight there over the motorways or do we wanna do a bit of a run first to get there? I could put up a poll and everything lol..
I'll be honest though, most people turn the heads for the exact same reason as they turn their heads when a 106 rocks past with an OTT Jap style bodykit without being lowered, ie 'wtf is that and why would any-one think it looks good' kinda stare. I like the reviews about how the 200 drives, but...
OK, so why dont we do a run over to Leeds, then RR day at RSTuning in November? I'm thinking we can do it as a run over the moors to start off with to get to Leeds then come back over the M62 or Something?
