Paint stripper doesn't seem to work! :/

Might get myself a set at the end of the month :) keep the good work up though!

surely you would get the tyres that fit the wheel? 215/45/17 would fit nicely though

Bloody hell thats nice! where did you get the grill from? I want one now haha, I dont know if its just me but your front arches seem more out than mine do hmm, I think I need a splitter and sides too :/

Yesterday I started stripping the wheels back and smoothing the bummps out, I bought myself some 40 60 400 and 1000 sandpaper and started rubbing away with the 40, wasn't working so I dug out my sander and loaded it up, still not even touching it :dead: So decided to take a trip to B&Q for some...

Handbrake makes it rwd obviously

I had this once, took me ages to figure out that the exhaust mount was actually hitting the car only slightly causing a vibration and the sound to travel into the inside, It was louder when moving off or in idle when there is the most movement in the exhaust. solved it by putting a little bit of...

I like em and that is what matters :) too many smoothed cars nowadays, might get some neons.. jk lol

chances are you have built up static charge while washing it and all small particles become attracted in a dust like fashion, as above I think anti static formulars are worth a shot, I use antistatic stuff on my dash otherwise every little bit of crap attaches itself to that after a clean

This is what it looks like under the bonnet (btw that big air filter has been removed!) What you think? also what should I do to the air box?

Quick update, Today I have given the battery cover a colour change :), gonna wait for it to dry and see what it looks like inside, not sure if i am gonna like it

it was just a thought :) with the TCE being only costing a little bit more, as much as I like my car I wish ide have gone for something else

I wouldnt mind a Ford cosworth Turbo mmm, Im asshamed that the wifes car is quicker and faster and lowered :/

Ill strip it and spoon myself an extra 100cc outa it haha

I thought that might be the case :/ when you say expensive what would you say? I think I might end up saving up and buying myself a project car

I have myself a 1.2 Extreme 16v, then they later released the Turbo version featuring an extra 25bhp but still a 1.2, my thought was is it possible to get hold of a Turbo and fit it to my standard 1.2? Im stuck with the car at the moment so selling isnt an option but I do miss the power. If...

could you not powerwash it off?

I had a 1.1 Peugeot 106 and my Saxo VTS that both Popped, the 106 had a pin prick hole in the manifold and tricked the car into thinking it needed more fuel and that popped like crazy on demand when letting the revs fall after 5k, it still had its cat! and got through its MOT fine. The saxo was...

I thought it may before i put it in but actually the combination sounds quite good, without it I can only achieve low frequency from the back, its a short term solution :)

Well I thought I would finally start myself a progress blog as a few have been saying I should. Progress aint going to be fast by any means, nor will it be that interesting to be honest as I am getting married next weekend and I am a little financially crippled. Just to summerise: Done so...

Hmm, Might have to have a trip out and see what places have nd have a listen. I suppose its one of those things where everyone has there own preference. How would i get an audio wire into the front doors? the door loom is socketed in my car. did the roof stuff work? I dont even know what...
