No updates as such been busy the last month with farming and work in general.
Have my M.O.T at the start of April though so will probably just be tidying the car up and then hopefully get a good bit more work done after that.
Plans are;
Sport seats
172 parts painted and fitted
De-cat
and...
Not really. Town driving was fine and had no problems. It was more the fact that i would be driving on country roads most days and when I hit a bump in the road at around 60 it rubbed with the car hunkering down. So if your going 40 at the rear you'll be fine even with people in the back.
Not tried front yet but i still have half a wheel bolt stuck in one of my front thats i need to get taken out so will try them when i manage to get that done :P
Not sure on the offset mate. Spacers were 16mm and the car was on 60mm springs. Got them off now anyway though so will either sell them or stick them back on again when i have the 172 bumpers sorted.
Got my spacers fitted today before work.
Went from this.
To this.
Was pretty happy with it until the drive home. Any sizeable dip in the road and I'm rubbing the arch :/. Gonna need to get them off sharpish.
Also a few other snaps from today.
Well this is how my engine bay looks now. I think its a bit untidy and want an engine cover but have no clue where to get hands on one for a Ph1.
Other than that i dont have a clue on how i would go about making it tidier looking. Maybe coloured lines or something but don't know yet.
Cheers mate worked a treat :) will hopefully get a few pictures took in the light tomorrow. The smaller breather pipe had a bit of smoke coming from it earlier after a bit of a hard drive. Is this normal with it being a breather or do I need to have a look into it ?
Also does anyone know if a...
Not checked properly yet just a quick skim. Thought it would be handier to check here first.
I had thought that at first but the guy i bought it off said he didnt have a plate for it and ive seen it on his car a few weeks back and his is a 1.2.
He has a Ph2 though but i wouldnt think they...
Sealed up around my aerial to see if that sorts it and then decided to go all out and give the car a clean as it was filthy.
Started with the wheel as they were awful.
Dont have any pictures of them cleaned yet as it started chucking down half way through them so didnt even get to start the...
was a weird blur thing i did and liked it on the 197 so i just copied all the settings and threw them onto the rest as well haha. Was a bit lazy about it.
Ahh hadnt checked your page in a few days :).
They came out well :). Really wanting the 172 front end on mine now though :/.
Anyway had a bit of a tinker in photoshop with them cause im meant to be asleep.
3 sitting all together. Maybe get them up tomorrow when I'm off. There's a sportex one there but it's fairly loud, nice few pops and bangs though on over run when I had it on.
