Engines gone pop?

Gave it a quick clean yesterday to see what it's going to need bodywork wise and get some protection on the paint. Seems to be in really good condition, going to need some paint on the rear bumper, a few rusting stone chips touch ups and the usual filler cap fix. The spoiler also had a bad...

True, but it’s big jump financially and time wise hiring people, so I can appreciate why people don’t do it.

It’s the usual blueprint of getting popular, struggling to keep up with the orders without cutting corners, then shutting down when it becomes too much.

Planning similar myself soon, What paint did you use?

Word of mouth, It was 5 mins walk from my house.

Mate had his plates cloned after sticking pictures up on the web, saving myself the hassle.

Already been there once and spent far to much.. Just want this to be a nice car to drive on a sunny afternoon.

Once I’ve flogged the cat out of it, will be effectively a free car too. :ROFLMAO:

Picked this up today for £400, 55k miles on the clock but it hasn’t moved in 5 years. Started almost straight away on the key to my surprise, sounds like the water pumps knackered and the rear brakes are seized on so had to drag it back. Plan is minimal mods but renewing everything so that...

You will need a piece to match up to the olive joint on the cat, or cut it off and weld on a sleeve joint.

What’s the £500 for it’s £115 on the dvla?

Just take a trailer test it’s pretty easy to pass, All you have to do is reverse it into a parking space, drive down the road for 10 minutes then unhook it.

Those of you with 4-5+ cars how are you dealing with insurance? Especially for cars that are going to sit on the drive for a while getting repaired, don’t get much use etc.

yes, But you can also get at it underneath by removing the wheel and arch liner.

If you haven't got any leaks then a seized rear caliper can also cause this.

Subsribed on the tube. Tho a first glance I thought it said minstrel motorsport, which I thought was a bold move.

Not really related but I'm sure I saw someone fit a set of porsche 3 pots to a clio, but possibly I dreamt it.

Are they wifi ones? I assume they work with any router too.

Looking to get the internet extended into the detached garage at the back of my house roughly 20m away, I've got electric in there with its own fuseboard. Any know if powerlines work across circuits and at that distance.

Figured this can go in here as well, Ktec Ultra performance exhaust ideas on price? Not my pic.

What money did people pay for the advanced 200 set? currently £260 but I'm sure Ive seen it cheaper.

Pretty sure my washer bottle is full of gunk thats blocking up the pumps, anyone had success using anything to clean it out without actually removing the thing?

Same company as milwaukee now so the newer stuffs much better. I've got an older version which is ok but it struggles with stuff thats really tight, I think the 400Nm rating is optimistic.

Well tbf I'm not sure you can class what started life as a luguna/espace engine high performance.... :LOL:

My cars got some steel brackets, no idea who made them but never had any issues 5 years and 60 000 odd miles.

Its basically just got the soot cleaner stuff in it so usually works out cheaper to just buy a bottle for a few quid and chuck that in with normal fuel.

Unless you've got something special I wouldn't bother, just get some redex if you want to give the system a clean.

You can get a Bluetooth to aux adapter, which would be the cheapest and keep the volume control.

Done it multiple times on various cars with an electric pump, never had any issues. Also means you can pump the old oil straight into a container and not piss about with a funnel. Older version of this I think is what I've got...
