Basically, my car gets up to normal operating temperature fine - stays at half way when cruising at 60 etc. But when I slow down to 2nd/1st/Reverse gear the temperature gauge randomly goes up, sometimes all the way to maximum (with engine STOP lights on the dash) but then as soon as it's gone...
So this is my first car, and i've just about owned it for 2 years now.
I've been constantly adding little bits and pieces and it's getting to the point now where I'm not going to be able to return it back to standard.
Basically, for whatever reason insurance on a sport is still sky high after 2...
Finally got my hands on a PH3 front bumper!
It's a little scruffy, but i plan on chopping it up & welding some bits of a sport bumper on which i got from mocod who was kind enough to chop up his bumper for me, so it doesn't really matter anyway.
I'll get round to colour coding it in a couple of...
Before reading on, please note that:
1) It's not finished
2) At this moment in time, I have absolutely No intention of fitting a full RS kit
3) It's going to get 1*2 widetracked next year.
Right, after much research, it seemed that nobody had really attempted to run RS arches with a standard...
No, me neither, but I though I'd give it a try! ;)
The day started out like this.
Wheels completely lost in the front arches, not quite positive camber, but not far off.
I disliked this. Alot!
So, I posted up a wanted thread for some 25mm spacers, and yesterday they arrived courtesy of...
Won them pretty cheap on Ebay yesterday, collected them last night, trial fitted them today...
What do we think?
(apologies for the rubbish phone camera pic's - DSLR was dead :( )
Definately in need of refurb - probably just in silver again tbh!
although i remember rosssei's one with...
Anyone else broken one?
I managed to snap the end bit off somehow, so i cannae get the wheel off.
Seemed like it was made from cheese - very weak! :rolleyes:
Where will drill it out? Local tyre fitting garage?
I'll also need a replacement, I assume they'll do them there?
After seeing the Group Buy on non-sport 'Rokkor' coilovers (which look pretty identical to "Raceland" ones) i decided the price was too good to miss!
After a lot of fettling with the ride height, lots of scraping and a battered splitter, I've finally acheived a height I'm happy with...
What size are they supposed to be? 12mm?
Ordered some from k-tec and they will not fit in the hole!
EDIT:would these fit?

As my current one is cracked, stonechipped and generally knackered, it'll need replacing.
Although I can't decide which to go for and would like your opinions :)
Phase 2
Phase 3
or even possibly a Campus one?
Although I've no 'shops of one as I can't find any decent pictures of them!
Hope...
Got round to fitting the 60mm SPAX springs i ordered from www.visionracingdevelopments.co.uk
Big thanks to Rich (R1XPH) for being really helpful & very quick with delivery, would recommend to anyone! :D

Also got round to sorting out the donkey c**k hanging from the rear...
.. one year into ownership.
Been on here for quite a while now and it's been a godsend tbh. Some really tastefully done cars and it's probably saved me from adding any old tat to it!
Started out as a 2002 1.2 16v Extreme, not quite poverty spec, but not far off!
i've not got any progress...
My car has pretty much died, running really rough, will idle rediculously and cut out... lights on dashboard etc.
I understand the metal cover rubs on some wires causing irratic running amongst other things.
wires are visible ETC.
What is it that i need to replace? (what's the name of it?)...
Right... either i'm being completely stupid, or this kit is wrong..
i've got a 2002 dynamique, 172 xenons and an aftermarket HID kit.
D2S bulb is fine, connects up fine, but i'm completely stumped as to where the hell these connect to?!
i feel retarded :o...
