I just wrote something out but bloody IE lost it :dapprove:
£500 is far too much! Where abouts do you live mate? Someone may be able to point you in the direction of a more reasonably priced specialist. I had mine done at birchdown (http://www.birchdown.com/timing.html), as you can see the...
Re: One Year on & £3000 spent
Looks awesome! Where did you relocate your ECU to? Ended up bolting mine on top of the gearbox mount, couldn't think of anywhere else to put it!
Re: iPhone "must have" apps?
Seems like other people have had problems with the latest copilot update then! Mine worked flawlessly before :( It picks up a signal ok (although slower than before), but then randomly thinks I'm somewhere else every now and then :S
Mine's not exactly 'stipped', but I have no rear seats just buckets and harnesses. Do about 16k a year in em, never bothered me in the slightest! If you get the 'right' seats and harnesses it's easy to live with imo.
Just outside Hinckley mate, can't say I've seen you either :p
Roy, I was going for like an oem+ theme so left the Renault stickers on, but it probably would look better without!
Again, thanks for all the comments! :approve:
Haha I've kinda decided against them tbh, cups with silver wheels are getting a bit rare now! :p Unfortunately they don't stay clean for long enough!
Thanks very much for all the comments :o
lol, it does get mixed opinions! I love it though, think it looks and sounds spot on!
lol, I've been toying going for gloss black bits, but you can't beat how silver wheels come up!
They were refurbed by Freddy himself a few months back, finish is spot on!
Cheers guys! :o
riz: it's an OMP, they don't make them any more though!
gaz: Cheers! Always loved yours, looks pretty similar I guess :p
Daniel: Don't tend to post pics often, stopped updating my blog too as I thought it was lousy!
Every time I clean the car to go and take some pics the sun goes in, so I thought I'd get a few snaps on the drive!
And a quick snap of the bay:
Looks a little different now, but fancied putting these up anyway! Apologies about the rusty discs :o
Comments welcome :)
Some american geezers did a test with 2 engines, one was ragged from new (but brought to temp first), and the other was 'run in' as per the manufactures guidelines.
They stripped both engines down after x miles, and the ragged one was in better condition than the 'run in' one. Supposedly makes...
Nice progress!
You need spacers for the OMP frames otherwise they don't sit level. I spent ages trying to get mine to sit right and I still don't think they sit level! :(
Regarding 2 yeh I've heard quite a few people's do it, but mine never used to! Was since I changed the plugs... Might take them out an re-torque em again just to make sure they're not letting any oil through.
I'd forgot about the TDC sensor, will have a look at this cheers!
A few little niggles with the car atm so I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction...
1. Got a slight knock from the drivers side wheel arch area. I can only really hear it when braking reasonably hard as I come to a stop (as the car kind of 'sits' back). Possibly a...
