u2 must be better drivers than the rest of us tho, with super quick replexus to catch the super-quick break way handling characteristics of the car lol..........im only an average skilled driver, and like to have some lift-off fun.........as good as i get.........ill stick to -40mm lol ;)
neva seen that stuff before...............was £5 for the hammerite. Someone asked if i had a pic of the full car, i do in the camera at home, ill upload it at some point this weekend mate, cheers, Rob
i aint got any tickets or anything, not sure about the funds, trying to concentrate on gettin the motor lowered as i get pain in the next few days. ill prob start wi southport n go to the shows fromthen
i took it easy on my 1.2 16v, ran it in gently, then slowly worked it up....................and my gearbox hasnt had ANY problems yet.........touch wood :oops:
only problem i have had that could be looked upon as major (not really tho) was having to have the oil sump refitted due to a leking gasket!? If you take care of it n dont abuse it too much (like in 1st gear)............it should be a great wee car for you! i love mine and its Value for money...
i like your style...................there is a lot to be said for a drilled airbox lol!!! only problem with modding the standard kit is its a bit of a pint for warranty jobs, as something like that would be frowned upon. i agree with your idea however!
hard to say, i was advised to use hammerite by someone who has had it on his for ages......its summer......dont bother me if i have to do it all again lol. how much was the halfords stuff?
nah the left side (looking from the font) is totally open, the radiator covers the right hand side. i need to get hold of a bigger bore pipe as im using an old pipe off our nackered Panasonic Hoover!!! lol...... 1.5" diameter lol
.......on the subject of wet handling also.......lowering n uprated suspension is less proggresive, more a case of grip grip grip gone...........SsSsSsS (<-- those are u spinning lol). Soft suspension makes your car lean more, n u have more time to react and deal with whatever the car is up...
well, it cant be much bigger than my 1.2 so, u see the grill where the www. is???? left hand side......there should be a blanking plate behind the grille i would imagine, cut a circle in it, stick a pipe in it and steer it to wherever the hell u want! thats what ive got on mine!air taken from...
it actually makes the car slower wi the extra weight of the paint! lol! i aint got a pic of the whole car but ill get one for ya at the weekend hopefully mate
..........axle stands.............they held the car up..........good enough for me lol! Ill be ordering the apex springs as soon as i get paid at the end of the month!
i rubbed them wi a wire brush, and sprayed some serious chemical cleaner on them for good measure lol! i would think a good rub would be enough! Red for yours i assume? would look good. All was done wi the calipers inplace, i just took the wheels off........i aint that good lol, i taped off the...
Alright paddy, remember when Rob was telling us to use Hammerite at the JJB meet............he was right lol!!! little £5 tub of hammerite! just took my time in the sunshine.........cant think of a much better way to spend a sunny sunday
.....before i go and get the standard dynamique / 172 spoiler painted, how much is it for a plastic Cup spoiler? i think its plastic anyway! Im just wondering how much it would be to get a cup spoiler and painted silver??? any ideas?
...nice weather and Sundays seem to lead to a bit of tinkering with the car lately! which is always good! I went to get some Red Paint earlier, although with my car being very silverish / blue, i thought Red might be a bit of a clash! Anyways, turns out there was no red paint anyway, so i got...
