Ignoring that bit, you made a decent post, so Im going to ignore the first sentance.
I agree about that, and personally I wouldnt pay 2k for a Valver engine to go in, say, an RT.. You COULD buy a decent Valver for that, sell your RT and make it mint with that money - I can see that. Hands up...
heh, its cool how people say Subarus are crap.. but then want a Clio. I love Clios as much as anyone else, but an Impreza STi is in a TOTALLY different league.
If someone gave me the choice of an DB7 or an Impreza STi with PPP, I know for sure Id go for the STi. Everytime. Infact, there...
heh, That camera gets some use :)
Well, a Mint Willy 3 would be very nice.. Get Lous for a week when her Gearbox is done! :D Sure she wouldnt mind..
Daz.
Mark thinking of getting a Williams? I reckon your FRST is too mint for a swap though! Youd SO have to keep both.
(yea, I am the Daz who stood and spoke to you crazy FT.com people for ages at Trax :))

Uh, sure they fit in.. mine fitted perfectly.. just the only extra dial which worked was temperature.
I am pretty sure dials from a 1993 RT would go straight in and work (inc. rev counter) - I doubt the oil level will though.
As I said for mine, the rev counter didnt work - but thats because...
but then, with powerflow you get it too look how you want too! No one did a tailpipe like mine for my car, and I really wanted one.. so Custom was the only way for me - I only care about sound and looks though!
Daz.
derv, having a blue car, Im probably biased.. but, if you go for a colour change has to be Cup Blue! If you want a Silver again, Iceburg is nice..
Your current silver is nice too, tho!
Daz.
The one in the forsale forum is Weights.. Same as mine.

Bad Girl is a nice spoiler, tho.

If they are the same as mine, which I guess they are (mines a 1997) then its a star screw. Cant remember the proper name for them, but I use my socket set which has the "star shaped screw heads" with it..
Daz.
that pic, admittedly isnt great. There is tread there.. its not totally bald..
You can see tread to where it should be - its just not as good as say on the other side or no where near as good as the backs!
Brun, nice to know Im not the only one! :)
Daz.
I got these tyres second hand with the alloys - Ive done at least 5000 - 6000 I would think on them.. dunno how much they had done before.
Thanks 172loony!
Daz.
172loony, ok, so based on that pic... and that I get the tracking checked just in case, you think it would be ok? The big question is: Are yours like that? :)
Thanks GR. I think Im fine then as it is... Its just the shoulder which is wearnig as far as I can tell!
Daz.
My tyre is quite bald on the outside on the passengers side.. now, I think the tracking is out but Ill get it checked on Monday..
Just wondered, this 1.6mm limit - where is that taken from? Cus the tread in the middle is fine!
Daz.
Got some pics of the broken starter.. This is an end on view and you can see how much it moves about (the bit which spins round to start the car - Drive and Gears?).. No wonder it wasnt starting sometimes.. The battery must have been hammered trying to get it too turn at an angle like that...
Ring round a few places..see what happens.
2k doesnt seem to much for a full respray.. but its always best to ring round.
Ring http://www.typekstyling.co.uk/http://www.typekstyling.co.uk/ up and see what they say, too.
Daz.
When I did mine, I got some 1.4 S dials.. but having an electronic ignition system on my car (and the 1.4 S not), I had to have the rev counter converted to electronic and wire it directly to the ignition module myself to get it to work!
Maybe because yours is a 1993, clocks from a similar...
I just stay connected and it auto redials if I get cut off.. usually hear it sometimes in the night.. but it can stay connected for about 6 days at a time.
Dont pay per minute though.
