Yeah plus I haven't had alot of sleep so I'd deffo be raging haha. Next weekend will be much more fun, got a 172 to lower saturday morning then all my new shiney bits to fit :)

That was to light the blow torch haha, couldn't find a lighter cause the old mans packed up the cigs Nah tbh only took 20 minutes, alot less stressful then driving across town on a saturday afternoon haha

Well woke up this afternoon and due to being on nights but thought I'd get up and do a bit by removing the old bushes from the new lower arms. Did it the old school way as I don't have a press so a blow tourch, grinder, hacksaw and hammer and chisel so sorted it! And my health and saftey is...

Oh I sometimes have a picture of me coming out the karasell in the trophy to haha, yeah spent a small fortune this week but haven't had much chance to set to work thanks to working on everyone elses cars. Will do, as soon as I collect the bits they'll be more pictures of them and my ugly mug...

It clearly does short trips, personally I'd be looking at one with a few more miles maybe but still doesn't mean this one will be no good. Diesels take much longer to warm up so on short trips they won't return the mpg or get upto optimum running temp which is where your problem could lie if...

haha that wasnt put there on purpose, HONEST ;) The missus and her sister take the mick saying how most blokes have pictures of them and there bird and I have a clio haha Just got off the phone with adam from autoworld renault all in stock except the rack mounts so a little trip to...

Well thought I'd post a few pics of a few more goodies thats have arrived this week :) Took advantage of 30% off last week at euro car parts so bought all new lemforder bottom balljoints and outer track rods for my suspension and steering refresh. Also my "cup wishbones/later spec" finally...

Just get some gasket paper or as said a cereal box and make a new one.

+1 takes me back to repairing me old mini motos when I was a kid haha

Yeah the pure kit looks good, plus you can get the replacement bearings easy enough should you ever need any.

Yeah you have to whip the mount out the way (if your referring to the engine mount)

Well the increased castor wishbones have arrived thanks to carbonraider, pics of fire to come later hahaha

I had a go a few years back when I worked for Volvo on one of there pride days. We used xc90's and I was surprised how good they were, I was concerned about tipping the thing but instructor said they would go much further. I must say up until then I didn't see the appeal of 4x4 driving but...

Its easy to change if your mechanically able :)

There notorious for it are the 1.2's, nearly everyone I see is like this. Mainly down to short trips, just try and give it a good run every now and then.

Fiesta st engine? There chain driven if I remember correctly. And the inlets at the front, not the rear.

Good progress so far mate, keep it up.

Well just ordered a new pair of lemforder bottom balljoints and a pair of lemforder track rod ends using the 30% off euro car parts coupon code, quids in :) Just for new rack mounts, inner tie rods and pure top mounts. Then the dampers will be off to cornering force for a refresh and powder...

Cheers buddy, you've just saved me 30 quid :) Just brought new lemforder track rod ends, and bottom ball joints to go with all me refresh

So you can add another 160 quid for a cam and aux kit if your doing yourself

I do believe there's a couple of lads on this site running the engine dynamics (old bb performance tuning) kit. I follow the guys on facebook and looks like they've been doing some tidy work if do say so myself.

Will be for sure and once its all mint it'll turn some heads

You'd prob be better pulling the engine out and doing the sump, clutch and cambelt all in one go, got potential though :) and petrol blue to die for :D

Yeah scoff built the engine for him, well tbh built the car. My cousin swapped it for the Audi tt powered Matt black clio, don't know what happened to it then on because that was over 4 years ago at least!

Out of interest where did you get you new decals from? Interior looks great too, nice and fresh!

Theres plenty on youtube mate, I think ktec have even got one on there channel

Sorry to here about the accident shag, main thing is you are ok. Me cousin used to own that rear engined jobby, he bought it as a shell off scoff and had scoof build him the b18ft and from what I remember Haz painted it in its current colour scheme.

Black all day long for me fella
