That's why i'll never sell the dog kennel, it's a curbed, dented, scratched, filthy shed of a car, but it's mechanically sound, faster than it looks and i've have so many good times in it/because of it, it's more of a friend than a car, it would be like selling my dog, I just couldn't do it.

I used to get ABS Serv & TC come on all the time, so a few years ago I started pressing the ESP switch every time I turned the key, never seen those lights come on since. I guess you could call that a fix, of sorts.

Ask Adam at Renault Wolverhampton in the traders section, he'll know.

Yeah when I f*ck up, I f*ck up properly! :approve:

I take it you witnessed my demise?

HAHA! You see I do remember some things, although if you walked past me in the street I wouldn't recognise you, I couldn't really see straight by that point.

I don't remember much of anything once I hit the oblivion button. Were you opposite mate or sideways mate at this years CSS, or were you at one of my previous f*ck ups?

LOL, I wish.

I don't know if it's an optical illusion, but it looks like your wheel is wobbling all over the place.

As above, different bolt spacing on the 182 cups from normal 182's.

Wow never seen those before, they look heavy duty!

He's still got to pay to get the thing out before he even sends it to Agency.

Depends on how knackered the box is, i've seen people pay a sh*t load more for a rebuild than that. But if the rebuild cost is the same as a second hand box then i'd go with the rebuild.

BRG is quite a dull colour, it's your car at the end of the day so you can paint it any colour you like, I just think a nice red would look loads better.

Only Brooklands green Mk1 in the country apparently, he didn't tell the lad he bought it off he was changing the colour incase it upset him. lol

Selector shaft seal, mine does it too, i've decided it's just easier to top it up every couple of months.

Paint it in that stuff that turns the metal rat look scene w*nker rusty, that'll make him explode!

F*cking size of the engine in that Escort!

You mean I get to sit on my arse and supervise while you slave away? Sounds good to me.

Now you're talking.

BRIGHT F*CKING RED!!!

Oh dear God no! That's f*cking horrible!

Andy wouldn't let you back in his garage if you made a sh*t job of the paint.

This guy.......this guy knows!

I'm not looking forward to getting beaten by an oil burner at Santa Pod.

Depends on your budget, the JC5 130 I bought was £275 and 10k miles newer than my old one, it's done a track day and 2 drag days where it's been subjected to burnouts and 7k rpm gear changes, i've hammered it as much as you can and it's still going strong 3 years later and that's on a daily driver.

Yeah it's not easy, I wouldn't be able to do it on my own, luckily through CS i've made mates that could easily do it and would come over and help me, I bought a new clutch to go in mine when I changed it. If you got yours rebuilt, you'd still have to pay for it to be removed, then refitted, on...

Found the colour you should paint it.

Ok mate, shouldn't take too long to pull it apart, as long as every nut and bolt isn't rusted to sh*t.

You'll have to pick a colour before the engine goes in, unless you're painting the engine bay a different colour? Although knowing you you'll build the thing, get it working, tune it just right, then pull the engine out to paint the thing.
