That’s really nice of you. Message sent

I know, but I’m not built that way. I can sorn her and let it rot tbh. If I knew what it was going to cost to fix, I’d reprice. I drove her to work last Friday with a smile on my face, no intention of selling. It’s only a car at the end of the day and I’ve absolutely loved working on it and...

Yeah it’s a £3,000 car all day long but until I can get her started I couldn’t ask that. 2 weekends of messing about trying to figure out what is wrong had exhausted me. I know plenty of people who’ll be able to fix it but I’m not putting anymore money into it.

Well after spending all day trying to get the old girl started I finally threw the towel in. Spent a lot of money and time on this car and was hoping I could fix her but I’m at a loss, so she’s going the journey. I’m sure somebody who knows a bit about these cars or is mechanically minded can...

Yeah no difference.

Pulled up into work Friday morning, jumped in car after work, turned the key and absolutely nothing. Engine wouldn’t crank. Ran a diagnostic and got this. DF067 - Ring - Decoder Connection, no communication with ring or transponder key. Lovely! Trailered her home Saturday and started...

A bit of spare time through the week so spent it refurbing my manky old calipers. They were due to go back to DMFX as exchange units but thought I’d swallow the surcharge and use these as spares. Wire wheeled old paint off, left in a bucket of Evaporust for 24 hours, then brushed some high temp...

Refurbished my manky old calipers.

Looking forward to seeing how the BG scrubs up 👀

Thumbs up for that one too as i use it to set my car up.

I’ve got the modified spacer because the strut tops were sticking out. They’re no different from the originals but don’t seem to affect the ride at all

I’ve heard Eibach Pro-kit is the closest to OEM so I’m going down that route once these Cup springs give up the ghost.

Looking good fellas. Oh and those hubs and bearings are working lovely on the daily 👌

Hmm there’s still a fair amount of poly bushing going on for a road car though. And I tried Grams and Cooksport with Cup dampers before returning to Cup springs. I just found the car never really worked properly with aftermarket kit. On saying that my ARB bushes are also Strongflex but the ride...

I’m using genuine wishbones on my daily with Lemforder ball joints and they’re fine. I’ve also got Yellow series Strongflex bushes which are an upgrade over OEM but don’t cause any harshness to the ride. I’ve done 25,000 road miles on them in the last 2 years. What springs/dampers/suspension...

Last bits done on the track car today. Overhauled the brakes with new calipers, pads and discs. Upgraded the geometry pins and gave everything a final check over before Croft in a few weeks.

Put a shift in on Sunday doing final prep on the track car. New plugs, injectors, new radiator, auxiliary belt and a general clean up of the engine and components. The adjuster on the cup bracket was also bent and the nut had cross threaded so fixed that at the same time. Only need to replace...

I couldn't for the love of me get the ABS/ESP lights to go off on my track car so i just taped over them. I try every time i do a track day haha. I also did the Nurburgring over a whole weekend with SERV, ABS and Traction Control lights on and car was fine. Whilst i'm not bothered about ESP, I...

Scroll back a couple of pages in this thread and I’ve got a rough guide with images on how I set mine.

Yes mine ran fine with those lights on but as soon as i set the sensor they went off. My track car's alignment is set up somewhat differently to my daily though and the lights are on permanently, but i've never had any running issues in 3 seasons. I just taped over the lights on the dashboard to...

Did mine before new year. Paid £140 including new sliders from DMFX in Darlington. Got them on my daily and track car 👌🏻

A belated welcome 😊

Old cars, don’t you just love em 😂

I was offered an RB recently but i felt it was a bit ‘showy’ for my tastes. I like the Black Gold’s subtle looks and it’s lovely in sunlight and when it’s clean.

Thanks. It wasn’t always so. It’s been a three year project as I run it 5 days a week and just improve it as I go along.

A few more of the daily before I changed the wheels from silver to anthracite.

Looks lovely that.
