Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction
cheers dan, hopefully i can get it as clean as yours sometime.
damn i was hoping that wouldnt be noticed Daz!! the car i took the dash off in the scrap yard was missing that part when i got to it, will be keeping an eye out for the black one
in theory they're track wheels but will be on the car during the whole summer. i picked these wheels up at a decent price too, they came with slicks but ive no use for them without a cage and they got sold.
luminous anything is the way forwards, i may get a first coat of colour on my other 2...
balls, was hoping you wouldnt see this. i knew you'd done it. at least the cars arent the same colour too. did i meet you briefly at the RS oulton day last year? i was wondering around with jay and tony
one of the reasons is also because burp, adeyspec and myself all have silver ph1's with...
^ nearly 10,000. not bad lol
even if the car looks s**t i dont care lol, i'll be sat in it or it'l be in the garage so wont be me looking at it.
ive got 9 wheels to choose from so can go back to black if its awful
lol, luckily i can get discount at our local panel and paint shop.
will be wrapped in some R888's in the next month or so. cant wait to see them on the car
Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction
havent done much recently except buy my first house, which puts the car as number 3 in my life currently. but still managed to get a few cheapo things done.
first up was a 1.2 dash top, this gets rid of the horrible blue dash and also the dash airbag which...
have been getting busy the past week with the rattle cans, its all come out quite well really.
please bare in mind, these are only 2 wheels so far, some of you already know what i mean;)
the photos dont actually show the colour properly, even the SLR cant get the right colour on them
and...
i had a look online but couldnt find it, ive always bought mine in the store. just asked for a 3.3ohm resistor and ive ended up with the right one lol. i cant be of much more se on that part
or go to maplins and buy a 14p resistor 3.3 ohm value and stick it between the old connections. you'll need one for the seat airbag and one for the pre tensioner if youve removed that too. ive got 5 in my car at the moment, still havent removed the steering wheel one yet
FK konigsports yep.
powey, dont worry i knew the nut was only holding it together. in theory i believe the ast top hat is designed for a 60mm spring which the AST/ FK/ and other makes of spring are. by the looks of it, the GAZ use a slightly smaller spring
save it for a rainy day, nice holiday or take the mrs' away sometime. dont waste it on the car lol. coilovers if you did though, and matched inlets perhaps
go to your local dealer and ask for some of the sound deadening from the roof in the 197. yours has been damaged.
see what the parts guy says when he sees the cardboard lol
what suspension are you using with the topmounts? looks like the part which locates the spring isnt the right size and would need machining to counter for this
Yellop, i fitted my FK's a while ago and had a bit of interior still in the back when it was finished.
now ive taken ALL the weight out the back of the car, the dampers rattle like f**k. its doing my swede in something cronic, actually making me start to fall out of love with it lol.
i...
ast top mount is wrong i think. the original black carrier (above the spring) needs to be removed. the spring then fits into the bottom of the ast mount nice and smoothly. the middle bit you have fine, but the nut is also on the wrong way round ;)
think i have a picture somewhere.......
