Can it be done?
Whilst drilling a snapped bolt from the cambelt cover, a drill bit snapped, a tiny bit (1.5mm) and a tiny part of it (probably 3mm long at worst).
Now this little bit of drill disappeared as it snapped, and may or may not have made its way towards the cambelt.... :S
Is it...
Cheers Sawah, will feel good when I start it and it all works.
Still a bit worried about the tiny bit of snapped drill bit that may or may not have made its way towards the cambelt....
Haha! I think I'll need it tmrw evening mate, depending upon when the mount arrives (should be tmrw but you...
It'll be 'reet when this part arrives!
Hopefully it'll solve all my shakes etc, I just need to do the top GB mount next... but the securing stud is spinning too.
The "fun" never ends with these cars it seems.
Sad to see it die, seems a shame to only get one track day out of it really, but if you enjoyed it that's all that matters.
If you get bored and feel generous....:rasp:
I had a crack and succeeded, cheers to all for the advise, I find working on cars is a lot easier if you've got a mate or two to help, even if they know FA, its just a lot of effort doing it on your own!!!
Waiting on the mount/cover from DannyR now and it'll be back to good working order...
Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Didn't mean to sound like I was insulting you, I thought you may have got the paint code for flame red that's all.
Hopefully a bit of machine polishing will fix it right up.
I'm quite suprised its the same colour really, as pretty much all the sport colours...
Well mine is currently on stands out in the front garden, with the engine on the jack until my engine mount arrives.
So unless I get some big bits of wood I have no idea how I'll get it down, LOL!!!
Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Not meaning to piss on your chips but, is the non sport definately flame red? Looks very different?
Apart from that, it looks bloody brilliant, still wish I went full ph1 rep on my old non sport in this colour!
Good result having one lying around, lol @ "looked factory" I'm assuming the fuel rail guard looked like a piece of scrap? ;)
Car just sounds like its needs a really good run, never fails to amaze me how much just really driving a car can improve it.
Glad it lives though :)
You didn't drive it with the buggered "just a cambelt cover" did ya??
Because your symptons were the same as mine... i.e driving along, hit basically nothing, serious bang/clunk, engine nearly died but saved it just, my last bolt was all that kept it going I think.
Great news mate, really happy for ya :)
I still want my f**king F1's
Next time you come over this way, come in that, it's needs the run and I wanna see it moving!
Sweet, I'll actually buy these if they stay low low low in price, I'll try get the covers off and clean them up, as my lights are ruined.
Bloody funny advert though.
