Nice work, I think it looks really good so far, but I wouldn't have gone matt black with the badge, on the ph2's it just looks like it's missing IMO.
Silver CF wrap could look nice
Hey Darren, tell me about it mate....
Yes indeed it may have been the cause of the vibration.... just for good measure I also have a top GB mount to put on soon, but the spindle needs tightening first.
It looks as though that engine mount is in good condition, no signs of wear at all, so I'll...
Rewarding to do it myself? I guess so.. Saved me a fortune, now thats rewarding!!!
A tiny TINY TINY TINY TINY bit of drill bit may have gone down towards the cambelt, my mate snapped a bit but we have no idea where it went... (sort of lol)
Am I in trouble?
Cheers mate :)
I've got one then...
Looks really good, real shame about your "hiccup's" but hopefully you'll have it sorted ASAP.
Who's going on this trip of yours anyways? Seems A LOT of people are going around this time?
Suprised you didn't take the cover off mate, afterall its "only a cambelt cover" ;)
Really hope you get it sorted, as I never did get that passenger ride!
So... in relation to this thread: The worst thing ever
After A LOT of swearing etc, me and a couple of mates finally managed to get the two snapped bolts out of my engine today, leaving me with a car like this:
On two axle stands and with a trolley jack holding the engine up as no mount is...
Oh Daniel-son, I feel for you, I got all my snapped bolts out today, so am having a good one sort of, I've even had a few Peroni's, it seems the French want to damn one of us at a time, so whilst yours breaks, mines alive, and vice versa....
If it's dead I want the f1's (as they should have...
Bolt at the back is impossible to get off without taking the mount off, I think its probably loose as hell, so once it's off, it'll come off easily.
I'm hopefully going to get it to the garage today, although to be totally fair, I could probably just do it myself now, as long as I can get that...
I'm not quite sure how to go about supporting the engine if I'm totallly honest. A friend wh has aa cover and lives miles away is coming over tmrw. So we'll push it off the drive and around the corner a bit and get towed to my Renault mechanics.
Iirc you're covered in others cars with aa, so...
When I take it apart? Ha!
Gotta be kidding ;)
I haven't got the time or enough tools to do a good job of it tbh.
To Two Techs it'll go.
Just got the bolt closes to the front of the engine out with a VERY thin nose pair of plyers!!! Woo!
Can't get to the back one, as it seems to have...
Ok, important question:
Would you change the actual mount as well or just the cambelt cover thingie?
EDIT: Oh dear, thread dies as important question is asked, life fail.
2k now? Tbh I could take it, take the mount, headlights and whatever else, then break the car.... ;)
I'm fully aware my luck sucks, big time, but I'm not sure altering my dress sense will change it though...
Cheers 'topher, you've been quite the voice of wisdom in here. :o
Fred, cheers, hopefully my mechanic's are as awesome as you, and can do it in an hour. ;)
Haha! Cheers for saving me, kinda, is it going to be ok to tow? I.e what if it goes from being bumped around?!?
This is interesting.
Thanks, everyone, especially you Danielson, for le text message.
EDIT:
The bolts look to have sheared clean, so it once they're out it shouldn't be a problem...
Hello chaps, I haven't driven it anywhere. Just went to KFC in a friends car.
So you wouldn't drive it 10 miles then??? lol!!!
Cheers for round two of advice, thank god I didn't go flying off in it, LOL!!!!
Fred, how much would doing something like this cost roughly??? PM me if you want, I'd...
