Roadkill's always had sponsorship from Dickies so that's not something that bothers me, what bothers me is that wasn't a Roadkill episode, just because it says Roadkill and has the two of them in it doesn't mean it is, Roadkill is about taking total death traps usually from a junk yard, cramming...
JC5 130 has the circlip bolted in place, JC5 129 and lower don't, being a cup your car is more than likely a 129,
the 130's are also non speedo drive so if your box is a 129 speedo drive you can't swap it for a 130.
You'll need to climb in the back and unscrew the plastic cover on the boot, it's one screw, then you just pull it off as it's secured with poppers,
inside the boot is a metal bar that moves the lock, you'll need to push/pull it to get the boot open.
You'll more than likely need a new solenoid...
Why does the car scene always have to consist of serious and worthwhile mods, or styling that fits in with everyone's version of what's looks cool, surely there's room for cars that are a bit of a laugh and are modified as a f*ck about project? If i'd have seen it at a car show yes i'd have...
They shouldn't be scraping with new shocks at all, the springs set the ride height and the shocks just damp the bumps out so the back doesn't bounce around and Cooksports don't lower the car that much, where are you in the country?
The springs don't get removed to put new shocks in, I replaced mine before I knew anything about cars, it's a simple job that's pretty much impossible to screw up, unless your springs have somehow become unseated, but they'd have probably fallen out by now.
Have you actually had a look at them...
Am I ever going to get to sit in this thing and play with the buttons, please tell me you're bringing it to CSS, it's no even that far from you this year?
How many did you crash?
I crashed 2 cars in my first 2 years of driving, first car was a Rover Metro 1.1 I stuffed into the back of a Volvo, it survived but looked like a write off from then on, second car was a Rover 414 I crashed head on into some poor b*stard because i'd just come back from...
I thought it looked like a bit of a laugh until I saw the inside,
how many leathery old cougars did you have to shag to get enough leopard print for the interior?
I bet the oil leak was from the gearbox selector shaft seal and the reason it's gone bang is because it's all leaked out and the box had ran dry, my old gearbox did exactly the same thing but at 70mph on a duel carriageway, bang and the sound of metal grinding and fusing together.
Fixed my haunted passenger door lock that randomly decided when it wanted to lock or unlock, turned out to be a loose connector so I jammed some card in to keep it in place and so far it's working.
Although whoever decided how the door cards should be attached need shooting, poppers yeah no...
