If anyone has a spare minute,
could they shop me wheels black, and white, and anthracite and any other colour that might work??
would be much apprecitated!
i prefer them darker tbh,
with such a strong colour, i think you should keep the range of colours to a minium,
black side repeaters, bullets, wheels!
silver wheels, green car, black trim = too much going on for me,
all personal prefrence through, its your car!
im confused,
you're taking the engine out of that RREEAALLLYYY nice ph1,
and putting it in a mk1?
why not just leave the engine in that?? and do a few more mods with the tim/money you would have spent changing the engines??
busy day today,
got up really shocked to see the postman outside clutching a big box with spax on the side!!
(i only ordered them wednesday eve)
nipped to renault before i got to work as i had ordered all new bolts that link the balljount to the wish bones!
if you saw earlier in the thread...
could never remember your username dude!
But you were behind me after i left southend Renault and went down cherry orchard way,
not sure if you knew it was me, nut you gave me a thumps up either way :P
449 valver!
cars looking good! looked a lot lower!
right because im as cool as a cucumber, ive videos the noise so everyone can better understand what im going through!!
might want to turn your speakers up, i was done on my phone!!
this one is me holding the revs at a steady 1500rpm

this is me...
well its got a hillpower polyeurothaine (sp) dogbone mount, this is the only lower engine mount on the car i think :S
and ive just ordered an uprated engine mount from ktec as the one in there does seem to give a lot of movement,
hopefully this will fix it!
Im not 100% certain, as i see bikes all the time riding around during the day with a solid front fairing (no headlight at all)
however you would not only not have the headlight,
but you would not have a front indicator either, and there is a dirty great hole in the front of the car! so id...
I just wondered if it is worth replacing the springs on my valver??
theyre supposidly 60mm eibach springs,
the paint is starting to flake off! so no evidence of brand can be found,
Do springs go limp after time? and not have the same loading strength (or whatever)
that they should??
or will...
do you mean, gearbox mount, or engine mount??
or actually the gearbox??
well ive got next week off, and i should be doing some work underneigh the car, so ill have a look!
lower gearbox mount is powerflex so it should be that,
i did need to change the engine mounts at somepoint anways :D
On a valver!
have spax adjustables on the rear,
need to change my front shocks!
i intend to do a wide track conversion in the summer, at which point ill get coilies,
but until then, i want to upgrade my front shocks for around £150 for the two,
both spax and apex fall around that area...
annoyingly in an attempt to change some of the rotten bolts in the exhaust, ive managed to make it knock :(,
something ill be looking into this weekend,
also intend to fit all new ball joint bolts as one is in very poor condition and managed to work itself loose! (scarey drive home)
and...
Oh joys,
a knocking noise! were my thoughts on the way to college thismorning!
ill describe the knock!!
it seems to come and go, it doesnt sound like an engine knock, and you can kind of feel it through the pedal!
it does it over sharp bumps, single knock or maybe two knocks,
but it also does...

you cut me deep rob!
it does come up very nice when polished,
but its not in great nick bodywork wise,
one arch has a big paint run,
the entire front is chipped to fook,
bootlid is very rusted around the bottom on the window,
and one arch has very matted paintwork.
basically needs a...
yup, hovered it one day,
the next day i got in with dirty shoes, and that happened!
i thought the exterior looked rather nice tbh, but ive now been told otherwise :(
tbh, the paintwork isnt amazing,
im glad you like the numberplate! :D
that was washed polished and hovered!!!
what are you trying to say :( lol
lol jokes,
its for the best the clutch went, at least i know what the problem was, and that it's sorted!
ill probs go for the 172 track,
just collect the bits over the next months!
but i dont know how long itll take the find the part, let alone afford them (student budget!)
did want unprated shocks in the meantime!
i guess i could just get konis for the now,
and sell them when time comes to do...
ahh, well that sums it up!
im in a bit of a pickle then,
The shocks on there NEED replacing!
do i
A) buy some koni adjustable shocks valver fitament,
and do a wide track conversion next summer,
sell the konis and get some shocks williams fit!
B) Not get new shocks, and try and do the...
