I bought some used 60mm hubs that needed bearings and after advice from @Gus i soaked them in deox c.
Bearings still need pressing out but this stuff is insane! Works much quicker if kept warm too but I had it in a cold cellar.
My milltek also arrived and I gave it a wipe with brake cleaner...
There's a small dent on my bonnet high up. Looks like something has hit the bonnet from the inside (I'm thinking when the bonnet stay has been rivetted on or something) but it's caused it to raise up in one point. This bonnets a thousand times cleaner than my last but I was wondering whether...
Can I just knock out the flange with a socket and hammer?
I'll be welding out the bearings and wanted to save myself a trip to a garage to get them pressed out as wanting to paint the hubs before new bearings go in.
Sounds amazing! Excited now.
Also just made up a mixture of Deox-c (Thanks @Gus) and put my front hubs in there. Will give them a going over in the morning with a wire brush again, then let them soak.
I've heard Nialls and it sounds great! I really like how mine sounds at the minute, but just too boomy which can be frustrating.
Made sense going this route as selling my current system will recoup most of the costs.
Sooo, I endulged and bought a milltek non resonated system with decat. I was fedup of my current system always blowing and hanging low and thought this was the best course of action! I decided it would be easier just buying a sleeved system rather than getting my olive joint remove and rewelded...
Transformation from before to after is insane! Proper love this car especially on the 1.2s. Think you went right on the colour 100%.
The sunstrips a nice edition too. I had one before but think I went too large which put me off. Yours looks just right!
Genuinely love this car now! Really enjoying making it mint and doing small projects on the side.
It's filthy at the minute though but really don't see the point washing it as it'll get dirty again just as quick.
Fitted my new oem painted bonnet today. Most know how long ive been after one of these for.
Had a little struggle aligning it and getting the bonnet to unlatch after closing but all sorted and lubed up now.
It's nice to have a bonnet without huge dents. Just need to clean the rest of the car now!!
