Yeah its solid filled with I assume tiger seal.. I'll call up to my dads where I leave the car and try and give the engine a wobble or take it out for a spin and try the 4th gear thing. Is that £200 inc fitting or is that plus fitting? Is it a job I could do myself with limited spanner...
Couldn't tell you @Phase1sr I would have to ask @Chi who I bought the car from. They look standard from what I could tell (from memory) when I've been taking battery out and changing headlight bulbs nothing has stood out too me and they are just plain black.
Was looking at the hangers as they are only a few quid on ebay just wasn't sure if that was the problem tbh. Don't wanna buy a new hanger and it keeps slipping out.
Any ideas how to secure it? I only refitted it back in last night went for a spin today now battery is recharged to see how it was going as its been sat for a few weeks. I unbolted the mount slipped the hanger back in and bolted up and it came out again. Any ideas would be helpful even if I...
Took the rear seat and carpet out and fixed the exhaust as it was hanging off, the back box wasn't sat in the hangar so just a 5 minute unbolt and slide back in and bolt back up. The rear bench came in handy for lying on lol. And last took the battery out and put it on a recharge in the house...
Asked the guy and the answer he gave me was "I'll have to ask my missus because she deals with them money side of things" I did say in paid him not his missus, utter amazed at how he is still in business. Now he has turned his phone off since I tried ringing this morning and afternoon after he...
I know lol getting them stripped back to bare alloy and powder coated, AND he said he doesn't hang them to paint he does the backs them turns them over and does the front so the backs would always have slight marks.
guy was a to55er AFTER the 2nd time he tried them, and Daniel did you see the edges where the paint is peeling off lol soon as you go near them to clean with a jet wash they would peel off, the stone chips on the front and the runs. If I wanted tatty wheels I could have kept them as they were...
I had a discount code for my tyres but it ran out the day i ordered my pilot sports. Only 4% but still better than nothing when they were the cheapest anyway. Good service too my dad used them for his tyres and special oil for his car also and he swears by them.
To be fair I would try the RSR @ almost £70 a set cheaper and after some decent reviews I don't think I would turn them down. Put the £70 toward a track day then lol
Mega p1ssed. Just picked my wheels up for the 2nd time in 3 weeks and this is what I got.... Runs in the middle, saint still soft, still see the primer on the back in some places and when I (very slowly) peeled the masking tape off the back edge off the rim the paint peeled off, feels like sand...
Probably eBay or if you know where the teams are and on forums. my mate in work (has a supercharged mini) he gets part worn slicks and wets to use on track cheap but not in the size I need. I haven't bought any myself so don't know first had where to buy them plus better when the season starts too.
went to pick up my refurbished speedline 2118's which were supposed to be done the week before Christmas and had to be took back due to big runs in the paint (they apologised and said I could have them back Christmas eve so told them I don't need them till Jan so take their time and do a good...
I'm using 15" on my track car purely due to the cost of tyres. Think the cup racers use 15" too so you might be able to get part worn tyres cheaply when they have done testing/practice and what not.
Cheers guys, I ordered one a couple of days ago, just waiting for delivery now and local firm to powder coat when I get it (quoted me £40 so not too bad) just gotta decide what colour now lol.
Same here for the 205/45/16 @ £73 I have ordered a few sets of tyres from these and engine oil too always very good with delivery and get the odd discount code too...
I'm from Widnes hopefully should be able to come if a meet is organised. (if im not on nights) get my speed lines back from refurb tomorrow and new tyres on so will be up for a meet, If not im at Oulton on 27th Jan and 3rd Feb for some track action lol
Same as above lol just read the whole thread (so wanted to skip to the end to see where its at lol) but what a lovely build wish I had somewhere (plus the skill/cash/time) to do something like this with my dad.
I just paid £49 each for PS3 from MyTyres took about a week delivery but worth the wait and I had a 4% off voucher so cost me about £190 delivered. 195/50/15 mine were though.
This the M-Sport package and either folding wing mirrors or heated seats lol but for the cost even on a lease get them both, I like the folding mirrors just hate the fact you cant fold them in above something like 10-15mph I like to fold them up if I'm squeezing through a gap or past cars missus...
I love it in mine very rarely use the paddles or the gearstick like a sequential box (if you know what I mean) I prefer the S-Tronic in an Audi but only because its in this
Same as mine but 5 door and Silver lol was 3 months old when I bought it with 3,000 miles on (had it 11 months now still only has 10k on it) I paid £26k bought mine from a dealer it was the sales managers car (for 3 months anyway) went from a 335d coupe Auto and the new box in these is MILES...
