I have a few things i wanted to do this weekend, ill see how my week pans out.

Thats very kind of you Tim, however i sent Chris 2 emails with regards to painting my bits but got nothing back. I gave up waiting, so i sent most of it away for powder coating, the only bits im going to get painted are the inlets, engine cover and the inside grab handles. I think ive sorted a...

Laura, do you still have the Golf?

I can understand that. lol When i fitted my polly bushes i did the same, the 2 bolt holes dont line up untill the braket is almost closed, longer bolt didn't seem to work and also i didn't want a 2" bolt sticking out. Glad you got it sorted though mate.

Spotted you in Mac d's car park in Lakeside. Looked nice, got a soft spot for one of these right now.

:o

I wipe a little bit of grease on all both the bush and the clamp. I levered mine into place with a small leaver/pry bar. Was easy.

Here it is @JD. :)

No. Its not up to temp so the thermostat is closed.

Should try that test on the back of my van. Your 200 is hardly dirty.

And she's better looking than you. :)

Re: mintys 172 turbo I hope so. You will have to wear gloves lol

Re: mintys 172 turbo I ment when you come to mine. But yeah, i trust no one. :)

Re: mintys 172 turbo We shall see. ;)

Ive been looking on line, the thinnest i can find is 8mm. Found theses, but bloody expensive. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/heat-shielding-protection/cool-it-snap-strap-locking-ties

If im honest there is a little bit more vibration on idle, but thats it. Best mod ive done so far, feels so much more connected and i wouldn't go back to standard mounts. What you said about the exhaust knocking, used to drive me bloody nuts and my mounts where new.

Wrapped my 182 manifold (yes i know its not finished and yes i know they are plastic cable ties)

Me to. I don't see what all the fuss is about. And im old.

Euro Car parts.

We need to talk about painting my inlets, engine cover and inside grab handles mate.

These two bits makes me happy. :D

I was thinking about s/s lock wire, the tie wraps ive seen on Tweeks site are a fortune.

Yes you are correct, i have used plastic cable ties. But if you read then you know why. :rasp:

I would get it live mapped just be on the safe side, after all of this work wouldn't want it to go bang!! Andrew still has my head, his only had it about a week plus im still waiting on my Supertech valves to arrive.

Had another crack as wrapping the manifold this morning, couldn't get on with the stainless steel tie wraps they just didn't seem to lock up tight enough. I will have to give Demon Tweeks a call tomo and see what they say, i did want AlexW suggested and used plastic tie wraps to hold the ends...

Thank you Mr Bear. :approve: Cheers Dan, i do it to relax plus i don't have a life. :( Cheers fella, what's next for your's? Thanks for the kind offer mate, id had a few beer's at the time so wasn't one of my better idea's to start wraping a manifold. flol As above mate plus it has cost...

Sounds like the same spec as mine, ive got 421's though.

Like he stole it with any luck. :D

Well done chaps, hope to see you race this year Tony. :D

Looking good Mr Mark. :approve:
