Hi all,
Im looking at starting to get into detailing.
1, To do my own car
2, My boss and his son also want there cars doing.
My questions are
1, Could anyone please point me in the right direction to which company sells the stuff that i need and at a good price....I do have a wash mitt, a...
Thought id add to this, My Ph1 that ive owned for 2 years.
It had only done 39k when i bought it and its now only done 45k and im the 3rd owner from new.
Ive done the belts and had the wheels re furbished by Spit and Polish oh and also had the wheel bolts plated along with other bits.
It sits...
My PH1 had done 39k two years ago when i bough it, its now done 45k and hasnt been used in two months.
Should put it up for sale tbh as im now building a MK2 fiesta fast road/trackday toy.
Yes mate thats a good price, still working on my mk2 just fitting a new front end and seem welding the engine bay.
Bought a 2.0l slivertop the other day but going to take it my engine builders to give the bottom end a freshen up.
Guess i should put the PH1 172 up for sale soon..

Re: Z4 - Perfect No More
Thats an ass, id say it was only the Clio that hit your car, as you said it come up the road towards the front of your car.
By the way the edge of the door skin is bent like that, deffo the Clio.
Hope it gets sorted.
Im 36, had a R5 GTT when i was 19, only bought my PH1 172 as a sunday toy and i guess the closest thing to the R5 was all them years ago in its rawness.
Yes i bought the XR2 about 7 years ago now, again very low miles and father and son owned from new but as always i payed top dolla for it.
Only had it for a year and only did 1000 miles in it as my girlfriend was pregnant so i sold it to a mate who i work with.
He had it on the road for 2 to 3...
I bought my PH1 in may 2010, i payed alot for it but its only done 39k and with 2 owners.
I am thinking about selling it and buying a track day car but i drove it again today for the 1st time in a week, keeps on bringing a smile to my face and im 36 i know i would miss it if i did.
I only have...
Re: i Sold my rwd escort cosworth 400bhp to get a clio 172 ?? did i do the right thin
You have far to much money mate......:rasp:
Good on ya though, your cars are evey boys dream.......:hail:
Hmmmm was ment to call me back yesterday about engine mount GSF part number.......:rasp:
Its ok mate i know you was up to your eye balls in a cam belt job and it didnt help it being -6..:(
Got the engine mount and rear exhaust mount, just need this bloody snow to clear so i can fit them....:race:
I said that the timing might have slipped mate.
I did the belts on my ph1 172 and replaced all of the cam shaft locking nuts and bolts that you get in a kit from Renault along with new cam oil seals, even bought a new crank pulley bolt.
Just not worth messing about for the sake of about 30 quid.
Funny enough theres a hell of alot of worn ladies stuff up for grabs on there now days......
As Daniel said i bet it makes good money, one way of turning them 99p thongs into a few quid......:S
Gotta say wow, i worked on Porsches for 4 years which was 11 years ago now and got to drive some great cars from 911 E and Ts to 993 turbo 4s and even a 1970s 2.7RS but this looks great.........
Stuffs thats hard to come by i guess, i bought a pair of old mini cooper s fuel tanks from an old boy who had them laying around in his garage and payed him 60 quid for them.
One had a dent in the top which i repaired and painted.
I fitted them into my mini and used them for a few years then...
