Probably a fair bit as I wont be using a great deal on the road. I currently dont have any camber on the back so that will need sorting too

Update time
So I wanted to have the car on the road by now but life gets in the way.
So today I just decided to stick my new cup shocks, solid top mounts and cook sports on
Straight away the old shock gave me issues so I tackled it the best way I know... take the grinder to the fucker...
I got a good discount and got it for £450 brand new. The S10 would be about a grand
I'll probably keep this for a few years because unlike IOS it wont get killed off by hardware updates lol

I bought another 4 ECU trays with unbroken tabs
Now to leave them in the garage for 25 years and watch the money roll in[emoji23][emoji23]

Fairly common for the 65 and 80 engines to shag pistons, rods and wrist pins if they're not serviced properly
Easiest way to test is to take the injectors out, get a long thing screwdriver and see if all the pistons sit at the same level at TDC. A mate of mine had his 80 blow out a wrist pin...
See if you can blow the barrel out and lube the key with some WD
I paid about £100 for my gates cambelt kit and just got a mate to check it over and give me a hand. Never taken my car to a garage so I have no idea on prices[emoji23] You need to replace the cambelt, waterpump and tensioner along...
I've got a full dCi 100 ECU kit here with 2 keys, you could just change the barrel, blade and fuel cap though which would be easier

A few of my mates started collecting Raider and Williams parts around 5 years ago including a s**t tonne of C1J and C6J engines when people started to strip cars willy nilly. Proper random stuff too like decals and wheel centre caps
I now envy them massively as they're quids in
Holy f**k! I know the secret cubby holes that go underneath the 172 parcel shelves are going for good money but nowhere near that!!!
I think I just bought a load of unbroken ECU brackets and other s**t, it's a good job I'm employed because I couldn't hack the dole just for the lack of car parts
Sweet, I've got some Dynax for my inner arches. Welding sills on your back ain't fun. Did a few Ka's a few years ago welding on my back with an arc welder, safe to say I've still got a few scar marks on my arms lol. Why do you always manage to get slag down the sleeves of your work gear, it...
Check your inlet manifold if it's a 1.2 16v as they can build up a hell of a lot of oil in the inlet due to the tiny breather getting clogged up. That can cause it to stall out and run like a bag of s**t too
All JR5 boxes are 6th for reverse, same with the MK3 tCe boxes
The dogbone will probably be the culprit for the movement, my dCi used to kill standard ones because I drove it like a c**t lmao
I've started to hoard parts badly, GSF did a flash sale getting rid of all the SNR rear discs for 172's for £30 a pair.
So being the weirdo I am I bought 5 pairs? Same with the Purflux oil filters, they had em for £4 so I got 5 of them too because why the f**k not lol
