Rofl, so it is, never noticed, blame Ben. i bought the carbon bits from him! any ideas where i can get another sticker from??

Right, my daily 172 is getting to the end of its time with me, i toyed for a while with replacing it with a few other motors, something outside the clio world, but in the end after speaking to Dave88 (well moaning to him) about the lack of FF RB's up north, he mentioned Luke (The Boosh) was soon...

sorry admin, please remove, mispost thanks Ben

is the LY in the background the slammed one on turinis thats been on ebay?

rofl just because hes a mechanic he can mot? so all doctors can do brain surgery?

ai, did this out of necessity on my phase 1 as the old ones fell apart, literally takes 30 seconds a side :)

ai, it wont do anything really as usually a crunchy synchro is due to the teeth being knocked off it

Go lainer, it's your birthday, go lainer its your birthday!

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner lol, keep plodding along chap, i do everything on my heap myself, so i only have me to blame!

as above, could be pump or something half blocking the pickup

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner if its anything like mine, you'll never be happy, its an evolution thing, the project will never be 'done'

nice tripod'ing :)

ai they are darn light, i have a couple of sets and i weighed about 4 of them across both sets of 5 and they were all pretty much 5.1-5.3kg, book weight is 4.9 i think so slightly more but still v. light :)

nice result, hopefully all at no further cost to yourself?

right little giggle that must be :)

thats the kiddie, i havent bought any in a while as normally acquire it through a mate of mine :)

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner yep, and more again to clean up the quesitonable stains from aforementioned 'beetches' ;)

you can buy just the boot, however fitting it is less than fun as you have to remove the tripod from the shaft or split the outer CV to get the boot/bearing over the shaft. personally, i'd just source a decent second hand shaft and take it along with tools to drain oil and swap shaft at the...

i use oz superleggera, pretty light, lightest wheel i've seen in terms of actually weighing a bare rim, they came in at 5.2kg a corner with spigot and centre cap. belive some of the jap stuff is lighter, enkei and rota's are light but never owned any so no idea! pro race 1.2's were 6.4kg...

i use the tranself stuff recommended for the box, think its 75W-80 iirc

ensure you keep the coolant dilution correct coming into the winter as well, basically get it fixed and proper coolant back in before the cold sets in, if your coolant freezes there will be more than a new radiator to worry about ;)

as above, sounds like either clutch release bearing or input shaft bearings

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner simply beautiful car, it should meet my mk1 for a grey car on silver wheel with trinkets meet :) I would recommend never selling it, its an absolute stunner and entirely yours, well done chap

cheers chap :)

No Dazza man, just no, go flock with the rest ;) cheers Lukey :)

Small update since Blyton park earlier in the year the brakes have felt awful, so this weekend I decided to investigate. firstly the rear bias valve was set completely wrong, slack as anything meaning little to know rear brake effort, enough for MOT but insufficient for what I want, so I...

There's a catch up thread in projects, not updated in a while so it's a few pages down. I'll probably stick an update up today :)
