No offence intended here, but you take shite photos.
There's not one shot of the whole car, I can't tell if I like the mods because I can't see them all at once.
But yeah, the shots look crisp at least.
Re: Ph1 Mini Service & Clean
Very acceptable? I'm not entirely sure how to take that.... But thanks, I guess.
Immac?
Anyway, I'm off to hunt for track rod ends, you got a grinder/power btw? If not, I can try to supply the grinder.
I got this from someone at work earlier, basically saying someone was having issues sending us mail... now I'm not massively up on email stuff, but I thought some of you lot may well be....
All ideas welcomed.
Re: Ph1 Mini Service & Clean
TBH, I've never noticed anything wrong with them. They were an advisory on the MOT when I bought the car, 18m ago, and it's never shown any issues.
I'll just get some track rod ends then yesh??
So we'll do rod ends, new shaft, (it's actually new) and robert's your...
Re: Ph1 Mini Service & Clean
Dude, it's a new month. (I'm still brasic, but that's my own doing, try to demolish a BIG CC in a very short time).
I'll get hold of that driveshaft this week then, £50 for some poncey bushes??? Can you link me up to anywhere that sells what we're talking about...
Cheers mate, fronts will be 25mm then the back will be 5mm I think, maybe 8mm....
I have a feeling it'll make the front look 100x better, but we shall see :)
Re: Ph1 Mini Service & Clean
I've been wondering what I needed to change since picking up the car, lol!
Doesn't really seem to affect it TBH, but if they're cheap, I'll change them.
I may try and get most of it done this w.e tbh mate, only thing is I should change the track rod ends before...
Full custom build from scratch, by powerflow.
Was created to be as quiet as possible without affecting flow. My perfect exhaust.
LOL! My apologies amigo, but yeah, the lance is certainly useful.
Cheers Grayson.
I'll say it for the last time, when the tyres are through, the f1's will go on.
That's Mr Giraffe for you, pro with that lance now days..
Re: Ph1 Mini Service & Clean
Track rod ends I need doing mate... also need to fit ANOTHER passenger side shaft (kill me).
I should have it by the end of this week.. FFS.
Just looked and found the old MOT - "Slight play in steering rack bushes" WTF are those?
I scratched my lid this weekend taking it to ^^ that blokes house.
FFS.
I have a nice, smart Ted Baker case for it too, but I just slung it in a bag full of stuff and didn't worry.
Fudge.
Here's to hoping it dies a death in the next two years and I get a new one under applecare.
Re: Ph1 Mini Service & Clean
Cheers mate, track rod ends... why are these so hard to do? I always hear people talking about angle grinder etc?
I think mind need doing, they were on the MOT advisories when I bought the car, or at least something was...
This weekend saw a service and proper clean over at "Giraffe Motor's"
Oil and filter changed, air filter cleaned, two new balljoints.
Just need a new driveshaft (to hopefully stop my ticking) and then the tracking done.
Oh and to pick up the 25mm spacers I've had sitting waiting for me...
Re: Ph1 Mini Service & Clean
Cheers 'topher. I'm itching to get the f1's on though, I need things proper OEM+ (like yours :o)
Re: The wheel, do it! It's actually a rather cheap one, and the polyeutherane as opposed to leather feels great. 300mm is an absolute joy to drive with too!
Re: Ph1 Mini Service & Clean
Cv joints won't cause creaking, that's normally suspension related. I'll take a look when you come over to do balljoints. Peroni tokens sit fine with me lad. :)
So it did get cleaned then, right?
Re: Ph1 Mini Service & Clean
CV joints Luke?
If they're gone, it's new driveshafts really!!!
I can do the balljoints for you no problem though, feel free to pop over or whatever.
FFS!!
Poor motor, didn't you hit a bird on the way to CSS too? Is someone putting bird seed on your car? LOL
