This stuff makes me laugh!!
My old 1.2 16v was awesome, i loved it to bits! But it was dog slow!
All my mates thought it was quicker than theirs, because my speedo was 10mph out at 60mph on the speedo, was only doing 51mph! (standard wheels and tyres) so they all thought it was rapid!
Here's the bike 'naked'!
So far I've changed the plugs and cleaned a few bits up.
Need to do the oil and filter change on it, clean the air filter, fit the fuel filter, new sprockets/chain. Also need some new pads pretty badly so need to find some money for them from somewhere.
Autosol'd the...
Oh s**t!
That looks amazing!
Now my mind is chaging.......
White plastics
White wheels / or green?!
Carbon bits and bobs
Black rear subframe etc as it currently is
Black seat
Subtle carbon effect stickers
I have a white helmet too, so that blends in a bit....
I hate agreeing with you because it seems the in thing to do on here (;)) but gotta agree with this to be honest....
I'll get some pics of the bike in bits tonight!
hmm, would like yellow but mate has a yellow gixxer...
Plus it's a bit too Cliosport!
It's got a seatcowl on now as said. I'm leaving the rear pegs I think just incase I do take anyone on it.
Was thinking some subtle stickers blending into the paintwork?
It had a full custom respray and stickers around 3 years ago, which is how it stands now.
Right, so here's my R6....
Differences from the old pics are it now has a rear seat cowl, that gay bar removed and a few carbon bits and bobs on it.
Currently stripped down as it needs a damn good service, new sprockets etc, but when it comes off the road in winter I'm going to do some...
Began my mates Focus RS today, clayed it earlier in the week so the paintwork was all ready to go, so a quick wash to begin with.
A few before shots showing the extent of the swirling/RDS:
Now, I had the following bits:
Intensive polish
Power Gloss
Megs diamond cut
Final finish...
Tried to fit one for Slammed172 today when I played with his coilovers, could nto do it to save my life!!
Is there a nack to getting it on, or just persevere slipping about in grease until you get lucky?!
That right there is 2 out of my top ten garage!
However, for top 3, only one of them would make it, and it isnt the choice most on here would make.....
The coilovers will come with all you need, however I would recommend getting some solid front top mounts, these will give better feel as your standard ones are probably shagged anyways.
As for the measurements, I cant remember which dimension is the cup packed ones, but if you search on here...
I know this is a sign of HGF, however I'm sure it's a fairly common thing on these engines, both my old 1.2's had it.
There is tons of coolant and none is being used. The car is used daily for a 22mile round commute so it isnt a particularly short journey.
Anyone shed some light?
H&R, AST, KW all 100% do kits for the cup packed 182's.
H&R would be last on the list for me, I've had AST and H&R, dont rate the H&R as much as everyone else does. Heard very good things about KW's.
