My bad then, the bolts must be still attatched because they are not visible here. Even so, bolted through the rim like that will never be strong enough surely? As all you are relying on is the head of the bolt??

Would you buy them? I have a friend of a friend who designs and manufactures Coilover units for Proper heavy stuff. He's done work for TVR, Morgan etc. He has just buils some for my mates completely custom built 7.2 V8 Aston. My friend has (today actually) had some rear coilover units...

I'm sorry, but that is the worst designed wheel i've seen! The spokes were glued to the rim! And they charged £6000 for this s**t?!

You'd have lost more weight by farting!

I have spoken to ph-reebon off the forum. (Don't want people to think i'm being rude! lol)

Your dads plate? Thats awesome mate, nice one!

Looks very nice! Whats the plate all about?? (And i'm really sorry, but that subframe that was on your shell, was it a williams one? I can't really measure it against mine as mine was/is battered and twisted.)

Are you running power steering boner?

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... Thanks chaps. Sadly (its a good thing really!) Sam has rubbished a fair bit of my previous conversion. He has ripped out all the brake lines I made, my heater matrix pipes etc. He just threw loads of stuff in the bin and said...

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... Today was a good day!! Grey one all stripped down, engine bay painted gloss black in the blue one, engine/subframe built up ready for nice dry paint tomorrow and we can start putting it all back together. Ten hours well spent! Time...

I'd be trying a few other things before I went to the expense of replacing the rack!!

Tried a coolant temp sensor?

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... Perfect!

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... Just me until 12pm, then sam in the afternoon and he's with me all day sunday. Plan is... Sat AM: Strip grey one down, go and weigh the shell in. Sat PM: Paint the engine bay in the blue shell. Gloss black. Sunday: Fit blue...

Have i?? I must be getting soft.

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... Up at my mates garage, RCK mechanics in soundwell. Literally 2 minutes from my place. Ramp, roof, lights £20k's worth of snap-on and loads of space! Makes a change from my garage where i've got a 10mm spanner, some cable ties and a...

Really? I've read it back and I sound like a prick. It wasn't meant to come accross like that, sorry.

I Can't stop looking at that clio!! Looks superb!

His question was... ''Whats best to CLEAN metal'' Not polish it.

Scrooge and Rob in a pad?? Just need .luke. and The friendly giraffe and we've got a full house of lovely cockneys.

Why haven't we seen that grey rep before?? looks bloody wicked! And does that audi need a pair of front tyres?? The n/s/f looks slick! lol.

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... Just spent an hour loading the car onto the truck. The big re-shell starts tomorrow and I cannot WAIT! :D

Of course it is! You clean it up with the wool/pad, then work it with a MF cloth to polish it. I did my entire impreza exhaust and it was mirror perfect!

Who the hell is this lunatic! lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV1ccPmVqyk&feature=channel&list=UL

I just wanted to be mean to you. Because you're an asshole. Cheer up dude. :)

Autosol and either wire wool or your mums brillo pad.

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... LOL!

I'd get that one repaired, but use one of your current wheels for your car.

Nice! Whats the spec of the car? Any pictures of it? (I'll keep my eye out for you!)

That garage is right next door to Mace's local boozer (proper rough!) and about 30 seconds from his house.
