Couple of snaps from Cadwell yesterday, had a good day and impressed with the car for basically standard (ish) and many many miles. Performed faultlessly!
That's s**t matey, no damage to the roof though hopefully?
Also, you going to weld that new clip into the box? They have a habit unfortunately of going again once they pop the first time.
More work today, rear stripped out, evol black series dogbone and powerflex black upper engine mount insert fitted. And also nicked the pms shifter off the track car and slapped that on too. Can't wait for Cadwell now!!
You know what @boomerbang2006 when I get the odyssey back on the road I'll pop down and see you for an old boys meet, glad you're back in the game and lavishing love on the new 'missus' although I never frequented the mondeo forums so no idea if you approached the in-between daily the same?!
What a nice find, but the 5's oh good lord the 5's!!! That tungy, I'd of just transferred ownership to an incredibly trustworthy mate and claimed bankruptcy. What a car
Don't need to touch any of the belt system, just jack the engine up and undo the top mount bracket and remove the bits you need to replace.
I'm such a pikie I don't even remove the undertray, just jack it up till it supports engine, lol
Rear arb and powerflex black engine mount insert added today, so basically ready now, too soon though I'm gagging to get out on track and the squealing front pads are doing my head in day to day, flol!!
Reckon it's probably got a leak then as bought car from you in April last year I think so lasted about 14 months after you gassed it, I'll get it leak checked first I reckon and replace some seals etc
It's a total lottery too, 182 had it 6 years and climate always worked perfectly, even had engine out do belts and @MicKPM just kept the gas and popped it back in. No seals renewed, nothing and still perfect...... Phase 1 died after naff all time as discussed
Yeah mines not exactly a replaced everything nut and bolt resto, lol, just a well maintained high miler. But tbh value of it doesn't really concern me anymore, I paid little for it in the grand scale of things many years ago so had more than my money's and enjoyments worth out of it!
But every...
One would suspect not, however it's nice to see them commanding decent cash in all honesty. Although with 6x the mileage on it mine may be slightly less valuable.... Lol
