Few more bits to replace yet Jacob, and the headlights polishing ;) Long term project :)

He just said he'd been banned for a month. Even when I had 6 points my insurance wasn't high, depends on so many things. Sucks about the bootlid Danny, worth getting a second hand one?

Yeah its annoying but the positive experiences far outweigh the negatives. Least I didn't use PayPal gift so I can always claim if it comes to that.

I always knew it needed belts, just the other bits that's annoying. Plus I've paid out over £200 on stuff from cs members that hasn't turned up yet

More time for all the bolts to go rusty

Same faults as a phase 2 basically

Sbridgey was doing a good job tripoding with his arb, he has standard suspension though

Coops? I don't want 16s.

How much are 3 straight ones, one bent one and one with a bit missing from the rim worth? With 6 centre caps... Now I need to decide whether I want Pro Race 1.2s or another set of F1s from sbridgey

Nice wheels.

Cheers Si. I'll probably have the set of F1s off you Tbh, just need to check with the boss.

I will, when its ruined me financially! Annoyed with the people I've bought stuff off recently too.

Engine bay needs a couple of litres of petrol and a couple of matches Tbh, along with the rest of the car

Timing belt Lucky the belt didn't snap Tbh. New belt, dephaser, crankshaft oil seal, resealed rocker cover and oil pump cover

Got a quote of £60 to get the dash flocked. Other stuff to spend money on though atm

Bought it off a chap on here. Keep an eye out in the for sale section.

See my post yesterday, before the piss taking :p Hopefully the spare isn't bent! Thats my new coffee table sorted anyway.

What has been said above, removed mine in a few mins. You will also need a 22mm socket for the main nut behind the plastic on the boot which holds the motor on to the boot lid (maybe just a phase 1 thing?!) If you just want to fill the hole then a grommet from Halfords is £1.59 for a pack

Same as me. I've emailed a local place for a quote on flocking but I'd rather spend the money on other things for now.

Would that affect the airbag working in anyway? I still have the airbag and the old dashtop so could get them flocked. I'd rather have a phase 2 dash though.

Yeah that went when the non sport dash top was installed. Hate looking at that blue colour they used for the dash top in phase 1s. Even if you flocked the dash you'd still have the blue airbag there.

There's a track in Long Eaton? You should get some of those track layout stickers, because you've been there

Love this car, its good to see it getting used again.

I'm sorry Mick I can't hear you over your yellow tow strap. Graham I'm not sure what they'll look like on the car, I'll find out on Friday.

Dropped the car off with Mick for belts and a couple of other issues. Engine mounts were supposed to arrive today but haven't. The dogbone I bought from Russ last week also hasn't arrived so hoping they both turn up tomorrow as Friday is the perfect opportunity to fit them. Thoughts on this...

No one?

Just hit a pothole...that's one bent F1 then.

Have a good look around the dash to make sure there's nothing keeping it in place. Wire might be caught somewhere?

Yeah its not cheap but has a lot of functionality and doesn't look too out of place in the E39 dash. I think normal DIN sized stereos can look rubbish in E39s/E46s
