Go lainer, it's your birthday, go lainer its your birthday!

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner lol, keep plodding along chap, i do everything on my heap myself, so i only have me to blame!

as above, could be pump or something half blocking the pickup

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner if its anything like mine, you'll never be happy, its an evolution thing, the project will never be 'done'

nice tripod'ing :)

ai they are darn light, i have a couple of sets and i weighed about 4 of them across both sets of 5 and they were all pretty much 5.1-5.3kg, book weight is 4.9 i think so slightly more but still v. light :)

nice result, hopefully all at no further cost to yourself?

right little giggle that must be :)

thats the kiddie, i havent bought any in a while as normally acquire it through a mate of mine :)

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner yep, and more again to clean up the quesitonable stains from aforementioned 'beetches' ;)

you can buy just the boot, however fitting it is less than fun as you have to remove the tripod from the shaft or split the outer CV to get the boot/bearing over the shaft. personally, i'd just source a decent second hand shaft and take it along with tools to drain oil and swap shaft at the...

i use oz superleggera, pretty light, lightest wheel i've seen in terms of actually weighing a bare rim, they came in at 5.2kg a corner with spigot and centre cap. belive some of the jap stuff is lighter, enkei and rota's are light but never owned any so no idea! pro race 1.2's were 6.4kg...

i use the tranself stuff recommended for the box, think its 75W-80 iirc

ensure you keep the coolant dilution correct coming into the winter as well, basically get it fixed and proper coolant back in before the cold sets in, if your coolant freezes there will be more than a new radiator to worry about ;)

as above, sounds like either clutch release bearing or input shaft bearings

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner simply beautiful car, it should meet my mk1 for a grey car on silver wheel with trinkets meet :) I would recommend never selling it, its an absolute stunner and entirely yours, well done chap

cheers chap :)

No Dazza man, just no, go flock with the rest ;) cheers Lukey :)

Small update since Blyton park earlier in the year the brakes have felt awful, so this weekend I decided to investigate. firstly the rear bias valve was set completely wrong, slack as anything meaning little to know rear brake effort, enough for MOT but insufficient for what I want, so I...

There's a catch up thread in projects, not updated in a while so it's a few pages down. I'll probably stick an update up today :)

Cheers people :) Dave you need to boost the bean, sack off the sauerkraut ideas ;) Finney there's one for sale right now, same age and colour with F4R in it over on c16v, head over for a look see!

nice work mate, looks tidy :)

xx see you in half hour Davey, ready for some boooooooost? ;-)

nothing really left to do Neil mate, so i'm just whoring the wheels around, got some turinis, some willy wheels and some 2118's on stock as well to sling on it at some point, see what she looks like! track days and road blasts, just enjoying it now really, its a right giggle and love it just as...

Decided for a bit of a change i'd pop the silver superlegs on the mk 1, gives me a chance to clean and seal the black ones as they've not had a proper clean since i had them refurbed couple of years back :-) anyway, no more waffle, pics, comments welcome :-) cheers Ben

Nice buy man, I was in talks with the chap you bought it off a while back, very nearly pulled the trigger but decided to hold out for a FF spec RB :) I love the powdercoated bay, safe to say mine will get same treatment when I get it :)

So much car for so little money :cool:

popular are mongoose and magnex, both are a bit droney rather than raspy though and imo the mongoose tailpipe is too big, the magnex looks much better on the car. if you want noisey/raspy then a scorpion or even if you feel v brave an oreca will do the job ;)

I use heavy duty velcro, works a treat and means plate can be removed for cleaning behind it, put back on, swapped wasily for show plate/track plates (or no plate) etc etc

amen! ;)
