I wish I had the energy to project mine properly like this, I've done a fair whack to it now, but I'm just too busy getting stuck in to grab my camera and make it dirty :o
Awesome progress, I love how you've actually started from nothing with this, and the fact you're bothering to photo and write about everything.
Makes for great reading and probably (imo) the most interesting project on here.
Keep it up :)
The headlights just take a very fine paper, maybe a few grades if they're bad, say 1200, 1500, 2000... then a polish up with a half decent polish.
I made mine look half decent with scratch x and a drill bit attachment, then some SRP.
It was a rather large turn out for a small meet. Good stuff.
Nice to see a half decent following in the South East, and based upon that I'll be organising something for shortly after CSS :)
My favourite bit is the bug that crawls into the boot at 18 seconds, awesome.
Two things before you make another, refurb the wheels and sort the headlights.
If it's going to be standard, it needs to be mint.
P.s - nice first attempt :)
I've been putting off purchasing one incase I was on holiday, looks like I'm safe so I'll buy one later when I can be bothered to walk up stairs and get my wallet :)
The clutch being low is fine, infact it's a pretty rare quality in a clio. If anything, disconnect the clutch cable at the selector on the GB, pump the cutch pedal (this resets the ratchet mech in the pedal) then re-attach.
The gearstick can be moved about by undoing the 13mm bolt and moving...
Are the balljoints 10 or 12mm bolts and holes??
For some reason they offer two options on the 172, the 10mm will knock their tits off due to being to small for the holes, the 12's will be just fine.
Easy thing to check, get it done.
I don't have a white thing, mine's just the thing underneath (which can pop up and down a bit (about 4mm))
I intend to just use pliers to adjust... lol!
Impreza, a bigger picture? I can't click that!
This is for those that have dampening adjustment only ...
Has anyone got the info on how they're adjusted?
I've either lost, or never had mine...?
Basically, the little "bit" on top of the struts pops up and down...
Do I need to up or down to adjust?
Also, which way makes it...
This looks utterly amazing, a real credit to you. Definitely worth it after all the hard work, it made for great reading too.
I really want to a build a mini now, not a mental one like this, but something a bit more simple but still awesome.
I actually don't mind the initial design, but I can 100% see where everyone is coming from what with you being a 'tog and all that, it probably could do with being incoporated.
If you are going to go for the top one, make sure the QR tag is 100000% central on the card and is smaller than that.
I'm entirely unsure how this passed me by, could have been the silly name ;)
Looks bloody awesome and for the price you really cannot complain! Jesus!
Look forward to seeing what you do with it mate.
