Golf 7.5R & Clio 200
I know I know. But its more fun blaming you. Fixed it yet?
Never disappoint, your car sounds too good.
Golf 7.5R & Clio 200
Nice one. I have a chap collecting some alloys from me, I'll drop you a text before I leave. I even have the money to pay for the part this time too.
Lots has happend, but very little pics..
Firstly, as above I fixed RyG's 172. Driveshaft replacement, reprogramming UCH (Auto lights, Auto Wipers and headlight washers didn't work) and airbag lights programming off, plus brake fluid change, pedal is much better now!
Then onto ventura's Ph1.
I stripped off the final of the blue painted crap, and checked the cam timing (luckily its correct!)
Before handing it all to Dr Jekyll for blasting and painting!
In return for pissing about...
Got it back together...
Hit an EPIC mileage too.
Also helped my brother move house, and proved you can fit a Clio down the side of his house....
Next up is fixing the Black DCi, cleaning Robs Ph1 and doing Bedford this Friday!

My poor car
Good news on Rob Ventura's car. I'm sure he's happy with your work and all bit changed and done on it.

Alex what are you painting his car bits with? Looks much shinier silver than the VHT Paint ive been using!
Might give that a look then! the paint I use always comes out dull
Finally got the Black 80 done!
Got some 80 Boost pipes on ebay, I had stole various bits for my DCi. Got a bargain at £40 posted for this lot!
Put some recon injectors from eBay in it (£280 posted!), and it fired up no problem. Did a few miles in it, fitted some new Rainsport 3's and then handed it over to my mother.
Then on a high from that, I got on with the Lagunna at last.
I pulled this heavy PK6 b*****d out.
Big hole
Flywheel is well fooked (Video)
Going to swap the flywheel to my solid conversion one, and see how far I get. I refused to remove the subframe, so getting the box out was a b*****d!

Felt like getting some more done...
Got the flywheel off, comparison between Dual Mass and Single mass.
With Cluthes
Whipped the cat off too, ideal for gutting.
Then checked out the odd feeling steering on the Black DCi...
These look bloody old, and had massive amounts of play.
Shiney new ones fitted, Looks like the Inners were done not that long ago too! Will get the tracking done tomorrow.
I do laugh at how small these standard brakes are
Drives much better now.

You just cant help yourself.
Maybe you need to drink some brake fluid and kiss some calipers so you start to get thinking straight....

Hasn't helped you though has it!
Bit of an update..
Recently rode a very loud motorbike, and didn't die...
Took the drivers seat out to hoover everything and remove the little spacers under the seat to get it a bit lower.
Vacuumed the whole interior, wet vac'd the seats and floor mats, Will give it another going over before Wales in a couple of weeks.
Then changed the rear shocks, Bought the new ones ages ago but been too busy.
Dug out a sport carpet that I've had for ages but haven't had time to clean, or fit. Its so dirty and manky, even myself, as a dirty f**ker didn't want to touch it.
Pressure washed that, then run out of time and haven't touched it since, still needs another deep clean.
At the same time, heres how dirty my car was...
But yep, I decided to wash it....
Got a list of stuff to do before Llandow (and the rest of my Welsh adventure)....
Fix aircon
Change N/S driveshaft
Fit sport carpet (not a major requirement tho)
Buy spare set of brake pads
Fit new tyres to track wheels
Service (Only needs oil, filter and fuel filter)
Straighten exhaust
Fix Cruise Control
Looking forward to it though.
In other news, I've been working on f**king loads of Clios recently, but not taken any pics, besides this single picture, how can somebody live with this for a year?!
More soon hopefully.

Suzuki?
His is particularly bad.
CCM, Suzuki engine though, 650cc single. Is basically a copy of a DRZ.
Had a pair of tyres delivered the other day, so dug out some spare wheels I had.
Fitted them up
Then test fitted on the car...
Scrub a bit...
Put the road S-Drives back on obviously.
Then while laughing at Dr Jekyll I got some pics of my shed
Got a new keyring from Renault Wovlo too.
Got loads of stuff to do before Llandow.

Fix aircon
Change N/S/F ABS ring
Remove front arch liners
Service
Fit dogbone mount
Nut & bolt check
Poss change top mounts.
