LOL at thread dying.

[Greeny.]

Ive jsut re-read through the first 20 pages and forgot how many there where! Ill have to have another look through the rest later.

Best thread on here imo!

I hear you about the long journys tho, this is exactly the reason why mine is only half stripped so the front end is near standard, minus steering wheel, buckets, harnesses etc.

 

[Jay Payne]

Car is dead, Ecu/immobiliser issue, thats it now, end of........



But on a lighter note, its replacement arrived today :approve:

[Jay Payne]

Update and an introduction to the new car........


Im very pleased with it, its an absolutle joy to drive. needed to do some small jobs tho. So on with the thread............

I had to change 2 brake light bulbs, lubricate the door catch and wiper linkage (squeeking like mad) Tightened the pas belt and checked all the levels.

Had a small lake in the boot,

as I didnt have a shotgun handy I made some holes with a big drill.

Took a good 5mins for the 4 inches of water to drain away, wont have the problem again now with the holes in there.


The passenger mirror was in a bad way but luckily managed to track one down at the local scrappy, not colour coded but hey ho.

The old one had been bodged with a screw and was hanging like a limp dick

Was quite an easy job to swap over, remove a cover and undo 3 screws

New one fitted.........

Topped up the engine with some 'Ferrari' oil

May need to put some front tyres on soon but other than that its spot on. Gonna get it on the ramp at my mates soon and make sure there isnt any nastys under there.

Very happy with it, 72k and purrs like a kitten

 

[Gray]

Magma 12v ftw!!!

 

[maynard]

damn what is it?! vectra possibly as a guess at the side on pic?

 

[Gray]

Defiantly not a Vectra.... something more exotic I think?


Some sort of Proton by the looks of it Proton Saga or something like that?

 

[Jay Payne]

No its a 'Lotus'

[Topgeartom]

Starship.

Proton Wira (called the persona in the uk)

I'm going to go out on a limb and say its the 1.5 version which means 89 mighty bhp, and 126 Nm of toqrue.

Epic.

 

[Jay Payne]

Yep, a Persona, Based on an old Mitsubishi (Not sure what) it is indeed the GLSI model with the 1.5L engine

Cool, had no idea how much power was under that slightly dented and rusty bonnet. Quite pleasing to know it has more go than the wifes 206Hdi African land snail edition.

You appear very knowlegable on the suject of Malaysian Lotus's Tom, Why is this?

Have far too much time on my hands.

Think the old man had one many years back as a courtesy car. Said it was awful but you could tell he bloody loved it.

 

[Jay Payne]

Wira is a Malay word that translates into English as "Hero".

 

[Jonny1*2]

[bomber]

Em laughed quite alot when she heard about the 'lotus'
