Yeh with the vag clio running vmaxx s**t this car seemed a no brainer lol the b14s are mint proper mint on it.

 

[cs_dave]

Well things very come close to an end for me on monday while removing the engine from the 172 parts car. Using the fork lift to jack up from the subframe i started undoing the dogbone and the car rolled back and dropped on top of me leaving me in the yard on my own stuck :-(. Lucky it wasnt the full weight as i car as it caught the very front where rad sits. Im very lucky after screaming like a girl as i couldnt move a bloke heard me and come raised the car. All is good

On a plus note the f**king thing dies tomorrow

Also got my few goodies

Bilstein B14s
20mm spacers with stud and nuts
10mm rear spacers

The parts i could be bothered to remove are in the for sale section but i lost love for this car very quickly lol

Yeh pays to support under the car i was rushing as i promised the engine to a guy so ignored simple rules like gravity lol.

Axle stands people USE them!

 

[LeeRS]

It was worth it for those billys though

That is true lol. Was down the yard today looking at the poor 182 its going to be some work getting it where i want it but will keep me busy.

 

[cs_dave]

Sold the cobra bucket seats today so back on std 182 seats my god i dont miss the high seat but i much prefer the look again. Nearly cleared all the bits i have kicking around and the 172 i have on my old mans drive so will be able to invest some time into the Black gold and get the grey one cleaned abit. These dark nights dont help anything need to find a breaker with a carbon bonnet now

 

[cs_dave]

Well after 6 hour around trip ive finally got a carbon bonnet!. Yeh it needs work but it has the lockable areo catches that was on the spec list im after so im a happy bunny. Just waiting on a pair of carbon blanks ive bought from a guy on facebook that should be here already.

 

[Duck Hunt]

what you doing with your old blanks ill buy them

 

[Mr Plums]

Bonnet looks brand new.

 

[cs_dave]

Bonnet looks brand new.

Yeh needs a good rub down and re laquer as do most carbon bonnets. Only cost me £80 plus £40 in petrol so still cheap for what it is.

 

[LeeRS]

Stoki4ker who used to be on here had a bonnet like that on at CSF.
Was exactly the same. wonder if he sold it onto the guy you bought it off.
Same catches the lot.

Mike yeh we get on the blokes a legand. Went to a rolling road day the once mike just starts pulling loads of stuff out the car pop box's of crisps and sweets lol

 

[LeeRS]

LOL yep thats him.
We were up evo triangle and he started pulling out bags of doritos, double deckers the lot.
He knows how to blow a gearbox thata for sure.

 

[cs_dave]

Going to invest in aload of wet n dry tomoz give the bonnet a going over see how it comes up.

 

[cs_dave]

As with all my plans things have changed lmao a option to buy a well speced cup on here was to tempting so i waved good bye to the black gold 182. With a trip into the unknown lands of sheep land me and @LeeRS went to pick it up. What a car its spot on i really really like it alot such a shame it will end up in parts i will sort a for sale thread this week.

 

[LeeRS]

Cracking road trip.
Really like this car. shame to see it broken tbh but needs must.
I can genuinley say this sounds mint, goes like stink and the parts on it really are spot on.
I would buy it all if i had the cash and im not just saying that. The turinis are immaculate.

 

[Stay Puft]

Nice cup. What was the reason it was sold, something wrong with it structurally or something?

Its ad a front ender in the past it dosnt effect the drive in any way and the car looks the part. Done 100+ miles getting it home with no issues drives straight @ADS1982 was honest a true gent

 

[Stay Puft]

Thats good then mate. I want those nicely refurbed turinis!!

 

[imprezaworks]

[cs_dave]

[Stay Puft]

Sorry for bringing it up/mentioning it. s**t situation for everyone and probably out of order/unnecessary to bring it up initially for Alex if it was fixed to a standard which didnt affect anything.
