Daily runner, nothing exciting

[VIICarCare]

I've already experianced the intermitten starting problems

Went to Bath to buy this, It was peeing down so I couldn't really see what I was buying. 71k, early 02, 2 previouse keepers. Nice little project for me, If I can put up with It!

Read my wanted thread, I need them!

Shes abit rusty round the edges but I'll get her straight

 

[MikeB]

I predict one week and that will be gleaming!

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.

 

[VIICarCare]

^ lol, why? I plan on cleaning her up this weekend, just to see the damage under all that crap. I Intend on getting her de dented

 

[chriscummins7]

wheels look filthy on the vee

 

[VIICarCare]

I think I'll be needing all the cash I can get my hands on with this one!

Just a good detail, set of alloys & engine put right Is on the cards

 

[VIICarCare]

They would be after doing 200 miles on a wet filthy motorway

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

I'll decide later and let you know.

If you wanted something to polish, you could have just come to see my new beast (as of Saturday)...!

 

[MikeB]

New beast? Do tell

 

[koi]

Needs deflowered

Sure you'll have it looking as good as it's bigger sister soon

 

[Rob]

New beast? Do tell

He won't, he's caught homo-itis, terrible shame.

Magipie - I'm interested as to how you can make this look. Please don't clean the vee for a month, and detail this to within an inch of its life, then take some vice versa pics

 

[VIICarCare]

I can definately report back after the detail, as for not cleaning Betty, well .... we'll see!

 

[st3ve]

Is it a 1.2 8v?

 

[VIICarCare]

Not sure If Its the 8 or 16v, left the paperwork at work

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

He won't, he's caught homo-itis, terrible shame.

Shame ? Surely that sort of thing is right up your alley, ya cross dressing name stealer !!

:rasp:

 

[BIFCAIDS]

whats the cause of the intermittent starting problem as mine does it and its embarrassing

 

[Curtis!]

8V doesn't have sun roof iirc? What bullets does it have?

If I were you I wouldn't clean it.. as you'll only go down hill with that! :rasp:

 

[VeinAST]

Crank sensor? Starter motor?

 

[DB.]

Mmmmmm V6...Oh, Nice runaround! lol

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Crank sensor? Starter motor?

what prices am i looking at? (thats if you know that is.)

 

[Curtis!]

If it cranks and doesn't fire up, then would be crank sensor, try cleaning it first though!

Mine does it occassionally and starts after I touch the wires going into the sensor. Terribly embarassing at 8:15am at a set of traffic lights with high curbs, on a busy road when the car dies!

 

[Tigger]

Nice one Dawn - little & large beside the BIG sister there lol
Will be sweet in your careful hands - in no time!

As for not starting - mine does that sometimes, but won't even crank, fire or show any warning lights :S
5 minutes later it goes as normal - try that one! lol

 

[Rob]

what prices am i looking at? (thats if you know that is.)

£25 tops.

Very easy to change.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

I'll keep my eye out for you now in a clio. lol
Where are you going to get it de-dented? dentbusters are meant to be good, plus they turn up in their wicked mkV golfs.

 

[VIICarCare]

^^^ Im deffo owing you a few slaps when we meet laddo! May give the guy a call that once worked for dentbusters, he did my sis' meggy.

Cheers guys, my bro cleaned all the usual suspects today, inc full service etc & now she seems fine Im happy

 

[littleC18]

Yeah we definatly should! also,not deep dish unless its going to be slammed. some 172 wheels perhaps?

 

[VIICarCare]

Yeh, I've decided against the euro look. Just some decent wheels & lowered a little. Maybe some spacers depending how it looks after that. Then some colour coding, yellow wheels, yellow details etc etc! lol! One step at a time!

My main aim Is the bodywork atm, gettin the dents removed in the next few weeks

 

[BIFCAIDS]

all it needs is you'r magic touch with the cleaning gear, cheapish coilovers and the right set of wheels and its perfect

 

[Leeshez]

Nice cars.

 

[VIICarCare]

^ aw cheers mate! Hoping to get some dynamique wheels. What coilcovers do I need? I thought just springs would do it? Soz, Im new to modding!

I'd like her to sit pretty much where my old ff 182 did untouched. ta

 

[Rob]

Pick up some ph1 or ph2 172 wheels, both will sort it well and neither are that expensive at the moment

I'd be interested as to how nice a set of wheels, springs and a "Magpie Clean" can make this wee thing look.

Oh and an RS grille

 

[VIICarCare]

where do i start with lowering it?
