Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

i did ask if you wanted me to check the box!

still cool being able to remove the engine and box from your car without having to touch the bumper!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Looks absolutely fantastic. . Amazing how much time and effort you've put into it.

It looked like this when I owned it many many moons ago......:

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Aw, thanks mate its been well kept

 

[Greeny.]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Looks great, but as Gray said, really needs some front spacers! FK alloy ones are probably the cheapest for a decent set, otherwise Delta Mics are cheaper but really heavy.

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Looks awesome. Nice when the hard work pays off, truly does look great.

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

always weird to look back at them when they were standard

 

[Silent_Scone]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

lol, huff. The only things it had done to it when I bought it, the wench had sprayed the wheels satin black (badly) and the side strips (badly). Pretty sure the only thing thats original on it is the aerial lol.

Jonny, might see yours up there then mate, not sure yet.. I'm really trying to get the money together, I have been using the car but it's got a really terrible flat spot at the moment at around 3,5k and it does my head in... needs the magic touch and I've just not had the funds yet.

Not much happening this end at the moment. Money situation has put the car on hold currently but I'm looking to get by...

There have been a few times where I've considered giving in and selling up to free up some cash madly... but after all the money work and effort thats been put into I'd rather have an alligator bite my **** off.

I'm planning on going up with the car to TDF towards the end of March and go from there. Although Fred and Sam @ BTM have done a great job putting the replacement lump in without a map and a serious re-wire as far as tracking it and any given hard abuse is concerned I can't help but look at it as a paper weight

At the end of the day it all boils down to money, but I refuse to let it put a smack on my spirits and watch this space for some progress hopefully soon.


Bloody car

 

[Russ_16v]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
