Daniels Blue 182.

Today when driving to work I had the car talking to me twice, once was ABS lights and the stop lights and all that.

Then when in traffic I had the flashing engine light. Shall have a scan of it when i'm home. Weird little car.

 

[Mr Plums]

I've had endless problems since my turbo conversion bud, some not turbo related mind, dont worry about it!

I came out of sports direct yesterday and some c***s opened their door on my door, you can see a small dent in the right light

I'm going to give the dent man a ring when I get off my hols, get him to do the whole car fuckit lol.

 

[Yanoo]

Highly appreciated that man, just about to order this which is the filtration module so I can just swap it straight over. The car is off the road in a few days anyway as it's getting the gearbox refurbished and fitted with a new selector shaft seal as mines leaking all over.

Out of interest and not to question your knowledge obviously but where does the concern lay? Is it with the stresses on the bolt?! When I took it for a drive yesterday it felt sublime changing gear.

Now the tightened bolt fixes the rotational axis. Despite the ny-lock nut it may become lose resulting play in the elbow joint. If the bolt begins to move in the hole, that will widen that. (the fork type linkage end supports the bolt at 2 points and separates the nylock nut and its washer from the rotating small linkage rod, it is safe solution.) In the worst scenario that gear linkage end may break. Safety the first and foremost.

Know someone decent as I've got a few in mine that were there when I bought it and wouldn't mind getting rid?

I dont mate sorry, ill have a search when I get back from Egypt in a couple of weeks.

 

[dann2707]

Dad sent me this, this morning. Dying to get out of work and fit the b******s!!

 

[dann2707]

All fitted and over the moon with how they look! They look so much darker on these pics though. I'm going through the process of getting some paint mixed up to spray the bullets the same colour too.

I need to let it all settle then play with the suspension to get the height right as it's high at the moment.

 

[bashracing]

Hanging around kids nurseries again?

 

[Matthew]

Hmmm hate to say it, but doesn't work for me mate.

Never have liked TDs and black ones even less.

Your call though!

 

[sam55]

I'm a fan, reminds me of the old Cup race cars on 15-inch wheels!

 

[Brookie.]

I like it! I think it needs OEM silver bullets though to keep the fresh look. Not a fan of dark ones.

Oh, and tyre shine. :tonguewink:

 

[leedsboy]

A bit lower and that'll look spot on.

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Does look really good!

 

[dann2707]

Thanks for the comments guys appreciate good and bad replies always!

I'll adjust the fronts lower and I might have to remove the adjuster cup at the rear as that's the lowest it can go atm! The back seats will be out soon too so it won't look chavvy low.

Haven't given the tyres a good hammering yet as I'll wait a hundred miles or so first.

 

[dann2707]

I also think I might have to hammerite the rear trailing arm as you can see the rust through the spokes of the wheels now

Shall we say the weekend of the 3rd July? I can't do this weekend as I'm in Poland but would definitely be available the one after.

They'll all be sorted for the driving meet on the 17th then

Sounds good to me, I'm off to the lakes tomorrow for the weekend anyway. Just need to get the camber bolts ordered at some point as well. May even be cheeky and ask for you to show me how to fit my bigger knob.

Still got you on WhatsApp I think so I'll drop you a message next week

 

[dann2707]

Yeah no worries at all mate, just got to drop the cat which can be a bit of a pain if your bolts are rusted to f**k but we'll do it :up: @leeds2592

Brill, thanks again, I'll make sure I stick some WD40 on them (If I can find them haha) a day or two before.

 

[debussetti]

You just want your car to me mine, don't you Dann? Our cars are alarmingly similar!

How long did it take TyreLEader to ship your tyres, I ordered some on Saturday and haven't heard anything...

Are they?! different spoiler, different wheels+tyres, you have roll correction and strut brace, different seats, I have harnesses, you have rear strut brace, you have f**king aerocatches everywhere they couldn't be any more dissimilar haha

3 days they took matey.

 

[TRH_Racing]

i love your car ..

 

[kieranadams97]

Wheels look spot on mate, this car is honestly one of my favourites on the forum.

 

[bashracing]

If you get stabbed in Poland can I have your car?

 

[dann2707]

Thanks Al mate see you soon, are you coming CSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ?

Thanks a lot Kieran, means a lot dude

I think you mean when rather than if but yeah man, she's all yours. I've also got the buckets coming on the 17th of July so i'll change the delivery address to yours too.

I've taken a few more pictures to whore the wheels out some more 😂

I like how they stick out more at the rear than the standards for those extra scene points y0

Finally happy with taking a pic of my car from the side now, always avoided it after curbing my wheels before haha

 

[The Russian.]

Coming on well ah kid.

 

[Matthew]

Looks boss from behind.

 

[Jekyll]

Looking schweeeet!!

 

[TRH_Racing]

I dunno if I can get the day off dude!

3 days they took matey.

Aftermarket spoiler, both going to be running 15" wheels sprayed black, standard fabia splitter, removed washers, bilsteins, PMS top mounts, buckets, Megane shifter with yanoo, small steering wheel...

Obviously not a carbon copy, I just notice similarities.

In all seriousness, your car is looking awesome at the moment and I'm really looking forward to TFTD2.

 

[dann2707]

It's going to amazing dude!

Wonder if I'll make a faster time with the solid engine mounts and arb as I didn't have those last time.

 

[debussetti]

RARB, maybe. Engine mounts, I wouldn't think so.

 

[dann2707]

Was thinking on the straight if the power can be be put down sooner. I suppose there's only one way to find out - let's do some calculations

 

[Rob G]

Loving the car dude! Whats the throw like with the scenic shifter? Or have you shortened the linkage aswel as fitting the yanoo kit?

It feels about the same as standard mate in terms of throw. I didn't shorten it down but it does feel perfect

Got the gearbox back and it now feels absolutely brilliant after the drive to work today

Apparently one of the bearings (not sure which) had cracked inside (maybe why there was play left and right when in gear) as that now feels great.

3rd and 4th syncrorings were destroyed as were the the fork selectors in those gears. The selector seal was also replaced.

Feels so much better and i'm not sure if it's a placebo but the car seems to feel way more eager to go, not really sure how thats related?!

 

[Akay]

How much did it set you back for the stripdown and fix up mate?

Im looking to fit a Scenic lever as well, did you have to remove the gearknob to fit the yanoo?

Cars looking good as always!

It came to £215 overall mate. It was going to be £120 to replace the seal but obviously the other parts and work bumped the price up.

Sadly yes you do to fit it through but the original gear knob isn't that nice anyway size wise I dont think

Thanks for the comment buddy.

As above mate

 

[debussetti]

When are your buckets coming? - EDIT: Just seen 17th of July

You can buy my false floors off me if you like? They won't fit when the cage is in.
