[Feb 20, 2016] JP's House (Project Nick Frost & Stuff)

[Tony Hunter]

It will have to be before that weekend, as it's our Dinner Dance Presentation eve on the 20th Feb

I'll keep you posted.

[Budgie]

Alright treacle.

TBH, i have no idea what i'm doing this weekend, let alone in Feb. Consider me 50/50 - if i'm about i'll make the trip!

Oh, also have an engine crane you can use if needed... xx

 

[Pink-182]

I'll be there to eat cookies and drink beer

 

[JP83]

So gents. The list of parts I will have by the day is as follows:

Front and rear brakes (and brake fluid)
Shocks, springs, top mounts
Powerflex bushes (front arb, front wishbone)
Ball joints
Track Rods and Track rod ends
Cambelt and service kit (have cup alternator setup to install)
Valeo Clutch
Battery, cage, adapter for bulkhead (and cabling to relocate)
Tow strap
Exhaust


Parts I've not got yet, but should I?
Rear beam bushes (standard)
Handbrake cables
CV boots

Is there anything else you guys can think of that might be worth doing, whilst we'e attacking these areas?

 

[Budgie]

To get all of that done in a day is a big ask, even for the right team TBH.

I'd concentrate on engine bay. Rear beam bushes etc can wait IMO.

Engine out is going to be the quickest way probably, unless you drop the subframe and do the belt once the box is out, with the engine over a bit.

That's fine dude. I'm just glad of the help. Suspension and brakes I can crack on with anyone myself.

I'll try and get some bits between now and then anyway. The motor is the area I'll definitely need help with!

 

[Inequality Street]

I could do all that with my eyes closed.

Who's heading up from my way? @Scrooge @TheEvilGiraffe @Cookie ?

More than likely !

It's in the diary but my input will be purely administrative.

Sorry JP, something's come up - you'll have to find someone else to make the tea.

 

[JP83]

Ah shame dude. No worries. hopefully catch up soon. :up:

 

[Scrooge]

@RyG @TheEvilGiraffe ill pick you two up?

@JP83 i think @Budgie is right, engine out and do as much as we can

 

[Budgie]

All you need to do is see the bits come off, so that once we stop play, you're good to put the rest back together..

 

[Rob]

@RyG @TheEvilGiraffe ill pick you two up?

A few spare hands can do the rear brakes or something too?

 

[Scrooge]

Rear brakes will take minutes with a person either side

 

[JP83]

I'm easy boys. We'll play it by beer.

 

[Typhoon]

I'll do the cambelt :smilingimp:

That'd be wicked mate, will chuck you some fuel money

 

[Scrooge]

No need I'll be coming in the grandad mobile

I'll do the cambelt :smilingimp:

You'll be fine, I'll bring the tipex

 

[Inequality Street]

@rctempire probably cheaper for your flights than our fuel

 

[Inequality Street]

@Scrooge - You going out drinking and stopping over the night or heading back in the evening?

 

[Inequality Street]

@DaveDreads - You fancy it?

 

[Gus]

I can do the rear beam bushes along with @Ceaglestone and @Steven103 if you want them doing, might be a good opportunity to stick some cambered stub axle spacers on if you fancy that too.
Also got a renault clip I can bring to delete any airbag lights.

 

[JP83]

Just wondering if it's worth doing anything like coolant temp sensor, thermostat, etc, whilst the motor is out. I gather they're both pretty easy to change though should I need to at a later date.
Don't want to spend for the sake of.

 

[Budgie]

Thermostat, might as well. Sensor, nope, if it works, leave it.

Get some coolant too obvs.

Okey doke, will add it to the list. I've got coolant in the garage ready.

 

[Marc.]

If I'm there (still trying to get the weekend off work!) then I can do the rear brakes / discs before I do the tea refuels

 

[Marc.]

I've gotten the weekend off sorted. My birthday is on the Thursday so providing I can get dinner with the Mrs out of the way that evening, I can't see any reason why I can't come!

I'm good for the Saturday, I'll be out of there by about 3.30/4pm though as its my brother-in-law's 30th that night, and my sister is having a surprise "do."

 

[TRH_Racing]

[Christopher.]

The car front isnt looking good but if one of the other reprobates from down here goes il tag along mate.

 

[Rob]

Have to check with other benders, and it appears to be to cold for 2 wheels, other than that, I'm game.
