Finally got my hands on a set of Turini's without having to pay through the nose. Found them on ebay and were just down the road from me, badly in need of a refurb though.

Cheers.

Got my Turini's back today after a refurb, very happy with them. Just need some tyres now.

 

[subarufreak]

going the right way!

 

[jenic]

Turinis look good, coming on well

[Fletcher]

Of course, £64.

 

[Scott™]

Turinis look in great condition now mate. Welldone.

 

[Edd]

She ticked on to 52k over the weekend and I had my Turini's fitted with some Yoko S-drives. Very impressed with the tyres and excellent value for money at £196 delivered for 4 (brand new).

Next on my list is to get an exhaust, I'm probably going to go for standard as I have a near new centre section in the garage.

 

[Šįk]

Amazing! Can wait to recieve my turinis for my LY now!

You've really captured that colour well there mate!

 

[Šįk]

..double post FTL..

 

[ABOO]

Where were Yoko's from Edd??

 

[subarufreak]

nice with the turinis on

 

[Edd]

Where were Yoko's from Edd??

A supplier in Cheshire who advertises on ebay.

 

[Edd]

Just passed 55k and finally got around to fitting a new standard exhaust, it seems to drive so much better with it on.

The sh*t that came off.

Much better.

My arches were lined with about 10mm of filth so after fitting the exhaust I took all the wheels off, clean them and the arches.

Next on the list is suspension and front brakes. At the minute I'm thinking Koni dampers and Eibach Sportlines.

Cheers, it's getting there but taking much longer than I originally thought.

Prefered the black F1's rather than the Turini's. Still like it though.

Is CAS, Cas coatings in Bradford? £64 seems a right deal.

That's them, can't be beaten on value.

The F1's did look good but a cup should really have silver Turini's (IMO).

 

[leeds2592]

Nice one. Is that where you had your red F1's done n'all?

Insurance is due for renewal on mine so I might actually be able to start making a few mods. Desperately want some F1's.

Yeh I've had 5 sets done there, always been impressed with the finish.

 

[AdamSmith]

Lovely mate, pretty much the mirror of mine. I'm not far from you either (elland)

 

[Edd]

Fitted my Sportlines and new top mounts during the week, i went for the cheapskate option and bought SKF top mounts and bearings from Eurocarparts. They were £45 delivered for a pair and touch wood they seemed to cure the knocking noise on full lock.

It took me about 2 hours to fit them.

Then I thought I'd try some Autoglym.

How she stands now.

 

[marcushookdale]

looks great m8, fitted my sportlines yesterday to my bg182 ff, feels really good too,

 

[Edd]

Serviced her again on 59k, plugs, filters and oil.

Soon after went down a huge pot-hole one night coming home from work that resulted in this....

Front Passenger Side

Rear Passenger Side

Found another set of Turini's on eBay and had 2 of them refurbed and powdercoated in the same silver as the others.

At the start of June I had a week on the south coast in Sussex, some really good roads down there, did 1500 miles in total.

She's now on 61500 miles.

 

[Stolton]

cracking looking car fella, great example and looks really clean. nice work

 

[leeds_182]

That must have been a serious pot hole!

 

[Edd]

That must have been a serious pot hole!

It was pretty deep, went back the next day to take a pic but it had been filled in.

 

[Edd]

Changed my aux belt at the weekend, turned out that when the cambelt was changed 2 and a half years ago the old aux belt was slipped back on....

15 minute job on a Cup, very easy.

 

[Feirny]

Loving this mate.

 

[Clgale88]

that wheel can be repaired we repair worse wheels than that at work

 

[Gally]

Love the Oe fresh look mate. Stunning.

I think I've got 4 buckled Turini's in the garage now, if that is the case I might try and sell them.

She's just about on 63k now, took this pic on a recent blast out.

 

[LowLife.]

Edd,

this is probably the nicest example on the forum.

I. Love. It.

[Edd]

Bought some Brembo brakes off G172, top bloke.

Finally got them fitted and they are a massive improvement over the sh1te that I took off. One of the calipers has siezed up slightly, so I freed that up. I'd never noticed any pulling under braking though.

 

[Tombola]

Mate loving what you've done to you Cup! Im planning on a set of the same springs for mine, how do you find them? Easy to fit?

Cheers.

The springs are straight forward if you know what you are doing, my mechanical knowledge is fairly basic and it took about 2 and a half hours to swap the springs over.
