Project: Chav

So have we! And a set of megane dynamique wheels hammerited black and 2 15" steels. So it'll end up on something or t'other.
Dave thought I was being a wuss for not going over 65mph the whole way home from Dundee (70 odd miles for those that dont know). He hadnt seen the tyre like I had seen! I was just waiting for the blowout!

Tbh i did wonder why you were gripping the steering wheel like you were bracing for impact.
Mate good save...
Those wheels are tame compared to my old ones haha

Wooft, comparable certainly. Yeah, hence the lack of fb status update of being bored outta my tits but also terrifed at the same time
Update.
Me and john popped up to do some work on the chav today in the sunshine. Only spent about 1.5/2 hours on it, but managed quite alot. John cut of the shocking side strips and kindly donated some original ones which tidies up the sides of the car no end. Also swapped over the rear chromes for my other 2 turbines.
Also chav has been resparyed at some point in the past, not sure if this pic show it up but not removing trim prior to paint ftl!!
We both worked in the inside stripping out as much trim as poss in the time we had. Did quite well bar a rounded torx on the seat back which i'll get out later.
On the run up to the its alotted parking spot the managment light popped back on, O2 sensor again. A further inspection found the loom being held together by a connector block, with rust on all the wires. We stripped the wiring back and joined the wires properly (a more solid repair to follow). Managment light has stayed off and it runs better but it's still not fast, seems very flat up to 3.5/4k.
Still happy with the progress today.
Hours spent: 3.5
Money spent: £0 (found 7p in the car so really -£0.07) (found a further 50p. £-0.57p)
Weight lost: Most interior parts, weight TBC.

i'm not sure if chav will be keeping them, they were set to go on my mk2 golf. Hmmm.
I'd imagine quite a few going by the quality of the work we've found so far.
The workmanship has made us look very professional!
And Stu, make ita £1 each and you can have it

Update:
John and i set to work on removing the rest of the interior trim, got a fair bit done, still loads to go but getting there.
As some in the 'scene' might say "Rolling like a boss", a friendless boss mind you.
Sitting a bit higher now though.
Got a friend coming round later in the week to double check the timing for us, try suss out the poor performance.
Hours spent: 4.5
Money spent: £0 yet
Weight lost: lots

Yeah man. Think me, john, awesome and maybe Gaz85 (depending on what state he gets in on the sat) are heading up. I'll take the chav for the lolz!
its because you are a wheel ***** and well they are awesome wheels you just need to get them back in the next few months so they can start the rounds again :rasp:
Pitty the chav wasnt there on sunday! would have been good to see her in the flesh!!!
Na its because they are ***** wheels

Good read through this!! Love how your currently £1.57 up and project Chav is slowly being put right!! If I am correct the steering wheel is a "mountney" creation I believe.... Recognised from my 90's maxpower days
Chav ^^^^
Yeah its coming along. No real progress yet though.
Clio 1.6 16V
:evil: is more coming ???
Chav ^^^^

Haha I was a reader rather than a wide arched corsa driver*, before the days of having my own car!!
*Don't think that makes me any better!

Yeah was a shame she couldn't make it, next one though.
Yes more is coming. The key is lightness i think, so going to focus on that.
I read fast car and max power in my Yoof so can really say much tbh. lol

Nothing yet russ, after selling my Bm i've been working on my Mk2 to get it ready for the road. So chavs been left for the time being.
Update:
Since my mk2 golf passed its test on friday, i've managed to spend a wee bit time on the chav. Nothing of great intrest TBH.
Removed the rear wiper and bunged it up.
Front fogs removed. (Wring etc still to be removed)

Alternator belt changed as well. Performance regained, which i'm very happy about, still to be properly tested though.
Hours spent: 7.5
Money spent: £223 (£143 parts £80 for a mate to change the belt)
Weight lost: Most interior parts, weight TBC.
