wheels....
Just bought badges see how they look when they come. Bought black carbon background with gold writing saying bbs. There only a sticker but may stop wheel looking little plain in the centre. Won't be fitting till it's car is all painted and back together but I post pics when fitted and soon has they come I'll post up what the quality looks like. That's what Im worried about why they cheap. But then most wheels seem like there a package they have no tyres and for a half decent set most likely gonna be 5 to 6 hundred. So if bought has a package would be near a grand would have thought, with the roads round here problem look like 50pences in a wk.

Thanks car mad....
Mad man, didn't need them that desperate, u should have just went to bed. Has said before thanks very much and there great. Think I prefer without door fillers what do u reckon, advise. Did u get email with couple of pics of back bumpers,
-
Thanks car mad....
There type s, and car Mad is your man. Wanted smooth, and needed something to go with the 99spec cause that has a lower looking front and makes rest of the car look high. Not really one for body kits but all modern cars seem to have skirts covering the seals, and now I can dinitrol stone chip all the seals then paint white and hide the bumpy look with the skirts. Cheers for the replys, and think I will leave door fillers off.

Thanks car mad....
They should look good when it's all painted, got a 99spec bumper too. Got door fillers and don't know whether to use them, quite like them without now lol. Smells of cabbage lol, more likely of fibreglass and allways bloody scratching....

Thanks car mad....
Hi guys, Just putting this up to say thanks to car mad, He even went back to work in the evening to get sideskirts out to me cause I was in a bit of a rush to get them. Just chucked them on tonight no screws or anything looks like they fit really well and don't seem like they will need much or if any prep at all. Couple pics... Cheers car mad. And I will put some pics up when it's all shiney and painted.

how much hassle is it to remove rear hubs??
Hi if it's the outter hicas joints, u want to remove leave everything on the car, There's a thread on here somewhere how to do it. I cut the front part where the hicas rack bolts too off with a grinder allowing u to knock them out the otherway and get a good hit without anything in your way. Just cut the front off heat with a torch, and get a big chisel and bang away to the bigger comes out. To put new one in used an old socket and hit it back in. Was fairly easy to do. Goodluck and hope u sort it.

Rear tail light sensor
Don't know if u have checked already. My full beam stayed on when a fuse in the engine bay popped, at 1st didn't look like it but it was. It was in the little straight fuse box up at the master cylinder area. Hope u solve it..

LPG conversion
U can check o2 sensors with the screw on the ecu, do the fault check then turn screw the either way and hold revs to 2000rpm engine has to be up to temp and light should flash on/off on/off showing it change rich/lean, Then if u turn screw the other way do the same thing has above it will do the other 02. I have not done it the manual way for a while, so may be things I missed or done slightly different sure someone will come along if I have said it the wrong way and tell u how to do it properly lol. Goodluck with solving problem.

Tension rod bushed??
Hi when mine went I noticed by jacking car up, hold front wheel at 9o'clock and 3o'clock position and try moving the wheel back or forwards if moves there fooked lol. or look at the bush for bad cracks or white horrible stuff dripping. have no pics of bush, but it is a bar with 2 bolts bolting it to a lower arm, with a big round bush the other end with a bolt going right through it. Goodluck and hope u get it sorted.

from this to that....
ouch , sounds bad. I'm hoping it's ok now. cause they were all over paint and window. I wiped them off the body with thinners on a cloth scrubbing hard and seemed to come off. all the rust spots in the pics is from the grinding where I ain't wiped properly the whole car looked like that lol white zed with orange spots.
-
from this to that....
window screen was covered in them. I did wipe it off and seems ok. I hope so cause its a new screen. don't do bodywork and set on my car with grinder and welder, not good lol.

I made car look worse where I have been grinding all the little bit of metal have stuck all over the car and gone rusty too. looks like spots of rust all over it. thanks for reply.

master cylinder on brakes leaked and took all the paint off, the clutch cylinder is leaking too. and my dodgy patch I welded in, is why one side of engine bay is black put some black paint on it to stop it rusting to I can finish grinding wields and make it flat.. goes in on the 15 for full paint post some after pics when it's all shiny and new looking. thanks for looking.

Has anybody changed uk seatbelts to import
hi, was looking on my car the other day, has I brought a jap breaker and mine is UK style seat belts. the door pads and interior cards are very clean in the jap car. seems the holes are there to bolt the belts in the UK doors but the thread ain't, but could get the nuts that fit from most supplies shops and either tack them on the back with a mig before fitting doors. I have had to do the same cause my car was jap and fitted UK belts into normal place. again holes were there but no nuts on the back so tacked the nuts on. would be easier to put nuts in then re do the interior panels.
