You can buy brand new shoes from conceptua for reasonable money.

Lol it wouldn't be quite that dramatic Si, yeah oem + is what I want to achieve with my car. Which is a lanky base like your own. :)

I'm guessing expensive, can you imagine the possibilities. A set of 17" fronts and 19" rears with the correct offsets 11" rears dirt loads of dish :)

I only said usually, next time I will use the capitals :p

Squeeling on start up is usually a loose belt mate. There's 3 down there so plenty of oppertunity to slip and squeal. As revs rise and heat gets into it it tends to grab and stop squeezing .

Part of me wants that car so badly, however id end up frankenstining it with my own, as the cloth interior is hideous I couldn't own an na auto by which point it wouldn't be very original or genuine which sort of defeats the object. Its a lot of effort and expense to get it to the same spec as what I have just with a later model shell.....Much easier to just add the facelift bumper and keep old frankenwennie.

interesting stuff si

Just need to run a suitable a line from the plenum to the gauge. I've got one to fit but I just can't find a gauge pod I like.

Either the sensor had failed the or gauge itself. They are notoriously inaccurate anyways and only read to like 10psi

Was starting to worry about you Si, very quiet over the last few days. Has the flood water hit you?

Most likely the 20 year old gearbox oil mate the mt90 will likely make all the difference. You will want a sump plug key to make life easier. If you want to borrow a set I have a set but they're cheap enough from halfraids. Top tip, undo the side one first! If it's seized you've still got oil, if you drain it first you get the idea...

And there in lies the key. These cars are at best 15/16 years old but generally 20+ years old. With 100k miles on the clock. Now even a 3 year old car with those kinda miles feels not 100% so it's a miracle that they feel as good as they do. Once you start pulling your car apart you will quickly discover your the first normally. Sloppy tired bushes leaky dampers rusty saggy springs. When I got mine at first I found it boring it had to pushed so much further to be on the edge and fun compared to my Capri, which was sorted for a Capri it handled very well. Some time passed and I switched the wheels and the the saggy old shocks and then had an alignment done. Holy hell that transformed the car! I'm now working my way through every bush and component to get it refreshed and I expect the result to be quite profound again. Taking the handling of these old cars for what the one you have is, is a bad measure some are honestly shot under there and will handle like it. The best people to ask or watch in terms of how well can they should they handle is Jaffa and bob. Neither of those cars are stupidly modded suspension wise just refreshed and uprated, no cutting the floor off and welding in this bar or that support. If you think it handles poorly I urge you to inspect it before you end up up a tree via they shouldn't feel loose wobbly or unpredictable at all. Aside from that bloody hicas system trying to catch you out.

Added you both. Thankyou for updating and watch this space.

I've bee planning on doing that for ages just can't be bothered lol

Those braided lines look normal to my memory. The threaded end goes in the top of the turbo and the eyed end onto the block. Take your time, take pictures and ask questions etc. when I comes to turn the key, as said do it with the fuel relay out, which should still be out from removal, and crank it over till you can see oil coming into the cams via the oil filler cap. Then give it some more lol.

The worrying thing is not that celebs are loosing massive chunks if money but anyone could be falsely accused, it happens very regularly sadly. Esp false accusations against men of rape. Now without being rich to start with, on your private house or secret location to run to what happens. The locals get their pitch forks out.... Scary shit. It's a crazy world out there I know several girls that have told silly lies about people locally then had to confess its rubbish.

He's one of those learned fellas bri, able to squeeze out the sentence you or are were trying to come out with.

What I take umberage to is the fact my girlfriend for example can pay her £30 a year road tax and do 100,000 miles or whatever in theory, and still only pay £30. The zed does say 3-4k miles a year but costs another £200 a year more to tax...:s I'm gonna do less polluting in 3k than she does in a year, it's apparently about pollution so... However it isn't is it, it's a money making riff off scheme.

Buy yourself either the ghl auto doser or a kamoer, do not buy a marine magic it's pants. If you need help with the setup let me know.

I have a fish problem.

Kuhmos are going up in my estimations ATM. However those are a road tyre where as the t1r are sorta road use and light track duty, sorta a hybrid between road legals and road tyres

Toyo T1R don't seem readily available :(

I'm in Newport s.wales....not good
