i used pro tyre last time just waltsed in. but they charge 30 per adjustment. did you find your book?

hollow point where did the engine come from? was it a supply and fit job from ebay? if so was the supplier based in the derby area

ah thats a fairly good idea. make life easier come mot time if said tester feels a little preoccupied with being picky

on teh subjct of mahgnectic sump plugs, did the amount of metal your accuimilated around it decrease over time?

did you get a light flash up saying hicas on teh left? check the fluid levels, did it making a sort of gurgle noise or just die?

ah tahst not too bad then, who set it up for you?im taking the car off the road this week to deal with that pesky powersteering leak of mine. dependant of how much taht ends up costing to fix and how long it takes i may well drop it this week aswel.

went to relocate my sidelights this evening. into the curb light section of the new crystal indicators, trouble is, i didnt find what i expected to with the fog light. so can i litteraly cut the two wires feedibng the side light off the fog lamp assembly and wire them up to a bulb holder, or does the fog light require more than the one wire going to it? assuming i can do it that way do the indicator bulb holders from the side repeaters fit in the hole, looks like it should? and does anyone have a pair with pigtails, they would like to donate. obvioulsy id pay the postage, i dont even need the actual lamp holder just the connetor block from the loom.

so any advice on the geometry? or am i just gonna have to suck it and see and get it all changed on a 4 wheel aligment jig.

no i was logging from the adddress bar then followed teh link from ebay after that to be double sure it was teh right paypal... still doesnt seem right.even if its genuine i really dont like the idea.

nope url looks fine, i even logged in from ebay to second check it. i cant even remove my card details etc from there site without filling it in.

how funny, me and my girlfreind went for a cruise upround that area over the weekend, you were not far from my neck of the woods. lol gonna be there a few times this week. wasnt me though

i knew you where upto something lol. i think you should put us to rest though and spill the beans how much it cost lol

just logged onto paypal which wont let me access anything apart from one screen which asks me to re enter my account details, card number account number etc etc. and any other option is disabled! anyone else ever seen this screen is it a scam? it damn well looks fishy to me.

i totally agree with you ian. its not until you live with a smoothed off lwb you realise how wrong it looks the rear looks so unbalanced unsporty and unfinished. looks fine on the squat shorty but it just looks wrong on a lwb. which is why i reverted to an 89 spec and it looks a million times better.

look hard buy a decent recently imported jap one with a good club/entusiast background. sounds like youve already talked yourself into one lol. mine was a dick when i first got it the engine overheated and blew. then i got it fixed by some cowboys and it carried on beating a dick. the rac knew me by my first name over those 6 months. anyways it got sorted out cost me a few quid and now it seems to be fine no issues touch wood for over a year. everything is difficult or expensive to fix on this car though. they really are a nightmare to work on at home so bare this in mind. buy a good one and i hope you enjoy it.

no they wont fit there 165x5 you need 114.3/114 x5 this is teh stud pattern ie where the bolts locate, you can buy adapters. also its worth nothing that at 6j ie 6 inches wide they could do with be about half as wide again on the rear. standard rears are 225 across so 150 is a bit er lacking in grip.

ah ok man thought id check. looking forward to the pics

thats really usefull that link however i did realise when looking through the pics... its an na. please tell me i wouldnt hav eto remove the flexiable hose that goes from the intercooler to the turbo front.

where are you crossing murtle. dover? not swinging down this neck of the woods are you?

thought id dig thsi post up and restart it. really need to get this sorted. ive tightened the jubelies that are obvious the two small ones the large one on the underside etc, but still leaking quite badly. its not the line coupler near the rad its further to the left, i can see it dripping down from higher up in the bay. i would assume its either the pump itself or one of the joints to it, how difficult would it be to remove the pump and replace the lines in this area etc. might be the best option in the long run? or is it a pita and well worth doing up the connections in situ first? any advice on the best acces etc, im guessing theres loadsa stuff thats in the way.

this in an area i really nee dto get on with. its just hard to see how to reach the area.

ive had this myself, alot of garages dont want to touch the zed because of its very makeup. ive also had a garage go yeh yeh where experts in those and bugger it up i know which i prefer lol

so where did the repair sections come from then? buy or self made, i only as because i recon im gonna be going down this area myself in teh next year or so. and i expect to find wprse than better because im a cynic. my mate is a porsche restoer and ive done a fair bit of welding myself, so taht doesnt worry me just teh parts

ah cheers for that man, only need to deal with the clearance issues etc now....

i recently did my first bit of proper spraying it really is about 90% prep work. plently of sanding flush the correct primer and teh correct paint keyed up the laqour is the bit that makes the difference at the end and this can be difficult, i rished it at first and the laqoured bloomed had to cut it back and restart, that was because there was a little too much moisture in the air, however the final product was great.
