    Cheers for the comments guys (and the link ;))

     

    Its a relatively low milage (around 88k), but there is a little bodywork damage that would need to be sorted to make it A1 (a car door ding on the rear drivers quarter and a series of scratches on the bonnet)

     

    Any thoughts on what sort of $$$ I should be asking for.

    Hey Bally,

     

    I know - been well busy with trying to get a new house, work and the new car. It looks like it's time to flog the C - I've loved every minute, but the opportunity to get a Chimaera came up so I went for it. The pics of yours are looking pretty phat - haven't seen it round MK for a while though. What have u been doing to it?

     

    So, what do you reckon - sell it modified, or put it back to standard. (Speedlines wont fit behind the big brakes unfortunately!)

    Hi,

     

    Do you reckon it is worth putting a car back to standard to sell it? I'm only talking about relatively minor things; Coilovers, big brakes, wheels etc, but do you think the sale would be easier / quicker. Just looking on ebay and autotrader and there don't seem to be too many about - are they generally selling?

     

    Sorry for the vague questions, but I bought a TVR about a month ago and one of them has gotta go :(

     

     

     

    Cheers,

    Hello!

     

    I know this has been discussed a fair few times - I've gone through most of the threads, but someone recently suggested connecting the two vacuum pipes to each other!?!

     

    Any ideas if this would work?

     

    Cheers,

    Taking the seats out is easy.

     

    Tools needed;

     

    17mm spanner (and 17mm ratchet spanner if you have one)

    10mm socket

    8mm socket

    6mm allen key

    good philips screwdriver

     

    Fronts have 8mm nut with a 6mm allenhead bolt at the front. Undo this and remove then slide back all the way and they are good to go.

     

    Rears have a clip at the front that is located into a hole, so push down on the front in the middle of the seat base (bases are seperate), then push back a little bit and it should spring out. Flip the centre arm rest to get access to the four philips screws that hold it down.

     

    Now you should see the bracket for the rear backrests. 4 10mm nuts, undo them, pull the plastic pin up as if you were flipping it forward and there you have it, so yeah pretty basic.

     

    With regards to the heated looms I haven't done that before but have heard that is pretty simple too, as it is only 2 wires and a relay.

    Mate, that's great help thanks!

     

    Looks like i'll be getting a new interior then ;-)

    Hi,

     

    I've been offered a Recaro interior (not leather :-() for sensible money if I swap mine. Is it a major job to swap interiors - I've removed the door cards before when looking for a annoying rattle, but never removed a seat / rear bench. Are they simple 'undo 4 bolt jobs' or something more major.... I guess the major concern is wiring in the electric (not heated seats), is this a major job? Anyone done it who can give me a few pointers?

     

    Cheers

    7.5" - the tyres are 205/40/17

     

    Just fitted an induction kit too (I know - they get too hot etc etc) but I'm very happy with the sound and once I've knocked up a metal heatshield etc the performance should be back ;-)

    I'm running Weitec coilys and 16s on mine - had them for about 5 months now. Overall they are great. Bodyroll is minimal and over most roads it is smooth. It can crash around a little on really rough road but overall a big thumbs up.

     

    Picking up some 17s on Sunday, so will let you guys know what happens then!

    After several long weekend's work I have not finally got my 312s on!!!

     

    First impressions;

    Well they are big, really big - in fact they only just fit behind the 16s, but in my opinion look awesome.

    In terms of stopping power, I have no idea yet - the brakes are still nowhere near being bedded in, which kinda leads to...

     

    I have bled the brakes with a friends help, using one of the halfords clear plastic tube jobbies and there doesn't seem to be any air left in there, but I've heard that some garages can do a pressure bleed - what's the difference, how much does it cost, and is there substantial benefit??

     

    I appreciate I can ask a garage, but call me pesimistic, but they will only say what gets them the most $$$...

    Just picked up my daily driver today and am well chuffed. It means I can take my time over fitting the 312s (eventually they'll be on) and it also makes the Rado feel more 'special'... especially when the daily driver is a Mondeo!! :lol:

     

    Adrian Flux will mirror your no claims to a second car.

     

    and Supercharged it's a Corrado!!

    Bolt now horrendously rounded... and vice grips worked like a charm :(

     

    mk2_20vt - yup I'm talking about the part your thinking about.

     

    does anyone with a VR know from the ABS unit which goes to the passengers front??

     

    Unfortunately it looks like it's a replacing the pipe job.

    VR6 220,

     

    Yes people, the boffins that are, have said they wanted a trackday, where they don't have to pay mega money for a full days action. So whats happened is that Paul (Seveneigths) has rung one of his delegates at Oulton Park and we have at least 18 places with the passionford name on them

     

     

    The details are as follows

     

    Oulton Park Track Day - £110 per car for the FULL DAY on Saturday 10th December 2005

     

    Ring the following number quoting the date above and Passionford

     

    0871 2000 221

     

    Or book thru the following website

     

    are you going ? i'd like to see you take on the world ;-)

     

    my bro has an escort cossie so i might take a ride

    Damn, I would LOVE to come to that track day, but I've jsut checked and it will be a 260 mile round trip from Milton Keynes (not doubting the C will make that obviously) but after 130 miles trip there, then hammering round the track for a day, then 130 miles back.... I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this.

     

    Q for anyone who does track days, how does the C usually stand up to the abuse, I mean the only change on mine will (hopefully by then) be 312 brakes??
