no no no, best place for load-bearing items such as this is current load bearing points, that is, mounting points. Subframe rear chassis mounts are the best, and the \_/ shape of the stands fits in them so well. Here's 2p, spend it wisely. Piccy: winpoints.JPG[/attachment:3pphnj77]

blimey, so you've put the polishing cloth down and are planning to drive it?! *faints*

Welcome back... who are you? :scratch:

Are you ever NOT available for that? I'm kinda retaining my address in case you get bored on a tuesday or something... :shock:

:eek: completely forgot about this. I shan't start refurbing the ARB from a 92 to fit onto my 90 then... :ignore:

IIRC, all it does is draw hot air from the exhaust manifold back into the intake to help cold starting of the car. Do what you want with it.

Never had a car ran out when it was halfway in the red section of the gauge! Means the tank must have approx 2 litres of crap in it, which I guess it to be expected from a car getting on for 200,000 miles and what is most likely to be the original petrol tank and collector etc.

Dudle, Fun times in cars eh? Won't be coming over anytime soon as I have exams coming up and just spent 4 days you-know-where, so need to knuckle down! Pics of the weekend up when I fix my phone.

Ran out of petrol. I r 1337, j00 r n00b. ktb.

Tokicos are asian are they not? No idea if they're any good, sorry! :shrug:

You're forgetting about the student constituency, Corsameal! :lol: :lol: :lol: I'll even read YOUR posts if it postpones work! :salute: :wink:

You sicko VR6. you said i was the only one! :cry:

lolololol.com You mods are nutbars :nuts:

Ooops :sad: Worked out that the bottom half of the red on the petrol gauge is just gunk in the tank, as that is the point at which the car died! Must remember that in future.Managed to get to ASDA, buy a 5L bottle of water, empty it out in the car park, walk to the petrol station next door and fill the whole thing up before wandering back to the car about 200yds away.No-one batted an eyelid, despite there being attendants wandering around the forecourt! Made me think that I really should overhaul the fuel delivery system on Ron and check the tank: most of it must be original and done circa 185,000! p.s. I am a numpty, but do not flame, I am precious :camp:

If you mean "what is the dumbest someone can look whilst in the open so people can take photos and generally mock", then yes this is the ultimate.

compression test is a piece o pee, DIY!

If Darren had rebuilt it, I might think about it? I thought you hated Laders now anyways, and wanted an M90?!

Faye, has the berry been dropped yet, or will the dyno man need a ladder? :wink:

I would have thought that paint technology in the past 20 years would have improved though, resulting in a bog-standard 2-pack back then being inferior to whatever they use now? IIRC, 2-pack has now changed a fair bit and is water-based or something. Unless the treatments put onto the original paintwork are somehow transitioning the molecular structure of the paint itself, or treating it to be a tighter knit polymer, I can't see how an off-the-shelf product can improve the paint so much, unless the original paintwork has developed the orange-peeling, and (for example) Goldie's is just showing through the original quality? :confused4: fair play, if it does work though! :cheers:

lol, a 95 car isn't old though! And isn't orange peel when the spray gun is too heavily loaded on one of the nozzles and the paint kinda piles up and curls away from the bodywork when it attaches? :shrug:

yeah flanges are easy to change, making sure you don't tear an old hose or crack the super fragile metal water pipes is where the skill comes in!

Me John? Not really, that'd be the most expensive coffin ever! I know my driving limits, plus I have plenty to play with atm ^_^ (those of you who know are sworn to secrecy... :nono: )

PMSL! i was gonna say that!

yes.

lol @ this thread, you're all nutters :lol: imo, the standard paint does come up nice, but you can really tell the 2-pack paint doesn't really cut it, resolution wise: even the crispest reflections are mottled a bit. Then when you look at a car with a newly sprayed paintjob (C6 VRG, Stoney, etc etc... oh, both Burgundy :lol: ) you can pick out MUCH more of the fine detail when looking into the paintjob. That Ed1 Mk2 G60 is another case in point. (burgundy WINNAGE) I guess what I'm saying is that there's no point doing a crazy amount of detailing, buying Megs / Dodo Juice / Coco Pops to rub into your paintwork if it's really not going to be able to enhance it in the way a new respray would. 2p (or not 2p? that is the question)
