  1. I like the look of the kev i rekon i could quite easily fab up something like that , maybe put fixing points on the turrets , and to the back of the boot floor , would it help stiffen it up if , off that wats described above i made two more feet to reach out diagonally from the top of the turrets to the boot floor with fixking points near the rear lights kind of like a half cage ! For the boot , would a reasonably sturdy ally be ok to use or would i need stainless
  2. Is the thinner of them two ally or stainless , iv been thinking of making one up, iv got a tig welder bud not sure if ally is strong enough , and iv got a normal welder for mild steel but im sure it would weigh a ton out if mild
  3. Welcome mate get some pics up , if tou need to know anything about your car give me a shout although everything i did to it was logged in the back of the manual if the previouse owners managed to keep it together
  4. 15 quid posted and ill take it mate
  5. Cheers bud , if its broken and it cant be easily fixed dont worry about it ill find another a bit closer to home , really glad someone with a bit of intelligence has got the car instead of some halfwit who's going to spoil her, sound like your plans are solid , get a build thread up mate id like to follow its progress
  6. Glad your doing a build thread for it mate id hate to of seen it go down the ****ter , i was actually one of the watchers on the car but decided not to bud in the end , the system cost me 400 quid lol , if you decide to put a poly carb sunroof in ill take the sunroof off you if its still all working bud Good look with the build i hope you succeed with it
  7. I knew it would be , are you doing a build thread ? I spent alot of money on that car i can tell you that lol , oh its been remapped aswell , pretty rare for a valver
  8. Ohh and if it is the build thread is in my sig for anyone who wanted pics of the interior
  9. Did the interior come out of a bordoux pearl 2ltr 16v , reg L8## NNH ? If it did thats my old car
  10. You have to keep it above 4k , if you do i find it always wants to go , iv given quite a few thngs a go but tbh id rather have a go in the twisties , see how well people can really drive instead of fannying about on straights , still one of those new big ford people carriers put his foot down past me the other week and man fid that thing shift , it was only the driver though , no family You cant dis a saxo though i used to run a vts and that thing was immense fun , 65 / 70 in second gear and on the b roads it was a little go kart , in all fairness it was skittish but made it all the more fun , it used to cock a leg aswell , fun cars they are id have another

    Recaros

    I was actually going to have a punt on these as im passing cheshire on the way home in the big van , then i realised my rent hasnt come out yet !! Damn you grown up stuff
  12. Good work mate, had it really not been moved for ten years ? How did you manage to not want to go for a blast in ten years i cant go a couple of days Hope the brakes went better than mine did and you didnt have any problems

    Goodbye

    Quitter ! Haha good look with the evo mate its a nice car , enjoy
  16. Nice cold crappy weather , thats what you want chris ! Its when your weather mist kit works best with that low down filter Id be up for this though , didnt hoffmeister mentioned this at the moors meet a while back ? Im sure he wants to know what his car is putting out now aswell with the charger
  17. Nonsense ! As far as im aware you can use fk , hr or rh , i think the ones you are talking about have a steel insert so are a bit stronger , iv been running fk adaptors on the front of mine for two years bow and not had any problems
  18. 350 ! That is a cheap radio !! Seriously though pal if you want noise dont drill the air box , take the airbox out and remove the snorkel from the front of it it just taps out , that will give you the throaty noise your after , again kr cams are a good improvements on standards , im sure you can advance the timing aswell and an exhaust would help and i dont know if dg auto tech still remap them but they used to uou would have to look though. I dont think there are many 9a's producing amazing power without turbos or extensive work but them few at the top will get you started
  19. Yep great price , i run these and im pleased with them ,taylor is right aswell , kw , weitec and i think if i remember correctly ap? Are made in the same factory , there all made to suit each price gap in the market ir so i was told by venom , either way there a set
  20. Well today was a disaster , and a complete waste of time thanks to goodridge hoses , i took the old brakes of this morning and left them hanging wile me and my dad spent some time re tapping the disk retaining screws that some idiot had snapped in the hub ! Then we removed all the dust guards as they was totally rotten and was slightly scraping the back of the disks , the three bolts that hold them of was a pain to remove wich took its time then we fitted the new caliper carriers and lock tighted the threads and then put the caliper on , made sure everything was tight and then started on the braided hoses , goodridge have sent me the wrong banjo bolts wich are to bug to thread in to the calipers and they have only sent three banjo bolts aswell so iv spent the afternoon running round hull like a dick trying to source some , git back and had to swap it all back over for the old **** and tidy away , ****ed off is not the word , im more mad at goodridge as i even rang them to tell them exactle what i had to fit , and they sent me a kit for a 312mm brake upgrade and standard rears! The only thing that i can think of that would make goodridge in the clear is if the kid who sold me the brakes lied and there actually 288 calipers ! But he seemed to know his stuff and everything fits and matches up with the 312mm disks Disaster !! And a waste of my time wich i dont have a lot of !
  21. Its just clicked , me been a dumb arse with a stupid question
  22. Thanks mic thats a great help i would have been searching for those , now im being a novice here but when i bleed those bits where does the fluid exit ? Sounds thick and probably is but i cant work it out , do i undo a caliper nipple again and it will find its way through the system ??
  23. I suppose if your doing the job its best to do it all anyway ! To me its like doing an oil change but only taking out half the old oil ! Ill let tou know how it all goes , as far as things coming undone im really hoping that they come loose like the rest of the car iv had in bits did , mosts have been tight but not seized or anything On the compensator on the rear beam whats the best way to keep it compressed or will that be obviouse when i get to it ?
  24. Very posh , them mercz are mad , we pas the mercedes garage in leeds quite often and there was one in there for 127,000 pounds , insanely priced
