    Tps

    Is it bad that my local TPS and me are now on first name basis? An example of a normal phone call: TPS "TPS peterborough Andy speaking" Me "Andy its Jon, Somethings broken" TPS "Right cash or account?" Me "cash" TPS "just let me get confortable" Me "right i need..........." ETC
  2. What did happen to it in the end then?
  3. I have the manifold and throttlebody! Has only done 27k miles, in very good condition. Currently on ebay for £20 no reserve!
  4. The north bank near peterborough, i saw a red 16v. You had the OS headlamp bulb gone mate!
  5. Roadster625 Good price and a top bloke, cheers mate!
  6. I will be free to help after i have finished mine mate if thats anygood?
  7. Jimpy66 top bloke, and a smooth transaction! Thanks mate
  8. Pics of engines and bay as promised, Jobs to do today include cleaning that bay up (YUK), wrapping my 6 branch, getting the looms sorted. I need some flywheel bolts as i forgot to order new ones and i also need a starter motor, but apart from that its getting there!
  9. Man up sam! I had an engine swinging on a crane earlier, that was fun!
  10. Have now got engine out and have began the process of making one hell of a good engine out of 2 good ones! I will put pics up tommorow when it is light. I got abit caught up and forgot the time!
  11. Its not great but its getting close to how i want it.
  12. Engine is now ready to come out! After we managed to strip all parts off it is now just sitting there on its mounts. The lower splash panel at the front will need rustproofing and i may need a new pas cooling pipe as it looks a bit corroded, but its progress! Oh ans i had abit of cash left so i went and bought a raceland manifold and some heatwrap. It is easier putting this on with the engine out. Yep that was my excuse for buying it!
  13. Come on chris get that clutch done! We need to get our cars done by the start of the show season! You have anymore plans to do some santapod runs? I was going to do some in mine last year but couldnt.
  14. Thats good news on the spoiler mate, but not so great on the misfire. I ran mine with a missfire and running on less that 6 at times, with the coolant temp reaching 120 degrees at times due to a fooked headgasket. So a 10 mile round trip should be ok i guess! But i knew that i was going to need a new engine so wasnt bothered!
  15. My target is late feb/ early march. In time for the run down to ultimate dubs on march 13th anyway!
  16. Got my coilovers on just to see what it would look like before i start stripping everything. I think it looks rather good! a vast improvement over standard anyway. I will probably raise the front a bit and then lower the back some more but you get the idea anyway :worthless: so here they are!

    my 16v

    Loving the wheels! What are they?
  18. Its getting there sam, slowly! the new engine i have does look mint though, so i have high hopes for it! suspension was from a guy on here who wanted OEM suspension so we swapped! All being well it should be ready come the start of the show season. Im aiming to get it ready for ultimate dubs in march, so if it is do you fancy going in convoy?
  19. Oh right thanks. They do look and feel good quality. I managed to get the rears on yesterday, it looks like a sports car and not an suv now! Im still greasing up the fronts and getting it to the exact height i want.
  20. Got my H&R coilies on friday and have gone about greasing them up and adjusting them to my prefered ride height. When i was cleaning them i saw a bilstein logo on the shock, does anyone know what line of coilovers these would have come from at bilstein or are they made to order for H&R? I was also shocked (sorry) at the size of the piston on the shock absorber, i have never seen coilovers this wide before!
  21. Ooh sorry to hear that jim, but they are only niggles that can be fixed! Do you like the suspension better by the way?
  22. Does look good mate, classic green storm is the best corrado. In my opinion :grin:
