2.pioneer cd-btb200

 

looked on ebay and there is a no1 goin for£410 and no2 will work on my radio :clap:

At least that makes up for it!

modded an exhaust cam to be used as inlet, not sure about the new timing mark I have done anyway :cuckoo:

 

any help on this?

 

Sorry - can't see the upside of this - could you explain? [could it be you're using a partially worn part of the cam?]

 

BTW I have apair of 98k std cams if you're interested!

Took Corryn in for her MOT - the ol' girl passed with flying colours! :clap:

[despite an advisory last year re rear beam needing some Waxoyl so spare beam renovation can proceed at leisurely pace!]

 

Can proceed at leisurely pace LOL. You had that advisory last year and from what I know any new rear beam has been pretty leisurely so far!!!!!!

 

:lol: :lol: :lol:

But I've had Tom's old beam only since November! Anyhow - got another 12 months now!

Got 1 out of 3 sheared stub-axle scews out now, just started heat treatment on the last 2 after a month of plus-gas failed.

Also got something more important to do [now that MOT's out of the way] - fit Shaun's old tailor made 2.5" decat ex pipe!

Took it to my local independent garage and it didn't make the bloody knocking sound at all on the way there, or when Nick drove it or when I drove home :mad2:

 

He reckons most likely inner CV Joint. Sod it I'm gonna buy one and get him to sort it - Can't be arsed doing this in the road in this weather. I'll start with the left and see what happens, unless anyone else has any better ideas??? :shrug:

Well what i did to my corrado today was, the same as i did yesterday looked at it tucked up nice and cozy in the garage. Then i lightly ran my hand over it with my polishing rag to remove a layer but very light layer i must add of dust that had occured over night. Roll on summer sunshine 8) I really should get out more :grin:

Drove it, first time since the 18th December.

 

Damn it was good :)

Cleaned and replaced some components on the tail gate struts, nice and tidy now. Tyres stripped off wheels ready for taking to the next level, but the black will be replaced with a more suitable silver OE style finish.

[Jim 2]

Washed it. Stood and scratched my head at how the backbox is how hanging off, and only being held in place by the rubbers. Think some new exhaust bits might well be on the cards!

Well not technically today, but last weekend I finally tax'd insured and MOT'd it, then this weekend I finally finished getting the glue off from where I had removed the rubber side strips nearly a year a ago :lol: Going to need a machine polish when the weather is a bit nicer. Also finished spraying the front VR6 badge and fitted that. Finally I did some stripping to the only wheel that I am going to strip myself. Such a shite job!
