Horney's Black 94 2.0 16v Plus - Sadly sold but thanks guys!

[Jay23Sx 0]

Looking very nice - love it in black. I have to say I don't mind mine in red but I didn't have much choice, I saw it in Auto Trader and had to buy it even though I couldn't drive at the time.

 

Know what you mean about gremlins, only been driving her for 3 days (and relatively sedately considering I've just passed) and today she decides (about a mile from home) that she won't idle but cuts out at low revs. Had to limp home doing kangaroo impressions.

I actually really wanted a yellow one but this one was local, in my budget (just!) and too good to turn down.

 

Mines not idling right at the moment either mate, seems the valvers have this issue no matter what colour they are, ha ha.

I don't think I'd mind dodgey idling as long as it didn't cut out right after starting :)

Spent today with a mate fitting the KR cam from a 1.8 and replacing my thermostat. Now goes much quicker and runs at the right temp. Result!

Nick,

 

I've just bought a 2.0 16V also plus a set of KR Cams - Did you fit both or just the Inlet? How difficult was it and is there a noticeable difference?

 

When you drill the airbox am I right in thinking that it's only the side nearest to the wing that needs doing?

 

Ian :D

Just the cam that's driven by the chain and not the belt (inlet I think). We undid all the caps on the cam being changed and removed them after marking up the chain and both cams. Then we loosen the caps on the other cam and carefully lifted it from the dizzy end. THis allowed us enough play to remove the other cam without touching the cambelt or timing. Fitted new cam making sure the dots and the chain marks were lined up then re torqued all the caps and then bunged her back together.

 

Yup drill the airbox on the wing side and only drill the bottom section.

My mate Guy came over today to detail the old girl before the show tomorrow.

 

Before a wash or anything:

 

 

 

Car washed but nothing done to the wheels:

50/50 split on the bonnet:

 

 

By the time we were finished it was too dark to get any shots so will get some from the show tomorrow.

That 50/50 shot is very impressive! Nice work! :salute: 8)

Good isn't it? I have to confess to being of the opinion that detailing is for "Geeks and loners" until today. I really didn't think it would make much of a difference unless you stared at the paint finish but really it has transformed the car. The nly downside is my stonechips and parking dents show up worse than before! Ah well best get saving for Dents Away and a bonnet repaint!

 

Best thing about this day was it was free as I wired in his DRL's on his MKIII Golf Gti and tested his compression as he thought he may have had head gasket issues.

*News Flash*

 

Reuters London: In a Statement from Horney Plc MD Nick Horne it was announced that there would be an immanent expenditure on a new set of rims. This will be the biggest single car modding purchase for Horney Plc since they heavily invested in modifying a Classic Mini back in the early naughties. More soon.

 

*End*

Oooo exciting when is this purchase being made?

[horney 0]

Maybe today, it all depends on delivery. I'm not sure I can get them delivered to work as although it's not a problem for work itself I won't be able to drive it home with the other rims in the boot without major scrubbage issues! I can't leave 4 17" rims and tyres by my desk and take em home one a day really either. Probably have to book a half day and get em delivered at the flat. This brings about problem number 2. Mrs Horney will go ape if she knows how much I'm spending so I need to avoid her finding out they're brand new and instead claim they're slightly used and were a bargain!

ROFL... try walking in from work with a KW box in your arms, thinking you've beaten her home and can nip out to the shed... only to hear "Hi Babe" when you open the door! Followed by "How much were they?"

 

Shed was cold that night! :lol:

Come on give us a sneaky peek of what they are :D

I had a similar issue with coilovers once. She was out for the day and I figured I could them fitted on the passat for she got home. I didn't take into account the possibility of a stuck bolt or two. She rolled up to the flat with her friend just as I was fitting the last one on the rear. Boy was I in trouble!

 

 

 

Come on give us a sneaky peek of what they are :D

 

You'll have to endure the suspense although I think I may have built it all up a bit too much and you'll al find it an anti climax!

Sorray about the crappy phone pics but it's hissing it down I'm not getting my proper camera wet.

Ooooo looks good. Surprised i like those but I do! Nice one :D

[horney 0]

I figured they looked good on a TT so should look good on a Rado. Also Andy on here has some on his Blue Valver and they looked really good.
