G60radoboi

My N/S/F caliper has ceased up. Got home to a funny smell and upon closer inspection came across the front caliper almost on fire as there was so much smoke coming off it. Parked the car up now and it aint going nowhere till I can sort it, will just do both so if anyone has a set IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION I would really appreciate it.

LOL, yeah I was on my motorbike hehehehe.

WOW!!!! What a stunning looking machine you have there mate.

Welcome. Looks like a decent project you got there and sure it will be bery nice once done.

Spotted a blue valver on the A406 north circ (IKEA). Stopped next to him and said hello.

I have a workmate after an empty shell with an engine. Can you quote on the VR and the valver shells withy the engine?

L***KNV - VR6 - FOR SALE in Kentish Town. Looks fantastic!

Coming along very well indeed mate.

Looking really good mate, i still wish I waited for a g60.

WHAT THE..........?????!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahaha

I know what you mean. Me and the missus are planning on buying a house in a couple years time as living in London is the pits. I told her my one stipulation is it MUST have a garage lol.

Sweet Jim. I will have a gander on the week-end if the weather is decent enough.

Nice one. Looking good mate and sure it will be on the road soon. Nice to have the space to work lol.

Thanks Kempy. Just confused as the cable I have is short and basically reaches from the throttle body to the firewall. Or am i correct in assuming that you would still need to remove the entire cable from the pedal and then re-join the section I have and refit?

Any giudes on here or advice on the best way to do it? I can see where the cable goes into the firewall but unsure of how to remove/dosconnect. Does it need to be done via beneath dashboard route or can it be done via the engine bay? My sticky pedal is driving me nuts now every time I drive the car as I am unable to keep a steady throttle position because of the cable.

Thanks mate. Body work is relatively decent but there is some rust regrettably. I wont sort it as I am selling up year end after I have had the car MOT'd freshly so the new buywer knows all is well. Not too sure about the top mounts if I am honest as they were on the car, post a pic of yours so I can see the difference, I have brand new JOM coillies that still need to go on the car as the ride is crashy as hell. Might be the shocks are knackered for all I know. Exhaust is just some unknown one I bought on flea bay, it is decent enough with a nice sound but I think the bend over the rear beam is not high enough as it vibrates on it, might be solved once coillies are on and car raised slightly. Time will tell once I get it all done lol.

Not a massive thing but I finally have working side indicators! Removed arch liner to thankfully find the wires just hanging there. Amazes me how some people look after a car. Also changed the white lenses for smoked ones so it looks a little more stealth.

Not a massive update but I finally have working side indicators! Removed arch liner to thankfully find the wires just hanging there. Amazes me how some people look after a car. Also changed the white lenses for smoked ones so it looks a little more stealth. So all that is left to do now is coillies and accellerator cable. Looking like I may need to replace wishbones too as they are looking worse for wear and the bushes also look shoddy. Later though as I need to remove my door card again too. Window is catching somewhere when it comes down and I think I know what it is.

If I had the money I would have your rado off you in a heartbeat mate. Lexus looks tidy too. Must admit I have never actually considered a lexus.

Also have a brand new down pipe for a 16 valve engine which I never used when I fitted my new exhaust. make an offer?

Not at 5K but if you can stretch a liiiiiitle bit further...... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201301114872763/sort/default/usedcars/price-to/7000/fuel-type/petrol/engine-size-cars/2l_to_2-5l/price-from/5000/model/leon/make/seat/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/keywords/cupra/page/1/postcode/nw108gh/radius/1500?logcode=p

Leon only comes in 4 door. The MK2 Cupra (57'ish plate) while looking a little bland on the interior has a 2 litre turbo charged engine (K04) and with a simple remap runs +-300BHP. Mine was a stage 2+ and was running at about 380BHP. Smoked just about anything out there that tried it on. I miss that car........

Looking good. Still want a G60 myself. May offload the valver in the new year and hunt for a G60.

Looks like it's coming along in leaps and bounds mate.

Thanks guys. It's a work in progress. Done my back in today working on the car so hopefully it is better tomorrow. Will rest and on Monday will see about the side repeaters.
