[SirChris]

WTF jae has gone?

 

[karlj]

We're on about next year, ya muppet

 

[r-reg-sr]

the show must go on,,,,,(the purple furball said)

 

[karlj]

What's the easiest way of undoing the crank pulley bolt when you can't use power tools?

 

[pollyp]

engine in or out?

engine in: maybe stick in topgear, lock driveshaft via wheels on floor with handbrake or apply the brakes, big socket with long breaker bar

engine out: lock the flywheel against engine block with a piece of metal, lay engine on side, bodyweight on top and big socket with long breaker bar

 

[karlj]

Cheers Paul, engines still in so will take it easy

 

[SirChris]

I thought I had dibs on the engine and brakes? just realised they are for sale. Sorry correction, I thought I was buying them off you lol! Whats your plans?

 

[karlj]

I've decided to fix the leak

 

[SirChris]

okay, so which ones you selling? you selling the motor? Sorry just so i know, I have had money put aside.

 

[karlj]

I doubt anything will be sold, only two people have shown real interest and I don't see it being worth removing 2 things then being left with a car I can't do much with

lol there aint much left of you we can do much with! make ur mind up lol. Need to upgrade my brakes really, Might just go for good pads and disks.

 

[karlj]

Can't go wrong with quality pads and discs, might even be worth changing pipes and fluid as well

 

[Dougyledds]

I'm well happy brake squeal has gone along with the knocking noise I was getting from the suspension

What was your knocking noise in the end mate? ive got one on my front left side and cant for the life of me find out what it is

 

[karlj]

I never found out in the end, I think it was the wishbone bush

 

[karlj]

Fed up of sitting around not doing much.... so it's time to play with seats

We're done!!!

Eyeing up where the bolts need to be

 

[pollyp]

aww, little fella starting young

u putting bucket seat onto a stock seat frame? hope its not too high. maybe the front padding on urs is lower than mine?

when i briefly hot glued my sports seat onto the stock rails twas so high i couldn't get my legs below the steering and head touched the roof

 

[karlj]

I didn't have the choice, he just wouldn't leave me alone and was really enjoying himself so couldn't say no

When I had my sparco's I had them on stock frames and they were fine, but I will be test fitting tomorrow just incase

 

[r-reg-sr]

now we know whos doing the hard jobs

 

[karlj]

Well I can't take it easy on him even at his age

 

[karlj]

Cheers Paul you were right, going to cut the frames up to get them to sit at a hight I like

 

[karlj]

Started hacking up the original seat frame only to get this far

before my angle grinder decided to break I've had it for 5 years or so and it was a proper cheap thing so it's died a good death

 

[skymera]

Good thing is you can now pick grinders up for under £20 and cutting discs are only about 75p

 

[karlj]

I've got a load of cutting discs just need a grinder lol, going to see about getting a new one next payday

 

[karlj]

Still need a new angle grinder but picked this

up for the princely sum of £6.24

 

[karlj]
