Tried this, coz I saw frank do it

heh the spoolup can depend on the size of turbo eh neil, and the i/c will add a bit of delay

 

[MicrAde]

I would have thought thats fine Neil, that bag has loads more volume than your plenum/cylinders. Thats just my thought on it, wheres all the turbo nutters when you need em??

Well at least the turbo works after I rebuilt it, plus it does have that massive crack in it!

It's just another theme that is in the ever expanding world that is car modifying

Replaced the fuel filter, quite a job! Needed the battery and airbox completely removing :

 

[JoeK11]

Attacked the bumper mounts with a mallet to stop them chewing my tires! Theres actually a groove cut in the tread!

i bent a curvature in my trailing arms to cure that joe they pulled the axle forwards

I wish i had the tools/knowledge to do that accurately! I think if i attempted it i'd end up with rear wheel steering :s
Might look into adjustable panhard rods though, i think the issue will go away with the axle truly centered... least i hope so!

they bent with surprising ease joe (they are hollow tubes) adjustable ones would be safer tho i guess

Its not for everyone I must say, but I think it's different from most mods, I mean you don't want to over do the whole sticker bomb theme. Just makes it stand out

First post so best start the way I mean to carry on; I removed the engine from my car today along with a bout of DIY tuning (removed front Cat, changed HT leads, chopped springs, set gaps on Bosch Super 4 plugs ready for new engine to arrive et cetera)

Engine and Gearbox out

HT leads stripped to reuse the useful parts.

Measured up the struts ready for a wee bit of grinding

Chopped and resprayed

Cat removed

Enough for one day me thinks!

 

[SuluR]

Tried to minimise the dent on the wing.

After.

Crappy pics

get the wing off to bang it out and it'l look much better, bit off filler prob and done

Yep i had it out, used a bar with a rubber tip and slowly worked it all out but the paint is creased from the dents so there is no 100% fix, shame... so far from a couple steps back (and good lighting lol) looks perfect better then the picture.

I also realigned the bumper as it was about 1cm inward (if not more)

 

[MicrAde]

Not so much what did I do today

Thanks white van man for doing this and just fooking off!
This on the other hand will make some people happy

Nooo one of my favourite K10s bloody idiots!

Doesn't look like he did much damage, is just the bumper ripped off?

Looks 100x better now

 

[JoeK11]

New knob

and looking slightly less hayuuge in proper perspective

now feeling somewhat obliged to colour code a bit to match it!

 

[MicrAde]

Broke sidelight but was able to hot glue it back together, bumper was ripped off but its broken plastic fastenings on inside of bumper so ideally both will need replacing at some point.

Thought you may like it Karlj, if I remember correctly you have voiced your dislike of yellow lights on more than one occasion

 

[karlj]

At least it's not a write off I need that car once it's for sale

Say whaaaaa!!!

Bastards, did he stop?

Must say, it does look good with the clear lenses

 

[mottymicra]

Custom fitted the Peter Lloyd system to accommodate a 4-2-1 (welded a flange on)

Might have to cut the bumper though, dang facelifts

 

[MicrAde]

Nah, he just fooked off mate. Somebody did get his reg so gonna be on the lookout for him! With everything thats going on lately with this motor it may be telling me to go ahead with what we were talking about the other day

 

[markbognor]

Glad it wasn't too serious Ade.

That's harsh! Hate those sorts of people

You could see it that way......but I wouldn't let the car win!

I still kick myself for not picking up Pork's(?) white carbed K10.

Its pretty obvious he knew he'd done it cos witness said it went with a right bang...and alarm went off! Wanker! Must admit Neil since doing head gasket and water pump it is running better than ever (hastily touches wood.......and not in a rude way!) and have pretty much fallen in love with it again
