[skymera]

WDIDT? This

 

[SirChris]

WDIDT? This

I approve.

 

[pork]

Seconded

 

[Clodo]

WDIDT: nearly blew up Mildred :O
...
Ok might be exaggerating slightly...

Just drove home from work and half way home she was making an horrendous noise I can't even explain it but it sounded like it was coming from the engine bay, gear box and exhaust. Like she was very soon going to go bang :/ managed to get her home but the entire car was shaking violently and the clutch pedal was vibrating too? Is my clutch about to go bang?
And ideas?

[AJC]

TD04

Nah its the LPT model, so only a gt1549, same as what i got already, dont need the turbo, just boost pipes as they will fit for what i am going with

 

[mr2karl]

Today

I drove it


Another galaxy that contains no mortals

 

[chrisuk2009]

Had to mess with my tyres, was veering to the left. Running at recommended 29 front and 33 rear. Want to keep my high MPG, is it worth bumping them up? Car's completely stock

 

[SirChris]

[Enuo]

I thought front was meant to be higher, carrying more weight. I run mine at 40 front and 36 rear

I think frank used a gt1549 on his when I drove it, spooled in no time! It died though you never know he might want it!

Good point, must have read it wrong on my door panel. Cheers!

 

[chrisuk2009]

All sorted, got some front grills to paint, the guy was pissed off though! Paid £10 for some, after a new front wing

 

[McMicra]

WDID?

Not done it yet, but going to grab a few photos so I can get a good comparison for before modding and after , so ill post a few up later tonight, nothing spectacular as still stock

 

[chrisuk2009]

Found rev counter dials in a facelift, I want to use it however it has nearly 3 times my miles at 216723!

 

[Enuo]

Rebuilt rear n/s brake cylinder, removed tie rod from rack pending replacement, replaced number plate bulbs.
All I need to do for MOT now is a 1"x2" patch welded to back of n/s sill, headlight aiming and a new tie rod.

 

[Low Rider]

Got out the SuperS front seats I've had laid up for the last 3years and put them to good use in the GX. Forgot how sporty they are compared to stock seats.

 

[Enuo]

Might have tweaked the Wikipedia article section to do with k11 super s

 

[chrisuk2009]

Just a heads up the the chrome grills are a slightly different shape when they went to the final design to K11c (is it?)

Found out the hard way haha.

Picked up these

Instead of:

 

[Belly93]

took this back off the car to clean it up , any tips on polishing the bar?

 

[karlj]

I find a rhythmic up and down motion works wonders

 

[Huggy444]

Use polishing head on a dremel and some brasso maybe?

 

[Enuo]

[Belly93]

[SirChris]

Work your way down on wet n dry with some metal polish to finish

 

[h701micra]

How did I miss that... no fun glad karlj and enuo were there to make a point I would stated too

 

[Enuo]

Work your way down on wet n dry with some metal polish to finish

Translation:
Use Paper to get wet and slippery
Polish to a satisfying finish

 

[karlj]

We really need to clean up our acts, ok not as much as belly needs to clean up his bar
