  1. (one hundred and) sixty nine dude
  2. I've been using an app called ulysse this week... it's a gps speedo and is pretty accurate, but the reason I downloaded it was because it does 0-60 (and 0-100 / quarter mile) times. so every opportunity I've had I've been razzing away from junctions etc and have used shed loads of petrol, only to find that it's way too slow to start / stop to be any use what so ever. this morning was the best time, and that was 10.5 secs... I glanced at the phone when my speedo was nearly at 70, And the timer was still running! uninstalled. good speedo app though if anyone wants one.
  3. still want to keep the economy at lower revs
  4. I've been looking to get a p72 with iabs lowered to around 4.7 / 4.8k... coming at it from a different way I suppose
  5. sounds cool - how are you finding the higher cross over? is it more noticeable? also, how does it pull between 4 And 5k?
  6. mine leaks from the panels behind the lights, rather than under the rear glass, but still think that it's coming from the rails. I'd been reading around on the web to try and find an answer, and found that jazz's have problems with leaks from there, and the description sounded like the same thing.
  7. I'm hoping that by removing some of the air flow restriction will help with the de-misting duties
  8. cheers. drives even nicer now... checked the tyre pressures at the weekend and instead of being 2.3 at the front and 2.2 at the rear they were 2.6 all around!
  9. I spent a few hours and got the radiator, compressor and couple of pipes out. the most awkward bits were getting to the bolts at the bottom of the Rad, and disconnecting an electrical connector that had welded itself together. I've still got to take the bits behind the glove box and the rest of the pipes. it's fairly straightforward though... was more of a pain until I took my manifold heat shield out and got more room.
  10. I've got a leak it my boot too, but not as bad. I've convinced myself that it's coming from the roof bars... was going to check on Friday but ran out of time.
  11. my air con had needed charging the whole 7 years I've had the car, so thought I might as well get rid.
  12. hope so... it's nyon 2 stone hanging in front of the front wheels forgot to say, also fitted a replacement screen wash motor (cheers 1000rpm) and also replaced the missing driver side headlight washer and new clips on both sides... been bugging me for ages but haven't been ar5ed to take the bumper off!
  13. been a while since I've updated this (though not much has happened ). Got the extended ball joints on, not a massive difference to be honest but it is noticable (drove around for a week with just the driver side one changed and you could tell there was a difference between wheels). I need to get an alignment done really, and then I'll find out, but I think that there's less camber than before. Also, I've lost a bit of arch clearance, but not as bad as before getting the spacers fitted for the shocks/springs. I've just had the aircon de-gassed (only 50g left in!) and have taken the aircon rad and compressor out - 11.5kgs weight loss.
  14. garage is awsome Dave I so need a garage
