  1. great work, Hope you can sort the problem with the plastic and the heat..
  2. so first real long run since getting the gearbox work done yesterday (trip down to Leeds with work) and think that I might have noticed a theoretical problem with the ratios.... I imagine that if (for example) you were to take it to high revs in 4 th, then there would probably be quite a drop in revs when you change up into 5 th.... especially if it were to happen on a hill and you had a lighter flywheel... it would probably still pull alright, but there would probably be a surprising drop in revs that doesn't happen anywhere else through the gears... probably.
  3. yup... 6.5 years with tubbs and still can't see what else I would want (realistically)
  4. mate, you've put so much into this car. can't argue with the need for space though... so what's next? a deck
  5. the nuts on these wheels need a little tool thing, so they're pretty safe, and myoem wheels are starting to look well past it, so they should be safe (fingers crossed...)
  6. aye, the keis for my normal wheels are the same. was quite funny when I got to my mates garage, I went to show him what was up, and the nut just undid by hand... must have loosened it when I thought it was starting to shear anyway, got them all on now
  7. cool bananas man... should be sweet
  8. yup... they sure are... it won't be going back on next winter that's for sure... does anyone even steal wheels anymore?
  9. 3 down, one to go... but my locking nut with only half a shaft is welded on and the key feels like it's gonna slip/shear when I try and put some pressure on. waiting to go and see my mate... think it needs a gun on it so it can be pushed onto the wheel instead of twisting with the brace
  10. hi, I got mine from a scrappy, but I think it was from an mb. I do know that lings parts fan still get them, or at least they could a few months ago. it says contact us on their site - send them an email to check.
  11. Online for me too - get 12 months for mine, coz if I do six then I end up with MOT, tax and insurance in a few weeks of each other
  12. mine does it if I turn the ignition on and try.to start straight away. never happens if I let the fuel pump charge first
  13. I can add the dc2 manifold and down pipe to the list of bits.that fit.
  14. prettycool bud mint for 30 quid too
