  1. Just need to make your own if you want something different
  2. Sorry to hear about your friend bud. Nice idea to build the car in his memory though
  3. The standard suspension is one of the worst parts in the ms. Looks much better on the mg stuff. I recently got some new weather strips for the front doors from Rimmer Bros.. Again for an mg zs / rover 400.
  4. Dusty pic in the sun 2 of karen's wheels in the boot making tubs nose point up
  5. Welcome mate. Good to see you giving her a good going over
  6. Looking good from the sneakey pic
  7. They're mint figures chief! Bet you're well chuffed
  8. Cheers bud. Thought they were shot and needed a refurb. Saved a couple of hundred quid there!
  9. If you've got rusty brake dust on your wheels and you don't mind working with something that smells like old ladies' perm juice, then iron-x is the stuff for you
  10. so, summer is here (shut up, course it is) so it's time to ditch those winter tyres, which means trying to do something about the God awful rusting on my proper wheels. Some might remember the problems I had trying to clean off rusty brake dust.. Tried everything, scrubbing, t-cut, bilberry... All sorts to no avail. A bit of a search online led me to something called iron-x.... Omg.. Works wonders! Is a clear liquid that you spray on, and then turns the rusty crap to purple, which then washes off.. One wheel took a few applications, and cleaned them all with bilberry at the end, but it properly sorted them out. Time for pics.. Dirty purple rusty juice... Some bits I'd missed with the first scrubbing... It was all like that at first.. Some more bits missed on the worst wheel... Gave them a treatment with some rim wax when it was all done... Feeling good Here's what I used today.. Bilberry is in the spray bottle also, wheels changed in record time of 20 mins... under pressure for tea Pleased to say that all is nice and shiny again with no dodgy rust stuck in the laquer. Will take an on car pic tomorrow
  11. Weeny update... Had a six monthly service, but with the added bonus of a k&n for the teg air box, and, courtesy of @10000rpm an aluminium radiator, slim fan and silicon hoses to sort out my coolant loss and to add some new part goodness Also got a cheapo eBay intake tube to use as a feed for the air box instead of the temporary flexi bog waste pipe. I've left part of the bog pipe in situ to act as a tunnel / shroud to try and protect it from wetness, as I've seen the mugen one has a shield.
  12. I had to get my sill welded last mot as well. White decks are fairly rare... Especially vti ones. Hope you manage to save her
  13. That's quality! So is that with the standard springs and koni shocks? If so what's it like? I've got them with eibach springs and always wondered what they'd be like with standard springs.
  14. It'll be a shame to see the accord go... You've got it looking sweet (and it shifts too!). Totally bitten by the dirty diesel bug now though ey?
  15. Still my dream mod... Good to see Dave getting some new part love Those intakes are supposed to be tip top! Remember @johngreen537 getting one for his.
  16. how fucking brazen is that! Broad daylight and just looking up at the window like nowt's the matter.
  17. That sunroof bung looks tip top! Nice to see the DOHC stickers back on her as well
