ickis86 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Back in U.K after 3 weeks at sea, change of plan, was supposed to be going back to that ship in a couple of weeks time but another engine on another ship has spun number 4 main bearing so needs to have the whole engine ripped out. So the phone goes on Saturday evening a day after getting home and about an hour after getting all my rear brakes stripped, ''Can you be ready to travel to Antwerp on monday" so spent Sunday rushing around getting s**t ready without the car. Ah well. Got a set of braided lines from Hel Had to order a new right side rear handbrake cable due to my impatience and a seized clevis pin. Stuck in ship mode and got the grinder out. Cleaned up and wound the calipers back in nicely, looks like these calipers are good to use, getting ready for paint, if i travel Tuesday and not monday i'll get a couple of coats of paint on before i go, if not they'll have to wait. Hopefully all the brake fluid doesn't drip out while i'm gone. i've got the old hoses clamped pretty good though, even used my crap pairs of molegrips so i can take my good ones on this job lol Thats it for another few weeks. Been reading lots of tuning e-books and guides at sea and it's just inspired me to go turbo for sure. Budget not as much of an issue with all this work in the pipeline. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and a mate did his car with this stuff, it was really good. That was going back quite a few years ago, and was soo much cheaper than Dynamat.

ickis86 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Scored a full vti-s body kit off a gentleman in Leicester for the grand sum of 100 quid. Even has complete front and rear bumpers, foglights and even washer jets! Needless to say I'm quite chuffed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
