How are you applying the suede? its something I've been considering, want to do the roof lining aswell. do you use the spray carpet/fabric adhesive?

When you say the bearing threw a fit, it didnt do what happened to mine and you lost the pulley wheel aswell?

 

[Gav_F]

no but judging by the way it was moving about i didnt drive it haha! i remember reading about yours craig so i thought best not to use it! you got the AEX engine?

 

[CraigW]

I have the APQ engine but Im sure it is pretty much the same engine/layout just a different code. I now have my coilover to replace

Car is looking good mate .

 

[Gav_F]

whats wrong with your coilies dude?

and cheers! ordered a power steering pump so all good cba to pay £150 for a new one rather pay £32 from a breakers!

The rear drivers one is leaking and its making the car drive terrible. So waiting to get it replaced through warrenty. Also need a new handbrake cable but thats nothing really.

I did the same thing regarding a power steering pump.

 

[Gav_F]

not worth spendign hundreds on lol wanna get it decent and paint for this year then sell it march 2012

 

[CraigW]

I wouldnt mind a new car but Ive got a holiday in June so that comes first. But after that Im thinking of saving up and getting myself a Mk3 Cupra or maybe even a Mk4 Cupra.

But I might keep the mk2 as a daily for getting to/from work unless I live closer to work by then.

 

[Gav_F]

i just want to get my uno turbo finished and on the road

 

[kares]
