South Wales Cupras Chat

Im alive I think , couldnt make it today phil .... i was green!

Decided to wack my super-ts back on the car until my pro race rims turn up. As Dave said 17x7's et37s with 15mm spacers. Rubbed like a mutha ****er. Taken the spacers off and rubbing has stopped. Also got a dead wheel bearing, along with a dodgy electrical problem thats making my lights pulse, and my passenger window has totally packed up!

Good weekend for cupras

Stinking dirty pic --

I got a wheel bearing gone on the back. Whirring like a mofo

not been having much fun guys by the sound of it

im feeling pretty ****ing rough and it wasnt even a great night out, it was good but not worth the 40quid i spent

Phil i picked up some proper ghetto tuning bolts for the coilpacks, pack of 10 only cost a quid in local hardware store and they are fine for now, if i eventually swap all 4 i will order some decent lookin allen key bolts

 

[davidol]

so what you going to do long term then matt? run the spacers or get the pro race's? high enough offset to run both? or is it possible to bash the offending metalwork out of the way for clearance, im wanting some rims big time now, fed up of running on standards!

 

[davidol]

oh yeah forgot to ask anyone free to do some logging with me tomorrow night? think the maf's dying again as she feels quite flat etc

 

[PhilW]

I'm ****ed.


2 hours to get the stupid ****in TIP back on the cunting car. I hate the piece of ****. And now i dont think its on that well. The tip kept on sliding off when i tightened it up. Lots of swearing and lots of blood lost. I gave up in the end and got my old man to do it.


At least i got a call off my mate to get two new tyres fitted at 6 o'clock. Now thats a quailty company.

 

[PhilW]

Dave, apart from the mass of red piping, which i think is overdone, all black looks quality....

[davidol]

thats a satin finish isnt it? thing is though i've only got the inlet manifold and charge pipe left to do, would they look good in satin with the matt black throttle and rocker cover? i agree though, looks ace!

 

[rogers]

fair play i really like the look of that engine bay!

Crickey, sounds like a bad weekend for most!
I had the stupid EML light come on, but replaced a few hoses, and secured my rattly gauge pod!
But then again, i didnt really drive my car all weekend.

Daz, how can you moan about going to a gymnastics thingy? Loads of bendy birds!!

Matt (Rogers) if you need a lend of a car mate, im sure i could pop down for a bit to measure up what you need.

Carl: Cant have been much of a night for £40, but FMIC should be here soon, and we want pics of the CAI.

Matt: (Jonsy) Cars looking v nice on those wheels. Whats the new toy then!

Dave: I'd say the black looks bloody good, but as Phil said about the pics, there's too much red in there.

Phil: Crickey mate, sounds like a bad weekend. You could have given me a shout with the TIP, I'd have given you a hand, i had feck all to do on saturday. How come your selling an inlet mani?? Do you have another that your getting polished then? (I'm interested, first dibs)
And how come you need you mani welded??

 

[PhilW]

Tom i bought a spare one, so i'll be sellin the one on my car when i get the spare polished.

And the one i bought the vac nipples had snapped off so i need new ones welded in place.


Carl, any sign of the CAI?

 

[acidstrato]

not so far..I'm dying with anticipation!

iv got the cai on the way by parcel force so hoping for sometime today but should def be here tomo if not
aswell as awaiting word from Peter at forge as to whether the delivery came in and the hoses are available

got work at 4 so unless something happens soon i guess il have to start my own magic wardrobe

 

[Forbez]

Where did you get it from Phil? I've been looking for ages!

Is the TIP sorted now?

 

[Forbez]

BTW Phil those piccies of your rocker looks wicked!

I need to de-clutter my engine bay!

 

[PhilW]

Sniped the mani on ebay btw.

 

[Forbez]

Ahh, cool!
I've never used an ebay snipe! Which one do you use?

it seems abit dodgy though, as you have to enter your password details.

 

[Jonzy]

I hate my car, burn burn burn
