South Wales Cupras Chat

[PhilW]

Well i'm back. Been away since last sunday at a basketball camp and i'm ****ed.


Daz, you get weird clicking/clunking noises with your suspension? Mine is pissin me off now.



And the mk4 astra, was it a coupe one? Not my mates who was at the SW-CC RR day?


And talkin of SW-CC would be cool to have teh stand at the show.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Yeah mate. Seriously annoying.
Nah was a GSI turbo. Some Owain guy on the forum with a blue one knows him. Running regal EDS stage 3 lol. Suprised me at the time.

 

[Dave_R]

Owain? Blue Mk4? Good old mammys boy, gotta love it when parrents buy them fast cars. They came down the other night, 18 yr old... Focus ST, another one Fiesta ST, Astra GSi and Clio 182. The boy in the Focus screws his car from cold and then say's "Don't worry daddy buy me a new one"

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Hehe, he has no excuse for his still being standard then.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

While im here Phil, your saying there should be no trouble in jumping on the SW-CC stand for the show? Do we need to pay you or someone else for this, and how much?

 

[Dave_R]

Go for it, be nice to see other cars apart from french ones

Okay just been reading up and I see it's for Volksfest

My bad... anyway, up for camping there and doing the Porthcawl Crawl?

 

[davidol]

im game, but you all knew that already, annoys me when mummy and daddy buy their kids cars and they love to rub it in other peoples faces!

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Mesh fitted. I think it looks smart as

 

[PhilW]

Any pics of the mesh fitted?

 

[Daz_gibbo]

dave put some up of his a page or two back. Looks pretty similar haha

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Ahh it's not showing at the mo. Ill go take one now

 

[acidstrato]

looks decent daz

i is back from swansea, bloody shattered, got so wasted thursday night that friday i had 1 beer and 10 cokes

they love it down the kingsway though dont they...especially the corsas

also walked from town to mumbles for no apparant reason other than to kill time it seems, which was pretty silly

and got a ****ing interview/tests tomo in cheltenham to be a spy

 

[davidol]

you fit it i the same way as i suggested daz?

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Screwed it through the bottom and left the top. The top half is pushed up against the crash bar when the bumper is fiited so it's all good!

 

[davidol]

lol my way was better, im just in the process of changing all my picture hosting to photobucket, been using my mates for ages now and its pretty much always "bandwith exceeded", going to take me a while to change all the links though!

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Meet next week some time peeps? Bit of a photoshoot for some more up to date piccies..

 

[PhilW]

Feelin the meet idea.


Next wednesday? 8 in Showcase nantgarw?

 

[davidol]

on lates this week unfortunately guys, might be able to show my face but that'll be all!

 

[Forbez]

Hmm maybe, no guarantee though!!

Im sure there will be a cheer coming one you read this:

Had a free night last night, so i delved into the magical mystikal warddrobe and pulled out two items! DP/Race cat and the Forge TIP.

Got the car over the pit o do the work and i must say, what a **** of a job it was! The pissing RSD intake was a pain to remove, but got it done in the end! Took too long though, and didnt get a chance to fit the DP.
The pit is too shallow to stand up and to high to kneel, so i was squating, my legs ache like a mother......... today!!

DP will be fitted by my mate, as i have lost interest at the mo!

But the TIP is fitted, and seems to pull much better! Aint really driven in in anger yet, as its low on petrol, but im sure i will!

Also started polishing the rocker cover this morning, looking good too! I'll probably be getting it done properly, but wanted to give it a go myself, and im happy!

 

[Daz_gibbo]

What did you use in your DIY polishing attempt? Might give it a go this week...
