Yeah i do. Logged it before when he was sorting the problems out.

What problems was there with the car ?

 

[PhilW]

Dead maf and a coilpack went.

Was running sweet on stage 2 after that. Nice car but i think hes asking too much lookin at the prices of them now.



Had a nightmare with the brakes tonight, both are on but i cant bleed them for the life of me. Think the garage is gonna do it now.

 

[adevtr]

Ahh well looks like i paid too much then, because thats the one that i have bought! lol i got it for 5500

 

[Forbez]

Didnt he mention before that it was a cut and shut?


Whats the probs with the bleeding Phil?

You still got a contact for those header tanks?

 

[PhilW]

Ahhhh, i'm sure he was asking more for it than that. You got a pretty good one there tho.

Just not sure which nipple to turn or what size they are, basically i dont have the tools. See my thread in the Braking section.

I wouldnt buy one of those header tanks, just get a proper bailey one. The chrome has pretty much come off mine now and the sensor leaks.

 

[Forbez]

I thought yours were Bailey ones.

I'll have a look at the Braking thread, as i've got loads of tools mate, so can see if i can help you out.
May book tomoz off to fit the Rear ARB, and try to sort my knocking exhaust.

I'm intrigued how people jack their car up high enough, and use axle stands to lift the car, fully eoungh to get under the car.


BTW Ade, i was only joking about the cut and shut.

 

[PhilW]

Cheers for that tom, but it looks like the garage is gonna do it now, but have a look anyway.

I think i need a deep reach 6.5 or 1/4 inch deep reach for the top one and looks like ~12mm for the bottom.

 

[PhilW]

Tom you want this stealthbox and amp?

 

[Forbez]

I do want it Phil, but cant commit the money sorry mate, got a few things on, if you can sell it, sell it, if you still have it later on, then i may have it.

 

[adevtr]

Guys wheres the best place to get my 70k service done, in the south wales area ?

 

[PhilW]

Not really sure, i went to Westec for my sevices when i bothered about service history, but i change stuff so often i do it myself now.



Tom, you got a 1/4" ring spanner?

 

[Forbez]

Erm, not sure, I think they are all in my car, but mine are normally in mm.

Socket set be of any use?

 

[PhilW]

Nah needs to be a spanner, its for my nipples. .


Anyone going to Eurofest this saturday?

 

[Forbez]

Does 1/4 equat to mm in any way?

Pics of your nips then.

 

[rogers]

id do the service yourself and just keep the reciept for the oils etc.... prove its been done,

hopefully my brakes ul be fitted tommorow afternoon when my brakets are finished lata on today, other wise saturday and il be taking the mrs lupo to eurofest

 

[PhilW]

Nah 1/4 is 6.35mm. So a 6.5 feels right but it will round it.

Pics of the brakes soon dont worry.



As if your brakes will be done rogers, what you goin for?

 

[Forbez]

Those Brakes!

 

[adevtr]

Yeh i would do the service myself but the fact that its a water pump and cam belt change, puts me offas i dont really know what i am doing!

 

[adevtr]

You had my heart pumping then, and then i thought i done a HPI so that cant be right surely LOL

 

[Forbez]

LOL Sorry mate,

Phil, checked and no 1/4 sorry mate.

Where you from Ade? There is Dubusiness in Llantrisant, he's apparently good.
