cupradave Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) nearly forgot, little update on my car for you all Well, the rear diff is on the way out, there are some god awful noises coming from the back of the car when off the throttle and after describing the symptoms to Ian at P.A.C.E he is sure the diff is giving up. Luckily Ian has a diff he is willing to let me have for much cheapness. The exhaust is blowing like hell, but this is a obviously an easy fix to rejoin where it is blowing but finding the time right now is the hard part. She does not seem to like cold starts now, she cuts out and hunts like mad when cold but once warmed up she is fine. oh and I think the power steering pump may be on its way out too On the up side I figured out what the new Whitline parts I have waiting to go on the car are Roll-centre / bump-steer adjust kit Subframe lock kit Heavy duty steer rack mounts Transmission Crossmember Bushes Support-Lock Bushes Rear-Differential Thats it for now, unfortunately the old girl is gonna have to wait until I come back from the London Motorcycle show before she gets any loving Edited January 22, 2009 by CupraDave

cupradave Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 Although not the splitter I originally wanted, I ended up buying a P1 front lip through a group buy on ScoobyNet, at the price they were being offered for it would have been rude not to buy one Anyway, it arrived this morning so I fitted it as soon as I got home after work What do you think? I also bought some corner mud gaurd pieces through a fella on SN today, have been looking for a set of genuine ones for ages. They will need a little tidying but they were cheap so I had to have them. Oh and the blowing exhaust is fixed and I am going to wait until after the next rally then see about getting the car into Ian to have the diff done.
cupradave Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 Thanks folks, will get some better pics at the weekend in the daylight Got my corner mudguard bits today too
uRaBu5 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Car is looking stunning! Would love to see the front mount in black. Derek

cupradave Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 Have a look here Emz Professional Detailing Consider the paint correction, this is what I had done last october, it gets rid of all the small swirl scatches in the paint from using poor quality washing products
tommo9375 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 This has got to be one of the best classics i've seen, a credit to it's owner!

Emz Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Thank you dave but its not just swirls I am thinking getting it wrapped could be really cool
graeme_stuart Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 If you shine it anymore, it will be invisable . Helen has a new addition... her full driving licence. She passed it 2 weeks ago. Graeme.
cupradave Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 Give my congrats to Helen mate, thats great news so when you buying her a scooby?
graeme_stuart Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Give my congrats to Helen mate, thats great newsso when you buying her a scooby? Well, she needs to get the plaster cast off her arm and remember how to drive again first. She had an operation on her wrist the day after her test, and has a cast on for three weeks. .
cupradave Posted July 15, 2009 Author Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) Crikey! Been a while since I updated this thread. Not much been going on really except things breaking and trying to keep the use of the car to a minimum. I think I mentioned before that the rear diff was making some awful noises, well it has got about 10 times worse. I think I am lucky the diff has not chewed itself to pieces and that the car is still usable. The other thing is a broken near side rear shock which is now knocking on every small lump in the road let alone the larger ones. I have a new rear shock coming from Whitline which should be here by the end of the week and I have a new diff for the car. The rear diff has come from MadManx's P1, only problem with that though is the ratios are different to my car so I am swapping out the gearbox in the car for the one out the P1. This will obviously driving the bill up somewhat but there are a couple of benifits in the swap. I will have a shorter throw on the gearstick and the ratios from first to fourth are quite a bit shorter than the current gearing in the car meaning it will be even quicker off the mark (as if it needed to be quicker) and I will also have a UK fifth meaning motorway runs are scream free. I am also having all the goodies I got from Whiteline last October fitted at last and the clutch sent off to AP to have the pucks on the paddles replaced. The car is booked into Ian @ PACE next wednesday, cant wait to get it back Edited July 15, 2009 by CupraDave
