Saw this at Prodrive mate, stunning. What make is the front bonnet vent?

 

The bonnet vent is a Genuine S7 works vent. It's carbon and came with the Prodrive label still on it.
Took me 6 years to track one down, unfortunately unavilable to buy anymore and haven't been made since 2003.

 

Hi Frayz,

Regarding the gear linkage bushes you have replaced. Can you tell me how many bushes you changed and where you purchased from. I would like to do this on my classic. Can't find much info about parts required. Is it a complex task to change them?

Thanks in advance.

Milan

 

Not complex at all.

They came from Alyn @ AS Performance. Give him a call and tell him I sent you.

He can give you all the info you need.

Frayz

 

Thanks Frayz,

Will give Alyn at asperformance a call and tell him you sent me. It's another job to do over the winter. Sounds like a great mod. Did you need to press to get the old bushes out/new bushes in? Or can be done by hand?

Just want to be sure I have everything I need. Hate starting jobs and finding out I don't have correct tools etc.

Cheers again.

 

I used a large bench vice and slowly pressed my ones in. They won't go in by hand as they're such a snug fit. But do go in without any hassle.

I should still make it through this round though. Acoolaid will be the one to beat in the top 3.

Wow my nabisco account still works! Voted

 

Not much to update guys, found a small weep on my steering rack so that's been pulled out for a rebuild.
Being a JDM Spec C quick rack, the rebuild kits are like hens teeth and are having to come via special order from Japan.
So just waiting on that and I can put her back together... And go for another bloody geometry setup lol.

 

Frayz ill be needing a geometry set up after fitting front and rear arbs and drop links what kind of set up do you go for?

Martin

 

You should have a club card for the amount of times you have been for a geo setup 10 visits and u get a free one lol hope it gets sorted soon matey

 

Depends what's adjustable on your car Martin, I've lots of adjustability on my car inc camber, caster, toe, ride height, bump and rebound as well as the ARBs.
I'm currently playing with settings trying to get something I like.
I suggest to take it somewhere local and start with the Prodrive fast road settings, see how you like it and then go from there.

Lol, true mate. Although the guy who does my setup I know pretty well and always gives me a little discount as I'm always playing with the geo. Could do with my own laser alignment kit

 

Cheers buddy ill go for the Prodrive settings to begin with

Martin

 

Getting the itch for something else at the mo.

Anyone seriously interested in buying my car?

Although cant bring myself to write an advert for it right now.

 

What would you move to?

 

selling up buddy? How come

Martin

 

Depends, I'd swap it for something special or take a cash offer.

Not decided on a replacement yet, need to see if anyone's actually interested in buying it first.

 

 

It's not deffo going yet... I just wanna see if anyone is interested in it?

 

Would that be crabs?

 

10K deal or no deal?

 

Lol, no deal

 

Noooo don't sell mate after all the hard work and money that has gone into that car would be such a shame to sell up and start again because u just know you won't be able to leave your next car alone you know that car inside out but its your choice if I win the lottery I will ring u lmao

 

Craig,

I will be writing and advert and listening to offers of over £25K.

Not an ordinary price but not an ordinary car. I've owned her for 8 years and spent well in excess of £60K. There are lots of cars out there with the power but not finished to what I think is an acceptable standard.

 

Worth every penny mate

 

Well we will see. There have been numerous threads recently regarding prices for cars.
