what you having done davey boy ??

 

Come on spill the beans Daveyboy.

 

There maybe some nut removal occurring

 

do you mean dave will get out when its on the hoist

 

Is that what cost you
Luv ya

 

Involved a lot of nut removal and replacement

 

Carbon fibre pipe and slipper holders.

 

And matching carbon picnic basket

 

Well i must say aMASSIVE THANK YOU
To FB Tuning aka fiestaboy
Had a new clutch and lightened flywheel fitted after Rich was able to get some unbelivably tight nut removals
He stuck in there when i am sure others would have lost it and belted **** out of them
Further he took time to look round the car and noticed a few things that needed work done even though he did not need or have to.
That is the sign of a good Conscientious person in my book.
Richard also explains things so you understand what is needed in easy ways.
Some pics of the day






The old items its wet in there due to the amount of nut moving spray that was needed



Now the new stuff



Rich playing with the nuts



When Rich was looking round he found this


After a trip to SGT a new one was fitted
Also Rich noticed the tracking was not looking good
So he realigned the tracking with the addition of some adjustable camber bolts and 4 wheel laser alignment.
There he found that the last company who done this had done a "job" and i wont go back to them again.
Rich will be doing that and the other work for me from now on

Again attention to detail cleaning and copper slipping of the lining pegs and edge before the box was replaced



Other work Rich has carried out for me





Again a very good job done
Rich thank you very much for your sterling efforts it was a longer day than we both expected but you stuck in there and was only satidfied when all the work including the unexpected retracking took longer due to the way it was left before
By the way it sticks like super glue now and has a more confidant feel to it
You have the info for the other work and look forward to you compleating it when you are able
Thanks a lot
Dave

 

Finally all is revealed

Looks like Rich did another cracking job. :

Need to pay him a visit myself to get my tracking done after the rear wheels took the beating getting rid of those alloy bolts.

 

Looking good Dave...

How are you finding the new clutch???

 

Thanks Mikee can you drop them of today
Did not know you luved me that much to buy them

 

Summers coming bring it on Jon

 

Hi Ash
It is a lot lighter and i have been advised to go sit in traffic to help bed it in better it requires pumping in
Had a bit of that last night coming back from P1 meet as the M25 was closed so the detour was nose to tail for an hour in back roads
Well pleased with it
Dave

 

Well worth the visit and as i say Rich makes sure he is happy with the result first
then he phoned me next day also to confirm i am happy great aftercare service by Rich

 

I still struggle to get hold of him do you guys have some sort of hotline

TX.

 

I just phoned his mobile this afternoon and he answered straight away - he obviously doesn't like you

Seriously, keep trying, I call him this afternoon to pick his brains and as ever he was most helpful - I now owe him a beer

 

That sounds good mate i have heard nothing but good things about excedy clutchs. Will have to try one next.

 

My one is rubbish, but it is one of the earlier ones that I got before the anti-judder version came out.

 

mine is anti Judder so no problem there
go for the new type much better IMHO
dave

 

looks like a job well done i need to get my allignment done etc so i will be making a trip up to him soon

 

Let me know when and we could go across as a oner rather than Rich trekking backwards and forwards to the alignment place - I fitted my ALK yesterday so I'm all set

1 degree toe-in all around
1.75 degrees front camber
1.5 degrees rear camber

Or should I go for more camber

 

cool i just need to lube up my nuts

 

I just need to rebuild the front end, FMIC pipes off for painting and bumper off for some final tweeks prior to respray

 

always fiddling

 

i had my car serviced saturday by rich, great job as always worth the trip
