  1. ^^ Look's mental Trig, ...I have no idea where you're going to sit but it looks the nuts.
  2. Alloys look great and I do like the bumper tuck.
  3. Think I'd have to go with the Mustang GT fastback. Prefer the looks of the Nismo Zed but the Mustang would scratch that V8 itch.
  4. That's what I think. I'm almost positive that pipe should be connected to the PCV on the passenger crankcase, ...I wonder if there is anything on the passenger crankcase or if it's just venting to atmosphere now. Either way I can't see anything to be gained from doing that at all.
  5. When you're on Photobucket Macnore if you look on the right hand side of the page next to the pictures are the "share links", ....click on the "direct link" and it will copy the URL automatically for you. Then all you need to do is paste that into the URL box on the image icon (looks like a polaroid picture) in the "reply to this topic" box on a thread. Done it for you this time. Doesn't look too bad to me although as Brillo mentioned no idea how good that filter is at filtration. Stick a K&N filter on it instead and at least you'll know it will stop any crap getting to the engine. One thing though ~ your "Z air induction tube" is fitted incorrectly. That rubber pipe should not be coming out of the side at the 9 o'clock position, ...it should in fact be at the 6 o'clock position & most definitely connected to something (pcv pipe I think).
  6. Those alloys are definitely unique mate and to me I think it makes the car look sort of futuristic (if you get what I mean). Personally think lowering it might fill the arches better but it might also compromise daily driving so I wouldn't ~ Your car, your rules so as long as you're pleased that's all that matters.
  7. Great video Keyser. Wish I'd been there for it.
  8. Mack you can paint Hammerite directly over the rust but it's always best to get as much off as possible ~ use a wire brush or wire drill attachment ~ if you can get it back to bear metal before you paint then that will give you the best results.
  9. Does sound rattly doesn't it. No help I know (sorry) but can imagine that's a bit annoying.
  10. Personally for the underneath of the car I'd just use Hammerite metal paint. Link: http://www.decoratingwarehouse.co.uk/buy/paints--coatings/metal-paints/hammerite-hammered-finish/417 You can get it in tins or spray cans, smooth or hammered finish so you can get a decent finish with it & it's supposed to give protection for at least 5 years.
  11. If you go to the site though it's actually a bit different as they get to drive the cars on the road rather than a track following a pre-arranged route lasting approximately 20 minutes according to the blurb. Source: http://drivesouthwest.co.uk/package/fathers-day-experiences/
  12. Does sound interesting, ...I knew there'd be a good reason why people have kids.
  13. Totally understand the problems with putting music on publicly available videos. Plus you can't please all the people all of the time just some of the people some of the time as everyone has different tastes in music.
  14. I get what you're saying about the cutting/hammering but it's a useless piece of metal that's in the way imo. It would only need a slight modification like bending it down a few mm's or cutting off a few mm's to make getting that dipstick in & out a lot easier. We'll see though as I've things to do this weekend so may just forget about it.
  15. Envious as usual Graham. Love the steering wheel & new paddles.
  16. Like the race action and camera work but have tbh when I say that I wasn't digging that music. Nice video though.
  17. I didn't have any problems with electrical looms in the way (mine runs the same as yours in the pic) it was just getting it passed that metal lip that I found troublesome. Hence my reason for thinking about trimming some metal off to give it a bit more clearance (or belting it with a hammer ). It did trip a little passed 2.5K as a local garage that an old mate owns let me down twice as I was supposed to be using their lift to make the job easier but in the end my mate said I could come & do it at his house where the ground was at least level so I just used my trolley jack. Worked out for the best as he made me a cuppa whilst I did it & we had a good chat whilst the oil drained.
  18. Meant to post this in here a while ago but totally forgot. When you say "minor fiddlyness" Chris do you actually mean "right pain in the ar*e!". My mate let me do my S/c oil change round the back of his house near his garage as he had level ground for me to use (pretty rare in Wales ). Anyway everything was going so easily until I came to that bl**dy dipstick. I found that thing was a nightmare to get in & out. In fact I'm thinking of getting a hammer or some sort of cutting implement this weekend to try and remove some of the metal near it so that it is easier to put in & out next time. Oh and I followed your guide thanks, ...apart from I filled it from the top vent plug as Mark@Abbey Motorsport said that's how they did it so if it's good enough for him it will do for me. All's running great so that's nice.
  19. That's what Bob said at the weekend, he said go black or blue with the splitter as well I think the black breaks it up, shows the contrast of each better I agree with that, ...think black would be the way to go. Good job with the repair G.
