  1. I've just replied to your mail, I wouldn't go too heavy on the central bolt. Find tension, secure with the outer nuts, which will retain the tension you set. In creating too much tension you'll hear the strut brace creak, or the bolts on the feet. Make sure also the strut feet bolts are tight (as per mail, not sure on the torque setting).
  2. Might be worth driving around without the passenger seat and carpet so to see where the water comes in. But my hunch is as Keyser says. As well as muck that fills into the water drain channels. Trial and error matey
  3. I found this out the hard way with making the Plenum Spacer, and through trial and error, well I found that manufacturing can be done in a number of ways. The 6 nylon spacers that sit within the plenum chamber are costly, you'd wonder how they're made. My first visit to an injection molding factory. Took my sample, left them to quote me happy and returned to the office with an email..... Excitement! More like OMFG!! £2,400 for the first 120. That made them £20 for each nylon spacer. Okay so that cost included the tooling, but still I'd need to sell thousands to recoup my initial setup costs. But through investigation of process, materials, purpose and requirements, these parts are actually "turned". Still I have to pay a fair whack, because in their terms I'm only asking for 120 at a time. If we were talking 5,000 I'd be seeing a pretty decent discount. The same applies to all the parts made for the spacer, I'm producing these in small volumes because I don't want to be caught out with hundreds of spacers that won't sell. Okay so profit is low, but leftover stock should be minimal once I stop doing them. Manufacturing is very interesting I have to say. I actually found it rather satisfying to make something further improved over another manufacturer, especially as my first ever venture into this game.
  4. Erm........I'd say that was deal of the century! A shame Chris, but if needs must. I don't think you'll need good luck with that price!!
  5. you've amazed me matey, I remember the Saxo sat there as your trusty beast, rattled to hell and still the reliable motor that you care to fix, she should be proud of you for dedicating an entire day to fix her. You could have done with my Gazebo to be fair How's the zed?

  20. I was going to say actually the amp is underpowered for your requirements. Underpowered amps will cause premature clipping and you won't be getting the best from them. Double your amp budget as mentioned. There's some good amps out there nowadays.
  21. Jim, I'm not getting pic 5? (Throw?) Steve I'll have to take a look. I've tried my hardest to avoid the Wales posts as it made me very sad for not going. BUT as it rained it made me feel a little better. Cheers GM, it was a tad funny this guy miming from his car. I so need to get some videos as there's no point waiting for Octet's videos from Wales LAST YEAR!
  22. I'm sure the re-spray is older than Feb 14. RT did it last year I'm sure, at their old premises. I'll investigate
