Wicked, thanks mate. You think i should bring that 16v pump aswell?

Also wired up some tunes. Have'nt got any speaker boxes at hand so i using these polo 6n door pods for time being

I still have the fuel starvation prob if i drop below half a tank(only right handers). I know whats causing it but for now, i just been keeping it filled up.

Last monday i collected it from my mums, filled tank to the brim. Now obviously cause its so much fun, i've been a little heavy on the right foot lol
Does'nt help when i've taken a few peeps out in it to show them what its like haha

Anyway, fuel guage was going down so i topped it up again. £20
Looked at my milometer to see i just done over 100 miles
Whoops

Decided to lay off going past 6krpm for a while now

Custom stainless strip mate. Only 2 was made and the other got painted in the end.



Also replaced the ISV and the dizzy for those off the other 16v engine i have. Ticks over loads better rather than up and down every so many seconds and also feels more responsive although that could be due to the timing being more advanced than it was before.

very nice m8!Ill have to get the foil tape out:shock:

Thought i'd fit my porsche handles rather than just store them in the garage. Had them for bloody ages.
First off, my original door handles needed a separate key for the passenger door so i decided to play with the lock barrel to make it work off the same as my drivers and ignition. 1 key for all then
Pic of barrel shims from other handles i used to swap round

Original barrel needs this bit filing down so it just spins in the handle. Porsche handle is slightly different.

Then its just a case of swapping the opening lever over by pulling out the tiny pin.
Job done

they cool rather splendid

damn they look good!!!

cheers lads.

I'am going to polish them if i get time

An old workmate of mine volanteered to have a go at straightening and generally make an old bashed up tailgate look good
It was blue and was well used, came off a 175k+ truck.
Well what do ya think to this...

I going to use it as a daily and store my mint one up for shows

Probs get young curtis to do his business on it

Eventually they'll be bumpers phil, for simple reasons to protect my mint tailgate(not that 1 in the pic).

Probs cost approx £550 to replace a tailgate on one of these things



Also collected some more bits today from a caddy i actually won on ebay for 99p lol. It was a minter til written off hence the cheap win. Decided to take what i wanted and leave the lad the rest. On had 52k on the clock.

I got the Mint petrol tank for this 1 and also took the remote central locking he not long had fitted at a cost off £200. All going into mine now
