Mk1 cabby 2.0 16v on twin 45s

Well she failed, but on nothing major so should have her sorted and retested in the next 7days

ah what a sh*tter dude, sorry to hear that! hope you get her sorted soon

im quite suprised with how well it done actually, failed on numbers plates, emissions and front brake inbalance, so will have to have a gander at that over weekend but others aint no biggy.

Shame mate, but hey not to much work to get her thru!

looks awsome pal keep up the good work

yeah should have it all sorted this weekend hopefully, gonna get new plates made and jus turn the mixture down on the carbs for the emission.

And the brakes i think its jus a sticky piston or might be cuz theres a slight kink in the brake line where it come out the master cylinder, we'll see when i have i proper look though i guess.

got some cool bits comin soon aswell, thanx lee

if there is a kink in the pipe from the master cylinder it will definately be that mate, run a new pipe to it chap.

Woop woop,past the MOT today so the cabby is now fully road legal, for probly the first time since ive owned it.

fitted new speedo cable today aswell but think the actually speedo in the clocks in knackered cuz it only works sumtimes and it doesnt go back down again very well

Oh also, my hammer and front arches had a nice lil chat over the weekend so hoping that will help with the scrubbing abit, will have to see when i get the wheels back on on saturday.

good for you dude new she would pass second time

Just a small update,

fitted a new rear numberplate from platemyride.com who i cant recomment enough.
And took the rear fog off and went over the rear panel with a coat of satin black.



Also when washing it i went over the roof with autoglym roof cleaner and protector which im quite pleased with.

nice to see the little details coming together dude, the plate finishes the back off nicely

Well the inevitable has gone and happened, thanks to these wonderfull british roads we pay so much for every year ive got 1 nicely fucked rim (no pun intended lol).





Was goin into town to meet sparrow for a pint, and on my way through friday bridge i hit a draincover that must hav been a good 4 inches lower than the road surface. As you can imagine im not the happiest bunny at the mo

Im gonna give it a go at knocking it out and repolishing it 2mora. will see how that goes, otherwise its a decent refurber so if ya know of anywhere that could sort it let me know.

thats not pretty. didt this happen before on your old 306?

Na dint happen on v2pug, happened when i had my arosa though, and that was on steels put a huge flat spot in it.

thinking bout goin taking a photo of it and writing to counsil, but theyll only do wot they did last time, and go and resurface it straight away and tell me theres nothinwrong with the road.

ive buckled two wheels on a pot hole before biggest bang ive heard in my life

thats gutting m8! i ran over the bottom of a cone the other day, saw it cummin but they had narrowd the lane so cudnt miss it was nasty but lucky i didnt hit my rimmage.

u shud write n complain tho like ya sed we do pay stupid prices for the roads to be shite

so true, i like the way they've resurfaced them all lately hate the sound of stones hitting my car when im idleing in 2nd chipping the paint.

hope you get your rimmage sorted soon matty and its not too expensive.

I did it to my schmidt th lines a few times makes me want to cry.

They only seem to resurface roads in the middle of nowhere like upwell wisbeach.

Did you have yours refurbed phil? if so where?

no not yet unfortunatly. I want the radox hardend steel outers from schmidt they dent the curb not your wheels.Ive had this number in my phone of a wheel refurb company i was going to use i still might soon.Give em a call on (01442834169)

theres a refurb company in spalding, lincolnshire if you want i could get the number for you...........i have it somewhere as i plan to get a set refurbed

let me know ???

cheers guy, i know quite a few refurb places an dhave used a couple before but thats jus been on normal alloy wheels that jus needed flatting down and repainting, and theres a little bit more involved to sort this out it hink so dunno if them sorta places are up to the job or not

order new lip/dish and send bill to the counsil matt.

your lip will need alloy welding in which it is more than likely to show once its polished back.

Can be done
I had something like this belowe





Done just need polish
