  1. Really? Better get the one off my mates car asap before someone else does.
  2. Did it go with a bang? Or just work its way lower and lower? Having a tow bar, Maybe its been dragging an overloaded trailer in the past.
  3. Same at my work. Think you need numbers from existing parts on the motor and go from there.
  4. Lifts getting there. The floor is all kinds of cattywampus so its been a mare to line up. Its also bastard heavy! It was Wired up last night and now just needs some tweaking.
  5. Where i used to work a girl always came round in a little van. Prices were fairly high! But there was alway a huge line at the van. Madness really. But, She had huge norks. Spent so much time in that line
  6. If youve got the height go mid rise lift if the price is similar. With the car up in the air tinkering is much more pleasant, no being on your knees or on the floor is the best part.
  7. Deja vu, Thats the felicia tonight after its 2nd rear ender.
  8. That would be hungarys finest suzuki ignis in that picture
  9. Kinda, replacement centre plate supplied. Other parts supplier were wrong. I know you was thinking or purchasing a lift like this. Dont bother spending the extra with the strongman one. Just get one of the other types if you do. Its a awesome bit still and one of the best tools ive ever bought.
  10. Been a while. How about a general car cluster update. Well in all honesty not much to report. Ive moved12 miles further away from the workshop , this was to make my commute shorter but the side effect has been a drop in anything getting done at the workshop as traveling that direction around rush hour is a bastard. The mx5 returned. Winter has added some more "patina". Overall still pretty sorted. Brakes need a clean up and grease. Oil change will happen soon and the drivers window is getting stuck. Appart from that is now in the 114k range (bought at 109) and still mega fun. I was feeling a bit childish so i drilled the air box aswell and the induction roar is fantasticly loud now! Cracking fun This sexy silver bastard is just chomping up the miles still. Today i done a 140mile round trip to collect a tow bar and roof bars for it which will hopefully go on later this week. No issues to report appart from being in need of a massive clean inside. This pile of purest blue joined the party. Its a driver but we are definately in need of some improvement. Massive wheel bearing play up front and a busted gear selector mount and linkage slop are first of the list. Followed by a leaking rad. Dont plan to keep it long so id like to keep costs right down. The ugly pugling still being cheap transport for the other half. Absolutely full of shite thats "to go to the charity shop" gave it a quick oil and filter the other month before if went for an MOT overall needs for nowt. Black Astra currently kindly out the way over at the 6s place. Had just chucked new arms and inner and outter tie rods on before getting the tracking done. Another wagon that needs nowt doing to it now. I bought a big thing aswell which for the past 3 weeks has blocked the workshop up. A 4ton 4 poster. It was from a local garage at a very decent price. Influenced by some friends i bought it. It is however a bit large. Finger cross its functioning this weekend! Woop. And thats it. Nothing exciting, i feel a sell up on the horizon but we will see.
  11. See this at the tip re use centre. Exactly like mine when i was wee. Used to put mine up on my dads car ramps and lay underneath like a mechanic. when i was single digit age. Handbrake drifts yo!
  12. Its not just you. I snapped the mirror off trying to adjust it at speed!
  13. Discarded old shite, some pallets aswell
  14. You Could just turn the drive to the diff and count how many rotations to one full rotation of a wheel.
  15. Cctv catches older citroen lurking with much younger model by the bins . .
  16. Ha, perfect timing. Id just bought a pair of new ones but a decent pair in the same colour as the car would be less hassle! Possibly after a couple of other bits too. Ill drop you a message.
  17. Any chance the fellys front wings are rust free?
  18. Reminds me of the early 2000s modified car mags but a bit classier. Always had pics from car meets with Sharon from southend, baps out on the bonnet of a Vauxhall Corsa B while her boyfriend give the double thumbs up behind. Good times.
  19. FIGHT! Also this couple of battered bastards came from this ere forum. The 2 cars combined, theres about 15 different shades of red paint!
