tooSavvy Posted April 11, 2021 Author Posted April 11, 2021 One of my main concerns was always >> oil line installation = holes in dash Some time spent sitting in the car has convinced me to go 'screen pillar/pod' - I can fit the gauge at the lower end of the plastic [removable] cover + feed the oil line/illumination wires down the screen pillar (basically an open ended tube) where the aerial is atm Feel good about the plan now......

tooSavvy Posted April 12, 2021 Author Posted April 12, 2021 Now..... you all know me ..... nobody could guess in a month of Sundays why I just bought two of these @£1.65 ea. https://www.wickes.co.uk/FloPlast-50mm-MiniFlo-Downpipe-Pipe-Socket---Black/p/114589?utm_source=google&scid=scplp114589&sc_intid=114589&gclsrc=ds&gclsrc=ds ha ha ha *clue*... I may f#ck up first try.
tooSavvy Posted April 17, 2021 Author Posted April 17, 2021 This is how I see [through!] my pod install. Wiring and oil pipeline can feed easily through bottom of pillar trim. Looking good {to me} Brian likes some of this too !!
tooSavvy Posted April 28, 2021 Author Posted April 28, 2021 I haven't posted much cos not done much.... *got a haircut today YaY! Ahem.... Took the ball n chain for a cruize along the coast at lunchtime and, when we ran out of good views [Blyth!], I slotted onto the Spine Road/A19 to zip back into Wallsend... Well, y'know, it is a Straight>>Flat blast (those who drive it at all...) so I decided to scare the mice who have moved into the exhaust .. during Lockdown! Nothing learry >> new wheels are brick solid steady + my MiNi wheel is 100% aced on centre >> squeezing all the lemon had us on an INDICATED 85 .... BUT .... The 175/70-14 tyres are a 10% underspeed on the speedo *speedo errors are unconfirmed, officer* I like my SuziQ, folks.....
Jikovron Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 85 is not too shabby, my s100 powered estelle will eventually do about 80 but it takes at least a minute or a mile to get there! tooSavvy 1
tooSavvy Posted May 1, 2021 Author Posted May 1, 2021 Well I Never Did Seee...... Coming up past Wellfield, from the seafront, a turquoise Swift 2dr ..... as the sun was in my eyes I only sort of 'half saw it' out of the corner of my eye and it was past us, the opposite way, in a flash.... That makes 2 in the N.E.
tooSavvy Posted May 28, 2021 Author Posted May 28, 2021 Sunny N.Shields thismorning...... Warm, at last! privatewire 1
tooSavvy Posted June 16, 2021 Author Posted June 16, 2021 Nothing to report..... good thing Looking forward to UpNorth *meetup @Teesdale 24/07. *may 'detail' (OK twobucket.....)
tooSavvy Posted June 19, 2021 Author Posted June 19, 2021 My *two 'lodgers' are about their collective devilment [again!] .... Second cousins seem to be 'flopping out' wherever I looked down at the tranny stick [I do wish there was a selector display in the dash....] and one of the fu##ers was making a swift dash for 'warmer climes' up my jeans leg. SPIDERS *from doormirrors! privatewire 1
tooSavvy Posted June 29, 2021 Author Posted June 29, 2021 Taking advantage of some decent, warm weather.... Splashed some wax about... Fitted the ex tip (kept back when ToMM© went) & replaced a few of the old Vac pipes.....
tooSavvy Posted June 30, 2021 Author Posted June 30, 2021 Ba11s... The s/steel tip for ex is a wee bit bigger than SuziQ outpipe... It is wobbling about.... Wedgerrie to be orgaznized

Wedgerrie to be orgaznized I stuck the s/steel tip into the vice... Drilled through & tapped fresh pinch-bolt hole..... Nice plated M6 bolt = its on till hell freezes over *shout out for 'cheepz chink taps, via BayofFlea'.
tooSavvy Posted July 6, 2021 Author Posted July 6, 2021 Loaded my Bday money onto my card and have been giving it 'large' on the Retail Therapy Bid into BayofFlea on 'NOS' Delphi pads.. Accepted @£10 freepost. Scored for 2x Discs @£24 freepost. ..... just need Suny dayz
tooSavvy Posted July 7, 2021 Author Posted July 7, 2021 .... Whilst I have the wheels off & up on my stands, I will co-opt anklebiter to do a fluid flush through the calipers OTOH I might 'repurpose' my Poondies cycle pump (reverse piston) as a Vac... Into a pop bottle! We will see..... brandersnatch 1
tooSavvy Posted July 9, 2021 Author Posted July 9, 2021 Dog and Bark.... Daughter secured 'freecycle' unused/unwanted capper boots I got 'volunteered' to drive over to Fenham to pick them up However, driving alone I get to choose music + volume level. Home now = Happy & ears ringing

tooSavvy Posted July 12, 2021 Author Posted July 12, 2021 Well...... 8 Months, come the 18th. .... still haven't blown up the slushhie I think it's ace +100% for having the spiffing MiNi steering wheel mod!! looking forward to zooming around Teesdale on 24th
tooSavvy Posted July 13, 2021 Author Posted July 13, 2021 I have decided to put something, a badge logo in the centre of my steering wheel. Other versions (in BL product...) had the Plug! Dunno what these are off but, at about 1" x 3/4" one should do for me very nicely as a Centre Badge. £6

tooSavvy Posted July 15, 2021 Author Posted July 15, 2021 Tesco are pumping out Castrol 10W40 'Ultraclean' [tescocard holders] @£13. Don't need it just now but it will go in @12M = October
tooSavvy Posted July 17, 2021 Author Posted July 17, 2021 Just finished cobbling together my 'One Man Vac Bleeder'© .... The pump is actually from HomeBargs @99P (dismantled and piston refitted upside down) The blue fishtank 'clack-valve' means only air passes INTO the pump body.... with a pop bottle + rubber hose I can draw out my brake fluid while I'm sorting the Discs/Pads
tooSavvy Posted July 17, 2021 Author Posted July 17, 2021 Geezz..... It's hot! QE2 park, nr Woodhorn, Ashington. Swans & cygnets.... but mum & dad kept them safely on the lake Nice *nosh for lunch. *SWMBO has already picked out 'All Day Breakfast' as her plateful, next Sat.
tooSavvy Posted July 19, 2021 Author Posted July 19, 2021 Had a bit of a shock! ...... lol I made the mistake of imagining I was dealing on here... A guy over RR has just parted out 2 square old Micras. He invited offers and I had noticed those tough/thick Dealer Fit 'NISSAN' mats in a piccie... I enquired a price for the set [4 if they were there] = £40 del. PASS.....
tooSavvy Posted July 21, 2021 Author Posted July 21, 2021 Such a nice day, yesterday, we shuffled a quick 50miles up to Stannersburn - the Kielder Reservoir road - and had lunch at the Pheasant Inn. brandersnatch and loserone 2
tooSavvy Posted July 22, 2021 Author Posted July 22, 2021 ..... Spent £12 on these mats >> OK doesn't say NISSAN Thick EPDM rubber, not the skatey plakka $hit
