No logs last night, had to do a few small things (like re-tighten the rear brakes, yes the calipers had come loose. lol. And Loctite coilpack nuts in place) first then i couldnt be bothered.

Might do it sometime this week.

 

[mr_D]

your rear brakes come loose?

 

[PhilW]

Yeah just rattled a little when braking, not a big thing really.

Think i've finally stopped my oil leak tho.

Note for anyone whos thinking of gettin a smooth rocker cover, dont bother, they more hassle than theyre worth.

met plenty of boys from stroud in the past

Phil, Cars still dirty, I was knackered last night! Absolutely fecked!

Do you know where Matt got his zorst rubbers, i've mailed him but no reply.
Wanna order them today.

 

[mr_D]

any one knw how to set up gear linkage! mine feels **** and reverse is so hard to get. plus i keep breaking things!

 

[rhysox]

does anyone know what material the rocker cover is made from? also the charge pipe that goes over the engine and the inlet manifold? cheers

 

[rhysox]

phil- regarding the actuator, if fiddled with, will it still go into limp mode with the n249/n112 removal? or is it all part of a different thing? thanks mate

also.. still got these cupra wheels if you're interested phil

 

[PhilW]

Rocker and pipe should be alu.

I can go into limp mode if overboosting, which is what the n112/n249 bypass increases.

Pic from singleton park this weekend, dont look bad does it, didnt even polish anything properly either.

 

[Forbez]

Mmmmmm tasty Phil, very tasty! I do love those Gold Citreon Xsara's.

Phil, your gearknob, with the shirtlifter, I mean short shifter (B&M cody), would i be right in saying that you have to have the liftup gearknob?

 

[PhilW]

Yeah lift up reverse richbrook flavoured bad boy.

 

[Forbez]

Phil, just spotted something missing from your Photobucket pictures, you have no piccy of the B&M copy shifter! Pretty much everything else is in there though! LOL

 

[PhilW]

Hmmmm, i'll have a look on my pc for it, must have taken a photo of it at some point. What you after anyway tom?

 

[Forbez]

[PhilW]

you've bought a diff? Good work!

 

[acidstrato]

think he means he plans too

love the pic phil very shiny
do u still have a screen wash bottle?

 

[Forbez]

PMSL Nope, wouldn't mind one.

I'd written a list of stuff to do, and the Peloquin diff, was on the list, as something to read up on, not to buy, but it seems i added it to the list.

Although, after driving your car phil, I think i'd seriously be tempted by one, as Matt, says thats part of the work that helps make it that quick.

 

[Forbez]

do u still have a screen wash bottle?

Yes he does, but its not in the engine bay!

 

[acidstrato]

ohhhhh very clever! boot jobby with the battery then?
