ok. Well i will bring laptop and leave with u for the day if u want. There is nothing on it apart from a few pic's that i want so might just format it. I will try those speed bumps then. See how they go. I dont know part number. Think its in the part's thread. But im doing an exchange on it though.

 

[rhysox]

ok fair enough mate! when i "bled" my clutch, loads of fluid came out- will i have to replace this?

 

[mr_D]

i might have some in the house will have a look in the morning.

 

[rhysox]

cool mate. guess i can't have really ****ed up too bad with it??

 

[mr_D]

no. Its only a little fluid. But just so u know. U should try and catch it in a bottle or something! lol

 

[rhysox]

alright that's cool then. just really want my car working again haha. thought i'd try and get the frickin spring working... then remembered you mentioning bleeding the clutch and gave it a go. silly me!

 

[mr_D]

lol. Yeah silly you. I really need to sort my tracking and camber. Its really bad. Not able to get it done till tuesday. Plus i think i will defo have to raise the car. Im going to catch on every speed bump around. Probably wont be able to get to work tomorrow

 

[rhysox]

well if we get my clutch sorted- i'll drop you & pick you up, that's no problem mate!

alright guys just want to thank ryan & rhys for giving me a hand to fit my forge fmic on friday, must say im really pleased with intercooler, pulls lovely higher up the rev range.
pics to come soon when i find out how to attach them........

 

[mr_D]

no probs mate. Will get some log's done in the week for u!

 

[rhysox]

i actually hate my car. all i want is for the clutch to work. no big deal.. but not a chance. put slave cylinder back in all tight, and it still hits the floor. now i've got a big red flashing (!) thing on my dash but no codes. fantastic. think i might just get rid of it. i do actually hate it

 

[mr_D]

lol. Rhys i will be there soon. Dont panic. Plus if u hate it then i was a waste of time fitting that dp

 

[rhysox]

i'm just being annoyed with it because i can't drive it thanks a lot mate, see you soon!

 

[PhilW]

Rhys, one word about your downpipe. Melting.

If its touching stuff then its gonna melt things, your shifter cables are directly above your dp, so get it sorted soon.

99% done on the boost controller now, fits perfectly in the card/coin tray thing. Shame i havent drive it yet.

[rhysox]

phil.. yeh it's gonna be sorted this week! we bled the clutch and now it's working ok until i get the little clip.

big flashing warning was low brake fluid- obviously due to bleeding it! silly me again!

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Phil those shifter cables melt with or without a bigger downpipe on mate, when we was doing ryans clutch i noticed his melted just like mine are and his is a standard downpipe, its only the rubber around them thats melting and god damn its sticky lol

 

[jivejester]

strange... phils were pretty mint compared to mine.

Just finished welding my bushes in, what a ****ing nightmare. And another set of top mount bearings chewed up.

Another 2 ticks of the maaaasive list of **** todo

 

[jivejester]

gave my car a good hiding on the way back after dropping the mrs home and the revs went up fast but came down very slowly when not in gear/clutch pressed down. anyone know why this may be?
