Hope he's being reasonable about it , bud Yeah no problems at all hes a good bloke and I gave it a good test run for him to see it ran properly before he took it. He's now deciding on rebuilt or break it 😥. I suspect he'll break it because he wants 400bhp and didn't know that will mean a new 6 speed box too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesJDMwagon Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 My starter motor has been playing up lately so I had a look in the shed and found one from a facelift. To my surprise it fits perfectly. Gave it a good clean and a repaint to match my shiny gearbox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Finished work early today ,so decided to switch the 4 in 1 gauge sensors over to the defi ones and wire the defi controller and gauges in 😎 Soon realised (again) that I'm much happier wealding a spanner, than doing sparky stuff 🙄 Mid mayhem pic 🤪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I’m a electrician and I detest car electrics, they’re a dark and evil art. More electronic than electrical (bigger difference than you’d think) the stuff in cars. Always a million ****** cables everywhere you look in cars too. Good luck haha! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesJDMwagon Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Chilled day in the sun decided to paint my rocker covers. Pictures don't do it justice the red paint I used was from eBay honestly one of the best spray cans I've ever used. Camera doesn't show up the pearl in it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Nice work bud , told ya ..... You'd get carried away with a shiny bay 😂 Cleaning ,Prepping and painting is time consuming but it's relatively cheap and looks good imo 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahnstormer Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Nothing as exciting as some of the stuff on here . Fitted some mist washer jets and received my member pack in the post 👍. Pressure from the jets now seems a bit low, so that'll be something to figure out at the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
