SteveM Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I've been looking at waterless today (lack of work) has anyone already done this swap
Gaulson Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I'm planning to do it, just wanted to make sure I had no leaks after my little bump earlier in the year. Looking promising, still bang on after 600 miles :). It's perfectly safe to do, yeah costs a bit but you need to remember you wont be swapping it every again (y)
stants Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 Not sure about newage rads but classics are rubbish and don't last more than a couple of years so you will be changing it again at some point when it breaks [emoji52]
Gaulson Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 My RAD is only a couple of years old so should last for a nice amount of time unless I'm unlucky. The idea is to eliminate a cause of corrosion from the system and lower running pressures, worth it I would say.
stants Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 Fingers Crossed ! Mine was put in in 2012 and had another one this feb, rubbish design of the ends, newage could be different
betchers Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Today ive been pondering whether to get new alloys for the motor, maybe some drifts... Whats size do you all recommend because 18s just dont feel right... also any other suggestions on which alloys?
david1972 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 How I love the smell of fresh rubber in the early evening [emoji14] Not bad; ordered Friday, shipped from Germany, here by 3pm today [emoji106] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
AndyXV Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Got a bonnet, wanted 425 got them down to 350 with delivery more to spend on other goodies [emoji1][emoji1] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
stants Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 Discovered the bottom rad hose is weeping so I'll have a look tomorrow
Gaulson Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Did my first day of coach to 5k... wasn't so bad except I was running in a mini hurricane. Now sat watching the weather miss my car thanks to the hedge I'm parked next to, all the rain is going straight over ;).
david1972 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Is the forum having issues today - tapatalk like choc fireguard and posts online appear not to be being submitted (but then appear)
stants Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 Tapatalk has fallen over ! Was getting an error message, that's been replaced with a different one now, On the plus side my japshow ticket arrived today but doesn't say anything about being on a club stand and the window hanger wasn't included like last year ?
david1972 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 not getting email notifications on threads i've commented in either
stants Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 That's ok mate, hardly anyone has been on tt is still dead and the desktop site wasn't up and running properly until mid afternoon.
david1972 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 ah - they seem to have gone into my spam all of a sudden lol who knows how this electrical interweb works
Gaulson Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I just had to fend off a Micra on a long empty straight.... I was like "What is going on??". Still baffled now... On the bright side, I won ;)
stants Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 Didn't have a mid mounted v6 in the back did it ?
Gaulson Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 No idea, I'm sure it was a micra though. It had a 15 - 20 mile an hour head start on my by the time I put my foot down if that makes a difference lol. Just been looking, could have been a tuned 160sr model.
Gaulson Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Got my dash cam today, already set it up :). stuck it behind my rear view so it's not in my vision, wire tucks neatly around the edge of the windscreen and around the dash. Plugged into the cig lighter for now, will post a vid when I get home.
stants Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 Just been told that my whitline bits have finally come into stock and are being dispatched today along with some free goodies for the inconvenience ! 1
Scoobyghost Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Oh soc how I have missed thee. Damn tapatalk [emoji35]
martyc Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 My whiteline bits have been dispatched too :-) Just been trying to clean up the engine bay with a bit of metal polish to de-fur the intercooler and make it match my shiny new !Removed! brace Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
savage bulldogs Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Had a trial fit of the brembos and even though my rims have a wide offset, due to the concave design, I'll have to run 3mm spacers to be happy with the clearance. Did put a couple of pics but tapatalk said file size is to big (even though it normally works) [emoji15]
WideSam Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Spent 2 and a bit hours squeezing myself under the car to try and get 1 exhaust bolt and 2 brackets undone. I've successfully completed none of those! Looks like the saw will be coming out tomorrow I don't think I've got a career as a contortionist lined up either...
