Get paid on 4th, so boot build could get finished. Also, I will be filling up so will see if my lambda sensor has improved my fuelling issue

UPDATE - Lambda sensor has worked a treat, but I still managed to spend all my wage in 2 weeks :(

End of Novemeber til Beginning of January I will be getting a fairly large amount of money, so dropping the car 50/60mm all around and hopefully getting new alloys. Not sure what I want yet though.

Also going to be looking out for a 1.6 engine, not in such a rush for that though.

To answer your previous question the vtr and vts wheels use the flat bolts steelies use the tapered ones but doesn't matter asking as they don't fall off

Definitely need some new shoes on the spaxo!

Finally got a decat manifold from Ali123.

Here is a video of the exhaust sound.

Crashed it. Brakes failed leading to me rolling into another car.

Dont look to 'bad'

How did your brakes fail?

Air in the system I believe. They work fine now.

It isn't too bad, as far as I can see just a new bonnet and bumper needed. But who knows what is hiding behind all that. Radiator wasn't hit so can't be too bad as that would be first thing to go if the crash has led to more issues.

Picking up a gloss black bonnet and a VT* front bumper later!

Pics when I get them

Air shouldnt get into the system though unless theres a leak

I know, I'm guessing it was from when we changed the fluid a few weeks earlier. Either way, I'm going to change all the lines when I get paid.

looks like bonnet, bumper, headlights and slam panel to me mate, cheap fix though :)

Bonnet on, bumper ready. Slam panel was twisted, sorted it. New headlights are needed though!

As said, got the bumper and bonnet tonight. Bonnet went on after twisting the slam panel back, had to use a fucking engine crane though! Bumper going on asap, and getting headlights when I can. Here are some really poor photos for you!

looks royally fucked now =/

You can't fit something to something that's bent mate start at the foundations and work your way up. start with a slam panel they are only quids.

Could have got one from the guy who sold the bonnet?

Slam panel is fine now, all straight etc. Bumper is just hanging off though and light brackets are all snapped. Once they are replaced, will all be gravy!

Sorted out headlights, picking them up tomorrow.

Ok, so it is fixed. Still a bit of sorting out to do, straightening everything etc. After that, it will be fine.

Glad you got it sorted mate :D

Cheers mate, still thinking of a way to raise the bumper though!

A better photo! Needs lifting in the middle, still thinking how though!

There's only 1 of them rubber bungs that go into slam panel on the bumper, same with the hangers, but I have no idea where the hangers go either. Under lights?

Gimme two mine I'll see if I have a picture from my crash


Two of those, mine need bending upwards slightly

Oh, I just have one and it's on the bumper itself.

Ahh, well that hints towards it bring ragged off the old car lol

They slot into the slam panel though right? The rubber bung in that white hole? I will have another look when I get chance though

As far as I know mate, getting my cross member and other bits replaced this year though :D
