Thats a s**t! Buyer protection mate you will get it back

[Gus!!]

Didnt buy them through ebay, just paypal. Its just fuckong annoying!!

[jonyb4]

as long as you didnt send it as a gift or "to a friend" your still covered, open a case on there

[Gus!!]

Na it was 'goods or services' so i should be ok??

[jonyb4]

yes and usually with little fuss

[Gus!!]

Yeah i will try and sort it tomorrow as i'm working about 14 hours today!! I just wanted
The light so it just pissed me off that i didnt get them!!

[Gus!!]

I'm going to need some tyres soon i believe as the rears are looking quite low
I currently have 185/55/13's they might be 60's i cant remember!! I am after some slightly less bulky ones, maybe 155,165 or something, what do people reccommend??

[willowandmikey]

They are 185 60 13 budgets are £50 a corner because they are not a popular size. Yokohama are sticky in the dry are £400 I know this as I had to make the choice recently

[jonyb4]

people on the XRtwo forum love 175/50/13's, and to be fair theyre stunning on a lowered car with pots

but personaly i dont see much wrong with chunky tyres on small wheels, the capri has 185/65/13's my pots have 175/65/13

55s wouldnt be bad either if 50s are heard to get

[Gus!!]

Yeah i think 175/50/13 is the way forward!! Also, i know if i buy wheel spacers i will need longer wheel studs, but can i get say 10mm spacers and use the standard studs or should i use them straight away??

[jonyb4]

wouldnt have said you'd need spacers tbh, pots are wide wheels for theyre size (well for standard wheels that is)

i have 5mms on the back of the mk2 and they sit nicely, nothing on the front

my advice, if your going bigger than 5mm, go for hubcentric spacers, yes theyre expensive, but theyre fit and forget, no out of balance wheels, no struggling to get the wheel on, they even come with studs i think

i have 15mm one son the back of the mk3


these are 50's

[Gus!!]

Shiny!!

[sam-si]

looks good gus! not trying to flog something to you but you don't fancy a uprated xr2i/rs1800 steering wheel?

[Gus!!]

It is funny you should say that, i am buying an rs turbo one off a guy at fitp!! i do need a decent exhaust though!!

[Gus!!]

Some photographer guy took some pics of the fez on sunday!!


And one of my mates gt turbo!!

[jonyb4]

dat colour

[Gus!!]

Ahhh you want blue??

Also, before

After

I have been looking for one for ages!! ignore the car-filthyness!!

[jonyb4]

oooh you 'conquering device' tease you!

[Michael!]

hoover the poor thing haha

[Gus!!]

Hoover?? You must explain this to me!! And jony you love the colour!! You wish your si was that colour!!

[jonyb4]

an idea!!

its a device we welshmen use for masturbation

[Gus!!]

I thought that was sheep?? I will hoover it before fitp, just havent seen the point with it being a daily in the winter and that, also, i have 1000 miles to do next week so it'll get filthy then!!

[Gus!!]

Got in the car yesterday morning, the steering felt really stiff (horrible) but only in certain places, it has happened before and we just sprayed some magical release fluid/lube, tried wd40 yesterday which didnt work is it a baxtered to replace the uv?? I also have lots of miles to do next week so i hope i can free it up a bit before then!!

[fiend]

Easy to replace. It is only two bolts, you just need to get the car high up on axle stands.

[Gus!!]

I feel i havent explained it properly, its the one on the steering column by your feet??

[jonyb4]

yeah i was thinking then lol, its by your feet, but you need to unbolt it fromt he rack int he engine bay, bit of a pig while engine is in the car

i dont know if thats to fault though, it would make wooley streering if worn, but dotn think hard steering is a symptom

[Gus!!]

Its fekkin wierd!! It seems really hard in places, but not too bad in others, but it helped when i oiled it before!! I'll have to live with it til next month at least i guess!!

[- Danny Boy -]

And risk the joint seizing causing you to crash and die? I think not..

Get it done, now!

"yes mummy"

[Gus!!]

I am off work today so i may have a look to see what can be done, i hoovered and cleaned the whole inside yesterday though
I then ran out of fuel on the way to a fuel station!! :s

[- Danny Boy -]

My fuel situation is pretty much the same in my car. I bet if I let it warm up it would cut out because there is just vapour in there lol

[Gus!!]

I had to Leave the car inthe middle o the road to walk and get a jerry can, then walk and get fuel, then walk back, then when i did put fuel in it took so long to pump the fuel to the carb that the battery went dead so i ended up bump startingit backwards down a hill!! anyways danny when are you showing me what all this 2.0 power is about like you said u would ages ago??

[- Danny Boy -]

When I can be bothered lol. The car doesn't get much use at the moment, I don't have any major needs for it, so it sits in the garage and I go out in my mates car with her - saves me a lot of money lol.

I'm sure I will show you it over the summer months

[Gus!!]

Most probably
I am trying to find things to make my car better that are affordable, hopefully i will be able to update with something worthwhile soon!!

[jonyb4]

you'd be suprised how cheap you can get an engine for, the 1800 i have, back when i fitted it to the mk4, i bought it for £80 complete with EVERYTHING from an escort estate, subframe, loom, box, pumps etc etec

after selling the engine that come out of the mk4, and all the other s**t, i actually made my money back and profited £20

[Gus!!]

Just a quick and not cheerful update, on holiday in liverpool this weekend with the mrs for her birthday, and some gammon slipper has decided to jump on/run over, my bonnet last night, result in my dent free bonnet now looking like this

Not happy really
