Daniels Blue 182.

[Matthew]

Yes, get yourself along buddy. I have track time booked for the AM session.

Not decided yet whether to drive down early doors Saturday morning or stay in a hotel Friday night.

Will be a cracking day.

 

[Kchristmas]

Yes mate! Wana drive down togeths?

I'll camp all weekend I reckon.

I'm up for driving down together

I'm still undecided what day I'm going though as I'm not really the camping type!

 

[dann2707]

What better way to become the camping type than doing it with a stranger from the Internet you've only met once in a car park before haha

 

[JoeMarano]

Doggers?

 

[dann2707]

Nahhh haha just a murderer

 

[dann2707]

everything is breaking at once

 

[Matthew]

The joys of clio ownership mate.

 

[dann2707]

Tell me about it man haha

Atm I have, loose PMS top mounts - bearings seem dead and are wobbling
Leaking gearbox from the selector shaft despite fitting new kit
Wobbly wheels - not sure if ball joint or wheel bearings
Revving problem still persisting but going to @MicKPM on Friday
Wobbly gearstick due to worn bush under gearbox

Very annoying things to fix too!

 

[Jekyll]

But the spoiler looks awesome!

 

[Dan_R*]

This was on the way, but I stopped in this layby thing as I really wanted a babybel

Love this car and one of the best looking standard(ish) ones on here. Correctly lowered + v6 spoiler = even better!

Thank you Dan I'm glad you like it mate

I've just called powerflow exhaust near York asking them how much the hanger would cost to rectify and he said £20 so that's awesome. I'm going over today at four to fix it. Really sound guy on the phone and he's booked me in last minute so that's good.

He's also going to resleeve the exhaust up at the front where I did it as that's not fully sealed it's blowing a bit. Will get back today with pics!

 

[dann2707]

Guy was an utter hero. Only charged £70 all in to weld new supports on the exhaust along with two new mounts. The exhaust was leaking ALL over too so he's patched them up for me along with sleeving the upper joint where the olive joint usually leaks. Most of it was tig work too and absolutely bossed it, such clean welds. He pissed himself laughing when he removed it as the welds were shocking before hence why a lot of it was blowing.

Car now sounds incredible, no hissy leaks anywhere and it's central as anything at the rear. The guy was called CSK fabrications in York. Just owned and run by the one guy who really took interest in the car and the mods i'd done to it. Really recommend him

 

[Jekyll]

Excellent stuff. We need more people like that in the industry.

Right result mate

 

[leedsboy]

Sounds good, might need him to have a look at mine as im sure something's not right with how raspy it sounds.

 

[Nick_Leeds]

Good to know of someone recommended Dan might check him out. You coming to CSS? I'm on the AM track session. Probably off down the day before and going to camp.

 

[JD_RS172]

I have a set of OZ F1's tucked up in the unit unused and in pretty much perfect condition in anthracite.

I'm also only in Wakefield so give me a shout if you're on the hunt Dan

How much you after [emoji41]

How much you after [emoji41]

I paid £200 plus courier fees from @Martin. A few months ago and there still sat in the boxes so I'd like to recover as much if not all of it back really

 

[Gus]

Hi Dan,
Im in the process of sorting my trophy spoiler out. I was looking at how the brake light attaches to the spoiler and dont know how best to fix it to the spoiler. How did you do yours? Was it just bonded or did you screw it on?
Need help asap if poss as its going in for spraying tomorrow.
BTW, you have no idea how many spray shops turned it down due to what it is made of ! finally found one that said it wouldnt be a problem, we shall see !

 

[dann2707]

Excellent stuff. We need more people like that in the industry.

Right result mate :smile:

Tell me about it man. It was originally going to cost £20 to weld a new hanger on which I thought was ridiculously cheap as it was but we found all the other issues with it. So many black areas around the "welds" I wish I had taken some pics tbh

Sounds good, might need him to have a look at mine as im sure something's not right with how raspy it sounds.

I'd give it a go man he'll make sure it's perfect.

I am mate yeah, not sure about doing track time though. Definitely camping though

That would have been perfect but I've got some TD 1.2's on the way now Cheers though!

How much you after [emoji41]

 

[dann2707]

Ooooh nearly forgot a piccy snap.

I cleaned the interior and exterior today. Tempted to start machine polishing it soon though but it's just so f**king boring!

Spoiler looks like a gash fitment there. Might go for a genuine one if I find one and the price is right.

Also I tried pre ordering the corbeau club sports from the cheapest site but it won't let you and the other where you can pre order is another £30 more so screw that. Coming in stock at the end of June.

 

[Jekyll]

In that space time you'll be able to get some lovely OZ f1's or Speedline 2118's

Already got some team dynamic 1.2s on the way from pompy

 

[Jekyll]

Ah yes I remember! It's late, I'm tired

 

[JoeMarano]

Wouldnt worry about the spoiler as all the cup ones ive seen look naff fit too. Im actually pleased I put my standard one on.

 

[JD_RS172]

No worries bud. Think I've got a guy interested in them now. Time to find some willy wheels for the phase 1.

 

[Matthew]

You considered doing your A pillars in alacantara? Would finish the interior off nicely. Cheap mod too.

 

[Ashh]

Off to see a AB 182 FF this evening, high possibility I will be driving it home.
This thread has provided me with a lot of inspiration. Yours looks sublime at the mo'!
(followed you on instagram so I could stalk you more)

Don't do it man, don't think it'll suit the car too much:

hehe

That's a really good shout that mate! I tried spraying them before but it all flaked off last year but every car i've tried wrapping the pillars in fabric and it has just bubbled underneath or it peels off in the sun. Going to look into it now though as I must be doing something wrong!

Cheers dude.

No need for stalking imo, from the picture of yourself in your avatar you look like the kind of guy Dan would hang around with.
