AlexW's Driveway Antics :)



  Many.
Lots has happend, but very little pics..

Firstly, as above I fixed RyG's 172. Driveshaft replacement, reprogramming UCH (Auto lights, Auto Wipers and headlight washers didn't work) and airbag lights programming off, plus brake fluid change, pedal is much better now!

Then onto ventura's Ph1.
I stripped off the final of the blue painted crap, and checked the cam timing (luckily its correct!)

Next up is fixing the Black DCi, cleaning Robs Ph1 and doing Bedford this Friday!
 
  Many.
Finally got the Black 80 done!

Got some 80 Boost pipes on ebay, I had stole various bits for my DCi. Got a bargain at £40 posted for this lot!
00C4CF14-6AFE-4750-90B0-E1B59627A9F1_zpsmb6aoyhu.jpg


Put some recon injectors from eBay in it (£280 posted!), and it fired up no problem. Did a few miles in it, fitted some new Rainsport 3's and then handed it over to my mother.

Then on a high from that, I got on with the Lagunna at last.

I pulled this heavy PK6 b*****d out.

Going to swap the flywheel to my solid conversion one, and see how far I get. I refused to remove the subframe, so getting the box out was a b*****d!
 
  Many.
Felt like getting some more done...

Got the flywheel off, comparison between Dual Mass and Single mass.

Whipped the cat off too, ideal for gutting.

Then checked out the odd feeling steering on the Black DCi...

These look bloody old, and had massive amounts of play.

Shiney new ones fitted, Looks like the Inners were done not that long ago too! Will get the tracking done tomorrow.

I do laugh at how small these standard brakes are
BCC35364-A3C7-4C14-824C-53766722715D_zpscawvvt16.jpg


Drives much better now.
 
  Many.
I might. I feel like some minor mods, like a colour coded spoiler, colour coded side strips, Ph3 front bumper, sport steering wheel. We'll see.
 
  Many.
Bit of an update..

Recently rode a very loud motorbike, and didn't die...
6D8115AD-38D2-47F7-BB8D-E633F5F9C6EF_zpsxeewbifv.jpg


Took the drivers seat out to hoover everything and remove the little spacers under the seat to get it a bit lower.
D615FE05-76E1-4E20-A7AE-35A85756719A_zpsumnfjk3o.jpg


Vacuumed the whole interior, wet vac'd the seats and floor mats, Will give it another going over before Wales in a couple of weeks.

Then changed the rear shocks, Bought the new ones ages ago but been too busy.
AAAC5C9F-BBA6-4A9B-B042-C1A285397C6F_zpspaipfiv5.jpg


Dug out a sport carpet that I've had for ages but haven't had time to clean, or fit. Its so dirty and manky, even myself, as a dirty f**ker didn't want to touch it.

Pressure washed that, then run out of time and haven't touched it since, still needs another deep clean.

At the same time, heres how dirty my car was...

Got a list of stuff to do before Llandow (and the rest of my Welsh adventure)....

Fix aircon
Change N/S driveshaft
Fit sport carpet (not a major requirement tho)
Buy spare set of brake pads
Fit new tyres to track wheels
Service (Only needs oil, filter and fuel filter)
Straighten exhaust
Fix Cruise Control

Looking forward to it though.

In other news, I've been working on f**king loads of Clios recently, but not taken any pics, besides this single picture, how can somebody live with this for a year?!

My cruise control switch isn't lit up, is it supposed to be then? Interesting.

I hope they aren't trendlines.
