Tom Frankland (T3OMF) Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Just stuck the Carbon Cycle Wing to the big head fixing bolt things, then just need to fibre glass them on properly after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciprian Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I've sent my car to SteveD for chassis work. Does it count ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark (smokey mow) Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'd say that counts as an upgrade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2rrr Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Finally got my mud flaps on today now that the bl**dy decorating is sort of done . Well more for flicked up stones and debris than mud/rain. Now to find out about the NW semi final Liverpool/Everton then watch the Grand Prix and Grand National busy day planned. Next job to find my ECU shift light wire and wire in a cut out indicator, just in case I get towards max revs hee hee . These cars drive you mental, back to a daft teenager sometimes ( no disrespect meant or intended to teenagers ) Feel like a beer already mmmmmm Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frag68 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Got a new silencer fitted at last. It is a 6 inch one and only 14 inch long all welded on a 2.25inch stainless tube. Cruising along its quieter than the standard Westfield one, but at higher revs its a lot noisier. Had a late night dash up the motorway last night which confirmed this. It looks the business though and has a lovely deep burble to it on the over run. Had the silencer for a while and £60 got all the welding and pipe work done. Really chuffed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Frankland (T3OMF) Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Tom, You need to upgrade your garage walls with some paint, stops all the dust settling on the car. Not wasting money on paint, when it can be sent on the car....... Plus we have 2 dogs, so in my garage you get dust, dog hair and stuff the wife dumps in there :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the paint. cheap or left over emulsion is plenty good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
