After missing the fucking boat we're stuck in Wales til tomorrow. The UK is like Alcatraz once you're on it it just doesn't wanna let you leave lol

Well what a weekend! Still in Blunsdon at the moment so it's all not over yet as the diff bearing or wheel bearing is whining like mad so just going to ease it down to Pembroke dock this morning and nurse it home. I came very close to smashing the car to bits on a few occasions but I'm delighted I made it as far as Japfest and met all the crew. A big thanks to everyone who helped me make it to the show. All in although I haven't totted it all up exactly between ferries, accommodation, tow trucks, fuel and paying lads I must have spent over 2200 quid all in getting the car to Japfest. Night

45 cans of red bull on the wall...

Lads will I still be ale to get on a stand even if I'm a tad late? I know it's a severe pain in the hole for someone to have to come out to me but by god I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown with this car now lol

Right lads who cursed me with a voodoo doll this week? come on admit it!? Yaristurbo im looking at you... haha On a serious not we just arrived near Castle Coombe and checked into a hotel. The only problem is... The car is still in Pembroke in Wales...BUT Fear not fellow Starlet addicts... My mate will be landing in Holyhead at 12:20pm with a new rear half shaft from my red ep85. I paid for his ferry for him and his girlfriend so have the beers on tap when we arrive. He's gotta drive 4 hours to me and then we have to head to Pembroke probably another 2 hours odd drive and fit the shaft and t

Well guys I'm on the boat now so have no internet on my phone I'm on a shitty pay as you go computer here lol Been on the road since late last night, drove down through Ireland and stayed overnight to catch the ferry across to Pembroke in Wales this morning. Car seemed to be driving fine apart from a couple of small noises but this morning I came sideways out of a junction near the boat and I heard a bang then clunk, clunk, clunk... I thought I had snapped another halfshaft so jacked it up under the rear axle and checked both back wheels for play and there was none. I made sure everyth

Lads how bad is it going into Castle Combe? Any big ramps or holes that I should be worried about? Just I planned on dropping the Coilovers low on arrival in the UK
-
Was supposed to give it to my valeter for 4 days so he could do a full detail on it... It will be lucky if it gets a car wash before we leave

Got a bit more done but for everything I got done I seemed to run into more hassle with stuff not fitting... :/ Fitted the new alloy power steering reservoir and replaced the OEM clips with proper jubilee clips as the standard clips weren't gripping the hoses tight enough... I bought brand new blue Samco hosing and ran it from the alloy half rad to the expansion bottle. I used a few black plastic OEM clips off other Starlets to pin it neatly to the front panel... In went a new Cusco oil catch can and I made up some braided lines to suit it... So that's what went right today... Here

It's just one thing after another for me :/

I cut too much off it at the beginning. Had a root around the shed and found another adjustable Panhard rod with rose jointed ends but I couldn't find the tapered inserts to fit it so I had to cut and extend the other one again... I'm going to make up another one when I'm home from Japfest UK but it will do for now.
-
Those measurements were wrong lads but I got it in the end. This is how the car sits with the coilovers adjusted to their lowest point. They might settle down a tad more but the only way of getting it any lower now would be to remove one of the locking rings are use a shorter spring. The front coilovers still need to be dropped more but they are set quite high at the minute so I can get the car onto the boat. I will adjust them down on arrival in the UK.
-
See I'm reading that you need to remove 70-95mm from the Panhard rod but is that from the standard ep85 Panhard rod or the Glanza / GT adjustable one? Because the Glanza / GT one is a lot longer (70mm plus). I took 70mm off the standard ep85 Panhard rod and then cut my adjustable one down to the same size but now I am wondering is this too short?
-
Yeah I got an ep85 specific drivers rail but I still need a passenger side. Did you cut 70mm off the standard one or off the adjustable Panhard rod shorty?

Ignore the dirt and dust on it and there's black running out of the window rubbers but that's just from lying up a good wash again and it will be perfect -
