Just started first year of motorsport engineering did you do your Fd at derby or somewhere else?

HAHA small world! what course you on?

fitted a digital tacho in mine mate, it came with instructions. but its pretty straight forward. one wire to earth, one to the dizzy and one to run off an ignition feed (i used the stereo). could be different depending and what tacho you go for. you can also fit dials from an sr but thats more expensive and more work to swap over. hope that helps buddy Dan.

looked pretty mint! didnt get a proper look, was late for uni. but defiinitely livesports spoiler, black rims and bonnet. reg was S120 something. Dan.

right so have decided that i am going to be converting my sportif to 4efte towards the end of the year once im at uni and wont be needing my car daily. have tried reading up about best ways to do it etc but cant seem to find any consise or definate answers. from what i understand theres 2 ways to do it: 1- complete engine and dash loom from turbs into n/a 2- engine loom from turbs spliced into dash loom of n/a would prefer to do the 2nd option but will have to see. what sort of a job is it to splice the looms yourself/how much would it cost to get it done? does it make much difference if us

everyone has got a mate (or a few) that will always sort them out a DEAL. at the moment i am particularly happy that one of my pals is the manager of my local mcdonalds! bap bap! so i go in to get a bit of munch after a pretty hectic night at an illrgal rave under some canal bridges. and i order a ''big mac meal". i end up getting a big mac, quarter pounder, double cheesy b, 2 large chips, crunchie mcflurry and a large coke. all for £4.38! sorted! this is not a threaad to say which car part you got a discount on but what other shite have peeps got connections to???? Dan.

cheers pal really happy with the way its looking atm. just need some more powaaah Dan.

righty ho. so i bought a spoiler earlier this week (thanks to 'theminiguru' for that ) and had it sitting around for a few days while i decided what i was going to do with it. was contemplating getting it painted caribbean blue or leaving it white to match the wheels. but came home 'slightly' inebriated a fews nights back and thought fack it ill sticker bomb it and see how it looks. so after a fair few hours of stickering i had it completed and got it fitted. i think it looks rather sexual i know it wont be to everyones taste but i didnt do it to please them. once i had the spoiler done i ha

x2 bought a spoiler from him a few days ago. swift transaction, no problems, decent price, arrived next day. and i definitely nearly lost my temper trying to get all the packaging off! top lad! ;)

got into work this morning and about 5 minutes later a bloke i work with walked in limping really badly. so i asked him what he'd done. his response was "just tripped over youre fucking exhaust!". was taking the piss but ye it does stick out 'abit' far. only left it sticking out that far because i was in a rush to get some where and the sleeve that goes from the box to the exhaust was FT so just got it on a bit and clamped it for now. think i will have to cut the sleeve abit more and stretch it out slightly so it goes on further. Dan.

despite writing this out 3 times now and my farckin laptop deciding to restart itself, i will persevere! sooo another few things to update. firstly i recieved my wind deflectors yesterday (not genuine but pffft) so got them fitted straight away. they are pretty subtle but i think they add a lil sum summin, might sticker bomb them next week to see how that looks before: after: quick snap i took tonight of my xenons fitted, cant really see the blueness in the pic but they look pretty schweet and work a treat and finally i fitted my new backbox which i got last week from mij exhaust

small update. bought some exhaust wrap the other day and it arrived this morning so thought id whack it on after work. i bought 10m x 50mm thinking it would be enough but i only had abit left after i had done the downpipe and de-cat pipe so will have to get some more to wrap it all the way to the backbox. i read up about how to do it and some people were saying to overlap 25% every wrap and some said 50% so went with 50% just to be safe. have also bought a new backbox as my current one has a hole in the side but need to get a clamp for it and weld a hanger bracket on before i can fit it. als

haha its got presence at least cant wait till its on the road to confuse people. tbf it should be a fairly decent sleeper in a kindof double bluff way. people will notice it but probably think its just a 998 with a cherry bomb LOL!

cheers mate

right. been meaning to do this for ages but never got round to doing it, so here goes. this was a project we did at work last year. took 7 months to the day to complete it (bearing in mind it was only worked on mostly out of hours). dont know the exact spec of the uno as i dont know too much about their setup and all the engine work was done by previous owner. -ported & polished head -uprated turbo (not sure which) -S/S manifold -full custom 2.5" S/S exhaust including decat -larger front mount intercooler -on lowering springs all round, 45mm i think -drilled and grooved disks all round -

need to replace one of my wishbones on my n/a, just wondering if glanza ones would fit (are they the same)? any help would be appreciated Dan.

saw it coming out of tescos at lunch time. looked pretty standard, speedlines, tte spoiler and exhaust. bloke was wearing a dappy hat Dan.

thanks for the comments i agree sparky it did look better with the black rims, but im growing to like the white ones. and i got a good deal on the swap so not too fussed. not too many plans for it atm as im skint but think im gunna raise the bonnet and get a custom s/s sexhaust at some stage. oh and ive got some purple rim tape to put on, i bought it ages ago but couldnt put it on my old wheels as they had "team dynamcis motorsport" round the outer lip. on the look out for a rolla mani aswell if anyone knows one for sale? Dan.

never disputed that mate Dan.

just had one of these in at work this week, was silver on an 05 plate. only done just over 60k, was suprised at how pokey it was being that it was the first time i had driven one. but an absolute MARE to work on. both back back boxes were rusted through, one hanger had snapped off one side and the rear breaks seem to be designed by stevie wonder. wouldnt bother with one over a glanza personally! Dan.

UPDATE: basically ive got new wheels. if you look in the first post in the first picture ive swapped wheels off that mini. when we did that mini project at work about 6 months ago (mini pickup body lengthened and widened on-top of a beastly fiat uno turbo, thread to come about that!) i told my boss that it needed black wheels since our general colour scheme at work is black and orange. he didnt agree and kept the white wheels. today however he said "i reckon the pickup would look good with black wheels, why dont you put yours on so i can have a look". so i swapped the wheels over, and instant

Been a while so thought i would update with a few little bits ive done, nothing major! firstly it was annoying not having a rev gauge and after reading up abit about fitting paseo or glanza dials, it seemed a right mishwarrn! so decided to just get a digital tacho and save the hassle. Found it on fleebay and with the mount was only about 20 quid. really easy to wire in and works a treat will clean up the wiring when i can be arsed. next, i was given two induction cones by a mate for free. they were red originally and pretty scratched etc so i wasnt planning on doing anything with them.

enzo, if you're out there pal. let me know if you can sort driveshafts. Dan.

could get one from a scrappy but would rather new ones, for peace of mind rather than anything. im guessing idrees would would only be able to sort second hand? Dan.
