hose couldve gone hard over time, i'd try changing the hose first

Yeah i thought about doing a pgce but i just aren't keen on the thought of being a teacher. kids annoy me and i swear alot.... lol massive grants off the government for people to teach physics mind...

I have a foundation degree in Science that i got when i was 19 then i went on to study quantum physics and left uni with a BSc(Hons) 2:1 I have worked for the MOD since but not on a lot of money I enjoy the job i'm doing now, I control the movement and issue of Bowman (radio) equipment on the vehicles at the defence school of transport. I also work alongside the Arms Cpl who looks after the armoury. So basically i get to issue and account for the SA80's, LSW's, Pistols and bayonets and magazines which is pretty cool. But i don't get paid a fortune and i'm not using my degree. Feel like i should be looking for something that utilises my degree so i can earn a lot more money but there's just nothing around east yorkshire and i don't want to relocate

Lol thanks guys. Can officially say i've done everything myself, from the spraying to the stripping/rebuilding. The only thing i can't do is the drive shafts but maybe i haven't got angry enough with them yet lol. If you look on the shelf behind it in the pics Colin I have a massive collection of headlights/fog lights/tail lights/indicators. I have a totally clear set that came with it, and a clear/orange set. going to wire in amber corners so i'll see which set looks best!

About time i did another update and threw some pics up on here! sprayed the rocker cover and fuel rail with some candy pink i had left over Engine went in! Went in ok, had a bit of trouble getting the shafts in the box properly, Sam showed me how to do them though so i know now . Went about plugging the loom back in and fitting the few bits like power steering pump etc. No mega dramas just remembering what went where and finding the right bolts haha Had to swap the thermostat housings, after about an hour of trying to figure out where a load of the plugs went... haha. it was a glanza engine so the gt loom had different plugs. old and new Tidied up some of the injector loom. Got rid of the crappy plastic shield so i could tuck the wires a bit. Bit of a birds nest to start with haha! Had to move the cars around in the unit so i could drag the glanza back in. Was an effort because it had no steering wheel fitted at this point haha, managed it though. got a few sneaky snaps while it was out of the bay. The front bumper is just rested on as i haven't got round to fitting it properly just yet. didn't see the point until the intercooler etc was all on. Picked up ANOTHER tongs hybrid up along with a set of trd coilovers from a local lad so decided to send off the tongs to liam at midland turbos for a rebuild. Best way forward with CT9's i think- spend as much if not more replacing them 2/3 times a year than just getting them rebuilt. AMAZING service and fast too! 110% recommend them! Came back looking brand new, very pleased and can't wait to get it spooling haha And finally a wee pic of the intercooler, radiator and everything else fitted with the bumper sitting on (still not mounted up) EEEEEEEE!!!!!!! i've fitted a HKS hi power silent too. Took the wepr power up kit off my dead glanza for now as it's literally only done about 300 miles inbetween bottom end failures haha. Just need to fit the rear fog, fill with fluids and get the brakes bled up and i can fire it up. Need to nip up the bottom pulley too. Hoping to have her in for MOT next week all being well Getting excited now!

is the arm for the float in the tank seized/stuck?

I think that's the worst. When it's something really simple but it takes forever to realise.

Agreed^^^ Drop it back in the hub and put the nut back on a few turns. Then spanner it off.

Oh at least when it hit me in the face it was just dirty and not full of oil! Haha could do with the floor in my lock up re levelling though! Haha

Did another good one yesterday. Was taking the sump off yet another knackered engine in the Glanza. All the bolts were out so off I go to pry it off. They're usually right to come off and the sandwich plate sort of holds them up. Not this time. One wiggle and it smacked me square in the face. And it was oily. Not attractive and it actually hurt quite a bit hahaha

I do stupid stuff all the time and then I get so annoyed with myself. Spent ages trying to figure out what a load of plugs were for after fitting a Glanza engine to my red GT and after an hour I realised the thermostat housings were totally different... Hammering the shit out of a track rod end to pop it up out of the hub to then realise of not taken off the 17mm nut... I could go on forever about stuff I've done while I've been trying to paint things... Like touching wet paint like a total idiot. Butterflies landing on wet paint, not cleaning a gun properly and primer spaffing all over in the clear. Forgetting to turn the compressor on. Etc etc

You could've took pic after I'd primed them properly... Lol

forgot to mention, it's the sunday i'll be down. feel free to come over and say hi if anyone sees me!

i had this before breifly. turns out the speedo cable had popped out of the back of the clocks slightly. was still getting a reading on the clocks as normal but it was not quite clicked in...

just paid for me and sam

I'm taking my Advance, parking up with some friends b ut won't be an actual stand i don't think...

lol cheers dude. I do remember something about it becoming a discountinued part but i've always had massive love for the GI bonnet.

Do you have a part number phil?

Yeah do enjoy a gunmetal colour on a starlet. Audi have some good gunmetal colours.

Looking for a pair of MK3 GT indicators. Colour doesn't matter in the slightest but i need them to be in good condition- no scratches and no snpped brackets/locators. Thanks!

I don't know if the wishbones are a different shape or not, no idea on that one :/ But i'd be tempted to say that the FARB is catching. Worth checking... i hate annoying knocks

wishbone bushes? I assume you have uprated ones but worth checking with a pry bar maybe?

I don't know exactly but it's more complicated than assuming displacement by going from boost pressure. Temperature plays a big part too. The ideal gas law is; PV=nRT where P= Pressure, V= volume, n=amount of substance (ie moles of air/fuel mix), R=ideal gas constant, T=temperatire I assume that the tuning industry will use something completely different, but at uni this is how I would've worked it out, by rearranging for Volume... V=nRT/P Realistically you probably wouldn't use that for an engine as it's not ideal circumstances, but it just shows that temperature plays a part...

I think if you take your time and do everything properly it will be a quality build. A chance to get rid of some bodges and sort some issues out maybe...
