Nanglebadger Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 few days ago i went out to my car outside the house to find that some wee cunt of a kid a few doors up had put 3nasty scratches on my passenger side 3/4 panel and spoiler. my dads mate informed me of a chap who can work wonders with a buffer so this mornin the car was taken to said chap for some top notch buffing!he buffed the 3 scratches at the rear, a 4th exisitng one on that panel, my bonnet and the top of the bumper where the mechanic had scuffed it when fitting the mani. i havnt had a chance to wash the paste off yet but he was able to take the worst of it away so HOPEFULLY a good few coats of coloured and clear poilsih and wax SHOULD hide the rest of it! i have to say i was HIGHLY impressed! this dude workin out of a shed with a buffer and some paste and water in the rain, pure class! i was expectin to require a respray of the panel to fix it but for £20 he was able to sort enough of it to keep me content for now and HOPEFULLY have her lookin better for JAE.still waitin on mechanic to return from holidays to get this rear disc conversion and panhard rod work done!Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Thanks gang, i thought u all knew about the rear disc conversion? my bad sorry, that was SiCaln's fault!! ;) he put the idea in my head and then i phoned Jay and got the parts 2days later! ;) ;) once they're on the discs will clean up themselves and i'lll paint the calipers black, should all be done for JAE.since fittin the cup holder the cd player i was usin died coincidentaly at the exact same time, so at the mo im runing an older XPlod model with LOTS of added BASS, its awesome! sounds like a sub with no sub!! but it doesnt play MP3 discs...so im getting my bro's cd/dvd head unit worth an absolute FORTUNE!!!! he recently got a new car and is strippin out the seicento for a project :D ;) :D (Geo and Jay know the score!) so he's loanin me his sexual head unit!!! and he thinks he's gettin it back....fool!!! nah it'll do until he needs it back, probably in a few yrs hopefully, and he may be givin me a 15"Xplod sub to use for a while too for some UBER bass for my heavy metal! i aint gonna say no to some free parts for a while now am i!!!! that would be RUDE!!!!Phil.

Mart Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Sweet man, Rear disc conversion sounds brilliant... Did you buy off the parts seperate or get a full rear axle??? Picked up an Axle a few weeks ago myself... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 hey mart, no man i didnt take the axle, didnt really need it, just got the neccessary parts for the conversion at a VERY reasonable price from Jay!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nanglebadger Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Update:Left car in yesterday and collected it today. Rear Disc conversion is done, Whiteline panhard rod is on (but still needs adjusted ) new exhaust rubbers are on (ohhhh how exciting i know) and a fresh set of EBC Green stuff front pads are on too.discs are cleanin themselves up already! :P bye bye rust!front pads still need bedded in but i can feel a nice difference from the old knackered green stuff pads (as they took a beatin with the whole seized caliper shat from lst yr).just need to paint the rear calipers now before JAE, think i'll do that on the 12th (work's closed due to the 12th which is MOST handy!)Phil.

gaz Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Looking good, got some nice bits going on, liking the carbon fibre replica interior mods mate. they look swarve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Replica my pasty white behind my amigo! as far as we could tell when fittin them they are carbon fibre over lay because u can see on the reverse side where the cf stops and its just plastic.thanks for the kind words gaz man, appreciate it. your engine bay inspired me to chat to my painter today! :P Phil.

gaz Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 No worries. Why did it inspire you to go to the painter to dude? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 because there is so much attention to detail in your bay man that when i look at mine it infuriates me that it looks so poop! urs has inspired me to make more of an effort in that department, so to begin with so parts will require some colour coding, then i'll see about some silicone etc etc etc, your work inspires me dude, simple as that! always has!Phil.

Idrees Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Nice one on the Panhard rod and rear discs Do the rear discs make much difference to the overall braking of the car? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 What Idrees asked Nice little update mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 havnt really driven her too far ye, but i could fel an improved braking feel, tho in fairness this could simply have been due to fresh pads, altho they shouldnt have been so nice so early so some of the improvement could well have been due to the rear discs! put it this way, at present i have no complaints.@Jay - thanks again for hookin me up with the parts man, mucho appreciated! pleasure doin business wit u! speaking of business wit u, i got some Glanza S injectorss in the mail today so we need to have a chat about a certain ECU! i.e. are u interested in parting with it???? send me a txt sure man if u like!Phil.
