no real progress to report. been working / ill.

got the exhaust back, repaired and a flexy added to the decat pipe.

also got the head back. Skim and clean for £30 - can't complain really eh.

edit: ordered some exhaust wrap too the other night. should be here tomorrow.

no massive progress, i've had plague and its been christmas..

things like this are getting silly though eh

i thought i'd best see if the MPI setup actually fits.

no..

but doesn't it look fast?

i had a suspect master cylinder, so out came that - got distracted before refitting it though

stripped some more bits out, ECU, fuel canister

decieded that my lovely coated arms needed lovely painted rear cross member to go with them, so did that

also i looked at my SPI manifold compared to a standard one. hmm

tally ho!

looks good arc or fast as you say isnt there any way of turning that pipe sideways at all therefore eliminating that problem? its coolant inlet is it not?

i got mine off mckrich. theres not a lot on an arm to fail really. was it just bushes on yours. they're easy enough to change if u can get the old ones out.

done a bit tonight

made the car float

then took the wishbones, arb, brakes etc off the front

then put the new ones on

old ones both seemed to be bent. will have a better look later. got miffed off with being covered in cv grease.

 

[Phoenix3dfx225]

what seemed bent? the discs, or the arms? assuming the arms after hitting the kerb months ago

 

[arc]

the arms, duh. they both seemed bent the same though

 

[T.E.D. Jordan]

Yeh i can see what you mean on them beaing bent, i think your new ones are too, they also seem to have a series of holes in too......

was my christmas present and have just been told "it needs the rear arms doing as they failed the MOT because of them and i cant be aresed to do it so thats why im getting rid" so its now sitting on my drive :devil: i am assuming/hopeing its just worn bushes as its a 95 mk1 car and as far as i know there isnt usually anything else that goes wrong with them?

any idea where i can get the bushes from i know its gotta be ployflex as you cant get the replacement standards can you?

and your progress is looking good the blue arms look pretty sweet and the polyflex bushes made a major difference to my mates mini so they alone will be worth the effort for you, any progress on that inlet manifold problem?
