hi guys thought id post too let you know whats happenin. Well as u no my head gasket did go and cost me £320. I rang round other garages to see if i could get a lower price but to my suprise this was actually cheaper than any other garage. Now since this my first little car and know very little about it or any cars :p. I was lookin through all the service history ive found out that the previous 2 owners which are woman ;) looked after this car very very well. i added all the recipts up £1200 i didt have the heart to scrap her or sell her she precious (bitten by FIAT BUG :cool: mwwhahha) so i thought id do my bit for her (sophie) and give her a new head gasket(she needed skimming twice and a little welding found crack) aswell slaped my MKII Turbo Abirth Alloys on. And i must say i absoultey over the moon (y) with the way she sounds my temp not hitting max any more and that loud but lovley fan is working now she even has a little whistle to her so i thought 2 me self dont really need a K&N bolt on just stick with my K&N element and either get a Uno Turbo exhaust or a 3" uni exhaust .Now this bad point (n) the spacers are far to fat according to the garage and i think they right ive had them balanced to.but shes vibrating. (70mph tiny bit 80mph a hell of a lot) really cant drive like this does anybody no the proper spacer measurement be greatful. She flew through her M.O.T which i was suprised now my engine sweet and juicy nxt body not lookin 2 do anything major since she only 1.0mambo all i need is a Front bumper (white) and a new drivers (White) door since dirty rust on it and the person before me banged :bang: the car on drivers door and ready for this this POLLYFILLER that's what he filled the dent with and sprayed over it and ugly T-cut :eek: what a donut :p so that will be comin off me and me bro will go hunting down brakers yards and scrappy neva no might find a bargin bit gold digging neva hurt no one (grab ya shovles boys) :D. For sounds which if hooking up next week just having a kenwood tape head set and kenwood 6-9 and new front speakers since i chucked the old ones away since they were hamared. well that will do thank you for reading will try hard as possible to get some pics up

Well as you know my head gasket did go and cost me £320. I rang round other garages to see if i could get a lower price, but to my suprise this was actually cheaper than any other garage. Now since this my first little car and know very little about it (or any cars :p ) I was lookin through all the service history and i've found out that the previous 2 owners were women and looked after this car very very well. i added up all the recipts up £1200, so i didn't have the heart to scrap her or sell her. (bitten by the FIAT BUG :cool: mwwhahha)

So i thought id do my bit for her (sophie) and give her a new head gasket (she needed skimming twice and a little welding in a crack) aswell as put on my MKII Turbo Abarth Alloys on.

And i must say i'm absolutey over the moon (y) with the way she sounds. My temperature guage is not hitting max any more and that loud but lovley fan is working now. She even has a little whistle to her so i thought to myself "dont really need a K&N bolt on", will just stick with my K&N element and either get a Uno Turbo exhaust or a 3" universal exhaust.

Now this bad point (n) the spacers are far to fat according to the garage and i think they're right. Ive had them balanced, but shes vibrating. (at 70mph tiny bit, at 80mph a hell of a lot) really cant drive like this. Does anybody know the proper spacer measurement, i'll be greatful? She flew through her M.O.T which i was suprised.

Now my engine is sweet and juicy, next to the body - not looking to do anything major since shes only a 1.0 mambo. All i need is a Front bumper (white) and a new drivers (White) door since dirty rust is on it where the person before me banged :bang: the car on drivers door. Ive got ready for this - its been POLLYFILLER'd - that's what he filled the dent with and sprayed over it and ugly T-cut :eek: what a donut :p. So that will be coming off and me and my brother will go hunting down breakers yards and scrappers, never know i might find a bargin - bit gold digging never hurt no-one! (grab ya shovels boys :D )

For sounds (which if hooking up next week) just having a kenwood tape head set and kenwood 6x9's, and new front speakers since i chucked the old ones away since they were damaged.

well that will do, thank you for reading. Will try hard as possible to get some pics up soon.

Ok, that should make it clearer for the Non-English members :)
