  1. Having trouble finding the correct threaded Buddy Club knob so I decided to make a slightly more permanent knob out of nylon. Made it bigger than the wooden one and a bit shorter. Really like it actually. Got more weight to it and still gives good leverage....could be a keeper. Hard to see from the photo but there are 3 shallow grooves at the top and 2 larger ones at the bottom. Also dipped my fangs last night: I dipped my fangs and rear valance, I found that the lower corners near the grill started to lift/bubble, so I tried again this time prepping it better but got the same result and had to remove it, let me know how it goes
  2. Pure filth Pure filth battery cover needs a wipe that is awesome
  3. +1 I realise a lot of the time the porsche, jag comments are tongue in cheek but it does get a bit boring. You don't expect to join a forum to get you're car slagged at every opportunity Not just me then? And there I was thinking I am just being miserable!! not just you but I didn't say I'm not miserable

  5. +1 iirc the crankshaft pulley is on a keyway and shouldn't be able to vary position !
  6. Agree with that, the attitude given off from the ad doesn't suggest a well cared for car tbh
  7. Is it just the nose that has had a repair ? To fit the pulley ? Would still need to be bang on centre otherwise the pulley will wobble like a fat bird on the waltzers If that's the case and the pulley is running true and the weld is good , what is the issue ?
  8. Think I read this wrong, I thought the crank had a repair inside the engine, couldn't understand how he had seen that,
  9. i can't remember the size on the 350 but the 370 is 19" and 21"
  10. off topic but ...great looking car
  11. I haven't used them but I've read good reviews on the Bosch aero twin wipers
  12. Did you need a camber and toe kit ? is the ride quality much different ? why did you go for ark ? Looks
  13. Ive heard of, and probably done a lot of dodgy things myself in my time, but ive never heard of anyone cutting a crank up then rewelding it. Thats pretty mental. I dont think its actually possible, having come from CA engines which @*!# their big ends every 20 minutes I know that even a light score can cause issues, a total reweld is never going to be balanced again. I can see that perhaps the very front part where the pulley attaches might have been grafted on, but like I say, if its not thrown a shell within 5 seconds of starting its probably not so much of a bodge job as you think I'd be amazed if you could weld and retain balance, if you could the cost would outweigh a new crank ? I would expect it take shake the engine to pieces I think it warrants further investigation, is it possible he has got it wrong ? Crap news mate
  14. From that angle the shape reminds of an original lotus Europa I would guess hybrid ??
  15. Autoexpress said - Heard they are supercharging and turbo charging but they have gone on a group buy with octet and may sell the car before the parts are delivered
  16. you could drive through a library without any concerns
  17. I told Andy he would like it, I knew you would be made up with it Led's next
  18. Well, how are you liking it luke ? How does it compare to the 350 ?
  19. That's where I bought mine
  20. oem exhaust is worth nothing really, no demand and not very good, I would definitely change it over How many miles ? age ? of the stillen, location always helps to save on hassle of p&p sned a price by pm or put it in the "for sale" forum
