  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. +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

  4. +1 iirc the crankshaft pulley is on a keyway and shouldn't be able to vary position !
  5. Agree with that, the attitude given off from the ad doesn't suggest a well cared for car tbh
  6. 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 ?
  7. Think I read this wrong, I thought the crank had a repair inside the engine, couldn't understand how he had seen that,
  8. i can't remember the size on the 350 but the 370 is 19" and 21"
  9. off topic but ...great looking car
  10. I haven't used them but I've read good reviews on the Bosch aero twin wipers
  11. Did you need a camber and toe kit ? is the ride quality much different ? why did you go for ark ? Looks
  12. 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
  13. From that angle the shape reminds of an original lotus Europa I would guess hybrid ??
  14. 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
  15. you could drive through a library without any concerns
  16. I told Andy he would like it, I knew you would be made up with it Led's next
  17. Well, how are you liking it luke ? How does it compare to the 350 ?
  18. 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
