dann2707 Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I have decent tyres on the rear, shit and unmatched ones on the front. I prefer oversteer to understeer. Would you recommend me swapping them over? Got an update later too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartMini Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Stripped the front end of my car down today, removed the front fan. Theres a coil of wire, which plugs in near the fan, am i right in saying its some sort of ambient temperature sensor? and for what purpose?

Greetings Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Seen a lot of mental driving in rally vids but this tops it all. How the hell is it possible for a car to drive so quickly on loose surfaces? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia_1vVDwmkg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 My wheels are kerbed to shit thanks to the previous owner/s so i'm refurbing them this week hopefully. I'm totally undecided on what colour to do them, what do people think? I know ultimately it's my choice but throw your thoughts into the mix Anthracite would be like the cup model wheels. Standard: Anthracite: Even darker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right by my house... It's fair to say there was some rather unusable cars there. Most of the ones that extreme were on air though so not sat like that constantly. Personally I'm not into that look, but there were some nice cars. Yeah I thought you lived up that way, it's only a 5 minute drive for me but my sat nav managed to make it 25 minutes by sending me all over the place.

Mark W Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 It was as much the mis-matched wheels as anything - is that a 'look' or did they just splash out too much on that bit of parp to bang on the end of their exhaust? 25mins is impressive though!

Boumsong Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 There has previously been talk of an engine swap. I guess this could accelerate that plan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Allen's got it - i'm gonna do a swap of some description and shelf the original engine for a proper re-build in the future when I have the time, money and inclination. Just pretty gutted, and it's now left me without any transport alongside needing to find some cash I don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Can't quote for some reason, but Mark: It was only that front wheel that mismatched, I guess he hit a pot hole or got a flat or something... Yeah 25 minutes was impressive, considering it was only about 4 roads away from my place and it took me in to the centre of Bristol and back out again (I've never been to Avonmeads before so wasn't aware of how easy it is to get there!)
