Looks tidy! It\'s nice to still see some EGi\'s around

Whats it like condition wise? It looks pretty solid from the pictures!

dthebuk · December 07, 2010, 08:21:32 PM

Im here mate. No FC though

Nice car that. Does it still sound absolutely ridiculous?

Also did james fix the problem with one of the front shock bolts? Was coming loose every now and then, tbh if its still a problem im sure he would have let you know about it!

Taking this to the next rotorstock i hope?

Yeah, it\'s pretty solid, the drivers side sills have been pushed right up but no biggy... All of the major rust has been repaired, just patches here and there, but yeah, uber solid!

Where is it? Did you forget where you parked it again!? Lol

It\'s got a single exit powerflow exhaust now but still sounds good, haven\'t redlined it yet but it\'s not too loud and not too quiet.

He didn\'t say anything about the bolt, any idea which one it is? I\'ll keep an eye on it.

Most definitely going rotorstock, if I have the funds free that is lol

How come? You gone all girly on us since you left!

Skifledanabit · December 07, 2010, 10:19:25 PM

Lol, yeah, it\'s called fwditis

dthebuk · December 07, 2010, 11:07:47 PM

haha, Nah i traded it for a CA18 powered capri. The suspension was doing my nut tbh.

Havn\'t redlined it? get out!!!

Um yea. It was one of 4 bolts on the front shocks which go through the hub. Theres 2 per shock. This was a long time ago mind

Good to have you back man, weld that diff up asap!

Skifledanabit · December 07, 2010, 11:22:40 PM

I think it already is! I\'m getting juddering when turning at slow speeds, especially when reversing at slow speeds

But I\'ll check that suspension out just to check

dthebuk · December 07, 2010, 11:48:44 PM

Should be pretty obvious mate! its not something you can really miss!

Cool, i have a feeling it was the passenger side but theres just as much chance it being the driver side

Skifledanabit · December 08, 2010, 01:58:58 AM

well... I\'ve never had a welded diff before, how else can I tell apart from the juddering and bumping at low turning speeds?

dthebuk · December 08, 2010, 08:23:04 AM

You should be able to hear the tyres skidding when your turn at low speed. It should need a lot more throttle when turning at low speed as the diff acts like a brake.

If its just a slight judder its likely to be something else. Chances are, if you\'ve got a welder in there, you\'ll know about it

Brett · December 09, 2010, 09:57:09 AM

Oi! James, when are you going to post some pics of the Capri?

dthebuk · December 09, 2010, 02:28:20 PM

Appologies for the Hijack!

Skifledanabit · December 09, 2010, 05:14:46 PM

Lol, its ok... I\'ll have to get you back at some point though...

Nice mkIII, what\'s it pushing?

dthebuk · December 09, 2010, 07:49:28 PM

er well its a CA18 running standard boost so i guess aroun 180ish.

Was gunna go for an s14 turbo and about a bar of boost which would put it at 28ish but ive decided to sell.

Hows the FC? Faster than your old one?

Yep he\'s right, if you have a welded diff you will know about it,

The tyres will scrub on the smallest of steering lock, I remember many years ago not being able to afford a slipper diff and welding a few up, hell you can\'t even push the thing along unless the wheels are dead straight,

As said if you have a welded diff you will know about it
