    Ktec Induction Kit Favour?!

    Leave it with me, I’ve got one in the loft I took off my car when I purchased it. I’ll try and get up this week and should be able to give you the measurements

    Had this happen to me and it was the starter motor

    2017 Xmas Competition - Prize Giveaway ! results on page 2

    My best ever Christmas present was a remote control car with giant wheels. You could flip it over, drive it off slides and jumps, it even floated and drove on water. Awesome!

    LY200 - too loud or blow up again, taking bets!

    I’ve been sick the last few days and read the whole build thread. EPIC! Hats off to your dedication!

    I've had a nightmare with the weather this past week. Rains, Stops, Rains, Stops. I know I said I'd get pictures by Wednesday but I haven't been able to do hardly anything. I've still not fully valeted and detailed yet. Managed to clay bar half the front end. Hoping to get the whole car done...

    New.... looking for a 197

    I've just picked up a very nice R27 for 4K so I'm sure you'll have no trouble. Just be patient, look at/test drive as many as you can. Don't settle as the right one will come along Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks guys. I'm really pleased with it. To save me the embarressment of having to read the manual, how do I reset the trip counter? Sat in the car for nearly 30 minutes earlier and nothing happened. The shame :tearsofjoy:

    So I've finally managed to find one! Picked it up from Bracknell yesterday. Long old drive as some of the M4 was closed meaning a detour. Managed to negotiate smack bang on budget at 4k. Very pleased. I'll post some proper pictures on Wednesday on my day off after I've given it the full detail...

    Repairable?

    Could you repair it? Yeah sure. But those are the mounting points. If the repair is spot on then it'll be ok but that's going to be tricky. I'd look for a second hand bumper personally and get that painted. The holes for the parking sensors would be a nightmare to fill as well.

    Peeling Lacquer

    Yeah it's going to need repainting. That is the solution. Don't paint over the old paint, if its flaking now it has poor adhesion and leaving any of the old stuff behind is only going to mean its coming off again later down the line. Do once, do right

    I despise all notion of Facebook. I don't have it nor do I have anyone that can access it regularly on my behalf. Currently Checking Auto Trader, Gumtree, Pistonheads, Ebay etc If anyone has any links I can view without signing up though that'd be great. Frustrating but I WILL find a nice example.

    The search really isn't going well. I'm back from looking at car number 6 now. West Brom this time. The last few weeks I've done over £200 in fuel trekking all across the country. The words 'Mint' 'Immaculate' and 'Original' get branded around way too much. I even upped my price limit a little...

    Hello

    Lovely looking. Looks like you've picked up a gem. Just the kind of thing I'm after at the moment. Hope it treats you well!
