Lol so now we know where your attention is. Not on my car... On joes top half... Typical.

Sorry jen.. Not got enough boost for my taste or note wheels...
 
@Frank sounds interesting :p
of course you wouldn't condone the boys modding my car without prior consent?
besides, I'm pretty sure my insurer wouldn't want me to add boost to my lil' turbo ^_^

My dad and I have a feeling that our Almera 2.2 dci SXE has a chip/tuning box
...but we can't be sure as there was no info/recipts to that effect and I can't find a blog or any reference to her on the Almera club forums... (she has their club sticker on the boot lid)

Yeah that's true actually. but shut up. I shall have more boost!

Sure you will ;)

ETA: @frank ....there are no prices, do you know how much the 'Mera guys paid...roughly? :oops:

ETA2: Although I'm quite happy having twice the torque my mother has, making it nearly 3 times and possibly getting 103 hp would shut my Audi owning (not driving 'cause it's dead ) brother up LOL
 
Started on the Mani clean up and re weld some bits. Then vht . doubt the paint will last.

I'd take a grinder to some of those welds, just to check those little pits in the surface isn't an absence penetration (lambda boss on particular could probably do with some abrasive based interogation).
 
Noodles and then clean down engine and gear bix to be sprayed.. My god.. Progress ... So foreign... Do I go black? black rocker cover and silver engine. black gearbox and engine? Black everything? Bahhhhh

Ahh that reminds me I still need my injectors checked. Shizza

I saw someone somewhere (think it was a moto guzzi forum) rigged a way of causing the injectors to open and close and sat them all in a bowl of injector cleaner and left them going for an hour or so. It may have involved the loom partly assembled out of the car and an old desk fan...
Edit: Ahh no, it involved a car battery and an electric drill

Lol lol that's a bit too clever. I want to get them checked. No point risking the engine eh?
 
yours dont need grinding chris, its only surface rust eh, mine were scored and deep pitted.
and i mounted them on a hub so that they rotated while grinding :)
 
I remember the plan was grey car, black engine bay, purple rocker cover :p

However, if you still have some left, didn't you paint the callipers a fantastic shade of blue? ;)

My my... Jen, great minds think alike! Blue is up for grabs on this one. Stay turned in a min I will send a picture which is quite amazing. Still thinking I will give them both a lick of paint and laquer for good measure.
