Alright guys,
At 5am tomorrow morning im setting off for a 250 mile, 4.5 hour trip to Huddersfield University with my mate. Now, of course I trust the reliability of my Mk1 1.3 (SR engine), had it checked over and the guy who's been my mentor since I got it still cant believe I only got it for ?250! Engines sound (needs a hot air feed for cold morning due to K&N) under-tray is almost perfect! Lucky I took it to a garage so I could check it over, found a bulge in the rear left. sorted that. So, should be all good for tomorrow morning.
Some of the gems I found.....
-BRAND NEW mintex pads and disks
-BRAND NEW braided hoses
and things like new thrust bearings, the small things that cause potential probs.
BEST OF ALL!!!!!! BLACK DIAMOND CLUTCH PLATE.........
Guy who sold it too me must have put a fair bit into it only to sell it for next to f**k all. WHY???!!!
Just really writing to say I'll be in the huddersfield area tomorrow (namely the uni) and would like to put some names to faces if anyones free.
If not, my car's nearly done, so will be ready to go to some meets with you boys, be good to meet the novaload rabble.
Cheers 8)
BTW, pics on my feature all well old, ALOT has been done since, jus havent been a**ed to update them!
