    Not really mate, managed to snap the second banjo bolt on my inlet manifold so I'm on the lookout for yet another one
    Been messing about with wheel I had laying about the garage an have decided on Clio steelies and wheel trims
    Unfortunately the rear axle is starting to show it's age with alot of rust appearing

    Few pics...









    What's everyone's thoughts on the height of the back of the car? I plan to lower the front down another 20mm.

    I think once the front is down another 20mm, it'll look quite balanced. I like the wheels, will look good black or silver but in my opinion, loose the wheel trims, steelies will look better as steelies.

    Cheers Marc, hopefully get another bolt soon then get a mechanic to check over every nut and bolt incase I have missed anything or forgot to do something since it's been so long in the making.

    I snapped one of the four manifold to exhaust bolts and am running on 3 out of 4 just now.........but if you only have the 2 then 1 out of 2 might not do even temporarily

    oops! I'm not even going to look for a new exhaust manifold, once I get time I think I'll find a machine shop and see what they can do with it. If you can't get a new one perhaps an alternative but for you it really has to be air tight....I'm sure you'll get it sorted one way or another.

    I honestly don't know mate, there seems to be water going round one part and air through the middle. Can I just block that hole up and join the two water hoses?
