disco 2 wheel nuts.yes they are 27mm,but with the covers on them it is easier to use a 28mm.

One of the guys that does abit of testing at our place brought his rally car up for MOT today awesome thing

We sponsor him of course and he's just asked if me and dad will put crew for him at the next event yes !! Haha

Took me for a quick spin just and it bloody flys and sticks to the road like glue, 206HP and just over a tonne so it should

look at the manifold!! Sheeit thats nice :-D

 

[Brown]

I love those 'bunch of bananas' manifolds. There isn't really room to get one on my TD5 though. The nearest thing seems to be this
TD5 Exhaust manifold | www.allisport.com
which is very expensive and doesn't quite look like a bunch of bananas anyway.

Yeah throttle bodies

The exhaust is beautiful

 

[McBad]

Did it pass it's MOT?

 

[200tdi ayre]

Did it pass it's MOT?

Yeah of course, no advisorys or anything but it's built to exceed not standard

It's one of only a few types of car that doesn't require a cable hand brake

Had to ask... You know how it is with these kids blasting round in their tweaked-up citroen hatchbacks; more thought to furry dice, roarty exhausts and purple lights underneath than to working headlamps and how much rust there is underneath.

Nahh this is a full on rally car not just a duped up hatchback, it's worth tens of thousands, gull fia internal cage, Kevlar underside protectors, every single bit of weight that can be lost has been taken out so he's done it properly, plus he's been a tester for 20 years so he knows what he's doing


It doesn't need a cable handbrake because it is specifically a rally car, not a road car that is used for track days, and so the mot is a requirement to rally as they have road stages and have to go between stages on roads, so because its not classes as a everyday road car it's not required so he just has a hydraulic handbrake

Haslams been nicking my workshop again welding up his disco that he bought off a mate that just needed a few "patches"

Just 3 body mounts to go

Pressed this out yesterday ...

It's the headstock for a plough, we pushed the shaft out of the middle which is what holds the plough on, so it was abit ... Tight ...

Think you've got problems pushing out bushes this took 50tonne, heat from a oxy torch and smacking with a 16lb sledge hammer

Changed a pair of rear shocks on a 90 today, he wondered why there was no rear damping ....

The washers were the wrong way around so this is my theory as to why they snapped, it's only a farm landy but it just shows how important small things can be
