Hi Matey, Saw your ad for the old Maxxis tyres as I was looking for some for the Hornet. What size are your boggers? Still 33x13.50x15's I was thinking of some Insa turbo Special Tracks but they are hard to get in 33x12.50x15. Need to replace my GT Radial MT Adventuros

Whip them out for he MOT, it won't fail as the seats aren't there. I had mine MOTd with only the front seats as I had not sorted the new chassis to seatbelt anchor points. It will get the car on the road so you can use it whilst sorting a fix Obviously I'm not suggesting the seats are used...

Yes i have checked the wheels spins freely. I have come to the conclusion that there is more free play in the fronts due to the sphere arrangement. I have even made up my own tool so I can accurately torque up the hub bearings, not the usual swing on an extension bar lol. Anyhow, arches ummm I...

Hi Sam, I do like those tyres, very you lol. The light mod is a good tip and as usual done exceptionally well. Interesting point on the brakes and calipers. I too have looked at changing to vented discs but would rather understand why my rear pads wear out far quicker than. My fronts when the...

Great work there Mr RobP. It is looking really nice. Rear calipers are upside down though I'm afraid. Trust me bleeding is difficult enough without having the nipples at the bottom. I am impressed with your panel work, well done again..

Well it sounds like a lot of work tbh. Could be a project for someone

Hi Guys, Looking for some winch rope to make extensions. NOT wire cable, it needs to be Amsted or Dynema etc. I'm more than happy to take a couple of snapped ropes. If you have anything that may be of interest, please PM me with what you've got. Cheers Ian

They werentthe same from the factory - the chassis had a tolerance of 12mm in either direction lol Oh and the body isnt square either

Oil shouldnt be coming out the end of the axle and as thats where the wheel bolts on I would start there first. then check the simple stuff, track rod ends etc. Steering box, thats my issue plus castor is out but hey back to you... Your tracking shouldnt make too much diference on the...

I hang around with guys that use lockers and trutrac diffs and heres what I see. Mine is std all the way through still. tyre choice makes a difference. I stuck to mud tyres (GT Radials) as I wanted the tyres to slip before snapping half shafts and diffs. My mates went for insa's which...

thebiglad gives sound advice. You can get an MOT failure (basically on everything you have already listed) for not too much at all and if you can weld, then youre golden. I brought a small welder for £100. I have rewelded most of the Hornet and made all sorts of bits and pieces over the...

Mobile mechanics are popping up everywhere nowadays. efore handing over any cash, test what they have done. Only pay for parts up front on presentation of a bill for just said parts and if they say they will come back to finish, it is not unreasonable to pay them when they return. I...

Dont judge everyone on your standard of workmanship :) On another note, this is probably the best forum out there for useful uncomplicated help. You dont have to be part of a clicky group to get answers, just do the leg work yourself and then ask intelligent questions if you are stuck...

Dont know about the facelift items but the 300 lights do not take kindly to being put in the dishwasher lol. I lost all the silver from them and ended up buying two new units. I felt a right idiot because I thought I was being clever lol Perspex can be sanded with 2000 wet and dry and then...

Jesus it seems to be a pig, not looking forward to doing mine. Must say the quality of the finish is dodgy - whos the idiots though, Britpart for making teh ****e or suppliers to us for stocking them???? Mate had the same issue, paid for quality stuff only to be sent BP rubbish. should...
