You need to fix those drawers on that cabinet. Very shoddy.

thats quality b&q cabinets for you,

will be doing the kitchen soon so that will replace the old one in the garage, nice beech effect mmmmmm cant wait,

i suppose im getting lazy bloody crap draws should spare a few mins to sort them out never mind ill get on with more important things the car

but why are you stripping it all isn't it a fresh build with a blown engine,


INDY BIRD - 20/6/10 at 09:50 PM

mmmm fresh build i am checking everything as will go on track and as it is my arse in the drivers seat i will ensure everthing is as it should be,

dont want something silly to happen at 100 mph that i didnt know about,

found some issues that need sorting out so will always check deeper now.

still love all this

blown engine is only a minor issue

Make it nice mate, Hope I didn't make too many mistakes for you to fix, it had been pretty much rebuilt though at MNR prior to the rolling road incident, Hope to see it on a track in the near future, let me know when you get it ready to race and where you might be, I will bring my caravan and have a look and get some footage. :-)

Might look into building a MEV Tr1KE in the near future...

Good talking to you mate and good luck with your project. Great car after you do a little work.

Re the water system, the top hose isn't right and on my car goes into the back of the thermostat

Cheers

Hi

good to chat paul and thanks for the advice,

hope you liked the video of the zx10r not up to your driving std yet though im afraid,

car looks even more bare with the engine out,

Nick will hope to resolve dome issues glad you didnt drive to far though mate as all the diff bolts i could undo with my fingers

cheers all will update once i get the engine back from mb customs


paublo999 - 13/7/10 at 08:10 PM

video was great, liked the way it rev'd its head off

I fancy a test drive at some point if you invite me down

Interested in what failed on the engine and why, mine does take a little but of a hammering but not for long. It might need a bit of tlc soon.

Cheers
Paul
