    lol, im buying all the stuff i wanted when i was younger! it could be reliving my youth or a midlife crisis im not sure which one haha ive had a few good stereos over the years even 2x alpine 7939r's they were awesome but the p88rs 2 ive got now has the time alignment built in etc
  2. Hi scott erm im not sure i want something bright like it is now so im not sure, the standard radiant red is ok but not as bright as the nissan cherry red thats on it now
  3. Ive been thinking about team dynamics in gold since ive had this cab and thats what got me thinking about gold escort cos or gti wheels in gold just to be different. If my car was in better shape and a original aqua colour then the whole thing would be fully standard concourse style Anyways im still undecided and theres a set of white escort cos wheels on ebay im watching but dont really fancy white ones! anyone good with photo shop that can put diff wheels/colours on my cab to see what it looks like?
  4. So thats my wife and two members hmmm! looks like they might... be staying silver then lol

  8. mines a 91 - 90 spec but has a 80 spec front bumper but poss might be because its a euro import or a past owner could only get hold of a optional RS skirt for the older bumper ?
  9. so you doing yours up over this winter? mines in a garage but getting it out sometime this week to see what needs doing and poss sand it down etc

    Recently bought myself some old partially old skool ice Pioneer p88rs 2 think it only about 6 years old but was used in all the pioneer demo vehicles at that time - sounds amazing just on standard speakers in my wifes mini at the time being Focal 6.5 165 components brand new in box few used old but allegedly never used and my fav item is my Pheonix Gold M 50 amp ive even got it on display in my office room/man cave with all my other new and unfitted parts lol Poss buying two more m 50's or a m44 while my wife is letting me spend sill money haha, and thats all because shes happy that i bought her a nice looking mini cooper with some white wheels, should have bought her a decent car a couple of years ago instead lol
  12. Hi guys How much paint do i need to re spray my cab? includes a standard bonnet and boot lid with a spoiler as well as ones fitted, oh and a pair of twin headlights and poss a rear bumper with RS skirt on Cheers Tony I will prob need a little extra just incase i go wrong anywere lol
  13. just plugged in my new pioneer rs88 2. just waiting on my new mb quart components now :smile:

  14. Been thinking of changing my engine a few cars back but i know that if i do, 1 - ill use more petrol, 2 its more expense and 3 the insurance would be voided unless i told em plus my engine is running fine and my spare one has a new head gasket/cam etc fitted so that one is ok too. Obviously the benefit is more power but i suppose something has got to stay original on my car. Cant wait to see the silver top in yours tho and its going to be very quick
  15. Im sure haynes do a welding manual with tutorials etc
  16. Still not giving up on this megane fitted a new tdc sensor and it still in limp mode, tried cleaning fuel pressure regulator which is fairly new and in the morning the inlet chamber and injector rail is coming off! its not going to defeat me! it will work!!!!! lol
  17. i bought some of ebay brand new that were quoted as being for specifically the mk4 cab but when i fitted them my car looked like a drag racer need some myself to go with my new shocks
  18. unscrew valve key on the side of the pump and manually push it down and up 3-4 times then screw key valve shut that will sort it out
  19. just finding out that! bought it with an alleged coil pack fault so bought a new one and its still in limp mode tried new plugs and leads and checked all wiring for breaks still no joy. ordered a tdc sensor for tommorow so gonna try that and if that fails flog it on :
  20. time to pop into the garage me thinks
  21. just bought a Megane 2.0 Monaco convertable for £340 tax and tested good clean car, anyone else own one? any problems with them apart from the coil pack?
  22. I spoke too soon... Alarm went off 11.30 last night and upon re arming the led was just constantly flashing green so it looks like later on the dash is coming out
  23. As long as its a ford it dnt matter Spotted a mk4 escort van in a farm yard now that would be a good drive around for me while mine is off the road but the wife says NO
  24. im thinking of putting mine off the road to get it done for next year and my wife has agreed to me spending £1400 on a full leather retrim woo hoo i think its because ive sorted all the little problems with it that used to piss her off. so next month or so ill be driving around in a deisel Freelander
  25. im def up for it, ....... Dennis - Scott how about you two?
