Good at rear bushes, so I am lead to believe ::)

I've got to send this thread back up to the top. Chris spent about two hours under my car last night and showed me what the garage had missed. Bit more to spend now but will be well worth it.
He also showed me just how fast a modified Omega can go. :D
Thanks a lot mate.

Moved to more appropriate area.
Well done, Mr gixer :y
-
He's OK...I suppose.

Bloody hell, a compliment from Esty? You ok Steve? :o ;)

No problem risky, hope "we" didnt ust too much juice, lpg gives you big feet. So i'm used to not worrying too much about fuel costs, whoops. Lovely noise, and strangely nice to drive with a clutch again. Hmmm...strokes chin and ponders... :)

Yes, toyed with that idea a couple of weeks back myself ::), but no room for another car until Goldie gets crushed. Soon.

Sounds good, coming to the end of my auto "project" tbh. Not much more i can do with it, didn't think it was worth fitting an lsd to an auto ?
Manual makes more sense in that reguard i guess? and it would be nice to have a car to play with that does not have to be back working by morning to get to work. Hmmm, hobby car, strokes chin and ponders again. ;D
Mind you seen a few dual mass flywheel posts that sound expensive to correct?

If you have a garage, you could do hobby/fun car properly. I know where there is a bent chassis going cheap, maybe even a nosecone ;D

Only the front half. ;D Gould graft it onto the back end of a bike, I suppose. Always fancied a Grinall Scorpion. 8-)
