[STEAVIE]

what colours your puma mate? should do a poll and see what others' opinions are

just a suggestion

mines silver (silver 1.7 project thread!) think im gonna go with silver??!! i`ll add it to my to do list! lol!

 

[Anonymous]

aye, I think unless you have a theme going and it won't stand out too much then Ithink the same colour as the car is a safe option k:

Z- I want your lights!

But not just yet

 

[Anonymous]

I have 4 units haha!

In the 1st pic of your exhaust back box looks like it is lopsided. Is that normal? because mine looks like that too and I assumed it was missing a hanger or something.

 

[Anonymous]

it's normal, all of the exhaust mounts are in place

if it's not hangind low I wouldnt worry about it

 

[lib319]

Not hanging low and I like the look of it being offset. I didn't think there was much wrong with mine but I queried it when I had it in for an oil change and the guy in National Tyres said it needed a new section because the bracket was broken. Didn't believe him though.

Love your hazy blue indicators, great little mod.

just jack the car up and have a look underneath and give it abit of a shake... you'll soon know whether the braket is broken k:

cheers muchly, they are much brighter and as you say a great mod - the links posted in here sumwhere for the bulbs themselves

More of an update really....

last couple of weeks managed to get some little jobs sorted out

FINALLY got the oil leak sorted and turned out to be the rocker cover gasket leaking after all even after Id checked the back of the engine with no signs of any oil, but after having the plastic cover off and the rocker cover itself, leads out and oh my the plugs were swimming in oil...
Resealed the gasked (cheers Chris ) and some new Denso Iridium spark plugs = a happy me and a happy Black

Next couple of weeks the brake hoses will be changed for Braided (hopefully) and get my wobbly knob sorted once I have the gear linkage and a little mod with a bolt
Calipers will be painted silver and the rear drums sanded down and done in gloss black

By June Im hoping to have the suspension parts and get her dropped 40mm and an FRP front splitter for her

 

[Anonymous]

Thanks to the lovely weather and a nice early shift at work today I got on with my brake drums

Passenger side before

Abit of cleaning and sanding down

Painted

And behind the wheels

The other side is the same so didnt bother with pics
Really pleased with how well they have came out

 

[TyeBoi]

looking good there zara!

 

[Anonymous]

Cheers Chris k:

Really chuffed with them and look much much better than they did before!

Front monster calipers next

 

[TyeBoi]

lol. bring on the TUB of hammerite for them!

I am so flipping eager to get on with sorting my brakes but I am waiting for parts so for now the puma is suffering a bit and feeling VERY left out.

 

[Anonymous]

Tub of hammerite in smooth silver at the ready, keep the sun shining and away!

Lol it's about time mine had some attention, moving down here with Andy has freed up some cash each month so I can now spend some on her

next few months is the suspension and the FRP splitter

 

[TyeBoi]

very nice!

I just gotta finish these last 2 weeks of uni before I can start the massive rebuild of my puma. I am sure you have seen the pics of just a fraction of the parts I have ready for it.
