She's ventured out of the garage and had a wash, kinda of set the ride height, took it for a very small drive to see if the brakes work, and yes, yes they do

KSA-Cossie · 13-03-2010, 06:10 PM

Sits really nice too,brakes are good eh !!!

WongRS · 13-03-2010, 06:11 PM

from what i felt, only rested my foot on them from 50mph, but it pulled up REAL quick!

KSA-Cossie · 13-03-2010, 06:13 PM

Pah !! Wait till you brake from 140 +

WongRS · 13-03-2010, 06:21 PM

im not sure my car goes that fast, never been over 70.....................

WongRS · 24-03-2010, 07:09 PM

Strut tops are back

Slightly chuffed with them..........

Not sure why the thread on the one strut is sticking out so much further than the other though, i think that may need some investigating?

a rs licker · 24-03-2010, 08:17 PM

thats looking great. guess your happy with the brakes.

WongRS · 24-03-2010, 08:20 PM

i haven't had a chance to drive it properly yet mate, but from what i felt pottering up the road they felt great!

KSA-Cossie · 24-03-2010, 08:37 PM

Who did the strut tops ? They look rather good

WongRS · 24-03-2010, 08:40 PM

a good friend of mine (my ex, infact) did them

WongRS · 24-03-2010, 09:32 PM

Just had a final moment of DeBlinging it.......
from this.....

To this....

i dont think there is anymore chrome left on it now!

KSA-Cossie · 25-03-2010, 08:34 AM

Do they fancy doing another set ?

WongRS · 25-03-2010, 09:02 AM

Nice one m8,just let me know how much etc.

WongRS · 28-03-2010, 02:51 PM

She's working out how much mine cost to do at the moment and she's going to get back to me

KSA-Cossie · 28-03-2010, 02:57 PM

Magic,thanks m8.

WongRS · 28-03-2010, 05:18 PM

Managed to finally fix the abs

, fitted one of the old sensors back on it, and, ahem, plugged the connectors on the fluid resivour on, that seems to of done the job.

i took it for a quick blast, not sure why, but fitting the spec R has made me get even more chatter..................

KSA-Cossie · 28-03-2010, 05:42 PM

Sounds good m8,i get chatter then the dump valve kicks in

WongRS · 28-03-2010, 05:43 PM

yeah, mine only works after 20 psi really, which is how i wanted it.
My modified spring worked!

fezzajsy · 28-03-2010, 05:55 PM

sweet

WongRS · 31-03-2010, 02:48 PM

Just rewired the Alt to Bat + wire, charging at 14v now at idle, was only 13.2 before

Had a good check round it, can't see anything for it to fail mot on, and its going tomorrow for the big test, fingers crossed it doesn;t fail!

KSA-Cossie · 31-03-2010, 06:17 PM

Good luck on the mot doubt you'll need it though,where did you get the stuff for doing the rewire ?

WongRS · 31-03-2010, 06:21 PM

Cheers kev, i just used a bit of amp power cable i had lying around, took it straight from the + on the bat to the battery.

joe s · 31-03-2010, 10:05 PM

This is a nice looking cossie mate, well done. Sounds the nuts

WongRS · 31-03-2010, 10:07 PM

Thanks mate, comments like that make it worthwhile

Is it just crimps on either end ? I cant remember as its been so long since i seen mine lol

WongRS · 31-03-2010, 10:12 PM

Crimped ring terminals made, 8mm (13mm nut) on the alternater end, then whatever onto the + on the battery.

KSA-Cossie · 31-03-2010, 10:14 PM

Cheers dan,gonns do this next week when the new engine gets fitted.

WongRS · 31-03-2010, 10:16 PM

no probs mate, seems worth it, nearly an extra volt cant be bad!

KSA-Cossie · 31-03-2010, 10:19 PM

As tesco say "every little helps" lol , iirc mine charges at 13.9v,would like 14v though.

WongRS · 31-03-2010, 10:21 PM

Mine was usually 13.4, not that good for the pump, and the amps fooking hate it!

WongRS · 01-04-2010, 04:39 PM

She passed!
Emissions took 4 attempts to get down, and there was no HB on the OS, but they fixed that (sticky caliper, shock!)
No advisories or anything, chuffed, just taxed it now too

KSA-Cossie · 01-04-2010, 06:59 PM

Hope you're out and enjoying it now dan

WongRS · 01-04-2010, 07:19 PM

Not been in it, i put £30 of juice in before, nearly had a heart attack, £1.25 a litre?!?!

KSA-Cossie · 01-04-2010, 07:23 PM

I thought you would have been out and about in it lol,hoping mine is all done this time next week.

WongRS · 01-04-2010, 07:26 PM

yeah, id of thought so too, dunno, im just not in the mood :s, maybe i will be when its been to msd next wednesday!

KSA-Cossie · 01-04-2010, 07:31 PM

WongRS · 01-04-2010, 07:33 PM

KSA-Cossie · 01-04-2010, 07:41 PM
