How did you solve the diff issue?
I have brought another diff but not confident now you said you had same issue...

A friend did the column for me... cant see him doing another though if you know what I mean, lol

Jay,

Bloody hell Its Gav where the fuck you been and the car looks cools as always

That's not good if these diffs snap there but you can see why they are fooking heavy it's a lot of weight hanging on them studs

My favorite 3dr, was nice to see it at Ford Fair I had a good look around it. The centre locks will look superb! I do love the dymags on it though.

Cheers dude, just working hard mate to clear some debts and spending time with misses and family rather than just on cars..
Although hopefully get the car back out again this year, is already booked in for new custom inter cooler next month

Your not wrong mate, but hopefully a solution will be coming about soon

Thanks bud, takes some upkeep but it's worth it

I did think of something similar like holding from the bottom too some how but not using the car at moment so not sorted anything or looked into it much

I love the dymags too bud but they have been on a while now and fancied a change to something a little different from the norm..
Dymags will be getting another refurb when they're off as starting to show a few blemishes but will keep them so can swap about depending on mood

Mark Shead

Sell Rod the dymags back

car looks 1000 times better now its got the door mouldings on ,
why was it down in power that time?

Gav Diamond

iTrader: (6)

Cheers bud



Thanks mate, Always hated it without the mouldings.
Wasn't down on power, was me being a numpty and the boost gauge was broke... Actually still is as yet to take it out..

How's it going Gav?? Must catch up this yr somewhere for a chin wag bud, be good to see you & the car out

Gav Diamond

iTrader: (6)

All the wiring and sensor is tucked away, its a dash out job, lol
I spent about 2-3 month chasing a boost leak that never existed..



Yea im good ta Pete
Be good to catch up with some people as not really been part of the shows etc for a few years now.
Not sure what im doing with the car this year, had a good chat with Harvey yesterday with regards to engine and may be pulling the engine out and selling to fund a new build....

Gav Diamond

iTrader: (6)

Not much happening with the car but thought I'd post a few pictures to show its still been around


Weir kit and rebuild (is 3.7, just marked up wrong)





New diff mount rubbers





Billet cover, powdercoated myself... learnt a rough finish is best to coat to but looks ok for now just scratches easily





Built up





In





New cam seals as was leaking





Missfire issues





New rear tyres as R888 wore out








Had to wrap tailpipe as was melting bumper, had a few guys say it looks shite but function over form





Swapped the air injector tanks to black ones





Got invited to Ultimate Stance show, thought it'd be rude not to don their carpet with a few oil spots lol











[


Think these were Ford Fair, not taken by me








Finally how it has been for the last 2 months as don't get time due to work commitments to get near it

Very nice Gaz.. Wants a smaller tail pipe and a front ford badge; and it's perfect

Nice to see the car again Gav . I'v not seen my 3dr since about May last year lol

Gav Diamond

iTrader: (6)

Have thought about the front badge and have loved the smooth look but do feel it wants replacing but the cost of the front grill is very high for a good one so will happen if one pops up at right money

I like the 4" tailpipe so that's staying put but the way the exhaust sits on my car has always annoyed me so will be getting sorted at some point as whole centre section needs fixing as it hangs too low and has wore through from rubbing on the road

Know how easily it can be done mate, life seems to get in the way a lot these days and never worked so many hours in my life but am no better off lol

Gav Diamond

iTrader: (6)

Pain to diagnose though, replaced plugs and had a duff set so took car to Harvey, swapped plugs again and problem solved

You do mate, be good to see it back out

Thanks bud

Cheers Pete, although this happened the other day

Nothing wrong with it mate, engine bay is looking messy and seams are showing signs of rust so getting it sorted properly and whole bay repainted dude

I'm good ta bud,
Car is currently at Dave (Whizzisat) house with very little front end on it... I'll put some pictures up when I get home from work
The car is going back to standard now as the engine, Rs500 parts, gearbox and diff have been sold..

I've also bought a 605bhp R32 GTR for a new challenge/project so quite a bit gone on lol

Still need to sort a catch up at some point fella

Gav Diamond

iTrader: (6)

As above gave Dave (Whizzsat) my car after begging for him to fix the engine bay and he thanked me by cutting the front off
