But if you use an M24 bolt, instead of 4 M6 ones, 4x6=24, therefore it's 4x as strong and you only need one /dumdummaths

Lol Jonny.
They do look awesome, much better suited to properly proportioned people. They're manual piggy, electric ones have smaller buttons than that lol.
RE: OEM+ Bianca Estate (More new seats) - Dum-Dum - 23-10-2013
So for the benefit of Puggy this is my 3" tight 90* bend for my down pipe. Its sitting on top of a nice small flexi
So as I was going to do my beam today I ordered some shiny braided hoses and also some copper brake pipe and nipples along with a flaring tool as I was wholly confident in my ability to break the existing hoses.
So I realised that I only have 1 jack I realised I could support the beam as it came off on 4 axle stands. I hooked a couple of bottles up to catch the brake fluid so I wasn't gonna lie in puddles of it. Took me just 2 hours to get the beam off withoug breaking anything (except the fuel tank heat shield).
While the beam and exhaust and all the other crap was off I cracked out the waxoyl. I'm happy that my NSR arch doesn't appear to have a rust hole in it and its now caked in waxoyl as is every bit of metal I could see from the fuel tank back.
And finally after 4 hours of swapping bits over between the beams I got the new beam on the car (again with the help of 4 axle stands) and somehow I didn't need to make any new brake pipes.
Tomorrow will bring fitting new pads and discs, making a mid box back box, putting everything back together, fitting the front braided hoses, bleeding the whole system through with 5.1 fluid and getting my 2 new tyres put on then hopefully having enough time for a wash, pics and a test drive.

RE: OEM+ Bianca Estate (More new seats) - Piggy - 23-10-2013
you got same braided hoses as me...

Yes and no, I have used washers but I haven't done a good job of it so I might well redo them tomorrow.

Be good to see those seats go in, look totally boss. shame about the weight. Do you really need a passenger one?

Cheers mate, it'll look a bit silly without both seats as its not getting stripped and I lift share to work so need the seats on the days I do drive. Also I'm really not too bothered about the weight of this car, it already weighs a stupid amount and its only going one way with the mods
RE: OEM+ Bianca Estate (More new seats) - Piggy - 23-10-2013
1750kg bus for the win

All the extra CC's helping to haul it along?
RE: OEM+ Bianca Estate (More new seats) - Dum-Dum - 23-10-2013
All the extra CCs to weigh it down more like.
RE: OEM+ Bianca Estate (More new seats) - Poodle - 24-10-2013
Looks lovely underneath there man, those brake hoses are a pita to secure, ended up using a couple of nuts and several e-clips to sort fozzy's until he can make a proper fixing.
RE: OEM+ Bianca Estate (More new seats) - Grant - 24-10-2013
Is that the spray can waxoyl? I found the brush on non-drip stuff to go on really well with little/no mess

(24-10-2013, 09:19 AM)Grant Wrote: Is that the spray can waxoyl? I found the brush on non-drip stuff to go on really well with little/no messYeah its the trigger spray cos the aerosols really are terrible. I prefer it to the brush on as its easier to get into gaps even if its not quite so pretty.
RE: OEM+ Bianca Estate (More new seats) - Grant - 24-10-2013
Fair enough dude. Although, y'know you can buy smaller paintbrushes right?
RE: OEM+ Bianca Estate (More new seats) - Dum-Dum - 24-10-2013
Yeah but the trigger spray fires through gaps like above the fuel tank and also has an adaptor so you can do the inside of the box sections

Thats what your *insert female relative* said.
Anyway rear end is back together and bleed up, just about to go out and do the fronts.

I can just imagine Chris perusing the bay of e for hours on end looking for the biggest paintbrush possible!
RE: OEM+ Bianca Estate (More new seats) - lolsteve - 24-10-2013
Very nice, since you're making all this effort to protect it I assume you're going to be keeping this one for a couple more weeks?
RE: OEM+ Bianca Estate (More new seats) - Dum-Dum - 24-10-2013
So I improved on my previous attempts at mid box back boxes. I cut the strap holding the hangar off the original box and then stuffed a mid box inside it then used a large jubilee clip to hold it together. To finish it off I added the down turned tip off the old box
While I wasn't going anywhere and it was sunny and relatively warm I decided to give the front grille a quick blow over to match the rest of the car, its not the worlds best job but then I didn't sand it or clean it before painting lol.
For the second time since I've lived here I've dropped a car off axle stands. I really need to start working up and down the hill rather than across it. Fortunately no damage to the car.
And here she is sitting pretty on her 6 beam. Its turned out at a 60mm drop (it was 40mm on the 6) but I'm tempted to drop her another 20mm.
Its been a long day with the threads in the hubs being a little rusty and the screws in the disc not wanting to come out coupled with having no sharp drill bits. Didn't get a chance to do the front braided hoses and one of my hand brake cables has come up miles too short and the other really long so I've spent £20 on a new pair of Pagid ones from ECP.
Hopefully just a couple of hours work tomorrow morning and I can set about cleaning the car.

Already up to 4 months with no plans to get rid and shes definitely staying till 250k (unless its REALLY bad news at the MOT)
