Just wanted to say a big thanks to Paul and staff at motor-mech for all the work they did on my coupe on friday(cam belt cam cover etc), runs much better now and im not so scared of it blowing up yay... soz if i annoyed hanging round so much lol.
Got my other lower arm on now so all very smooth now whilst driving.
Got to say so funny watching people go in and out of the Taboo cinema club especialy when a police helicopter was hovering over and a pervy old man was hiding in the door way hehe...
KingPleb your coop was looking a bit worst for wear hope you get it back on the road soon mate good luck...

Murderer!

Worse for wear?!? you mean the small scratches down the drivers side?? or the engine in a million bits

no, that hole in your rear bumper....terrible:)

Ahhh I got another to go on when i get her back

Iceberg say anything about her, i think he hates seeing her at the minute as she looks like an upturned skip lol dirtying his work enviroment and all

What you waiting for on it now then?????

New pistons??? You being your awkward self and wanting special ones?

Well i asked if was because you ran lpg that your engine died, he said no just probably fueling wrong, scares me now to start modding... looks expensive when things go wrong.

Any idea when you'll get her back up and running?

got some pics at icebergs with your car on them kingpleb, if you want me to email them to you?

That be nice matey as i do kinda miss her

Im looking for gold plated pistons Carlt
Nah iceberg doing me a good deal and im in no rush for her at the minute as i got the new tank thats having its head put back on in teh next day or two so all good
Was tempted to spend some money and get the JE forged pistons and balance them up and follow along nigels route but Davidl had already sold them adn teh brand new price from JE wasnt exactly within my bracket and didnt wanna scrimp on such things so its on teh back burner as a future mod for when next cambelt is needed as well , Forged rods and pistons and balanced bottom end and leave the head be

sent some pics to that ntl email account on your profile page kingpleb...

Cheers Iain

Didnt realise you worked so close to wear i live as well! :

Will,

I was at Iceberg's inestimable establishment today getting some pre-MOT and an MOT done - cheers as always to Paul - and had a look at your car.

You'll be pleased to know that the engine compartment looks like an octopus trying to engage in extra-marital relations with a set of bagpipes; said bagpipes not being too happy about this and trying to escape on a wheelchair. And you can see right through the engine!

Anyway, I thought I'd cheer it up a bit so I tied a huge purple ribbon round it

Neil

LOL cheers Neil
Im happy the love affair is going well
The seeing thru engine would eb the old dead pistons gone bye bye lol

Think i may ring iceberg up and say to bung new pistons in as well while he's at it as i can save up the money then for it which should make it a tiny bit better and ask him if he can sort the MOT out for me as well as its due up in October and it just needs a foglight re-wire and brake light wire jumpered over from the other side to pass the test

I might pay them a visit for my next big job (probably clutch, I'm praying not for a new sump) ... a quick trip on the ferry and whiz down the M6 at 2am

yeah dead easy. What port you coming from as the run from liverpool is prob easier than hollyhead and less likely to coem acros an anal person on a bridge with a gun as well but if your from south of the border they can do burger all

Aww thanks matey LOL

I Would like to ring but i dont like to pester Paul as hes doing a superb job for me and good price as well i dont wanna sound like a whinger or anything but ive got something special lined up for him as a thank you

David the run from holyhead is littered with hot spots for them so i would personally avoid it as the run from liverpool is dead easy adn straight near enough, M62 => M6 and jobs a good un and avoid lots of them at that time as well if you get a late ferry over and the same back or do a 3 day trip

Need to take the punto up there soon. Hope it doesn't make all the coupes in there feel inferior
