Shame to see it come to this!
I'd love that airbox but simply cannot afford it haha! The cams and verniers however will be affordable and I've been waiting for a set to fit along with belts :)

Paypal?

[Malteser]

what steering wheel do you have on there? pics please?

No rush to get them out so if the easier things are there to take off go for them. just thought I'd get my name down early for them haha!

[stamford]

Bumhole, lost out on cams yet again! Shame it has to be broken but you have certainly been very patient with this project. Some nice bits for sale, alas too much for some.

I knew you'd be there for them too following the PoL chat! I'd have went for re grind if these didnt have the verniers though.


I'd honestly love the x-power springs too but if I lower my car the wheels are going to get eaten by my arches! (Unless anyone has any ideas?)

Someone buy them to get them copied for a group buy!
Or if you want to make some money on FB and the like steve, get a batch copied yourself!

[stamford]

Ce la vie! If I did have them they would have sat ages waiting to get fitted!

Hi,

I'm interested in the steering wheel if Malteser doesn't have it.

Getting the xpower springs copied is a not half bad idea, there seems to be some demand for them.

[Skillen]

If it's a go I may buy them with next months wage (2weeks away) depending on how much it would cost to get a batch made up and how many numbers we need to make it a viable option.
They seem to be few and far between.

[petet16]

Before you commit any money it would be worth contacting a few spring manufacturers to get a handle on costs of making copies, I've no idea how many sets you could sell as lots of people express interest until it comes to fronting the money, whereupon they suddenly lose interest.

[peterzs]

And get a deposit!!

[petet16]

And get a deposit!!

Yes, most definitely.

[Silverdreamracer]

Hi, what would you take for the inlet manifold and associated bits together with the ECU?? You could PM me if you like!

[carmadbaker]

[tb steve]

I rang a specialist a while back about this and they wanted OE spring rates etc to build against.

There was a group buy for petrol and diesel xpower ZR springs where they sent the springs off. I've emailed the guy who sorted it.
Would they not be able to work off the x-powers with the gauge and number if coils?

You can go ahead Tom. Unfortunately that's not the model of steering I'm looking for. Thanks for the pic and GLWS!

[p_b82]

Sad to see the car being broken after all the pain you went through trying to sort it, but needs must at times.

GLWTS though!

[tb steve]

cams all out now :)

Nope sorry :)
Just paid up.

That's why I jumped at the chance. Easy to get the cams but nowhere near easy to find the pulleys!

[tb steve]

fuel inlet sold

[tb steve]

any of you mk2 owners wont a inner arch liner to protect your fuel pipe

offers please

[talkingcars]

Took the one off my mk1 yesterday and the fuel pipes look brand new, even after 13 years and 120k,
glanced under the wheel arch on the mk2 and struggled to see the pipe at all.

Defiantly worth fitting if you can get one.

[lukenobrains]

You still have the bonnet? If so condition? How much? Will need it posted realistically which I know is a bit of a task! But will cost a fortune to collect in my 180 and wont even fit inside it! I'll send you a PM too with my number and stuff as I dont use this forum much, I've been pointed here specifically to this thread for the bonnet!!

[tb steve]

Did you ever get the bits I sent you? I want to spend the money.

[Skillen]

Yes I did! Sorry I totally forgot to mention that! Spend away!

[talkingcars]

Yes I did! Sorry I totally forgot to mention that! Spend away!

Cool - got to spend a mountain on the F as a gear selector cable snapped when the car was having an Italian tune up for the MOT as it failed on emissions (common on the F) and its 30 odd miles away.
