ripped_fear Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The pictures are a bit crap as it was getting dark, the fade is worse than that! the only one that shows how bad is the engine bay lid. Happy to say im working my way around the car and its coming up better than i ever thought possible. I will get some more pics tomorrow. :thumbs: good on you, a bit of elbow grease and it should come around very well. Always rewarding working on old neglected cars.

j_jza80 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Is the steering particularly heavy? Wouldn't have thought it would be too bad. DON'T fit wider wheels though, unless you want to work on your guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Parking is a pain, at any kind of speed its ok. Active sound set up. The sub has blown, and it seems monkeys have wired it in wrong, am i right in thinking it has a few amps? If i can put the wiring back to normal all i have to do is replace speakers?

Jamesy Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 My Rev3 has really stiff steering - all part of the go-kart experience mate Get Stonkin on that car for 1 day and it'll be gleaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm either getting old or hopefully its just this cold spell but i'd need more than a day right now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to go with monotonous regularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm either getting old or hopefully its just this cold spell but i'd need more than a day right now lol Id love to let you lose on it. However for a £350 car with a dent i will have to pass. I will give it a G3, machine glaze and wax. As long as it looks better thats good enough for a car that might end up as scrap in 4 months or so. I have stuck together a load of left over ICE and bits and should have some bass back in her soon ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think it has as had it checked when i first got it - the tyres are bigger/wider than stock so that may be a factor - to be honest i actually like it like that - as mentioned it adds to the go-kart experience!

The Raven Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 I would do Chris, but its been promised to the bro in law in return for helping me with the supra engine swap. Atleast she stays in the family and hes over the moon with it. Hes only 21 so its his first sports car moving up from a corsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Work continues on her. Kris now has the amp and 2 200watt subs in the stock holders installed, Also just worked out the sun roof comes off and stores in the front! So the lucky little sod gets the best of both worlds! A Tbar that dont leak, and a open roof driving for the summer! with no extra insurance to pay out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
