Phase 2 tungy

[philg]

mate the engine bay looks fantastic, great job.

[Brigsy]

I think this will be summer use only after all this money/work Trev

I personally love the oem+ look, took some blood/hours/sweat to get it to this condition! not long now until its back on the road

[benj88]

Not sure if this has been mentioned before Ben but in the winter you might find that the lack of water through the carb base can cause the throttle to stick open partially. It usually goes away when fully warm but it's a right pain in the process.

It has to do with the carb base and throttle spindle being made of different metals and warming/heating up at different rates. The spindle gets pinched and sticks.

See how you get on. If it happens, at least you'll know what it is.

Cheers for the advice mate, after the summer il be looking into buying another car so hopefully won't have that problem. Just guna keep the 5 for the summer and keep it nice

Cheers mate. Yeh it's an eBay spesh, iv asked about and people have said there decent. Iv got a standard replacement one with the oil cooler on, I wanted to run a separate oil cooler but I think the one that's on the rad is ment to be fine

[Trevhib]

[dickiegtt]

This thread makes me take a look back at your old phase one trev, i love it soooo much.

[benj88]

Now then! Got the car finished on Sunday! It's running sweet as! The temp and oil pressure is spot on. Was great driving it again, leaving the t2 on for the mean time but the t25 will be on soon. Massive thanks to Briggs he really knows his stuff with these motors

Love this car, have a soft spot for tungys and this is a minter

[benj88]

Thanks, there's still a lot of things I plan to do to make it better

[elcie]

Can't believe how much shine this car has all the time

[philg]

benj, i know you have mentioned about the indicators and the wings being cut, but is there no way of getting the standard ones in, even a bit of sticker flex to help keep them in, or trying to make a bracket or something.

Just a thought, it would really just finish off you car .

phil

[benj88]

Alright Phil, I was talking to my mate yesterday about it. But I don't think that would work mate the holes too big and it wouldn't look rite, it's a shame cos I love the standard ones il eventually do something about it

[Jonny5]

Hey mate. Howz the car running?

[Thundercat]

Those side repeaters would look better changed to renault 19 ones mate. Fitted some to my dimmer and looked spot.

[benj88]

[benj88]

Il probs end up changing the wings mate

[Trevhib]

In which case, standard would be my choice, or wings with no repeaters

Know the feeling mate im still running in @ 10psi max, annoying when you know you got a sorted car under you.

[benj88]

Well it's been a while since iv posted in here. Had it off the road all winter forgot how much I loved it when I got it back on the road.

Iv recently bought some Azev c's. Iv been wanting a set since I first bought the car. There in decent condition but il be getting them powder coated.

Pics arnt the best quality, forgot to take my camera to work.







I'm planning on getting some hispec 4pots next.

Benj

[Jonny5]

Looking good mate

[Trevhib]

I never get bored of looking at pics of this car.

Wheels look great.

[philg]

Wheels do look nice mate, will you still be able to get the stickers for in the centre caps, it would be a shame if you could not replace

4 pots next then

[Brigsy]

Looks mint azev's really suit it

[benj88]

Cheers fellas

I'm not sure Phil il be looking into it as 2 of the caps arnt in the best nick. If I can't source any il mebys get some stickers made to cover.

Yeh 4 pots, I no there over priced etc but they just look mint I'm undecided with red black or silver what you think guys?

[djinuk]

Mine are red and i love them, but i have red hoses, a red strut brace and obviously the side stickers so it all ties in quite nice. I would go with black calipers on your car though, that will look sweet

What are you going for hi-spec, or just going to see what pops up?

[Trevhib]

Get them Clio/19 side repeaters on!
