I'll see what I find in the UK next week!!!

Can you find a set of Borbet for me

[Stiggy_21]

got the wishbones and bushes in today, what a PITA job!!!
heaps better now, nice and stiff

old and new

[Stiggy_21]

finally back from the UK. had an awesome time and saw so many mk2's!!! saw more in 2 days than i ever have in AUS

picked up a few goodies, but you'll have to wait until they come

but pick up another MFA wiper stalk, because mine had snapped and the washers weren't working.
now after rewiring this one and plugging it in, magically the washers works!! ended up being a wiring fault and a dodgy pump


and finally passed 110,000miles today

A few goodies? Like G60's, 2 door valver's and Rallye's?
Your MK2 is still a youngin haha.

Btw did you keep the old wishbones?

[Stiggy_21]

right on the money ryan
not really, but a cheap 2Y Gbox is always handy
now that's enough info for now

yeah kept the old ones just in-case i need them at a later date

Great car, very rare to score a helios blue 16v especially in aus very likely it would be the only one here. Hell of a first car!

So the cars first BIG drive was to GAD in canberra over the weekend. And she loved it!!! Never missed a beat, which is always good news
Doing 110km/h the car sits at 3,400rpm!!!! Yet still managed to get about 7L/100km..
What does everyone else get??

Also may have picked up some RS001's too

Is that with the close ratio box?
Mines pretty similar rev wise at 110, similar fuel usage too.

I can rag mine on a highway for hours on end and get under 10L/100km, but as soon as I come back into town back up around 12L/100.
Strange little cars.

[Stiggy_21]

Nah it with a CHB box. Not the 2Y

[hamza]

may i ask why you bought new wishbones? was there something with the old ones?
