정비 사례

For the last 20 years, I have been fortunate enough to be able to have an older car to muck about with, go on trips, car meetings, the odd track day, euro tours and generally have fun. Mostly long-term ownership - Stag 8 years, 2x TVRs approx 4 years each, Boxster 987 3 years (as a daily) 996 Aero 3 years and a TR6 for several weeks (disaster car). For several years, I had a two at the same time and one year managed 5000 miles in the TVR and 3000 in the Stag.The 996 Aero was not a car I had ever wanted and ended up swapping unseen it for my modified 5.3 Chimaera during a boozy Sunday lunch.

This is a departure for me. Usually I'm in shed territory having previously spent next to nothing on various vauxhalls. Anyway a few months ago wife suggested that the permanently leaking Astra 1.4GTC wasn't comfortable enough for her passenger needs. And she thought I might like to buy something much more comfortable. Not really dear. Anyway over the weeks it became clear that she was serious, so I started looking. Having shown her various "unsuitable" options it was clear that it had to have Big rear seats for tiny grandchildrens massive seats. And isofix. And 4 or 5 doors.My only requireme

Browsing the Barge 1-5 thread last Sunday, I couldn't help but click and look at this W124 which ended later that night. With apologies to poster Derin100 who was interested in the car (we communicated by email on it), I felt a bidding moment come over me. By 10pm the car was mine. Going back a little, the first car I actually owned came in the form of a green 300E W124. I had worked in London for a few years since leaving uni, and while a car fan, living in central London owning and running a car was just not on the radar. I had the chance to move up to Edinburgh, so logged onto this Pistonhe

Not a bad place to drive, by the look of it. If the car has a cabin filter, it's secreted kind of behind the wiper. Mine (similar to r129sl's car) should have a filter, but has been bodged in the past. I think I've got all the bits to reinstate it.

ajprice said: I hadn't seen this thread for a while, catching up on the interior, today I learned that 997 911 interior parts are interchangeable with Boxster/Cayman parts. For some reason I thought there would be something about them that meant they wouldn't fit, especially the door cards. Nice job with the coloured interior From the B-pillar forward the 9X6 and 9X7 cars are essentially identical, interior included.

I watched the cyber truck reveal live. the one where musk demonstrated the unbreakable windows. IIRC the Cybertruck could ford rivers and float. AFAIK, the truck doesn't have aquatic capability yet. a million people placed a deposit in the hope of Founders edition..And they peeled the Founders Edition didn't sell out, so they peeled off the decals. Tell me this reveal is a different affair, cos I am putting it alongside all the other claims.

I'm sure it won't look like it but this post represents over 2 months of hard graft, plenty of 1am finishes in the garage. Everything takes me ages when I'm fabricating stuff.Getting these Mclaren charge coolers in was going to be a huge job, it felt a bit like I'd built everything around the old Mercedes charge coolers. There were a few compromises made when I fitted the G25 turbos the last time around, intake pipe into the boot (with no filter), the wastegates were in an awful position for access and I was stuck with screamer pipes when I'd rather feed back into the exhaust. I decided to st

For anyone that's not aware of my previous Boxster the build thread is here - https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...To re-cap it went from this...To this...The car was still due to be mapped and I didn't have a proper insurance policy on it so it was a big financial loss. The reaction on the forums has been overwhelming and a gofundme page was set up to try and get the project going again. A massive thank you to everyone that donated. I started off getting another Audi A6 2.7t donor car. This weekend I picked up another Boxster. It's a 2.7, has done 98k with full service history

Come on man.It's possible I am being unfair. That is how I read the posts, you can disagree with that reading. As stated, I'd like to be wrong and for you to be right.It's also possible my reading was influenced by what I saw in the news this morning.

It got rotated upside down on a spit. It didn't drive up a 100ft curve at 5mph Fans suck the car to the ground, whether stationary or moving Surely this isn't hard to grasp !For the McMurtry demo it wasn't be held up by anything other than the suction from the fansEdited by SDK on Friday 16th October 09:55 Ah yeah they're totally the same

Wow. What a time to be alive.This demonstration was even more impressive than the McMurtry...

Will it have a Boxer 8 in it?

News on Vecsheds demise, is still sending reverberations around the thread it seems, mad how these benign 'crap cars' labelled by society stay in peoples minds. Not actively looking at the moment for its replacement, as I cba in all honesty, so much st out there for silly prices, I cant justify anything I have seen currently, so I am just chucking the miles on the 3 series for now, which is around 2k or so into Nov/Dec - it can shout at me with its engine emission lights all it likes, its still getting abused!Plan is to see where we are at the end of the year, but running leggy old cars flat o
