ThePog Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Just be getting used to that sort of shit with Italian cars. It is an order of magnitude more amusing when the car is not your daily though... if it is your daily it wears thin after the first 50 incidents/6 months - whichever comes first. I wouldnt be without one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblegoose Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 ALSO big hole in roof some time/welding/fire on boot carpet/removed the NAILS that hold the carpet down and took the carpet out later slight warp but nothing im going to worry about, also killed the grinder hence the lumpiness underneath from teh not quite ground back welds oh dear....my seats all dusty. roof has been done many, many..........manymanymany times before and appears to be previously red? maybe a roof cut at some stage previous repair to bonnet was coming loose, some green cheeze will fix that chips and scratches can leave now, note italianesque bog (green and red) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 measured the paint thickness today out of curiosity due to millionz respray LR door was thickest at 3.1mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholdowa Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 measured the paint thickness today out of curiosity due to millionz resprayLR door was thickest at 3.1mm That's to offset the lightweight racing roof I suppose?? Apparently a mk1 or 2 golf has the same profile around the sunroof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 yeah this thing could do with a roof skin but im not going that far into it, its supposed to be a quick fix daily and has already turned into paint everything daily worst be so far is the drivers door has rotted out at the bottom but is hidden by the rubber so that can stay hidden for now this thing needs to be OTR and legit by wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 That's it? Pedal Travel? That's all it failed on? Surely that's motherfucking win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 just a pain in the arse messy job of changing old brake pads on a smelly itailan car, i just know its not going to be a walk in tha park/ will end up needing full brake system also failed on handbrake warning light but i fixed that while he was writing the fail sheet also. steve, you must be quite popular or people realy like this car, on my short trip to and from the wof station 3 people beeped and waved and i have no clue who they were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 i almost forgot fresh 2k 'super white' and some fresh bumper black thinking it needs some kind of front lip and small tailgate spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholdowa Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 also. steve, you must be quite popular or people realy like this car, on my short trip to and from the wof station 3 people beeped and waved and i have no clue who they were What were they waving?? What's wrong with the brakes? Mind you, the way they fade, you might be replacing the disks as well. Sorry rotors. Looking good. Damn good. Just leave the Martini stripes off, eh?

Testament Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 nah, brake pads on these/most fiats/lancias are a piece of piss. about 5 min job per wheel once its on stands wheels off. get omp streetsport ones, thomson motors sells them. I hope the rear brake regulator is ok - I had mine seize up and it was a shit of a thing to change. but yeah I dont get why the pedal travel is so much on these, I bled the brakes about 5 times and mine is still pretty average, they work ok but just feel poo. the 124 on the other hand had a leaky rear brake reg for years and the pedal still felt great (although it would go down a bit if you held the pressure for a long time).

bubblegoose Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 there is nothing wrong with the brakes they feel fine to me, better than the bmw ones. got it up to 60k and locked up all 4 wheels fronts locked just before the rears got some pads to pick up tomorrow just some tsw's they seem to do the job on most cars and a guy i know uses them in his race aw11 of similar hp and hopefully the discs are meaty enough to take one more set of pads paints not so good, i was too dark in the cave to see what i was going so has quite a few runs if the cunt still argues about the brakes tomorrow ill take him out and show him that they work maybe demonstrate the lack of grip in 3rd gear aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isnowi Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Check the bushes in the linkage bar from pedal box over to the master cylinder, mine had heaps of play there, assuming that's the type of play the WOF man is talking about.. BTW i have a windscreen wiper motor/mechanism for a dedra/delta if yours ever craaps out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 nah its just pedal 'travel' not play have checked hoses and there not bulging. anyway into the garage to swap pads now see if i can get it done intime for recheck today/multiclub run sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 JEAH! dubuluwe oh effed probably as legit as a jewish bacon sandwitch but oh well repco gave me the wrong pads (suprised much?) so just cleaned them up and bled them through and told the wof guy some dude on the eweb said there always iffy feeling and he passed it booyah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
