The Bronze Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 So, started draining the tank. And then I'm looking at it and thinking, and realising that the leak is odd, given i resealed the tank. And I ponder it a bit, and look at it some more once I get the tank drained a bit. And now you see what I see... So I tipped the now mostly empty tank on an angle and all the petrol is pushing on the sender seal... That's right, once again a Rarespares replacement part is a complete bag of fucking shit, and the new sender seal isn't actually sealing. Anyone got a recommendation on the right sealer to put on this to hold the fuel in, because i really don't want to be covered in petrol anymore. Thank you kindly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bronze Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 205/70 or 205/75 tyres? It's slammed pretty low, so I'm thinking the extra 10mm of sidewall could help stay on the right of legal and bumps, but it could also guard rub.

The Bronze Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 Tank seems sealed. Replaced Tierods, inner and outer, but seems like the replacements I got were about 0.8 -1.2mm smaller and didn't fucking work, so wasted a day and all out of whack now from disassembly/reassembly and didn't get to the alignment place in time for the WOF before Xmas I had planned. Still, looks fucking dope. Any protips on getting it reasonably straight and driveable alignment wise I can do myself before getting it dialled in properly? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Bronze Posted December 29, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2017 Grew some balls. Drove it up West Coast Road to home. Made it. Everything but a wof. Calling that a tick on the goals for the year. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bronze Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 I'm thinking about selling this. Had a wof. Reasons it might not get the next. Headlights aren't working. Don't know why. Suspect switch. RH rear outer door handle is jammed. These things went bung since last wof. Can't remember when that was. I suspect last Summer. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
