What did you do in the garage yesterday?

Always amazes me how much your car dips and leans in the corners, I have a couple where you'd can't quite believe the rear tyres haven't lifted off the ground under braking lol
I never asked, did the rear arb make much difference?

Looks Coool mate, gotta get one myself. Is that an alternative to 'not so' speedy cables?

is it difficult to install a AFR meter ?
I'm thinking now I have a new Ecu it will be the icing on the cake and very valuable info.
I didnt fit mine but I managed to stop it working when I changed the dashboard and had to get the wiring diagram out to sort out what I did wrong! I'm thinking now I have a new Ecu it will be the icing on the cake and very valuable info.
Mine replaced the clock, rather than a fresh hole in the dashboard. In terms of connecting it up, it looks reasonably easy to wire in but the sender needs to be fitted to the y piece manifold and new fused connections back to the battery. There are some additional features/wires that may work with your new ecu.

Yup - hence the comment out about it being out of alignment ![wink](/inc/images/wink.gif)

Don't get too hung up on how the wheels sit in the arches Nosh, its how your wheels sit on the chassis that counts.![wink](/inc/images/wink.gif)

It's very common for the body not to be sitting 100% square on the chassis, in fact "a bit on the sqwiff" was the factory standard from new
![frown](/inc/images/frown.gif)
Any tyre to body irregularities should therefore be largely ignored.
TVRs are a very very long way off rivaling Porkers on the fit & finish front

Went outside to fit the replacement brake light switch and promptly dropped the retaining nut down the only drain within a 50 metre radius. ![banghead](/inc/images/banghead.gif)
Spent two hours this evening running around trying unsucessfully to find replacement nut which I think is M12 fine. Can anyone confirm the size please?

Started the fuel hose replacement. Throttle assembly off and paint. Plenum off. Short flexi behind plenum (pressure regulator to U bend) replaced. Vacuumed around the injector bases, always hated seeing rubbish gather down there.
Just waiting for the postman to deliver bits to complete the job
Rocker covers off too, I decided to do a clean up job while I'm in there

Changed one engine mount - need a new nut and bolt after finding them both cross threaded....
Cleaned and stone chipped the two front ARB brackets.
Discovered the discs I got as part of my cossie upgrade were the wrong discs - grrrr.......
Found the cause of my strange engine noise - tension pulley bearing gone...

I used these Phil K nuts
Nylocks not very effective anyway with all the heat IMO similar to these and widely available for exhaust fittings etc http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MANIFOLD-NUTS-COPPER-FLA...
