sounds about right to be honest, slightly on the low side but not bad

My KWs are finally going on this week [next at a push]


As some of you may be aware, I have a non starter now, so off she went this week to get looked at 
Sad moment to see her like that!

The process of elimination begins, wish us luck

No alarm needed, I've got heidi pops 


Some material for you 



Oh and last but not least, as some of you may or may not already know, I picked up some summer shoes from Taunton a few weeks back
13 x 7 165/55 compos 

[Dirrt]

Picked her up last night and oh my god  I've missed her so much  G smiles FTW   
Now lowered 125mm all round  There's 5cm from her tummy to the floor, Eek!
I'll get some pictures up shortly...

She's like a little go kart! I've never driven a lowered car before and it so much fun  Low riding FTW! I'm going to give the suspension a week to settle and then the back end will have to come up though!

She's had new battery, plugs, dizzie, new core is it? steering arms and bearings.

List of things to do
- Adjust suspension
- Grooved discs back on
- New fan needed as bearings have gone in mine
So she makes a lovely noise from time to time, actually an embarassing one when sat in traffic or pulling in somewhere heehee 
- Brakes are a must sort, as I'm still not happy with them
Did notice last night though, that I get a light vibration on the brake pedal when braking, what would be causing that? New disc and pads btw.
- She's currently "hootering" on idle from time to time, so that needs to be looked at
Would that be anything to do with stickly throttle that comes and goes or is it a sensor? Or nothing of the sort  I'm a retard 

Still can't decide whether to keep current custom exhaust system  There's actually nothing wrong with mine, I'm just being picky as I really want a Bastuck system   
The sound she makes has actually grown on me   

I went to Cheltenham last night to meets some mates at the cruise, i know haha but it's good for the S1 RST, Starlets, MK1 Escort, Skylines, CRXs etc. I'm actually shocked at how many people don't know what I'm driving and some even think it's a G60  stupid mo fos and it is also funny hearing some chavvy cont going "supercharged polo?" and laughing and then seeing his face when I put my foot down

It's good to be back in the G40 world again, I've missed my car so much!

The vibration through the brake pedal could be caused by disc run out. If the mating face of the hub wasn't completely clean and flat when the new disc is put on it can lead to run out.

Jesus thats low lol get her up a wee bit!

Exhaust looks good btw 

[Dirrt]

Cheers Max  Yeah fingers crossed I'm getting her up Saturday for UD

COMMENTS
Always wanted to own a G40 and when I saw this come up I knew I had to have it. This baby became mine in the beginning of July 2008.  She had a 139K miles and a folder full of service history and receipts.  I remember that drive home like it was yesterday and I had the biggest smile on my face 
My current input into her is approx £4,000  and yup, I'm still going.
I have a love hate relationship with this car as every time I get something fixed, something else fucks up and atm have been very close to giving up, like seriously on a downer about it. Since UD she's losing power when I'm driving and I only just managed to get home that evening, changing gear about 1,000 times to do so and I haven't even touched her since cause I'm proper pissed off
Saying that, she makes my heart do this

So I can't help but love her and the G smiles always make up for it 

I have a few more pictures to follow with coilies on view and custom exhaust pipeages

[busy t]

I hear what your saying about loosing patience, i spent £400 to get mine through MOT and the next week it was broke again. Gotta say though when it's all up and running it's worth it. Nice g.

[Dirrt]
