Car goes in for paint monday. As well as new phat bridgestones

tomaky · January 9, 2018, 18:22

So. Since the tyres and paint ive carried piling miles on it.
I always intended on getting it checked over by a specialist, i did this at the start of november, went in for a look over, minor service and a MOT. We found lots of little things that needed fixing. First it failed on emissions, this was due to missing 4 exhaust clamps making it run lean. Secondly it failed on hand brake. It appeared that the drivers side had seized up, that was sorted and new shoes. Then we threw 4 disk and pads at her. Next issue the shocks and springs fitted last jan hadnt been fitted correctly they were missing a spacer, all came out and went back in correctly. Final issue the passenger door window would drop upon opening the door but not go up without my invention.
Had that fixed.
Think thats pretty much it so far. Now those who know will know that i generally do it all myself, unfortunately due to the mr2 ive no space in the garage nor did i have the time. This being said there was a very large labour bill from the above. All is sorted now and she drives like a dream.

If it's anything like my 964 was it will be a dirty, fat expensive porker!

tomaky · January 9, 2018, 20:33

I fully understand the time versus cost equation Tom.
Time is so much more precious.

Glad to see you are enjoying the car. :-) :-) :-)

Hey Tomaky welcome to the No Exhaust Clamp Club! I had a 03 and 53 facelift boxsters, the 03 one with full glass palace service history had NO clamps on the exhaust, the 53 one with 37k miles had 2 missing the remaining ones fell to bits when I touched them! I think they are made of Marzipan. Find a good independent specialist steer clear of the glass palaces. don't know where you live but I travelled from Wales to Wigan to let Cath Burrows look after my porkies shes good must be she has a 996 Ducati and a Pangale cheers greybeard.

tomaky · February 10, 2018, 18:32

Heard alot of good stuff abput Cath. I was thinking Darren King next.
Im in barrow so about hour and half NW of wigan. The car went to 9meister in warrigton in november. Work was good but labour cost nailed me. Wish id used Cath or Darren.
Someone has fitted some big black tips and just not replaced the clamps.
Hoping my next mod is either a carnewal exhaust or maybe a topgear valved system.

greybeardgt · February 11, 2018, 16:51

Hi Tomaky Cath Burrows is a few miles north of Wigan at Standish just off the M6 Big service on the porkie cost about £3oo she fitted a new Aux drive belt for about £17. have a look at her web site cheers greybeardgt.

tomaky · February 12, 2018, 19:43

Hoping to get exhaust on in the next 2 weeks.
Going to try get the blue mr2 rolling and get it out of the garage.

tomaky · March 26, 2018, 11:05

Been firing miles on as usual. Exhaust it amazing. Currently parked the car up for a week. Doing a full clean/cut/polish/sealant.
While it's in the garage. Swapping side light bulbs for leds. Changing a susp arm with a tired Bush, replacing the window regulator on my side. Also had a dint knocked out that some lovely so and so kindly gave me.
