Please tell me you're not going to drift the nuts off it, paint the bonnet Matt Black, slam it to the floor, knacker the engine, then sell whats left of it on eBay for a totally ridiculous price?

Hi Rorie, I had no doubt it would get you home. As I said its a sound car and v.reliable.

Dished minilites would look good on a 2" drop but I think the standard wheels fully polished and lacquered with sum smaller sidewalls would look amazing. But thats just me!

Best of luck - keep us updated.

Minilites on that would look well cool.

Sorry if I sounded a bit narky in my previous post, we've all seen absolute minters getting trashed in the name of drifting.... if you'd have wanted a tatty one for thrashing you coulda have mine LOL :)

I wouldn't ever doubt a 360 getting me anywhere :) Minus the rust my 360 saloon was the most reliable car I've ever had over 4 years and 30,000 miles

A low-mileage GLT saloon ... hen's teeth?

Enjoy your car, but I'm really hoping it won't die a quick drift death :-(

Almost certainly the radiator is knackered...i.e. missing most of its fins. Very common at this age. Check eBay for replacements...but make sure it's for a 360!

it was loose to the point were the front crank pulley bolt fell out and i had to drive hoe, get the misses car and go back at 11pm and find them, i couldnt see me getting one of those for christmas so now i will have a look i think there maybe a woodruff key missing and then lock tite and do it up very tite, should work :D

You shouldn't need to loctite it, even with no woodruff key. Just do it up properly. It's surprisingly easy to not torque it highly enough "by hand".

I have spare pulleys, bolts, etc, if you're stuck.

cheers

its all sorted now i think theres a knob on the crank shaft missing or something, the loctite was just to make sure it didnt come loose and it hasnt, so its doing its job, i dont work on many cars (truck mechanic) so didnt know what to expext but shes running well :D
