well after some abuse my clutch is starting to slip
so im getting one priced up of a mate
then thrusday when ive got day off im getting it done
so im praying to the weather gods
well im doing it no matter the weather
as im under the car anyway

They are ridiculously simple to adjust so if you haven't tried that give it a go first.

herm not realy thought of that as its been abused pretty bad clutch wise sorry car
its worth a shot thanks magnumpi

Haha fair enough. Simply jack the front passenger side up (support on axle stands) slide underneath to the bell housing, pop the rubber dust boot off. You can now see the clutch cable adjuster, undo the locking nut and adjust it. Reverse the process and you are done.

ive done what you said and it does feel better
but i just dont trust it know im going to swap it as its not much for a new one
and it snot a hard job thanks

well spent today at college doing my clutch
what a ball ache but at least its done
my clutch is now right down at the bottom that takes some getting used to

i was told changing the clutch would take more than 1 hour to change?

well after my clutch let go ive been busy
i took me about 5 hours to change a clutch because of 6 allen key bolts that hold the rear engine mounts were
seezed solid took a good hour and half to get them out if or when i do it again
it wont take no were near as long as theres no allen key bolts know and all new bolts have got copper grease on them
so hopefully i wont take as long and i know what im doing know
anyway i forgot to take camera with me when doing the clucth
ive also spent another hour or so on the old tank yes ive stripped the interior out no one can get in back with those seats so out it came all carfully stored in the garage also took the crome strip of around the bumper
anyway some pics

take a look at this guys and see what you reckon happened
and a little clue its goin back together with a new head gasket so will run again
some pics

I can't quite make out what's dinged the top edge of the piston there

Hope the engine isn't being turned with the liners loose


two is good for me...

some folk like to use four!

nar the engine isnt being turned i know about the liners
and a bolt got loose some how and worked its way through the engine
and smacked the piston and head luckly no majour damage done
just raining today so catn put it back together

well after a long time without updates ive finally remember to do it while im on comp
anyway ive lowered the front of the car as much as it can go on standard dampers
i refilled them with some engine oil i had left over from service
fitted side exit as the back box fell off going over a rail road crossing
stripped out more weight and weighted the car at 920kg
just need to make some 3" lowering blocks for rear as it dont sit level and more mabey paint rims if
i can find a colour that suits the car anyway some pics


and started making my own very cheap hydraulic handbrake just need a lever and some piping bits and that will be in

Looks a hundred times fitter with the front low dude.
Likey a lot.

Can you get a decent pic if the side exit with the car on the ground?

Personally, Id leave those rims well alone unless theyre peeling. I think they look the part as they are.

yer thanks and pic just took some fresh ones
and im think gun metal grey as there pretty abused wheels

after looking at the rear of my car thinking its not low enough
so out came the welder and the grinder and i made some 3" lowering blocks 1" bigger than what was on
came out all right just the car dont sit even as the n/s leaf spring hasnt worn the same as the o/s one

the cool side realy need some fresh leaf springs
