  3. Happy Anniversary Japmodelkits.co.uk!

  4. Its was a 12 point socket, I have no 6 point ones are they much better for not slipping Just paid £60 for a halfords one, wish I had seen the teng 6 point set now Its a set screw not a bolt I have ordered one of the sets from the link so that might work
  5. Hi guys I have a rounded bolt on one of my rear Calipers, it's the bottom one of the two back bolts that remove the caplier It's so rounded I the socket just spins and I made it worse using a long breaker bar So what's the best way to remove it and how? Thanks

  7. what do you think about this, looks like the titanic but these and brakes are the only rusty bits none underneath that i can see, how much will will these bits cost and whats the name of the parts
  8. i got that far on 2 wheels and they spun freely so will check the other side when i get it back out the garage next week is the clutch adjustable? i have just found out the car has been sat for at least 5 years so is it possible the clutch could have surface rust on like the brakes as these are bad
  9. I can roll the car forward by pushing so bot sure anything is seized causing the struggle to pull away but a rear tyre is flat bite point is right at the top of the pedal too so not sure about ABS light, could this be a dead sensor?
  10. Hi Guys, My gen 6 GT i bought on ebay was delivered by the recovery truck last night, fist thing i notice is the ABS light is on and the discs are rusty as its been sitting over winter maybe longer. it really struggles to pull off or drive at all so at first i thought the clutch was gone now i am thinking its the rust on the discs but i took it up the road and did not think i would make it back, also a smell of burning someone said i could be surface rust on the clutch and just need freeing up, same with the hand brake ? i cant really drive it about as of no MOT or tax & insurance at the moment also would the rust cause ABS light to be on

  12. There is a body repair course in London available that includes spraying, can't remember where though If I remember tomorrow I will have a look, it was an evening course at a college, they also had a 3 day a week one but as you work that's not possible
  13. Mainly when lifting off but in 1st and 2nd I have slight jolting/kargarooing during traffic situations yes Should i be worried
  14. Do you guys have aftermarket exhausts, maybe this is the cause as myne was fine last week, I'm getting lots of jolting when moving slowly in tragic in 1st and 2nd too
  15. Yes that's it about half to one second delay but myne has got worse since putting the HKS on, is yours just up to 3rd gear then not so bad. Do you think upgrading the panel filter will make this better or worse?
  16. I've had the car 4 months, so had nothing done yet not even a service which i will get soon. The jolt Is not bad just annoying that it's not smooth when letting off. Is everyone elses smooth when taking your foot off in second gear at about 3k
  17. Do you think it needs replacing as it's noisy, is it expensive Also would it cause the jolting when lifting off the accelerator Thanks
  18. Hi guys, What is the belt to the left side of the engine as my one is really screaming in the morning and squeaking all the time Thought it was timing belt but gen 7 has a chain i think I put up a thread about getting a jolt when lifting off the accelerator so could the belt be the cause Thanks
  19. Last week I notched a slight jolt when lifting off in 2nd Put a HKS silent power exhaust on at the weekend and all this week it seems much worse Mainly notice it up to 3rd gear, when letting the accelerator up there is about a second delay then it jolts....it might be that the exhaust has put a slight delay to the revs slowing the car down Any one else get the jolting, is it normal I always use the gears to slow down so I am sure I would have noticed before Timing belt Is very noisy latley and squeaking so could it be that too as I read that can cause a jolt. Thanks for any help
  20. I dont really like the lip either, makes them look smaller too. But i do really like the gloss white and spoke style smooth look is good...the way forward actually i think, nothing wrong with a small bit of rally shlaaaag though....exept from those stupid flappy mud flaps people stick on
  21. KEI is quite good, just depends what you like and as long as you stick with better known brands you will get good quality i like the force 10s too, they would suit the 7 nicely especially if you lower it 30mm i think the average 17" wheel is over 11kg+, light weight 17s usually from 7 to 9 and a bit less if you spend more here is team dynamics pro race 1.2 17s weights 7.0 x 17 from 7.9kgs (17.3lbs) 7.5 x 17 from 8.2kgs (18.0lbs) 8.0 x 17 from 9.0kgs (19.8lbs) 9.0 x 17 from 9.5kgs (20.0lbs) i would like the pro race 1.2 17s in white for my red gen 7
  22. Looking great, your car looks spotless too....smooth
  23. Could be a scam, I found one like that on pistonheads, I emailed the seller and they said they was in australia on a business trip and need the money to finance it further, they then said piston heads are holding the car and once I pay the car will be delivered to my house with 24 hours to return it if I am unhappy Yea rite Best way to find out is contact them and see if they will actually let you veiw the car if not it's a scam If it's too good to be true....usually is Or it's done near 200k miles
