think thats going to be my plan love the alloys not as if im going to copy 

[tsr_adi]

Don't worry about it, I sold it a long time ago and it got written off about a year ago by a police car!

I take it all back. That looks awesome on estorells.

Clear coat is used to seal the paint and to add to the shine. Without clear coat the wheels will be a pain to clean and the paint will mark easily.

[GrandMstRamRod]

really dude sorry to hear that looks rather sweet! 

so is clear coat just laquer that you would used on body work or different!

[tsr_adi]

yea same thing mate, although I will warn you, however awesome the white estorils looked on my old vento, they were VERY difficult to keep clean! I think I used about 2 coats of etch primer, 4 coats of gloss white and 4 coats of laquer, and as you can see, they came up rather well

these codes mean!
00530 butterfly valve placing he/potentiometers -G88
00518 butterfly valve potentiometers -G69
01087 basic adjustment not accomplished

[GrandMstRamRod]

basically short story is, cleaned the throttle body, and the motor siezed up on the back so the engine ideled for 30 seconds when started up then revs would build up to 2 thousand and 3 thousand and stay inbetween theses two amounds dropping then going back up again, i knew this was broke as the butterfly valve was jammed open by the motor, when unplugging the cable ontop of the throttle body it would idel correctly.

so i buy one of ebay!

fit this new throttle body today and got these error codes

00530 butterfly valve placing he/potentiometers -G88
00518 butterfly valve potentiometers -G69
01087 basic adjustment not accomplished



fitted the new throttle body and put everything back together with the new throttle body, started it after a few
false starts to build up the pressure in the fuel line, and started perfectly after about 10 mins of running same
thing again revs automaticall build up to between 2000 and 3000 and drops and builds up again, if i disconnect
the cable on the top of the throttle body the engine dies as the ecu thinks there is no engine and stops fueling the
engine, so that is difrrent to the last one but the revs keep building up without me pressing the pedal

it has been 2 weeks know and im rather pissed off with it, anyone got any idea please!

[GrandMstRamRod]

recently nothing has changed due to a garage f**king me about, and telling me something was wrong when it wasn't i ran up a £320 bill for what was a £14.40 part.

which went on the credit card so currently i have to put sooooo much money onto that i havent been able to change anythingg!

but im not gonna stop few plans in the new year!

so sorry for not providing regular updates!

[GrandMstRamRod]

plans for 2011
i been having a few ideas and thinking what to do in 2011 my plans are as follows some feedback would be good to see what you guys think!

- vento front end grill and headlamps
- obviously some coilovers
- paint alloys as of doing this on budget
- roller car mat black or roller same storm grey!

so what should i do!

[shepgti]

just waste as little money as possible on it. whack some coilovers on it (keep the old shocks so you can put them back on when you get rid) dont bother with a vento front as ventos are sh!t and a vento front mk3 is even sh!tter (my opinon, scene queens will hate..)

go for a matt camo green!


out of intrest what brewery/pub are you manager of at 19..?
