To the 17 plate clio that gave me the mighty car mods chopped finger gesture after almost forcing me into oncoming traffic. It wasn't funny or clever. Not impressed.

Ahaha yes, she genuinely confused me, pointed to my bottle so at first I thought she thought id filled a 250ml bottle up with petrol lol, but then valvemaster is orange, not clear like petrol. She clearly didnt have a clue aha, total BS. Deffo confused her when I mentioned that my valves are too big for unleaded seats.. haha

Will a rev counter from the 3 clock dash work with electronic ignition? E.g. a k series

Cheers guys, hmmm thats strange, imo I would have thought one from a MPI would work on a k series as they are both full injection systems

mpi uses a coil pack and sends a twin signal or summit like that, all other mini just a coil

Good lad. I'm guessing you'll be doing a build thread to show us how it's done
Aug 07 2017 07:12 PM -

There will be a build thread but it will be a painfully slow one as time is not something I have a great deal of this year

Is it possible to get a new wiper seal retaining clip for 7.5" calipers? I attempted to fit one and it got bent :'(

Like these ? http://www.minispares.com/product/Classic/Brakes/Front/Repair_Kits_Pistons/GRK5008.aspx?

Yeah, but for 7.5" calipers and also just the metal cover. I suppose I'll have to buy a new kit... sigh.

Sorry GRK5006 for 7.5 and I don't know anyone who sells just the metal press in piece.

Don’t you love eBay. Just bought and item needed ASAP. Only to be messaged by the seller 3 hours later that they can’t post the item for two weeks. Why bother listing it in the first place? Still if it hasn’t arrived within a week, PayPal it is (again)

I had similar not too long ago with some Pistons, most annoying thing is though he said he had them all packaged up ready, but didn't have time before he went away to post them! What the hell! Lol

I have a couple of large items that are clearly marked as collection only and please do not ask me to send as I do not have the packaging. One idiot bought an item then asked me to pack it up for his carrier & just now another one asked me if I would post to Cornwall.
People are just stupid.
