Update 4

Well today its time for an update!

As the cars ticked over 115k it was time for an oil change and a new filter.
Change wasnt due for another 800 miles (116k) but as i had the bits,a day off and the offer of using a mates ramp i thought why the hell not!!!! Im keeping with Gwyn's maticulous use of a new Pug filter and Mobil Super 1 10w40 to keep her running smooth

Arrived at my mates place and got to work and was all done in 20 mins (no pics as i think every one now what an oil change looks like).

While it was on the ramp we give it a good looking over before its MOT next month.

She's all good due to Gwyns love and deep wallet and Carls work except for one thing.............................................................................................

The Rallye has got a 1" square patch/hole of rust on one of the chassis legs that run along the floor!

That is being sorted next weekend along with a worn Gearbox mount as there seems to be a bit too much movement from the engine under accelaration,coming off the gas.Also treating her to this




It's one of Miles' uprated engine mounts.took it off the Vile that i broke a few weeks ago and is in great nick so hopefully this will also help reduce the engine movement

Also she's got a phase 3 parcel shelf fitted and a phase 3 handbrake but ive forgotten to take pics of this

Pulley is still on engine atm but my end up on the Rallye

Update 5

Well i've been buying shiny shiny things for the Rallye,said i was going to keep it standard and to a degree i am!

There seems to be alot of play in the engine mounts so ive got the Miles/Pugracing upper engine mount and i bought a new gen gearbox mount from Pug.

popped down to the local stealers on a Sat morning and to my suprise they have one in stock!

the ones you sold me not good enough then

Update 7

Well ive reached 5 years no claims somehow and as there was only 2 months of my policy left i couldnt be bothered to put my plate on the 6 and be charged a admin fee.

So today finally i have my private plate on the Wallye




Next week the mot runs out so i shall be taking so time off work to do a few little jobs before hopefully getting a next ticket for another year

Decided also to remove the Sebring system as its too loud for me so im on the look out for a mint standard system if anyone can help?

Yes full system inc decat mate

Awesome, any problems?

Did you manage to measure the Sebring exhaust in the end?

Update 9

Well been a full 2 months without an update so time for one

Not alots happened really,just driven her a little and no mods until Friday just gone.

As previously mentioned i was not liking the Sebring system fitted to the wallye and as on the look out for a standard system.

Managed to get everything i needed and find a buyer for the Sebring whom i met at Combe yesterday so Friday i had to change the exhausts over and wash the car.

Heres a few pics

My mate "Big Will" helping me change the exhausts over


A before of the Sebring Tooter


And an after of the standard system on there



Haven't cleaned the car since the last update in Feb so her she is after a few hours loving with the polish and wax



And tbh the exhaust change and clean have made me fall back in with her so im keeping here until next year.future plans include getting rid of the "shadow chrome" Cyclones for some standard shiny silver ones and a respray on the bonnet/wings to get rid of the stonechips

Ash

Looking good Ash.

You didn't want me to buy the Sebring then?
