Either autoglym tar remover or Autosmart tardis if it's tar spots and then a clay bar before polishing

[Rob_Cool1]

How much is a half decent clay bar? Not gana have an awful lot of spare cash for the rest of the month when she gets tax lol

Insurance company has really screwed things up for me the quote I got 2 days ago to insure both vectra and Honda under a multi car discount etc for 1800 a year, 200 less than just the vectra has somehow disappeared?!
That and they won't match the price the originally gave me but now saying it's gana be around 3k to insure them both

Stuck with what to do now, I've got 3 days off so hopefully I cam sort it out with another company or it looks like il be back to just the lude ...... Hopefully she'll treat me well and nothing major will go wrong haha

Bit of a downer to everythings that's just happened oh well lol I'm sure il sort something out

oh it was all going sooooo well, had a couple of great car meets and some real good comments on the lude, but last night after coming back from a Honda meet.... the clutch decided to pack up again. I think it might be the cable as it's already stretched and had no more adjustment left so im going to change that first as it still disengages but not fully.

Unlike last time where i couldnt disengage it at all and the pedal got stuck, it goes all the way down but the clutch is still half on and judders a lot so im hoping a new cable (which will turn up tomorrow) will cure it lol.
If not and the clutch does need another change!!! im going to take the engine out or tow it to work this time!
I'm looking at either an exedy clutch kit (im assuming this is the one benny had which gave him problems)?

Or maybe a panther stage 1 clutch, just to cope with the extra power it has?

I'm also going to have to buy a new wing mirror cos some idiot thought it would be funny to snap mine off -.- £35 for a new pair from like Thailand or somewhere but atleast then i can have them on both sides maybe :/ but for now i araldited it on so all i can pretty much see is myself but atleast its legal!




Anyway, here are some new pics i have of her from the Honda in south meet and out n about






I thought i'd paint in the letters


Spot the ludes





not anything lude related but there was a sick honda shuttle i loved it so much! so old school!



i will get back to you when i find out if the clutch cables worked or not :/ annoying she hasnt been on the road for a week yet!! but life goes on!

Pretty sure its the clutch has gone as it a still the same
Going to have to wait till next week for payday till I can buy another one, probably go with the exedy one and tow the car to work and fit it, not doin it at home again!
Il update soon when something happens, she's all covered up now from the bad weather atm

Not what I was hoping for, can't really afford to keep throwing money at her for things that keep going wrong :/

Anyway il update you all soon guys n girls

[wurlycorner]

Oh mate, gutted for you - that's ridiculous if the clutch has gone! How long has that been on there and what clutch is it?

[NafemanNathan]

Certainly have to admire your determination to succeed with this car. Most would have slapped it on eBay ages ago!

[jjmartin349571]

can't believe the clutch has gone again mate. I'm worried about the cheapy one I slapped in mine now Hope you get it sorted soon buddy - at least the weather is better than it was last time
