My J Plate Sportline - Build Thread

Looks fantastic.

The COTM sportline is looking really well at the mo. Keep up the good work...

Thanks Guys, its got an annoying start up issue from cold at mo, some times starts first time, othertimes starts but runs funny for a bit till warm, but once warm drives 100%, so need to look into WUR, cold start valve and injectors etc, but leaving that till after Christmas

Cheers

Rich

My bet is an injector that is not always closing off properly and dribbling fuel into the block

Good deal on the badges Rich and they look great.

Car gleaming as usual.

What u doing with the wheels/suspension ?

Are you still keeping the RM's and are u trying a wee drop ??

Congrats on COTM mate !!!

Gona probably keep them for next summer season then decide whether i wana refurb standard rims and go back to standard look.

Cant do anything with height on back without arch mod's but may try and drop front 30-40mm eventually

My bet is an injector that is not always closing off properly and dribbling fuel into the block

Ade, how did you say i check for that ?

Thanks

Rich

Hi Rich,

Get a new set of injector o rings.

Pull the injectors out and put them in jam jars, leave them overnight and check for fuel - there should be none !!

and to go with the 1:1 Scale sportline, a 1:18 one :-)

looking good Richy, you make red sportlines look very special indeed !

Well winters come and gone so time to get ready for the new show season :-).

I have a new set of o ring seals to be fitted soon, but this week i finally sorted out the 4x4 ride height and i am really happy with how its sits

here's some pics, cheers Rich

Looking much better mate.

You must be delighted.

With looking at your pics, I'm not going to bother with the BBS rm's.

I think they will be last on my long list.

I will spend the pennies on lots of other things on the car.

Your car looking very nice rich keep up the good work.

Spot on Rich  

Cheers Guys, yeah much happier with the look, think im gona run the BBS RM for this year, get the original wheels refurbed and the decide what i want to do wheel wise then :-)

here's another couple of pics

Before



After

Very nice Richy.    

Keep both Rich, RM's for shows RA's for pose :-)

Not a bad shout Chris ;-)

ok, had a bit of time today so did a few bits

First was a new gear stick gaitor, handbrake handle cover and matching covers for the seat belt stalks















I also picked up what I think it a polo GT wheel at Stanford hall the other week. Its not leather like the Euro sportline steering wheel, but till I have the funds for one I thought I would try this one and see what I think. I popped the silver plastic piece of and painted it RED, cleaned the whole wheel up and fitted it





also after massbad giving me the heads up on the magnicore leads that were for sale on forum the other day, I had to have them as well :-)

It's all looking good Rich :-)

I'm watching the leather gear you just bought on eBay just now and I am thinking about buying it !!

Is it good quality and easy to put on ?

yeah quality is good, bit fiddly to fit and get old clips off that holds original on but bit of patience and I did it without cutting myself which makes a change lol
