Hairibo's TD

Post by HAIRIBO »

Well I've finally got my self a TD! !

Picked it up on Saturday, this will be my new daily drive, Some of you's may recognise it, after an hour with hair dryer I removed close on 30 stickers and decals, them t .cut and polished, then fitted my continental booted 15's, I've got some plans for it, got the CV joint to do and swap tim gmax spring's for either standard or eibch. Well hear she is.

I love the colour, And hopefully it would take too long to get this to the point state I want.

It looks good low, But will I be happy with Eibachs? Or should I go standard???

Personally without a bodykit, I'd go standard height. But that's just me. Finish clearing up the rest of the stickers and see how she looks .

I left the those stickers on as underneath those stickers need painting.

Ye I know what you mean about the early SRi bumpers, I also love the look of the black top and bottom and colour coded middle.

Well just had the major service done, and swaped the APex springs for Eibach.

I've got to say the car looks better being slighty higher and feels so much nicer to drive.

Tho on the sad side I've just had to pay £360 for work done at the gargae.

Major service, new front wheel bearings, water pump/ Cambelt kit. Fit front springs and swap steering wheel.

Since fitting the steering wheel the airbag light wont go off, do I have to disconect the battery for a bit?

Could be a few things, Either

A: The airbag on the new steering wheel isnt compatable, unlikely.

B: They haven't plugged the airbag in.

C: Whilst they were swapping wheels they turned the ignition on and so set the airbag light off and now it needs to be reset with a diagnostics machine.


Oh and disconnecting the battery wont do anything, the light will still be on.
