Earlier that night I was walking into halfords to get a new air freshner when I saw a Mondeo reversing very quick towards my car, he said he did not see the car as i parked up as he was sat in there. Will never understand how someone can not see a multicoloured car but I'm glad it was minor and cost me a tenner for a new headlight, he gave me £60 for damages so can't really complain but I wish it never happene can't leave the car anywhere now....

Also need some advice, where does this wire go? I thought it was for the electronic speedo but the plugs totally different, and I can't find the electronic speedo cable either if anyone can help??

Thanks!!

looking awesome man! 8-) shame about the headlight, however lucky as it could have been much worse!

Also you've had a shit load of snow! Had bugger all down here :( haha

Looks like the plug for the coolant temp sensor... May be wrong though

This polo is awesome but that mk1 fiesta on the 1st page <3

Cheers buddy, I do miss the fiesta but it nearly cost me my liscence and its cost me £1700 in court and solicitor fees :/

Not the CTS that's a square 4 pin plug.

Does look like the speedo plug, but there are two types of connectors used, one like that and the other with a rounded end one end and square the other like an extended "D" shape Can you see the wire colours? Black/Grey, White/Blue & Brown are the speedo ones

Yeah that's the one, guessing I need the different plug then? Cheers

Can't wait to put them on!! Next on the list is the subframes for the seats :)

Multi coloured Ronal turbos! Awesome 8-)

Always liked these. Would be the 6N i'd have.

those wheels should look sweet on

Can't wait to see it on the Ronals!

Niiiiice, get em on!

those ronals look plain silly, awesome!!! can't wait to see them on tom, will be insane :nod:

what widths are the ronals and what tyre sizes you looking to get?

Glad to see you've brought her back to life

was a good few years ago when i did this conversion but the owner wanted to do everything for no money and refused to spend the last few quid finishing it off.

good to see it back in action :)

Must of drove the car about 150-200 miles yesterday doing errands, picking stuff up and going to meets. she was fine all day until i dropped a mate off and pulled out of his road on full lock i heard a knock. now everytime i let off the throttle or slow down i get a very loud knocking sounds like the wheel is loose.

i pulled over and checked what i could on the side of the road.wheelnuts, topmounts, anti rollbar etc but nothing seemed out of place. I'm gonna get her jacked up in the next few hours and check the cv joint, bushes, balljoints etc is there anything i need to look out for?

driveshaft nut and driveshaft bolts on box flange

Looks suitably ridiculous on the new rims, nice work ;)

I want it!!.

Looks amazing. Good work, if you ever sell give me first refusal :D

  • Author

Thanks guys, I've had her apart today and cant find any play anywhere but what i did find was a split cv gator so I'm thinking the cv joint has run dry ??

its constantly knocking now it stops knocking if i accelerate and it stops at certain speeds, its ridiculously loud so loud it turns heads and i can feel it through the car.

on the lookout for a driveshaft now

My Favourite 6n on here i think. Brilliant
