    Walker's Gordini - Number 8

    Cleared my garage out and moved some stuff around (and hung stuff up) over the last few days to create space to get the car in! It's a big garage so plenty of space and I've managed to maintain nearly all of my gym space which is a plus! Should be able to tinker and maintain under cover now...

    Walker's Gordini - Number 8

    Cheers mate. I loved this as soon as I saw it! I don't know to be honest.. they came with the wheels! I know they're different to the ones on my other wheels as they've got the silver edging on them. The colour is the same as the wheels.

    Clio 200 vs Lotus Elise

    In terms of acceleration any Elise would be quicker than a standard ish 200, but it would also depend on the model and engine in the Elise as the supercharged ones would be much quicker for example.. so it depends which one you're looking at? I can only compare from my own experience having...

    Put the new wheels on to see what they look like and I must admit I do like them! Not sure about the Gordini white mirrors and blade with them though.. thoughts? Sent from my BLA-L09 using Tapatalk

    Walker's Gordini - Number 8

    Picked these wheels up yesterday for a good price off one of the FB groups.. they're not too bad condition wise and probably better than my Gordini's! I do like the look of these standard alloys as well.. Just need to clean them up nicely. They've got Uniroyal Rainsports on them with 2...

    Walker's Gordini - Number 8

    Back from holiday now last night with a filthy car thanks to the Mrs and Kids [emoji85]. So a few jobs today starting with cleaning inside and out. I absolutely hate washing my own cars and despite loving this one it hasn't made me enjoy it anymore and I never seem to be able to get it very...

    Trackspec Clio 197

    Nice work on the calipers. I need to get mine off and do them properly but it's beyond my skills and there's no guide on here currently! The new dials look great! Let me know how much as well please

    Labour for suspension springs change

    Yeah this is the reason I opted to replace with Coilovers rather than springs so I only have to outlay this labour charge once!

    Car Ownership History

    Since we came up we've been seriously considering moving up there but we're not sure! Yeah that road is amazing, but wasn't so clever mid winter snowy with a fully loaded Passat lol. I can feel the need for a summer trip up there now [emoji848] Sent from my BLA-L09 using Tapatalk

    Walker's Gordini - Number 8

    Thanks Pav. Yeah lots done and it does feel great now to the point where it feels 'finished' for now anyway! I can't help thinking about an Akropovic down the line though The car is a daily for now as we're trying to save to move house but once that's sorted it might be that I have it as a...

    Walker's Gordini - Number 8

    Thanks! Yeah I did a lot of research into pads and I've read bad things about the DS2500 as well, alot of dust, crumbling around the edges and poor performance on the road as well as noise so wouldn't be my first choice although I've read alot on here have them.. And I've also read great...

    Walker's Gordini - Number 8

    Cheers. Yeah you said on my other thread! I'm with you and do like the wheels as standard but they could do with tidying up, I think it probably could be done at a decent place to keep them standard but will have to get it priced up.. I'm not a fan of the Speedlines at all to be honest, I prefer...

    Car Ownership History

    Ha I did ask, love the reply though! I've not gone into listing mine yet but the story isn't as interesting as yours. And I've not included my bikes & scooters of which I've had 11! A classic mini is definitely still on my list of cars I want to own and I will get one at some point, my favourite...

    Walker's Gordini - Number 8

    I'm away at our caravan in Burgh Le Marsh, just outside Skegness, currently and was hoping to do my first track day at Cadwell whilst down here but it's not going to happen now with the outlay I've had! I took my little boy to BSB there on Sunday and it was awesome, I've not been in at least 10...
