Walker's Gordini - Number 8

[Big Ben]

It's Malta blue [emoji12] but yeah I do like the blue and anthracite

I'm still undecided on them.. might just leave them [emoji848]

Haha my bad!! Don’t think I’ve seen one in the flesh so I’m using that as my excuse

Cheers! Might just have to get my Gordini wheels done the same..
Shims or spacers??

shims for the rear, 10mm from pure motorsport... spacers adversely affect the handling on the front and wheel bearings in the wrong way all round

Having a space to store our babies is priceless...

This came today, looks great! Thanks to @trackspec197 for the tip!

I'll have to find the time and work out how to fit it now haha.

Quite a straight forward job if you’ve got some trim removal tools.

There’s a how to guide on here about removing clocks. Came in very handy when I did mine

Very cool

New Gordini dials fitted! Didn't take that long, just a bit of faffing about..

Probably no more spending on it for a bit as I need to find out what's making this noise and get it sorted as I want to do some track days soon..!

It's fixed! Auxiliary/drive belt was fucked! So I've followed the guide and swapped it for a new one and surprise the noise has gone! £19 Now to sort a track day or 2 before Xmas...

What's annoying is that I bought the car from an Arnold Clark in May and they supposedly changed the cambelt.. why on earth would they not change this as well?? The rubber was perished all over. Makes me dubious about the cambelt now.. I was already annoyed at the state of the discs.. think I might have to contact them to complain.

glad you managed to find out the issue..some people dont do it as part of cam belt change..dont ask me why..i dont get it either..so easy and cheap..

looking at that i would be checking to make sure it has a new cambelt fitted!!!

So nothing new mod wise in the last month.. but the Gordini sailed through its MOT last week with no advisories at all [emoji108]

I've done 6k miles now since I got the car so I've just this morning done an interim oil change. I was going to have a look at getting under it to do it via the sump plug and change the filter but for this one I decided to go for a dipstick vacuum pump for ease instead. The garage will do the filter etc at 12k anyway.

Took hardly any time and pretty much got all the 5.2l out. Cost me less to do it this way than taking it somewhere and I've got the kit forever now as well [emoji106]
