Real WD40? If so, you'll be re-doing that the day before Donny then. I hate the stuff because it seems to evaporate after 3 weeks. I prefer silicone lubricant or spray grease.

by **Dico** » Sun 09.03.2008, 19:59

Yeah I figured that might be the case. Thanks for confirming it.
I'll have to get some silicone stuff. I was just feeling super efficient.

What did you use? I am thinking of using car polish as I've failed to find a polish for the wheels here.

It was a stuff called 'Wonder wheels', its supposed to protect the wheels from brake dust. Probably a bit gimicky really, I'm sure normal polish would do.

Give it a couple of years and you'll have the lowest mileage Elan in existence. :-D

You guys just cannot be serious can you?

And I love it!

Shall we bring some life back into the forum lads?

Yes !!!!!

Does this mean a tax disk is in the offing ???

Are you stirring because the Blue Beast is about the only Elan which gets used less that the Medina Queen?

Tax disc --- unlikely. Knowing Dico, he just means that he will start the engine, move the car onto the drive, wait for the fans to cut in then switch off 3 times, then put the car to bed for another few months.
If it ever gets driven properly again, the wastegate will be stuck solid. :mrgreen:

What, Dico has an Elan :shock:

!

I just thought he collected Elan parts :roll:

How are you ? In fact, who are you ?? No one knows who Dico is anymore LOL 'Bout time we reminded a few people who the "Silver Fox" really is :evil:

PS Thought you were an honorary "Porker" these days anyway :?:

Hoping to start the turbo upgrade in the summer (which summer I'm not entirely sure

), and Bobs Hi-specs (all round) some other time.
I'll have to start fitting some parts soon as the shed, garage, greenhouse, garden and wardrobes are now full.

by **texas2201** » Wed 20.05.2009, 12:16

I could be interested Dico - if i sell some cars that is - send me the spec and price - unless you are interested in a swap for either an 04 Turbo diesel Mondeo 48mpg or a Lotus Excel BRG? :-)
