  1. I need this in my life! If my car doesn't go this weekend you may have pm ;) if it's still around by then!
  2. @Socks What about if we could find someone else willing to do the extra work?? Is that a possible solution for it? Or how about even making up a "goodie bag" to purchase from the shop, including air freshner,sticker etc etc?
  3. Hmm i'm a little undecided on what i want to do with it now! As I want a new set of wheels.. (Renault turbines) And waiting to get them!
  4. By law you have 7 day cooling off period wether private, dealership or main branch dealership!.. explain the problem to him.. see what he says! see if he offers you any sort of solution! In the mean time, get on to trading standards and they will tell you exactly where you stand etc etc! And failing all of that, get your self over to warranty direct.. see if those guys can help you out! cheap warranty.. but of course dont explain whats wrong just ask them whens the soonest you can claim etc etc! Might be worth a try?
  5. 1-9pm Monday - Friday sitting on my arse watching tv, drinking tea and on here ;)
  6. It's on FaceBook, I would link you but don't have access to FB in work! Apart from the minor issues, it's a lovely car! tidy inside and out! pulls well! I think the clutch may be on its way out as i test drove it and it seemed strange.. but it has a racing clutch apparently!
  7. Has only owned it since May 6th, but previous two owners "ragged it" it's had several turbo's and if i remember correctly it's had atleast 1 rebuild!! Let alone plenty of other parts!
  8. I am an insurance agent... (Waits for the hatred)... And one thing I know for sure is no matter what happens, if the v5 is in your name, it's your responsibility to have it correct!, as even if you insure it as for example a gt turbo, but on the log book it's a 1.3 sportiff, they will sting you in the rear! Believe me!, (I do it as my job, I'm a claims assessor) the more money we save (dont pay out) the better for the company as you expect.. So basically, if there is any flaws with it.l I.e your name wrong on the insurance documents, your address wrong, DOB out even by a day... They w
  9. I don't know lol, just saw it and It looks amazing! :-p
  10. http://www.swapz.co.uk/swapz/3647125/mint_condition_47_000mile_ep70_starlet/ Maybe wrong forum... But damn! That thing is a minter!!!
  11. Soaking them all in diesel usually does the trick! had to do that on my BC's on my civic! they were not moving for hell or high water! We spent 3 days trying with everything else, soaked them over night, next morning washed them off and boom! Like new again!!
  12. Welcome along!, check for rust around arches, check floor and matts for leaks or damp, also check boot for any signs of damp!, don't be afraid to pull the boot liner up and have a good nose around! Check all electrics,(windows, mirrors wipers, lights, interior light), general check of everything running right, Don't forget cold starts.. Make sure when you get there the car is cold.. If its warm then delay them as much as possible then start from cold.. Check underneath if you can, again for rust etc etc. Check all dash lights are working correctly, handbrake seatbelt door open.. C
  13. Just googled it and thought the same, lol seems to be an important race car driver too? ;), special edition car? Race set up? ;) haha
  14. Not a clue what this is? But hopefully someone will know??
  15. Ouuucchhh 1.50!!!!!!!
  16. Lol.. investigation or not.. I remember the whole "Price of oil has dropped by $100 a drum".. Everyone thought yipeeeee fuel will go down! WHAT A LOAD OF HORSE MANURE! in fact if i remember correctly it went up about 3p a litre!! It is slowly coming down though! SLOWLY.. It's been at 128.9p per litre for about a month now.. everywhere else is 132.9-137.9p per litre!
  17. Haha Now the next step, is to find a FMIC with all piping.. I think im going to go second hand to begin with.. Just for now anyways while i save up for the next part of my venture! Then Obviously get that plumbed in and a few other goodies! then start my build thread Is it really as easy as remove top mount and pipe work, fit fmic and just work in the pipe work? and then top up fluids again obviously?
