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!

To suit ct9 or td04/5?

@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?

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!

I need this!

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?

1-9pm Monday - Friday sitting on my arse watching tv, drinking tea and on here ;)

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!

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!

What happened to me dude??...

Shotgun on Catch can ;)

Pm'd

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 will not pay out.. Or atleast will do their best not too!

Basically just be savvy... Spend an hour or so of your time, read up things which are readily available on the Internet!

Few tips for you all to consider when renewing, or even to consider stating to your insurance now ;)

1 - as of December 20th or 21st 2012, the law states that motor insurance must now be gender neutral (equality and diversity etc etc) basically means if you had a twin sister that's the same age, lives in the same house has the same job and same car then you will be EXACTLY the same premium...

So what I'm getting at is the fact you will have paid higher premiums before that date.. S phone your insurance tell them that, if they dispute it, kindly explain to them it is widely available on the Internet to read about! And your premium will drop ! Mine dropped £790 ;)

2 - know what your saying ;-), like I said above, spend an hour or so reading up on rules and regulations etc etc.. I just got £50 off my insurance because the agent I spoke to said " we are regulated by the FSA" which.. Yes is true.. But it's not.. Lol! They are now know as the FCA.. (Financial services authority) now know as (financial conduct authority).. And I pulled her up on it.. She made a mistake! I didn't do it intentionally or in a be littling way.. She offered the discount I of course took it!

3 - all calls are "non-advised" meaning they CAN NO AT ANY POINT GIVE YOU ADVICE ON THE INSURANCE AND IF IT IS GOOD FOR YOU ETC ETC" again if they do... Pull them up on it

4 - make sure everything is all correct.. Always phone up and check to see if there are any offers/discounts for you to have! (Yes this happens lol)

5 - no.. I can't get you cheap insurance lol

Hope this helps! And sorry to go slightly off topic :-p

I don't know lol, just saw it and It looks amazing! :-p

Wrong thread sorry :-p

Maybe wrong forum... But damn! That thing is a minter!!!

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!!

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..

Check boot catch and petrol catches work (located on the right hand side of the floor on drivers side)

Check all gauges are working If any!, along with turbo timer if applicable.

Also check any central locking if it has it, and try to set it off if possible to make sure it works!

Also check air con if its there... Even down to the nitty gritty.. Such as seats moving as they should! Even back seats folding as they should.. Check the key fits and locks all locks!

Everything lol list goes on and on! Should take a good hour or so for a proper good look around!

Then of course the test drive.. Listen for the usual knocks/bangs, scrubbing of arches, crunching of gears!, test all gears including reverse! And brakes etc etc!

Check all fluids too! :-p then if you have time after that.. Buy the bloody thing! Haha

Hope at least some of that helps! (Don't have to do it all. Just if you want to be real anal about it all!)

Pm coming your way! ;)

Just googled it and thought the same, lol seems to be an important race car driver too? ;), special edition car? Race set up? ;) haha

Not a clue what this is? But hopefully someone will know??

Ouuucchhh 1.50!!!!!!!

Selling seats?

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!

PM sent ;)

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?
