Dem wheels <3 What are they? Car looks clean! Welcome to UKSO

Lol, that's just typical copypasta, that classic text has been floating around for yonks, all he's done is copy and pasted it.

I only have one Starlet vid on my account, just a shitty little flyby and cabin vid

Nice to see a catchcan done right! Stunning GT.

If only I had the cash GLWTS

Yeah, it's a lovely colour. John does like to have a moan at times --- As I had said on facebook (I think?), massive shame for this to have happened. Glad to see you haven't lost the love for them, will you be impoting a fresh one or buying from the UK?

That'd be your alternator belt, not timing.

I'd love to go K1 in the future, Phil rants on about his and tbh, all of the characteristics of it sound right up my street.

*looks at his driveway* You sod,

They are fucking minted, really good clutches. Shame mine is lunched, I think it's been imbalanced at some point (got it from a crashed GT that had cracked the gearbox). Going to have to get a Spec 6-puk in the meantime as I'm currently spending all of my money on a forged build One day I will have another...

Dem Advan RCs <3

Ohhhhh shiiittttt SON. Bout to get real!

May not have them on for long though, first salting was done around here 2 nights ago...

Just gotten my Volk 5/4s back from the refurbishers as I wasn't happy with their effort first time round, and I'm pleased to say they're ten times better than they were. Just need to get my spigot rings that I ordered from eBay trimmed down to size then I can get them properly balanced once I have the GT back

Sorry to hear that mate. I've had nothing but good times with mine, maybe yours was just a bad 'un? Was it secondhand?

Love my One X, I think it was quite an under-rated phone. Been rock solid for me, and still on the stock ROM. Dropped it about 5 times now and it's not missed a beat!

Would love to, but alas I have a GT of my own. Good luck Mark!! Wish I have the money to make you consider selling me the spats and lip, but mine is currently getting rebuilt with forged internals atm!

Can't believe how quickly this has come on, turbo kit looks savage! Will be interesting to see what power you get out of it vs boost! When would this be hitting full boost, do you know?

Brilliant to see pictures of her again, a true example of commitment to perfection!

Welcome to the forum, nice to see another mk1!! Getting few and far between now. Is it still on the standard turbo? Does it have all the supporting mods needed to run 1 bar on a CT9?

I'm feeling the same way with my Japspeed exhaust, would love something a little less in your face.

Long story short, the headgasket was starting to go (had gone between cyl 1 and 2, and various small coolant - cylinder leaks), but upon removing the head, we noticed several places on the cylinder walls where wster had been sat for a while (presumably when stood before I got it), and as a result pitted and eaten in considerably. So! Rather than get another engine and potentially have problems on that one crop up later down the line, leaving me with two useless engines, I've taken the decision to fully rebuild my current one. Forged pistons, forged rods, new everything basically. This way I'll have a rock solid engine and I know exactly what state it's in, rather than have an engine you never can be sure of in terms of condition throughout. An expensive move, yes, but it'll be worth it, even if I won't have a turbo setup etc to realise the full potential of a forged engine for some time yet. As for who is building it, it's a mate of mine who has his own garage business and has built several engines before. In fact, he has a fully custom caged 82 that he's currently building the lump for at the moment. He's planning to track it and stuff, but it's been slow work. Also has a minted original Mini with a race-tuned Mini lump in. And he races dirtbikes haha. Also found that my Ogura ORC309 must be imbalanced as its battered to fuck, all on one half of the plates Friction material is quite worn down as well, so I may have to ditch it. Pressure plate is slightly out of round too, probably from when the previous owner of the clutch had to mount a brick wall to avoid an accident and cracked his gearbox! It was a bit of a chance, but it was cheap, and I needed a clutch. Got plenty of use out of it too. In the meantime, I'll get a Spec 6-puk clutch, definately want to get another ORC309 in the future though, loved.it. And I can't let my £100 Ogura release bearing sit around doing nothing! Other than that, not a lot to report. Just badly missing driving hah! Hell not being able to jump into a car if/when I want

So.... It's going forged.

Exactly what i was thinking

Fucks sake, I need a new clutch as well, my ORC is looking worse for wear! Haha
