Chops

Im also siding with marc moss's point here. though i do listen to coverage of problems overseas, we have a massive mess to deal with right here that seems to be discussed endlessly and never acted on. pisses me off.

this hits it on the head really. religion becomes the source of warmongering bullshit in the end, wherever you look. theres nothing you can do to end shit like this, itlle just spark up again and again as people are shit to each other in bigger and more aggressive ways. vice on youtube covers this sort of thing regularly, you can see its not gonna end pretty clearly from the footage.

I have a similar problem where it feels like its gone into reverse but actually isnt quite, and grinds as i let up occasionally, then i find i can move it back further. ive just learned to tell when its playing silly buggers like that. first can also do something similar, but not let me select it at all without sort of feeling about untill i can get it past whatever is stopping it. no idea what it is, ive been too lazy/busy to have a look about for the cause.

Saw a black gt going past victoria park earlier, headed out of town. black mk2 with some big bucket seats and a drilled back bumper, i think. anyone on here? local?

ill take the mani that needs welding if its cheap, pm me!

i know someone that bought rinseeps gt, then pussied out on running it and sat it on his drive. it runs nicely, but needs a new starter motor and a bov, not a biggie. drop me a pm if your interested, its in hampshire.

i bought just one, as a mate of mine told me he had the other i could have. ill have a look later to see if its the drivers side and get back to you.

BUMP! i need the window motors pretty bad, and glowbadge hunting is driving me mad, someone help!

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/audi/a1/61540/audi-a1-quattro this is the one i meant, the limited edition spec. i heard they were all lhd, must have been mistaken. there was a showoff spec 500bhp oneoff too, they had no intention of making it production though. new cars are a ripoff imo, and all the high performance cars from the 80s and 90s are chump change atm, and will go up in value pretty soon as they all start becoming classics. id find a mint example of something old and cool and hold onto it over an a1 or something similar.

There was and may still be a mad quattro version with 4wd and a bit of a power bump, but its a special have imported by the dealers job, and they're all lhd.

lol suddenly everyones done a compound build, its old news lol. slightly annoyed with that, but it wasnt to go running around screaming look at me look at me anyway. that german dudes build looks mad lol.

I've had absolutely no luck finding anything on this, a link would be much appreciated bud!

I was wondering if other brands might be the case, huge markup for nothing more than a brand name. cheers for the heads up, though im kinda depressed to know its already been done now got a wise man once said quote here lol, though it is completely true. tripplexxx from germany did this on a p8 starlet 5e big turbo and big chaaarger he is on toc and tgtt if you want info

That is an efe engine, came off a 2e i believe, and was shut to fit, micra manis have the throttle body on top. bullet proof engines, chain driven all alu design. as for stage of engine build, i plan to do a extensive rework of my 5e, its not going in till this time next year due to insurance and the cost and time needed for the build. im porting and polishing the heads currently, ittle also receive a 3 angle valve job from my local machine shop, a set of fte valvesprings i have to hand, fhe cams if i can find a set that isnt being sold by a right greedy bugger, a sizable skim, new valve stem

why? i know the 5e isnt the perfect base engine, being never even designed to be dohc in the first place, but i dont think it would take that much to have a build like what im proposing work. as a plater fabricator by trade, i can make the physical parts of the build id need such as all the custom manifolds and what not myself. The idea comes from a dude on the micra sports club forums doing a compound charged build on a k11 cg13de, its not an impossible build by any means. my biggest worry is how ill get an ecu to fuel it. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g240/porkstar5000/Snapbucket/7564E

Im planning do a kind of response machine, sort of rally engine style. huge compression ratio, compound charged with a clutched mini supercharger so i can change how it behaves as im driving, heaps of torque all over the rev range. rolling around town getting resonable economy one min and destroying the odd audi tt or whatever the next lol.

oh no, interwebs arguements lol. im pretty sure my fhe rods are worth more than those chinese jobs. i have a set of nearly new je pistons i picked up for like 250, such a budget build

lol so much hate in the space of ten mins lol. i have a set of fhe rods that look pretty beefy, but arnt particularly well machined lol, they're pretty rough looking. the chinese jobs were so cheap i thought id see if i could get some insight into them from someone on here lol.

I've been looking around ebay as normal, and stumbled across an advert for some forged conrods that seems too good to be true, though it talks the talk about their construction. i was wondering if anyone on here has already taken the plunge on these, or had any experience with them? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Toyota-5EFE-connecting-rod-rods-Con-rod-Conrod-conrods-pleuel-Bielle-muk-new-/221477926800?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item33911cf790

Hi all, i currently have no functioning windows at all, which is not cool in this weather :L. if someone has a pair of window motors and the little gears that like to strip themselves from time to time, pm me please! im also still noseying around after a glowbadge panel, if someone has one in good nick, pm me, i have the moneys waiting!

phh mine stays on when the doors are shut from time to time, it gets very annoying. my low fuel light wont go out either no matter the fuel level, blasted thing.

do these measure voltage as well? i seem to remember hearing they did somewhere

i could do with a pair of window motors, if your willing to sell em both, and all the little plastic gears that love to strip teeth!

cant really make a comment on that, ive had problems with garages around here in the past, i an only suggest you find a different garage that are up to the sort of thing you either cant or wont do yourself, and make friends of them. more likely to turn a blind eye to problematic emissions ratings if they know youll bring them regular business, eh

its difficult to help with somehting like this over the internet, its a dig about till you find the problem sort of job. if you lived somewhere in hampshire id come and give you a hand, i know how frustrating an electrical fault like this is first hand. starlet had several now, and an impreza i bought recently is refusing to start too, does your head in looking about for the cause. have you got a multimeter? if you dont i would say that should be your go to tool to find and sort this problem.
