  1. but then its a catogory c or what ever wich makes it harder to seel or do anything with in future, i say just argue the toss, even if you end up having to settle at least you should get more than £600 the tight bastards, see ep91 n/a's go for £750-1000 in tidy condition with lowish miles.
  2. In order to prove its worth more you need to find simlar speced, starlets selling for more. Mate had to do that with his escort. Don't accept the 600 they will write it off otherwise!! Fight it out with them. Plus write off should be when the cost of damage is greater than the value of the vehicle, get some quotes from body shops on repair costs
  3. Lol its not too hard tbh, 1. Forged pistons 2. Forged rods 3. Full engine gasket set. Done. That is just the basics though, you could spend ££££'s if you want on a mega spec engine. Best bet is tm-developments.com and talk to dave or darren and get them to build it to the spec and needs you want.
  4. Looks a lot like mine lol, except I've only got three wheels on mine haha, how long till she's off for mappin?
  5. half way through the ae111 conversion, but need longer studs? any one got a link for them as id like to order them today but havnt the time to go beat them out the hubs so un sure on the spline thickness etc. more importantly, bigger master cylinder? any thet are a direct swap atal? im keeping the abs in too. brakes is one area I've never realy looked into so now is the time to learn more about how much i can do with them thanks for any help guys Tom
  6. i run 20mm on the front and the handaling is much better imo, notice it most when plowing it in to a corner at speed
  7. dude hit up olpie oils over on tgtt, or email him through the website, he will get it to you quick and he stocks royal purple i belive
  8. as long as mines finished and mapped im up for anything within reason tbh, we need an iterest list guys and to see if any one near ace wants to drop in to make it a bigger meet too
  9. from this to this
  10. unlikley the turbo , actuator could be?? or a boost leak some where dude.
  11. na doubt it would dude, just drain the oil and water re fill her and off you trundle, wouldnt want to run soiled oil in her though ;)
  12. cheers for the response and input bud, i know the feeling about wanting to push it but not wanting to live to regret pushing it lol. and yea i know mcleod didnt have any trouble as i have his cylinder head lol rest of his engine was blown to shit though from the lad who he sold it too ;)
  13. glad you guys are getting there, and ed fair play for the honesty dude ;) shit happens, part of the fun of built not bought starbo's
  14. cheers ricky ;) will be keen to see graphs for a setup like this, should make some big power.
  15. i have to say i agree with mini valver, go on any scoob forum and ask and they all confirm it, also ted over on tgtt fucked his vf24 when he went over 1.4, im about to run a vf24 on mine and I've been advised from a good few sources to not breech 1.4 unless i want to risk it shiting itself. can i ask why you think this is the wrong advice??
  16. Is looking sweet dude, you not concerned about lag though with such a big turbo and then long runners on the top mount kit? Id asume that ads lag? Not overly clued up on topmpunt efficiency tbh.
  17. Is defo gettin there now dude, can't wait to see some decent figures from the turbo when she's rr'd. Ill fire you back a pm when I get a spare moment and we can discuss ecu's properly
  18. Can you pm me a price for all your non power steering parts once they are off mate ill prob buy them off you so I can ditch it from my v.
  19. Is looking lush dan, I'm in love with your alloys!!
  20. Livesports front bumper will look immense on this
  21. Google blitz's website dude, can down load a pdf file of the instructions
  22. For those fans of shutter island please watch inseption, leo again at his best and can't say much other than yea its a head fuck. @Sparkster I've seen it loads and I'm still head fucked lol but defo worth the second watch, and then some tbh.
  23. lmao the tdi is better than the 20v t, your mate will be gutted tbh as they realy are shite! way too slow and way too heavy!!
