Starletraje

lol... i just spent the last minute or so trying to work that out i thought you'd said potion and i'd like to see this optional extra brochure, see if my sportif has anything to boast about. or if there would be anything desireable when the imminent strip down and sell comes

.

went to see a car today, described as "immaculate" it was a bloody dog, been in a serious crash and badly fixed. all the panels were out of alignment. bonnet catch had been welded on, and the weld has since rusted. interior looks like somebody crapped themselves in it and then died and been allowed to liquidise. exterior was manky, the person selling it had made no attempt to clean it at all phoned the number in the paper, got given another number who told me i had to phone another number. so spoke to three people before i got the person with the car. licence plates were "peeling" off for lack of a better description. they were clearly fake. when it was started it coughed a few times before starting, even then it sounded like shaking a tin of jelly beans. and the engine and bay was just about brown with rust. All this on an 2002 model. they were asking 2300 quid for it. i wouldn't have offered them half that. the car was generally abysmal. but its on ebay and 11 people have bid. some poor sucker is gonna get a right shed. nice navy blue colour i must admit though

hmm... odd... Wonder what mine is Just a stab in the dark but is this fluctuation not a case of a dynamometer measuring the HP at the wheels instead of BHP which i believe is measured before any form of engine braking is applied through gears, clutch etc?

Wikipedia man, But thats not 100% reliable and you no doubt know your stuff. Just thought i would mention it

I would imagine the odometer is the same, so i see no reason why it wouldn't work, but i'd wait for someone with a definitive answer

Not to doubt the people who know there turbo's but i found this: "Unlike a dump valve a blowoff valve can be used at multiple boost settings without reconfiguration. Blowoff valves are sometimes incorrectly called dump valves because they serve a similar function, but they are very different solutions to the same problem."

Just realised you are from glasgow boost junkie, ever around fife?

huh?

Soon as Possible. They are just so great looking with some performance to match. on a different note... i almost have 100 posts

Those Rims are ace, I eye them up every time i see them in the shops... one day

Out of curiosity. how'd you blow it?

LMAO. but you forgot the chrome washer covers with LED's, they add 1000 BHP to the car Ugliest cars in the city. So glad my starlet packed more a punch than they are capable of, even if it is pink...

our company car is a renault... its about as good at keeping water out as filter paper. It has been into the garage monthly for 3.5 years and although they keep saying they fixed it it still leaks again. French cars have poor build quality.

UGHHHHH!!!!!

if wheel bearings are what i think they are its an easy job, and needs minimal tools, but im no expert either, wheel bearings are the bearings that are tapered / \ huh?

i like golf's, but they are awful heavy, and i hear they are sluggish unless you have a GTI

Been a crap day Phoned the guy about the 2.2 this morning and he told me he had 4 viewings lined up today so i was like ah well no thanks mate. Then i spent the rest of the day half asleep. Then i ran outta petrol...

But this sort of damage is considered "wear and tear" and the council workers get paid mileage, or get a "company car" for lack of a better word. which either way means they don't pay for the repairs

Cool. i thought it was to vent the gas, but wasn't sure if it made any performance difference. Thanks guys

lol 90 - 89 that is nit picking. the almera isn't 100% yet, its 100 miles from me and it depends if my dad can be bothered comin to have a look I'm gonna wait a few years and buy a glanza, i would buy one now but insurance...

Somebody crashed into me, its an economical write off

This may be obvious but what are breather filters for? What do they get used on? what is there purpose Etc?

Yup, Council suck, used to work for them and i was like "i could run this better" our money goes towards the council employee's leaving at 12 on a friday and having "flexi time" and in return we get burst strut towers and cracked screens

im 18, no NCB, and my insurance policy is based on having a licence for 7 months (continuing my starlet policy) its not a DCI, but its got 115bh, 169ft-lb torque and a 0-60 of about 12 seconds, not bad considering it weighs almost 2 T
