I get around 130 miles to £40 of Optimax if Im going fairly easy However its quite difficult to drive a GT-Four easy, so a spirited drive will use 40 quids worth in around 80 miles. Also bear in mind that I have a 68 litre fuel tank, im glad that I only live round the corner from work

Just got the new 2010 Demon Tweeks catalogue through the post and theres acompany in it that offers "superior exhaust systems for the worlds finest cars"..... ......an example of just how superior they are: Masaerati Quattraporte rear section..........£1621.50 so reasonable, okay how about one of these.. Porsche 911 GT2 Titanium system.........£4324 ok lets up the game a bit... Mclaren F1 stainless steel system........£8037 and if you want it in Titanium ...... .......£26367..... oh and just in case you happen to have a Bugatti Veyron in need of a Titanium system that'll be................ .................. £31443 I think Blitz systems are quite reasonably priced in respect of these

passed 3rd attempt with 5 minors I think it was, can't remember how many lessons and the car was a Rover 25 1.4

I like the Pulsar but its so damn ugly!! The ST205, in my eyes, has a brilliant combination of, well, everything It handles well, goes like stink, reliable, reasonably running costs compared to its "rivals" and its pretty practical too Ive had mine for just over 2 years now and couldn't bear to get rid of it

My thoughts exactly

That Skyline driver is one ugly cunt. Looks like the love child of Yoko Ono and Mick Jagger

Impreza/Pulsar bonnet scoops riveted onto the bonnet of an Escort/106. Veilside kits Viper stripes on anything over than a Viper Pretty much everything else that has been mentioned above And saw another stupid thing today: Ferrari 360 wheels on.........a mk3 Golf, that was burgundy

We charged £140 including vat & fitting IIRC Even more gutting when you lift the bonnet on this particular Scoob and discover its an N/A

Indeed it doesn't but not my car so not bothered

Had a car in yesterday at work to have a carbon fibre wrap done to the bonnet so thought Id whack up a few pics of how we did it (excuse the poor quality photos as I only had my phone and it doesn't do it justice at all!!) Car is a 52 plate Scooby, firstly we removed the bonnet scoop and washer jets and then set about making sure its completely clean. Laying the wrap over the bonnet, making sure it fits first! With backing paper removed we then lay it on the bonnet and start to spatular it down, slow and steady After laying the flat part of the bonnet we come to the edge where the vinyl starts to bunch due to the contours of the bonnet. We then heat these areas and carefully stretch the vinyl down over the contours, I don't have pics of this as its a two man job. One to hold the vinyl taught and to stretch it over whilst the other does the heating. After its been stretched it looks like this, same process over the headlamp areas aswell Excess vinyl is then trimmed but leaving a small edge to tuck under the edges of the bonnet, it is then heated again to kill the vinyl "memory" so it stays there The finished article after refitting the scoop and washer jets, the scoop will be done at a later stage Took us approximately one hour from start to finish, the wrap actually has a slight raised texture to it aswell. So if anyone has ever wondered how its done then theres your answer

Must be mad or rich to spend anymore than a grand on insurance or is that just me

I would be getting him to pay for it mate, if he doesn't tell him you'll report it to the police and go through the insurance, it'll cost him an awful lot more that way. Did you take any pics of the accident?? If you have a witness and tell them exactly what happened then it should go in your favour as his damage is to the front of the car. Its not as if you were travelling so close and just went into the back of him.

Buying cheap vinyl is just asking for trouble, its an absolute nightmare to work with the cheap stuff

^^Thats how I do my boost gauges, just tee it into the dump valve vacuum hose

Hi mate, I tee the boost gauge line into the dumpvalve vacuum hose normally Stock psi is around 5 on low and 8 on hi, its been a while since Ive had my Starlet but IIRC thats about right!! This is down to the weather yes, do you have a decat on the car??

Smear a small amount of vaseline over the key hole, it won't freeze then.

Ive just done a quote on Confused for a 1997 Glanza V and the cheapest it is showing for me is £725.51 TPFT Im 23 with 5 years NCB, 3 points and living in a low risk postcode area. And Bradford and Bingley want £987

Not sure yet.......... ..........too busy looking at Lukes' avatar

If I was to get one it would have to be a type RA, close ratio 'box FTW!! However I wouldn't get one because of the stupid noise they make.

Service history upto 40k yet the car is now on 112k, probably needs a new clutch too plus the MOT advisories sorting plus the little bits and pieces that need fixing. I would say you could get alot better example for not alot more money tbh.

Seems abit strange to get a letter so long after the offence

Real clever thing to do

ST215, still prefer the Celica though.......... ...........not that Im biased or anything ;)

6 months to find my GT, put a deposit on it there and then. But had to wait another 6 months before I could actually drive it as needed a year no claims before I could insure it so garage held it for me.

A stock T-Sport Celica runs low 15's, theres a couple of guys on the Celica club running with superchargers too. 13.8 1/4 mile with around 250bhp and the other is 300bhp and ran a 13.5 with no LSD.
