  1. www.glanza.co.uk is the culprit. The guy needs to chilax.. your only moderating a forum.

    rant over and out.

    thoughts/views ?

    your right, he is only moderating a forum, for that reason its you that needs to "chilax" :lol:

  2. it is my belief that all traders have moderator access to allow them to modrate their sections!!

    this wasnt in daves section.(whole other issue with the admin, not my issue)

    but thats not the point, i dont care much for my info being ignored or deleted, its nature is such that you will always be shouted down.

    just wanted to point out that i wasnt/should'nt have been moaning at mods.

    Phil

  3. i accused you guys of a cover up operation. lol

    but i have just been informed that the burwash is among your ranks, which would explain the lack of a certain post and now thread.

    pity he wasnt up for the discussion.

    apologies for any offence caused to all mods.

  4. to be honest guy i think shes standard, what I've said is the total truth, not in my nature to lie about things.

    but from looking under the bonnet, and from he questions I've asked, shes totaly standard.

    but then again i wouldnt really no!

    what you wouldnt really know and therefore couldnt possibly be accused of lying about is whether or not the focus was "goin for it"

    id say it wasnt, maybe you think it was, so long as your happy, im happy :D:lol:

  5. I've been wondering how quick the TD04'd starlets are..I assume they're a lot quicker at a rolling start right? Would an LSD make any difference to straight line acceleration?

    quicker fullstop. and yes a lsd helps alot.

    with drag radials(not full slicks) spuddy puts down 320/330+hp with no wheelspin in 2nd gear its all in the setup.

    Phil

  6. how fast to 0 to 60 and 0 to 100 is a td04 set up say for instance 215bhp atw over completely standered 133bhp glanza

    ye the td04 is alot better like from 40mph onwards cus up to 30 u just strugle for traction! 1st gear no hope the cars all over the shop lol and 2nd is a strugle but i have had a good run once wer i had good traction and it was imense but didnt time it gutted

    with 215 atw your talking about 250hp, thats going to be dancing on the tarmac till third gear without slicks/radial tires.

    with slicks you should be able to put a nuts 0-60 time in.

    we should really time what spuddys car does it in but it would be tricky to time accurately.

  7. They said to me don't sell on here again, I thought fair do's I wont do that. I rejected a lot of customers. TGTT Admin, if/when your reading this, feel free to go through my PM's. I had a fair few PM's where I could have made quick sales but chose to enter the response: "Sorry I am not allowed to sell on here, good luck with your parts search" - Obviously I got the odd reply asking "Where can we buy from you" etc, where I didn't reply to further PM's.

    I didn't think the Banner would get me banned because it didn't say what I'm selling etc, but it's done now!

    haha hardluck, suppose you pushing it abit though with your contact email etc on the sign aswell! (even a logo is advertising really)

    sure you have a trading corner on here anyways.

    i never really log on here, but im here atm for some reason, to look at wms brakes iirc lol

  8. getting it done by tm or a company as well they will chemically clean it too. they start from the bottom and rebuild it from start to finish with all new forged parts. very worth it in my opinion rather than doing it yaself. atleast you know its been done by professionals :lol:

    the machineshop will stick the block/head in to a chemical washer once the machine work is done, so if you do the build yourself the engine will still be chemically cleaned. if you want to know whats in your engine, you will need to buy the parts yourself and and watch someone else build it for you.

    Phil

  9. yeah you need to be budgeting

    200 for machinework. (rebore/polished crank/skimmed block)

    150 hg

    650 rods and pistons

    100 for ACL bearings

    80ish for a full engine gasket kit

    80 oil pump

    30 headbolts

    as you can see thats around 1300, with going over the top on uprated cams valve springs reground crank lightened flywheel blueprinted bootom end or choosing any of the expensive internals, go for pauter rods and je pistons and you will be staring 1grand before you even buy anything else.

    AND it doesnt account for paying anynoe to build the engine.

    sealer assembly paste engine stand engine oil/oil filters for the run in.

    it will easily owe you the best part of 3grand before your finished, especially if something goes wrong.

    but goodluck, sometimes these things go like clockwork and do it with a bare minimum attitude and something will go pearshaped.

    take your time, buy ALL the parts before hand(after finding someont to build the engine for you and choose the parts on there recommendation)

  10. for very harsh driving(rallying rallycross etc) cars would be equipped with excessively large calipers and thickass solid discs.

    the more metal the more heat needed to over cook the discs, less warping less cracking.

    worth the extra unsprung weight to have a thicker but NOT drilled or grooved disc.

    Phil

  11. i just hate how most people here cant use a roundabout. seems to be with just roundabouts with 2 lanes goin in. i think that left lane is for left and straight on and right lane is for right and goin back on yourself. am i right ?? because it gets annoying gettin cut up and people thiking its me and giving me the look.

    im not even gonna start on stuck up folk in there 1.9 tdi audi's and vw's company cars on the motorway. twats.

    your allowed to go straight on form the righthand lane at loads of roundabouts so long as there are two lane in obviously and two lanes straight on and you exit in the right hand lane iirc.
