Thanks bud, and especially thank you for donating, it's for a great cause and worth every minute of being screamed "PAEDO" I've had to experience!

I've donated my face to charity for the month, by transforming myself into a "paedo" and "pervert" etc (Quoted from women) to raise money for prostate cancer. Movember is a fundraising event set-up where the participants are required to clean shave on the first day of the month, and clean shave all of their face EXCEPT their moustache for the remainder of the month. I have kept strictly within the rules, and have been growing the moustache since day one. If anyone would be kind enough to donate even just a couple of quid for me, it will all go to a great cause. Please go to the following l

Iddy - Can I please recommend to you the Rainsports. I've had 3 pairs of T1R's, they changed the compound ages ago and completely went to shit. Last set I used were okay in the dry and unbareable in the wet. My Rainsport2's are the best tyres I've ever owned in both the wet and dry, and so far they're lasting a lot better than any of my T1R's ever did.

This has just leaked, never thought I'd see the day.

I get this, why? Am I on a 1 PM a day limit or something? The error returned was: You cannot send another PM until Nov 16 2010, 03:40 PM

I think this thread needs to become pics only.

Tell him to come on here and resolve the issue then.

That was the longest sentence I have ever attempted to read, I got stuck somewhere half way through.

Welcome aboard, nice to see your enthusiasm, it's easy to see where you've got the bug from. One slight problem though, you just stated that you're currently paying £260 a month on a 1.4 Fiesta? I hope you're not thinking that because these are 1.3's you'll be able to get the insurance cheaper! Why are you paying so much on the Fiesta currently? If you have points or you're young or anything then insurance will bend you over.

It's not anything to do with that, it's to do with waiting for the new firmware release to come out so that the game can't be pirated. Read: http://www.gtplanet.net/ps3-firmware-the-r...rismo-5s-delay/

*drumroll* Basically, I spoke to Rick and he suggested changing the actuator altogether since adjusting it didn't seem to make any difference. I went in with no expectations and borrowed one off a bloke who used to be very sexy and chubby, but no longer is, (Sadly.) Boshed that on this evening and went for a spin. THE CAR IS NOW RUNNING PERRRRRRRRFECT! Full boost by 3.5k! I genuinely forgot how much fun it was, and just how brutally shit the broken actuator had made it! Sadly the noise still remains, I had assumed it was down to the dump valve rubbing on the bonnet but after cable tying it

I'll keep you in mind mate, I've already had people in the past say if I've ever sold up they want so and so bits. I'll have to give them first refusal. Thanks for heads up though! I sold the tubby to part-finance buying the hybrid, it was a bloody good turbo too. Last time I saw it someone was running it at about 298704287934 bar and raping its arse end in. The thing is, I don't seem to be having "general Starlet" problems. It seems to be more the turbo/actuator/FMIC issues that I've had, things that I've spent a lot of money on and made sure I've purchased the best stuff money can bu

You have got a very valid point mate. I can honestly look back to when I first started loving the car and say, I think I did enjoy it that much. But like you say it's now become a waiting game for me as to what's going to go wrong next. I feel like my fun's being limited by my constant fear of fucking something up whilst enjoying myself. You have to bare in mind though that there are a couple of people who have helped me greatly with this, and I would too feel bad. That's one of the only reasons it's not in pieces right now. It's the niggly pricks that are annoying me, if an engine goes, an e

I'm considering breaking the car. You'll probably have noticed my absence recently, this has been because I've been frustrated with Starlets and pretty much fallen out of love with it and the whole modding bug. I have the car taken to near enough 200bhp on a hybrid, zisco mani, custom intercooler, taken for a proper mapping session, the lot. I've always purchased the best parts and gone out of my way to do stuff to ensure I don't buy cheap shit that'll go wrong in a week. I do a full detail twice a year and the car is garaged and driven 4/5 times a week. Slowly, after about 8-9 months of

Looks really nice mate, dramatic turnaround there. Bet your wallet's hurting a bit, I went all out on doing a new room earlier this year, it cost a bloody bomb for that alone! Hope everything goes well for both you guys, congrats!

Slightly late, since this is JAE 2009!

Thanks bud, as soon as I have resolved the boost issue that will be first on my 'to buy' list. I need to make sure I get this sorted first due to being a bit strapped financially.

Sorry for leaving so long to respond to this. Luckily it wasn't as bad as I had initially thought, it was all pretty dramatic and had me fearing the worst. All that had happened is I was on quite high boost, combined with travelling at motorway speeds. There was a hairline crack in the turbo oil feed and the pressure had made oil spray everywhere. Luckily I turned the engine off before all the oil had got out and the engine's running fine again now. On a less positive note, I'm still not reaching full boost until 5k and it's starting to get really frustrating! I guess I'll have to check the

I need to echo the previous comments I'm afraid. Are they actually real Equip's? If so you could get good money for them and buy yourself a great set of wheels that suit the car perfectly.

Three years late

Edited the title as it was pissing me off thinking it was on "Tonight" every time this thread popped up! Sorry!

JAE has never been about that though, it's about banter, getting drunk and then fingering each other until the early hours. Or just getting penises drawn on your face like Alex.

Not sure how it was utter gash, there was some fantastic cars on show, surely that's the main part of making a car show good? Thing this year was that the UKSC tent was far away from most of the action, so they were pretty out the way from everyone else who seemingly had a boring time!

Tent? No, that was a palace.
