Aye looks standard too me, ive not seen a ct9 for a long time though

What sort of price are you looking for?

Fair enough i might of stated certain prices per hour but round my way all body shop charge less than mechanics do per hour, i work in a body shop i know to get a good job it takes longer than 20 hours, I know for a fact that with newer cars, if theres something wrong with the engine a mechanic will plug it into a machine and it will tell them whats wrong, i know mechanics do alot more than that. i was just having a dig because u were having a dig at painters. You say painting is just " learning which paints and primer to use on surfaces" then whats mechanics? learning what bolt to take out? Its not just painters that work in body shops.

Are you not going to answer any of my questions?

Its alot more than £50 for paint now, by law body shops have to use water based paint witch is alot more expensive, also u have to pay for all the materials, primer, booth time, lacquer ect ect also to do the job properly it takes alot longer than 20 hours How is it a rip off? mechanics round my way charge up to £100 an hour where body shops are around £35. Have u ever tried to strip and prep a car for painting properly? its hard work, why would 15 hours be to long to prep? having alook around the car for dents, rust, scraps ect, fixing all the above, rubbing down the whole car properly, masking up for primer, priming, baking the car, rubbing the primer, masking up again, then painting, then lacquering, baking the car then rubbing the whole car down again them machine polished the whole car and waxing, i could guarantee u couldnt do that in 15 hours. Why does the price not reflect the work we do? a mechanic (no offence to mechanics just using this as an example) now a days pugs the car into a computer and it tells them whats wrong with a car and charges u £100 for 5 mins work the training/ qualifications are just the same as a mechanic, level 3 city & guilds, so why is it less? also body shops charge by hour not as a whole. if a mechanic was working on your car for 30 hours, he's gona charge u 30 hours, its not a rip off its just a body shop charging there hourly rate, just like every other body shop/mechanic By the way im not a painter.

keri@wms-brakes.co.uk Theres his email

you tried his email address? i think he's just had a kid so might be pretty busy

Just because a 5 grand 280 bhp starlet is faster than a 5 grand evo, skyline, scoob ect ect, does that make it better? if i had 5 grand to spend on a car it wouldnt b a starlet lol

as above, looking to buy a bog standard ep91 or ep80 in Scotland and as close to Dundee as possible

I plan on doing this when i find an n/a

are u happy with how it drives? figures are just for pub talk its how it drives thats important!

Nice one Shaun, glad to see you got it safely

Had mine stripped for one day and hated it, if all your doing it taking the seats out then theres not much point tbh

supercharged 5e ftw!!

Horrible!!

I thought it would be interesting to see how many people are still running around with a standard ct9? seems like every man and his dog are running td04's now Would also be interesting to see who's still rocking a standard gt or glanza, I wish I kept mine standard

I just used engine oil

I like this one

This ^^^^ I think ive complated it and ive not even got the game

Toyota prob still sell them and theres prob loads about with all the breakers kicking about the now

no there bolted on, try opening the door and lift the back of the door, if theres movement then its defo the hinge.

x2 i have to say i loved driving my old teg more than my glanza. td04's aint even that laggy and if your complaining about lag then your in the wrong gear Like everyone says 1 bar seems to be what most people run. but then its how you drive it and how regularly its serviced.

u dont need a new door, just a new door hinge, pretty common on starlets.

Haha, see if she was an arab then thats your dream girl right there Have you ever recorded urself on tape or video then listened to it? we do sound like that
