  1. Firstly............ WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I fitted my Meister R Zeta R Coilovers yesterday in a swap for my TRD colilovers I had on the V before and the difference is amazing. I will say that I LOVED the TRD's ability to go round any corner at virtually any speed and not give way but for the potholed roads roads of east Yorkshire they were just too hard so a while back I bought the Meisters and just haven't got around to fitting them until yesterday due to working stupid hours at work. So yesterday I decided to get them fitted despite the snow and freezing temperatures. It took longer than I

  3. BlackRocket (real name Steve) - Hull well a village to the east of it but i'm not picking!
  4. Typical good garage that! My dad used to do that when he had his garage. Its usual practice. Agree to Service and do belts as part of the sale. He will have waited for the exact reason you stated - it could be sat there for a while! Hope it a good one and you get sorted at a good price Steve

  8. Hi all, Does anyone know if there is any warranty on magnecore leads? I have a set but (as you do) threw the box etc out after I fitted them and now the King Lead has died i'm a tad mift! The pin inside has completely fallen out so its now useless! Can I complain/ get a replacement from them? The leads are under a year old and I have the electronic receipt as proof of purchase date etc. Thanks for reading Steve

  15. Him and his mates all have Astra's - its quite funny really! He has the SRi 1.8 with Kit and 18's Ash has CDti SRi 150 Joe has VXR 888/RR something like that! Derek has 2.0 Turbo 5 door Look like a right set when they park together! lol! I do enjoy driving it - went out at lunch especially to drive it. Found the sport button is quite good - sharpens up the responsiveness noticably! Would get bored of it tho if it was mine - its no Starbug! Steve
  16. Morning all, Just thought Iâ??d stick a random topic in as Iâ??ve borrowed my brothers car for the day since my Glanza is in for a cambelt change in his GFâ??s Dadâ??s garage. Itâ??s an 08 reg Astra 1.8 SRI with full optional kit and 18â??s. Iâ??m actually liking it a lot â?? Power is nowhere near like the Glanza but its nice to drive, the stereo is impressive, it rides well even tho its on 18â??s and the standard seats are really supportive. Quite a random post really but I thought I would share! LOL! Steve
  17. A Black & White Nova 1.2 Carb with a bigger carb, reprofiled cam, larger straight through exhaust and better fueling and an agressive tune up! lol! And the obligatory GTE Bodykit!! My old man was a mechanic and we made it from my Nans old car which had only covered 40k in 11 years (she owned it from new) Bought the car from her for £25 It was (possibly) the fastest 1.2 Nova i've ever seen! It had the 4 speed gearbox so would do 40 in 1st which was ace for racing people off the lights (as you do when you're 17!) Miss that car a lot as it was so much fun - sold it for a good profi
  18. There's already too much hatred in this world! Why is this fool just trying to cause more? I agree with everything that has been said in this thread up to now and couldn't agree more with Amjad786. Mabie someone should organise a march to get this clown and his cronies out of our multicultural and accepting country!
  19. Pretty simple make Got some bends etc sat in a drawer at home ready to make mine once the bad weather has gone lol Was going to do a tutorial but i bet someone's beaten to it b now! Steve

    Ebc V Mintex

    I had EBC Greenstuffs and Mintex 1144's after that on my Satria GTi and thought the Greenstuffs outperformed the Mintex in every area. Been in my mates road rally spec GTi which runs EBC Disks and Yellowstuffs and it stops on a 2p piece! Hence the reason I got the TD Ultimate Kit with EBC Disks, Yellowstuffs, Braded Lines and Toyota Fluid from Nick then also got a Cusco Master Cylinder Stopper to go on too for extra support! lol Not fitted them to the V yet as don't fancy trying to bed them in whilst its still snowy but will get them on as soon as the weather improves. In short I vote EBC!
  21. Its -2 degrees here in Hull Still bright tho but clear sky's so its chilly and sunny!! Steve
  22. Looks neat mate, I nearly bought one before I got my Glanza but was put off by ropey examples and good ones wanting too much money in my opinion Manifold and buddyclub exhaust mate - will sound MENTAL on VTEC Steve
  23. Thats a travesty wasting all of that lovely Ben & Jerry's IceCream! I always have at least 4 tubs in the freezer - but then again i'm an Icecreamaholic! Steve
