  1. After the sucess of the TRS GB I have been asked by GreyRacer on Track-Ninjas.net to arrange a GB on the impressive sounding CG-Lock. I have not used one yet but will be getting one for sure instead of a harness. Having looked into them, doing my research and finding some independant reviews, the theory behind these is quite convincing. The CG-Lock is basically a way of locking the lap portion of your seatbelt in place at a desired tightness, keeping your lower back to the seat much like a harness, but allowing your top half to move as a normal seatbelt allowing you to reach things around the car. Also Ben Collins (the old traitor stig ) has come out saying he used these on topgear to drive the cars round the track as obviously he cannot fit a harness to them: "The CG lock is a great little device which turns a normal seat belt into a racing harness, simply by tightening the lap belt and holding your body in position. We use it for driving on track, for filming and for precision stunt driving sequences but there are numerous advantages to using it day-to-day. Driving on the race track, the first crucial step is establishing a good seating position and with a conventional seatbelt you just keep falling out of it, unless you install a full harness or fit a CG-Lock. Sliding forwards or laterally in the seat when driving isn’t just frustrating, it’s also dangerous. In the event of the a sudden avoidance reaction, hard braking or a collision, the lack of movement from use of the CG-Lock can make all the difference in avoiding injury. The CG-Lock connects the driver to the car and holds you in the seat allowing heightened feedback from the tyres so that the driver can make the subtle inputs into the steering wheel, accelertator and brake that make the difference between posting an average lap time and a fast lap time." Here is all the details and the theory behind them: http://www.cg-lock.c...w-does-it-work/ Now for the costs. The normal price of a CG-Lock is £49.99, I am going to be able to get these for £38.50 Delivered, or £37.50 collected from either here or the Blyton Trackday, but for this price I need 10 peeps and I want this to move quickly so that I can get them for Blyton 1.

    As said on FB Phil, he is gorgeous! Reminds me of my 'puppies' (now 9 and 7): When we got Jess Then she got a little older (with Jake who is 2 years and 3 days older) Jake is really laid back and chilled, Jess is a mentalist with a tail that hurts your legs and can take a full brew clean off the coffee table!
  8. That is looking awesome!
  9. The best custard thread is the jason Plato one: http://pistonheads.c...=plato&nmt=Just met Jason Plato... Halfway down page 8 it gets interesting
  10. Something doesn't add up to me, either works at a car storage thing, is a detailer or something because that seems dodgy
  11. Item Condition: Used Price and price conditions: £900 Extra Info: MOT 14 April 2013 Tax 31 May 2012 135K Miles I am putting up for sale my 1996 Celica GT in very shiny black. The car is standard except for Gen7 5 spoke alloy wheels that came on the car when I bought it. I bought this early last year as a car to put me on for a couple of months, and instead kept it for the year as it has been a fantastic motor. In the year it has needed: drop links a wheel bearing and both CV joints (I replaced the whole driveshaft) All were fitted by myself. When i got the car the paint was dull and oxidised. This has now been machine polished and fully detailed to bring it back to great condition. There are some marks on the paint and stonechips to the front, but that is to be expected on a 15 year old car. The interior is clean and in good condition. The engine runs very well, not causing any problems in the time I have owned. The car also comes with a full set of 5 spare alloys. More pictures of the car upon request Bad bits: Two chips in the windscreen that cannot be injected. My insurance does not have glass cover like most I only have one key and one keyfob Hopefully that is everything, if there is anything I have missed I will update Part Exchange: Prelude, civic, starlet, paseo, anything Jap Pictures: Contact Details: Pm or reply on here, email schlength@hotmail.com Location: Leeds, West Yorks

  20. I used to want these in my life and thought they would look amazing on a SR. Rare! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/corolla-tte-white-alloys-16-inch-mims-4-stud-wheels-pzero-tyres-205-45-16-/180850692177?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&hash=item2a1b8a9051
