the car wasnt as horrific as my boxers mate... I ***nearly*** redecorated lol you know what them small back street garages sitting on the edge of 'divided' areas here are like mate, I could have challenged it, but id no doubt be found with a wild sore set of knees down an allyway. sometimes its better just to accept responsibility, it is my car and my problem after all, blame pushing never solves the issue. BUT I have turned a bad situ to a good one.... My new car is coming 19 years old with just under 50k miles on it, and quite the looker too!!!!

fishy isnt wrong about the red one being 'fishy' pardon the pun. Those wheels are innovite ones, not even rotas or real volks. Thats been done once it entered the country, so id be asking why it was changed, and id be wanting to see photos of it leaving japland

about time... Theyve badly let down a lot of customers with nigh on appalling levels of service including failure to provide policy and skipping court etc... remember that poor lad who paid his policy and Quinn wouldnt turn up to his court hearing? These guys deal with disgusting amounts of money, for what is a necessity to be on our roads, and its comforting to see that justice is being done. No im not bitter towards fat cats in the slightest!

unfortunately it wasnt as clean cut as that, the bonnet wa at such a hardcore angle that the catch wouldnt meet, so it was abandoned at an early stage.... Just to note, the car was in having its exhaust syste rehung, the bonnet was up checking the flange, and I was told the car was good to go... Still, that doesnt negate me totally from being soft enough not to check my car over before driving!!! get the kleenex at the ready for some may shed a tear at the horrific images of a bruised and beaten kitten that are about to follow I had taken this week off to mot the car and get her ready for n

MORE TOYS!!!!! Thanks to Trevor for providing yet more sexual components to the party - 370cc injectors, ready to dump inordinate amounts of fuel to the party. Also new to the spec is this manifold provided by Trevor too: a 304 stainless manifold! I thought it might have been silk road, but the pictures ive found of a silk road dont seem to match this one. The closest I can match it to was my old Jap speed one.... see? Does anyone know what the Japspeed manifold was a copy of? The manifold was used and had a few cracks, so I took it to a relative's engineering company to have it

not quite, the tension in a charger belt would bangle the shaft and bearings of of ct9 in about 10 seconds, you could always contact CPL who would advise you. there is always the prospect of taking a 4efte, as the internals would be better suited to taking the forced induction... just think... lagless 4efte!

been there done it! unique? supercharge it and keep the sportif stickers!

I got the carbon HERE matey

its really hard to see, but if you look to the left of the numberplate in the top photo, I have a rectangular section cut from the bumper to allow more air to the intercooler, I decided to leave it at that lol!

theyre a satin finish, gunmetal in colour! The lips are polished, just in need of some errrrr... polishing lol! heres some awesome pics taken by Jaystar yesterday! Just some photos as taken by the Jay-meister at the weekends NI meet. awesomeness the smile speaks volumes!

Ive noticed these on more and more Race/Track prepped starlets coming in through Trevor of late so thought there must be good reason for them. Upon inspection of my starlet the only earth I discovered was one wire going from the battery down onto the frame and one little strap onto the front slam bar! Upon consulting a few NI Ep-masters, I heard more and more tales of poor earths causing poor running, so thought id use the kitten as a guinea pig and make my own kit. All that is really required can be bought on the high street @ Halfords, though the more astute may wish to purchase the compon

See you all there - bring a brolley! ps Ill have a Pivot speed meter with me for sale if anyone is interested, and I also have an oil pressure guage and

just a couple more touches for the meet tomorrow: brakes painted blue lol little velcro stickers for the show plates: proper carbon sheet over the wiper hole: then Robbo and myself buffed just the roof for the sheer novelty of it lol!

^^^Man tells no lies!^^^ I have a close buddy who had his (my old) GT4 sat in impeccable condition prior to ownership. He listened intently on what he needed to maintain its finish, and invested in touchless washing gear, and simply one good wax. The car looks every bit as good nearly 2 years on, and has yet to see my porter cable anywhere near it. I detailled a laast gen celica in blue for another good friend, who was warned he had soft paint, and that if he didnt change his wash method (old sponge, probably dropped a few times during a wash, left un covered to the elements during the wee

you couldnt have put it better Jay. We need to define a clear line between the detaillers out there and those who simply detest cleaning and see it as a chore. Supaguard is grand for that as its basically providing a layer of sealant, as opposed to enhancing the visual appearance of the car. The issue is that most places that apply it just apply it straight or maybe after a brief paint pdi. My main grievance with this is that the canvas its applied to is virtually always flawed when it leaves the showroom. Take leannes new Fiesta anniversary for example, I was able to get £1k off t
