you pay 4% duty and vat at 20% on personal imported goods

the only way you will get around the customs charges will be to speak to sam and see if he will put the cost lower for the waybill which is like the invoice that is needed for customs if you are in the market for a hybrid i would look at tongs personally much better quality imo and drop enzo a pm about them

Got a fair bit done today just need to remove the steering rack and rear axle and then the cutting can begin, then i will be degrasing the whole car and then the sand blasting can be done, will be doing the inside outside and underside then i can start work on the cage this was the design i had in mind any thoughts on it

thanks for that dude, im loving that java metallic black.

thanks for the comments guys @amjad im undecided on turbo choice yet engine spec as follows custom made forged rods 75mm forged pistons billet crank custom cams custom valves and valve springs uprated valve stem seals athena head gasket ported and polished head and all appropriate machine work to go with it skimming notching etc new water oil pump and gasket set lightweight pulley set and adjustable cam gear possibly run it on coil pack instead of dizzy but we will see @ anyone else what are peoples thoughts on colour choice at the moment im thinking candy apple red or ancharite grey

right s i thought it was about time i got myself a project to work on, i picked a shell up from turbodave on the weekend to use as a base. So plans for this are to make it a light as possible and use it as a track/weekend car Intended plans custom built roll cage using t45 45mm tubing forged engine(more on that later) perspex windows all round fiberglass doors, boot, bonnet and wings(hoping to do the whole shell at some point) full respray unsure on colour (opinions???) titanuim exhaust from down pipe back custom loom to get rid off all the crap i wont be needing 4 pot brake kit haltech ecu 2 x bride rep seats charge cooler thats all i can think of for now apart from the obvious braces arb etc every part will either be powder coated, polished,or painted and every nut and bolt will be replaced with high tensile stainless started stripping all the crap out today dash heaters etc so the cutting can commence few pics of how she stands more up dates to come

right am i right in saying that the oil comes out of the engine into the smaller holes around the outer edge of the filter and returns through the threaded bar that the oilf filter scres on to? im 99.9% sure that is the way it works just need someone to confirm really cheers james

ill be needing one for mine as it will have no keys or door lock to save on weight lol

will need to be sanded back dude any sort of solvent and paint do not mix period, i would take it back have him prep it properly and repaint, if he is not prepared to do this then get your money back and go to someone who will do the job properly. if he trepaints over the original layer of paint that he has applied those spots will re appear in time. ;)

you have up to three years to make a claim from the date that the accident occured, as for your insurance a personal injusry claim will not affect it what so ever.as it is personal. i was allways under the impression that if you had an accident and once proven that you were not at fault then you infact do not have to inform the insurance company.if you read the insurance form it will ask you if you have cklaimed against a policy within the last three years for an accident theft or damage, most insurance forms will then give you a drop down which will say claim (non - fault in your case. now think of this logically once your insurance has finalised everything with the other drivers insurance company you have not made a claim as it is the other drivers insurance cmopany that has paid out and not you.you have not made a claim against your insurance policy. Accident (non - fault) usually is when you have damaged your car and it was not your fault etc, you have not actually claimed on your insurance policy but have claimed on the other persons policy therefore you should not be penalised for it. example of non fault accident would be if you had a named driver on your policy and they then had an accident in your car, you are not driving the vehicle but still need to make a claim to get your car repaired that would be under accident non fault. i am not 100% on this but that is what i am lead to believe in the past, i would contact your insurance provider just to doublr check on that. ;)

^^^ got to agree with amjad dude, charlie down at pro speed is awesome and very well priced.oh and lifetime guarantee too

iirc if you have twisted the arm on the standard actuator there is a good chance it will knacker the spring hence it only boosting to.3 bar, also if the restrictor is still inplace take it out(it was not in there as standard) ;)

yep sent them out at 3 oclock mate first class recorded, should hopefully be with you by tommorow if not saturday. ;)

^^^^ yup you may have to cut a hole through the undertray for the pipe to co through

do you mean the trys underneath dude?if so cut a hole in them to feed the pipe through if you want to retain them or fit the cooler and remove them

^^^ yes but i will be having a billet crank made up for it. @ taggy pm coming your way dude.

glad you got them ok guys. cheers james ;)

^^^ did it work though? mine didnt, i got all exited one night when the mrs agreed that i could set it off, follow the instructions and nothing, was not happy

lucky gits the best bit i got with my v was a reciept and a flare and the flare did not work

it shouldnt affect it as it is right on the edge, but certainly seems as if you have dropped something in there at some point, i would flush the engine new oil and filter and fit a magnetic sump plug and just keep your eye on it.chanes are whatever was in there has broken down and is now in your sump but obviously you dont want to pick it back up

^^^i may be able to get an extra set made up for you on the next group buy dude @ ollie glad you got it ok dude, will post out that reduver as soon as it arrives. cheers james

i will be doing up another group buy over the next few days guys as ive had a few requests for another one.will do them for the same price as last time. james
