  1. ive had a couple of exhausts from there on previous cars and never had any issues/complaints
  2. if anyone else wants to go i cant see it being a problem getting tickets and then just dropping the organisers an email to update them with how many cars will be on the starlet stand? i know people that havent even organised a stand yet so might still be possible?
  3. i have a catch tank with a breather on the top of it and its smoking out of the breather and blowing some oil through, i had a compression test, 1st cylinder was quite alot lower than the others and most people so far are saying its piston rings so you could have the same problem maybe?
  4. i will be there both days so come say hello

    i think i will be going down m1 coming off at 23a on m42 then m5 then m4 should take just over 3hours from mine, not sure what time yet though as im not sure what time i will get home from work and then need to take it really steady with the car with the compression being a bit dodgy send us a pm nearer the time and we can sort something out if you like

    there should be a few coming from derbyshire area i think, i will be travelling down the night before though and staying local
  10. wish i had time and patience to do all them fiddly bits like you its looking good so far, when you run out of bits to do you know where my car is let me know when its on the road
  11. i got mine in with the seats in place just slide them all the way forward to get middle bit in so u got more space obviously, i put mine in through the boot but mines a diff style of cage than yours int it? does yours go to the rear struts or all the way to the back like mine? i know what you mean about the plates underneath, i put bolts from the top, then plates underneath, then nuts, nice and tight then got trusty angle grinder out and trimmed the bolts to size
  12. yeh was quite fun at skeggy bit nippy though not sure on gt with blitz frontmount? saw a nice supra when we was driving through lincoln area though was like a pale green colour
  13. i was on the opposite side of the road coming from worksop we had been to skeggy for the day fun fun i was in the peugeot estate beast though so ya wunt av noticed
  14. cheers dude how much longer till your up and running again any ideas?
  15. anyone on here? was coming from todwick crossroads area out towards worksop last night sunday 4th april at about 9.20pm
  16. is there a time and a place for meeting yet? im hopeing to come i think i shall just risk driving the car
  17. mine was some old tyre racking from a garage but you could use anything i suppose and then all you need is a hammer, vice, angle grinder, drill, nuts and bolts and its easily bodged
  18. got it off a member on tgtt, was a normal 6point cage and then i just got some random bars and bolted them across to make it look a bit different, and then sprayed it because black was a bit boring
  19. yeh think its piston rings, its done alot of miles now works out about 170000 miles i think so was expecting some internal problem with the engine eventually but not straight away after a few months of saving for the ecu thinking its going to be running sweet for a while but oh well just gotta keep my eyes peeled for an engine now me thinks ive just been out in it now and noticed that the heaters are blowing cold instead of hot so need to figure out whats causing that aswell
  20. had the emanage ultimate fitted today with nick at tuning developments and he had some bad news for me compression is down on the 1st cylinder so thats wank think he said it was 105 on the 1st and 175 on all the others and its chucking quite a bit of smoke out of the oil catchtank, so now i need to find a new engine before mine goes all together i wonder if i will ever have the car working fine without any problem
  21. i was thinking the same but im still not sure what to think about the cage really im not sure if it looks tacky or not with it all being bolted together when usually there welded if ya know what i mean
  22. few little changes, i took the rear tints off because they was quite crap not sure whether to redo them or leave them clear for now? sprayed the inside of the car because it looks clean and fresh so went from this tatty grey...... to nice shiney black......
  23. i went went in my girlfriends golf though because my cars off the road at the mo, was a good day ive been for the last few years now i never saw a seat hit the wall?? saw that rx7 and the skyline hit the wall though which white gt is yours then i only saw 2? a plain white one or the one with the graphics on and illuminous scoop?
