fte the thing! you know it makes sense

its sorted now dude, just got a pm about a crank, and also found a block which is basically all i need anyway, just means no tyres for my new wheels until after xmas now

joz- the crank was far from repairable it was that bad :/ i may have found a replacement crank already though, depending on price, and ill have a look for the block now, cheers for the heads up yeah spoke to him ollie, im not really bothered about money back because we've spoke, and the fault is with the mechanic who checked it for him, for not doing a good job and not informing him properly about the damage

i was told it was knocking, so i knew it was damaged, just nowhere near that bad :/ and it was months ago now, so cant really do anything about it

it was bucketep91 off here that i bought it from who also had it inspected by somebody so they must have not told him how bad the damage was, and if they did check it, they would have seen the big chunk of conrod rattling around surely?

man that looks nasty, gutted for him tbh got to be careful in this weather now, saw 2 crashes in the last month, in exactly the same place, uk spec civic type r in a hedge, and couldnt even recognise the other car it was that badly smashed up, it was upside down too, and i drive that road alot, and i know the other half drives it everyday for work i think both guys came out of them okay though, luckily but its weird, because they were both in pretty much the straighest bit of road there, in exactly the same place :/

wow those lights have come out pretty wicked tbf, where did you get the stuff to do them, if you can give me a link that would be awesome mate and good base car, as said, some tidy 15's and some lowering springs/coilovers to start you off

welcome to the club dude

what if you hit some1 elses car?

haha yeah, but if you hit some1 else car they are going to be claiming everything they can off you

yes quite a few south wales members popping up now because we've all come out of our caves after the summer i stuck a note under a glanza windscreen wiper the other day saying to join here, but no luck lol he flashes me and all, but we are always going different ways we'll all have to convoy up to japfest

once you've got the bumper off, youll see it straight away, its a bit like the manual adjuster on the back of the headlights, theres only 1 on each fog lamp anyway, so you cant get it wrong

they are all down as 1.3 non turbo's on the log book, but you've got to tell the insurance company its a turbo, otherwise your insurance is void and your nakered if you crash EDIT: and it also puts other gt owners premiums up

ebay says 33 lmao and its a bit shit the scuff didnt come off :/ got quite a few things for this to go under the tree now havent you

they'd probably go up for sale, they'd get more selling them than weighing them in so keep your eyes peeled

cheers for the concern dudes not too happy about it tbh, but thats life :/ hopefully everything will work out engine wise, if not im going all out jam kit

splash guard gets in the way with the bumper on, probably be better off taking the bumper off dude

cheeky little edit there socks

i knew it had a 'slight knocking' so i was expecting damage, but not on this scale, the guys at the machine shop said it must have been rattling around for quite some time to get that bad. soo not sure whats happening on the engine front just yet, made an enquirery just now, and waiting to hear back, if it doesnt happen then ill have to wait til after the summer i think

just got back from the engine shop in bryn mawr, and found out that the bottom end is pretty much scrap crank is naff, he said its the worst he's ever seen, and the block itself is warped. so no fte going in any time soon but got a few cosmetic changes lined up hopefully, and then maybe have the fte by my next insurance renewal (dec 2011) bad times, bad times

must be a 4 minors club i had 4 aswell well done buddy now get that sexy gt on the road

looks sweet mate, going to see about my bottom end to see if the crank can be saved

did the scuff go completely? or is it just not visible in the pics? im prefering the white scoop tbh too

you know it makes sense welcome by the way

not sure on the color, but the rims go with it so well so your excused
