  2. thats great news dude!!!!! nice one! Phil.
  3. cheers sam mate! i prefer the windows as they are, i aint aimin for a glanza look tbh, i know the rear end contradicts that statement but the front end doesnt lol. the turbo is just a matter of patience for me now dude, just gotta wait for the go-ahead from Jay and its show time! things are much better now dude yeah thanks, we have settled into our new home and im currently on the hunt for a GOOD career, which if i can find one will make things much better for me and the car. all i need is some home-plugs to get my own PC online again and i'll be back to my old UKSC self again dude. hope all
  4. Well, this is the announcement i had for u all, apologies for delay, internet service was interupted by BT again. A couple of months back Mark bought this 1995 quad-light off Robbo for a very reasonable price. Robbo kept the car fairly immaculate so it was an easy choice when it came to choosing what EP to buy. The idea was to buy somethin to keep Mark off motorbikes, but this hasnt worked as he has a rather rare machine en-route at present, but hopefully this will get him more involved in the local EP scene here, and indeed we have been hard at work on her already. Since she landed with us
  5. si, u dont like the lights now?? ummmm...ok. as for not fillin the arches, meh, everyone has their own opinions, i love them surprise surprise and everyone at the bangor mini meet on sunday loved them so in general its a warm reception. anyways, here's some cleaned shots for your viewin, perhaps change a few minds. the improvements to the handling of the car is worth a small compromise of an inch or two gap in the arches for me, so im over the moon. mini-meet in bangor on sunday nite, al fresco stylee: clearly jay wasn't feelin very well in this VW motor... also,
  6. Cheers lads, and rob....fail my ass, its now hammer time!!! ok pics of when i collected her with dent repaired and HRF spats etc etc etc. and now with the Rays and repainted calipers. please excuse the dirt, it was clean the day before but it rained! There we go now! all up to date ...ish! that leaves the storage box to fit. i must say, drivin on 14s is a total dream! the car is so nimble and responsive, and combined with the ARB etc etc its great fun even without the turbo in yet. and the fact that they are lightweight makes her a TINY bit nippier, its most noticeable when pu
  7. thanks lads. Rays are in the shop at present and i will be collecting and fitting them tomorrow, so at last i will get to see them on the car! i apologise for the lack of pics but i shall try to rectify this with the wheels goin on. Phil.
  8. i dont even wana know. i started to keep a record once and then threw it away as it was very disturbing lol! Phil.
  9. cheers mate, £235 for the tyres i think. takin wheels up tomorrow, tyre guy is off so i'll have to go back for them on saturday. then i'll repaint each caliper as i change each wheel and fit the Rays nuts. so, sould have some funky pics with the spats and wheels all together soon. Phil.
  10. James my friend, i am simply thankful that u are still among us and among your friends and family. i hope and pray that u are truly on the mend. take care of yourself dude and thank you for having the courage to openly discuss this with us. My thoughts are with u and everyone else involved. i hope everyone takes heed of this topic, i know it has made me think long and hard about my car, driving, country roads and safety in general. take care everyone! Phil.
  11. Indeed, the Badger Set now has broadband, usin my sis's laptop until i get some home plugs so i can get my own PC online again. arranged tyres yesterday from MotorSport and Spares Ballymena, so hopefully i'll go get them fitted one day this week or next all bein well, we've gone with 195/45/14 Continentals (as thats wot they had in stock and they assure me they are a damn good tyre, that the rim should look bigger thanks to the 45 profile rather then the 55 we were goin for, and the car should sit even lower....altho, this could be a problem with carol's lane, we wait and see). so, once, the
  12. ok, broadband is in and workin quicker than anticipated, at carol's right now tho. had the car looked at yesterday, suspension is fine, turns out the ARB wasn't lubed at all so was makin nasty noises inside the bushes. also, drivers wind deflector has been stuck on with windowm adhesive as they used to be so that shouldnt come off. what this also means of course is....tyres for the 14s, which is exactly what im off to do right now!!!! the time has come! points for harness mounts are also chosen, so just need to get on with that too. i have to say tho, u lot were correct, my mechanic is a ra
  13. OK. First things first, landline is in and my 'broadband' should be active by monday nite all being well. that being said, the service where we live now is CRAP, Sky have estimated a speed of around 512k which is barely broadband, possibly up to 1mb if im lucky. the dongle runs at around 256k or somethin rubbish AT BEST tho so any hardline will be an improvement and i can actually start getting back online regularly again and get some pics thrown up. Project BadgerSport - today i received a Blitz EBC from Sparky that was posted yesterday so thats wot i call service! thats added to the FTE pi
  14. i will endeavour to meet your demands chaps. the only stop-gap on the road to the FTE from here is tyres for the Volks, had some word from Jay recently about the exhuast and the clutch, weejohn inspected the clutch and it appears to be an aftermarket item of unknown brand, should do nicely thanking you! so, exhaust is almost sorted, that pretty much just leaves an FMIC to arrange i believe and we should be good to go or near enough!!! still no sign of BT...on the count of three please everyone...1, 2, 3 BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BT!! BBBOOOOOOOOOOO!! Phil.

Phil.
  16. Brief Update The Bitch is BACK!!!! collected Project BadgerSport from CH Motorsport in Ballymartin today, with all work completed. Fender bars, ARB, wind deflectors, dent repair, bumper repair, bonnet tocuh-up from where i had a small oppsie and the HRF spats fitted with the screw hole flushed over. didnt get a chance to test out the new handling parts on the way home due to slow ass grannies, but she defo feels tighter and more responsive in the turn-in. the spats really give the back end another dimension too, not so much from a head-on angle, more when u look at the car side-on, so real

  21. ok, for all of u making EP image archives on your hard drives like me and SiCaln, here's some pics of the OEM Optional Storage box for the passenger footwell. I've never come across another one in all my years on UKSC, only ever heard them talked about, so i'm really chuffed with this purchase! the OEM optionas voices are still shouting in my head tho!!!! Open wide and say 'aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh' Phil.
  22. Im currently 25, and i'll be 25 when my FTE goes in, its no secret that a conversion is more expensive to insure than a V or GT because its a conversion. My insurance fully comp on the 4EFE 6yrs NCB, IAM licence is £474, when i add the 4E-FTE it goes up by 20%, so £561 or so. Thats with Flux, the way they work out the conversion price is simply a 20% rise over your stock price. For reference, SiCaln priced a 4E-FTE conversion on his old SR when he was 18/19 yrs old or so, as u know he lives in Kent, they wanted £2500. So imagine tryin to insure a conversion in NI at t
  23. TTE'ish is right spark dog but not TTE, damn smart tho!!!!! some awesome pics!!!! thanks for sharing them with us!!! Phil.
  24. 2009...its all about an FTE (or MORE than one?? cryptic cryptic) and the rebirth of the Joz-mobile! should be amazin man! cant wait to see the 2 cars side by side again!
