what an epic project, enjoyed reading that! looks fantastic dude! Phil.

ouch! expensive. here in NI at Kirkistown there are days run by "Trackskills", where essentially you register with them for a year (maybe £100) and then for ~£50 you can run what you have each time they hold a day at Kirky (pretty regular I believe). this therefore makes it MUCH cheaper than the £9000 above. is there nothing similar to this on the mainland that you could all arrange to meet at/join and hold an event along side? just a thought. here is a link for more exact prices as i was just estimating: http://www.trackskills.com/ Phil.

i'm a giant raging pussy. fucking terrified of them. i have to get my mum or mrs to deal with them (seriously). terrified of them. hate them all. Phil.

welcome along Rick! Phil.

i can confirm what simon has stated, dipped. Phil.

great work dude. fancy one of those brackets myself, kudos on the DIY skillz! Phil.

cheers guys. long winter of wiring ahead of us! Phil.

cheers gents. no boosting yet, alan was very specific about that. being off the road for over a year, and sat on stands for the last 4 or 5 months, boost wouldnt have been too clever for her, she saw maybe 0.5 bar tops but pretty easy driving, no full beans. we'll see about getting it moved and putting a few miles on it before opening the taps. the brakes are non-existent right now, so i wouldnt want to be doing anything too spirited in her yet. Next is move it, then Joel and I will set to work wiring in the gauges. Phil.

looks well dude! nice work! Phil.

never seen a GT in Castrol livery before, interesting! bit pricey though for some decals. Phil.

looks really well, very nice colour, very tidy. enjoy! Phil.

exactly. if i had £400 i would have the EGR and DPF deleted with a map from J Cargo, however, thats SILLY money, thing is it would increase performance AND economy, and stop this limp mode shite, but £400!!!!! to map the daily! bugger that! what use is warranty when they KNOW FULL WELL what the problem is, and that its common to all 159 diesels, and refuse to just clean it out for u. wankers. Phil.

just testing them, 6 for £10 was the offer on both of them so thought that would do for today. also bro, that new maidenhead, fucking MADNESS on a saturday! fucking pricks lifting kids up to look into tanks when NONE of them actually keep fish! just nosey wankers who COMPLETELY block the isles with prams and shite! total bollox! nobody buying anything, just being fucking annoying and passing time! wankers. Phil.

6 rummy nose and 6 glowlight tetras picked up today. win. Phil.

yeah, it aint behaving the way it should right now tbh. going up to the folks' tomorrow to meet alan and joel to look at the starlet, and while there i'm going to rotate the tires as the "Wanli" tires on the front are f**king dangerous. plenty of tread, but no grip. so swapping the hankooks to the front, thereby saving £200+. checked with the dealers, EGR and DPF aint covered under warranty...of course, so going to have to fork out to sort those! feck! Phil.
