  1. yeh, i was on scoobynet last nite, i seen a few on there, there is alot on pistonheads aswell, the different models are still confusing me tho lol, and also the price difference between cars, that too me look to be more or less the same spec. see, ive got a CD30 on my license, im 25 with 2 yrs ncb, but insurance quotes for me are still in the region of 2k, i really like the look of the hawkeye, but ive been told to steer clear of the 2.5 engine. dont you wanna sell yours lol. im also only really interested in white or black, but most of the cars forsale are the blue, and its too common for
  2. should clean it and take more pics, some of your pics have bird shite on the car, thats just plain lazy, and to be honest, i wouldnt buy a car of some1 who was too lazy to clean it for a forsale advert. your conversion for mileage is wrong, which would put me of it, what does the clock read on the last MOT, as you changing at 100k is 62k, plus the further 4k is 66k. you not being sure on the miles is also lazy in the advert, why did u fit mph converter? as it could be 100k in miles, its tricky one to convert them, as there is no real proof of the mileage now. you have a hybrid turbo, and a
  3. how was the mapping? whats the car like for insurance, and your age and convictions etc?? whats it like daily? im looking at buyin the same model, or a spec C import. cheers
  4. of the turbo aswell, and the manifold flange, will give an idea of what might fit. looks cool.
  5. i suppose im in a lucky situation, ive been away, and in college for a long time, but now i earn a good wage, ive just about finished buying my parents house, as my mum lived in a council house renting for 20 years, this pissed me off, but she got 50% of the house price, so i put 10k on it last year, and bought the rest of it this year, its in my mums name, due to council regulations, but its my house, and when it comes to a mortgage on my own place, ive got 70k house as collaterall. when im on shore, i live at mums, or my gf's so i have no outgoings, and can currently save around 30k a year,
  6. i dont drink too often, but when i do, its generally smashed, maybe once in 3 months, mainly due to work and what not. it usually consists of snooker club at midday, pub for lunch, back to snooker club and watch soccer saturday whilst playin, then head to all you can eat, back to one of the boys houses, play poker, £50 a head. and then head out after. oh and poker winner has to pay taxi, and first round in pub. generally we spend sunday laughin at/about each other antics, or who won the "biggest bird" competition.
  7. i have these, i think i have mine set 6 clicks from hard.(front and back) and my car seems to bottom out on the passenger side when i turn right a bit on a bumpy road. will this be caused by the settins i have? im offshore, but will be home in 5 weeks, so im guna change them to the above mentioned settings. cheers
  8. too me, that is too much material on that sump plug.
  9. am just going looking for a toms kit for mine, just the front bumper im not too sure on. lovely
  10. how low are you? what wheels do you have fitted?
  11. there wer forsale on tgtt, for around 6 minutes haha, one of the valves is a little bit dodgey, but they got new prada's on them, an i picked them up for £300. so i kinda couldnt say no. cheers
  12. looks a decent spec. sure its on tgtt, but not seen it forsale. did he say whats causd it to go? prob management.
  13. well, there are plenty others to look at, but to be honest, buying a car needing an engine, imho means you will need to have a grand in your pocket to get an engine, bearing in mind, whatever engine you buy, needs a full service, belts the lot before you fit it. and your still taking the risk by relying on someones word about a 2nd hand engine.
  14. this is for that black gt?
  15. so with a fucked engine, the fella still wants £2400 for it? is it the one the guy was fucking around with the price on? for £2400 you could get yerself a nice wee motor, and put yer money into good mods. that you want. do you need the rallye to sell before you buy?
  16. aye, turn it over, make sure it turns, buying a used engine is always taking a chance, hence why even tho they only cost £500, a caar with an engine missing, cost atleast a grand less than if it had one fitted. can i ask why your looking at buying one without an engine? did the rallye sell?
  17. prob £250. £45 a wheel being refurbed, loosing out on them, but they aint much use to me. i will be home on monday, and know the tyres, there all legal, maybe 4 or 5 mm i think.
  18. there 16's. kinda hard to tell because there black, there quite smart, maybe get better pics from google 5zigen fno1r they are. aint seen to many of them. did see them on a storm performance gt in white, they looked cool.
  19. I'll take that as a compliment lol my 5zigens might be forsale soon, the ones that wer on the car before, going for a refurb on monday, you could even pick a colour, although there preliminary white powdercoat.
  20. cheers folks, the suspension is on order, then i think its time to play with under the bonnet.
  21. well, decided to get some new wheels, as mine need a refurb, but i like the new ones, and think there gunna get a refurb, and just stay on, unless i find a nice wee mx5 for them. all opinions welcome, next is lowering, prob some time next week.
  22. quite big on the mx5 scene, they like emanage, and megasquirt, so you might get alot of techy people from there, altho not sure on mx5nutz how they allow links to other sites or that. i too, probably wouldnt share a map i paid good money for, ok base maps, to get hte car ticking over, but sharing maps is n0ot a good game, and might put alot of people out Chris Carson already maps emanage for around £100, why take a chance of some1 else map, when its so cheap. fair enough thats ireland. although dont get me wrong, i think its a good idea, and will be a handy site.
  23. by using a bar, and seeing how much it moves. more inclined to think it might be driveshaft. are the CV boots in good nic?
