  1. Can you not adjust it on the calipers themselves? its always better to adjust them at the back than just winding the cable up. IF you can do it anyway:P
  2. Thanks very much lads, much appreciated. and Amjad im still unsure matey, been mega busy this year and have bugger all planned, need to sort out a load of things tbh! And on the wheels, yeh i did like the black, But i was almost sick of the colour, wasnt as "jap" as i would have liked, and every chav in the northeast has black wheels, and it pissed me off as i was the same as everybody else and nobody payed attention as i was the usual "Black wheels mate" Crew! And also the paint was flaking off left right and center and looked fecking disgusting Once the paint has cured by this weekend im
  3. Small update, some of you may remember my thread in november about the wanker tboning me, well after much persuasion i have got the cheque through from his insurance company so my car has been repaired (And a few more bits he also "damaged" " ) And here are the results, it does need a bloody good polish as i havent done it since october, but you get the idea, Will put a few more pictures up on the weekend after its been polished and a few 2012 changes i havent yet shown anybody... Centrecaps are coming on tuesday dont worry, they couldnt be baked along with the wheels! Thanks for l

  6. Dude what mods do you have to get that power? thats mega!
  7. Only because your a jammy bastard phil!
  8. How old are you mate? as 3.5k can no way be a glanza, i cant get insured for less than like 5grand and thats 6000miles a year, live in a VERY low risk area, years no claims etc etc. I was lucky to get 3.5k insurance on my N/A when i was 17....
  9. That looks immaculate dude! :0 cant wait to see it with the front end on. Oh and i spy no copper grease on them brakes man!!
  10. Looks so fresh liam, the front end has grown massively on me and i love it! One thing i have to say though, either dewiper Or get a Punto wiper whacked on it, makes it look so much cleaner!
  11. They just push in lol, held in place with a locknut. Easy peasy
  12. ^^ Yeh good film! Went to see Safe House last night and it was brilliant, a good 7/10, one of them films you have to have your head screwed on though or you will lose track lol
  13. Just started last week and sort of randomnly cycling the gym doing different parts of my body. Really need a good routine to stick to. Anybody have any reccomendations for a workout? Thanks
  14. Any decent 5.1 brake fluid will be good enough mate:) Cars looking brilliant keep it up!
  15. Mate its brutal:/ Any proven ideas to actually make it better? Our friggin scooby doesnt do far off that....
  16. Bumping up an old thread, Just checked the fuel economy on mine, full tank of normal shell fuel and i got 277miles and the needle was well off the bottom, so running on fumes. I worked this out to a 45litre tank? and got 28mpg. This was a combination of hard driving, pootling in 5th gear etc. And i think its shite tbh! What was everyone else getting out of the n/as?
  17. Dont break it dai! Its a very old car now, you cant expect to buy it and run it as you did the n/a, theres just no chance. Fix the problems and love it, these are going to go up in value... No point breaking it would just cause more stress if you cant sort a head issue out mate!
  18. Yeh it is a good film, proper choking in a few bits as well wasnt expecting it from a small british film!
  19. Old film, but recently found this. Was never released in the cinemas, but one of the best films i have ever seen without a doubt.
  20. Will try running it upto temp with it off and see if it works, and yeh ran water throught the bulkhead and thats all fine. And tbh not much air does come out, makes loadsa noise but not too much air comes out. Didnt know these had a cabin filter where the hell is it?
  21. Thankyou ever so much! Was wondering if they had a resistor card for the heater, But i had no idea where to start looking lol! Will have to check that at work and solder it up:) And morgey doubt theres anything wrong with the heating in that way, i always check the water etc so i doubt its that? Could still try. and it also gets upto temp as normal, thermostat was replaced last year i think because it was fubared, May try the running upto temp with the rad cap on though but the level hasnt dropped at all, and even opening the cap when its hot just spurts hot water out as usual? Im starting to
  22. Right for a while now my heating on full heat has been say lukewarm? its just warm enough to defrost the car after a long time, But its still properly shit and isnt as hot as it used to be. Cold is as usual cold... Now the blowers regardless of what Setting apart from the highest dont work, so its either full bore or fuck all lol. so far i have tried Sticking a hosepipe in the inlet/outlet pipes Checking the wires/flaps under the dash which seem to be working fine? Car is a UK Spec n/a Thanks
  23. Micky there is no fix mate, scrap it or sell it to me? ;)
