  1. Personally think that's a piss take lol. Really annoys me on ebay that as a seller you can't leave bad feedback for a buyer.
  2. Strange... I've seen it happen to the cheaper tyres like I said but wouldn't have expected it from s drives. I have them on my GT and no problems... saying that I do get a wheel wobble but I'm pretty sure it will be balancing lol. I've never understood why it happens but it's got to be down to the rating of the tyres and the abuse they get I imagine. Also the tyre pressures? I always just thought it was down to cheaply made tyres not being rated properly to what they said they were.
  3. This does happen very rarely bit usually to crappy budget tyres such as ling longs, West lakes or wanli. I agree with Jamie. Check your weights are still on the wheels and then run your hands around the tyres to feel for any bulges. Make sure you check the walls too including the inside walls. Also check the tread to feel if it goes up and down a bit like a Mexican wave as you run your hands around. Does it do it all the time or just certain speeds?
  4. Nottingham. I won't post either in case you ask lol. Collection only.
  5. It's not my first no. I had a mk3 not long ago. Had it for a good 3 years bit sold it to turbo an eg civic I had but then ended up losing love for it and here I am again lol!... You might have flashed. I'm usually in my own little world lol!!... What problems are you having??
  6. I have a full set of gt seats going really cheap at £50. Need them out my space . Send me a pm if you're interested.
  7. Wellllll I went too hard when flattening back the roof roof and roof and ended going back to primer under the new paint. Shouldn't have gone so far with the primer and chances are it would have been fine but this is a project and a learning curve after all ;). Through the blend So... The roof needs painting ideally. I thought it makes sense anyway seeing as there's been long standing bird shit on there in the past anyway having left loads of marks that I can't get rid of plus there's another dent in the roof that I didn't originally notice.... So currently the bodywork looks like this... T
  8. Awesome !! I will start it at the beginning of next month then? Better go get a photo myself to start it off haha.
  9. Aup mate . Yeah the mk1 is mine but! I've only had it 2 weeks and I'm half way through sorting the bodywork so it looks shit AND my mates get excited over a turbo and started revving it, that wasn't me if you heard lol! 91 looks nice pal. I go to the poets quite often because a few of my.mates work there. Might see you there again some time
  10. I'd be happy to do this? Not to steal sexy boys roll haha. Could just do it temp for you or something?
  11. edit first post, then go onto full editor
  12. I'll update this bit for you ... Not long ago Jo had a little bump into the back of another car. No major issue but it did push the front end in a little. So I had the pleasure of fixing it being "the one with the bodywork knowledge" (this is also a good example of being a good partner, even if she makes me out to be shit ). The main sign was that the driver's light was pointing inward like a lazy eye. Made little SOB look a little challenged! When you popped the bonnet a sure sign was the radiator being pushed back against the battery. Luckily not damaged though Also this made it pret
  13. Bargain haha! My suggestion would be do whatever you want and ignore everyone else . Have fun mate
  14. Should probably change the title haha
  15. Once or twice when I needed to take US somewhere lol. Clearly someones on my case lol. I don't cost anything? It's really annoyed me that you've said that... We will never win evidently
  16. Because poor boyfriend has to spend all the small amount of pennies he has on fuel to drive his lazy girlfriend around
  17. That's it mate you're doing it right haha! Although thinners does remove a lot as I said, I'm not sure if it's strong enough for your tip
  18. I'm still learning myself to be honest buddy! I've done paint here and there for years but don't know it all... I personally learn from trial and error, just getting out there and doing it. Can't really risk it on "customer" cars though ... But depending on what you need doing I may be able to help? Cheers ! I'm using the paint mixed by my local shop. It's a 2k as it's a solid colour and I prefer to use a 2k solid rather than base coat and clear. Just quicker and easier in my opinion. That's what I thought haha! You'll find thinner removes quite a lot of stuff. Actually pretty good on tar
  19. If you're ever out of work, put enough aside to pay the bills for 4 months and give it a go. Budget as well as you can and just go do whatever takes your fancy! I didn't enjoy my previous job one bit, so most the time I was there I was thinking of what else I could be doing with my time lol! I'm busy most the time surprisingly. I find that I WANT to do stuff that I didn't give a shit about before because I didn't care for it, being too tired or fed up etc. Simple stuff like I mow the lawn every week or turn the soil because I want to, sanded down the garden gate the other week ready to paint
  20. I'm currently having myself a gap year. Or something like that lol! I make my money from doing paint jobs and producing, editing or even just the filming of video. Do other bits and bobs too like mechanics for most my mates, buy fix and sell cars when a good earner pops up. So far from my experience of going from full time work with lots of money to complete bum and scraping by but doing what I want, I'd say that everyone should try it! We're all too hooked into jobs to earn money, pay bills and buy shit we don't need. Everyone is too busy trying to build something so that they can live, and e
  21. I used to work at National Tyres so had chance to play about with my tracking a bit. I personally felt that +1 toe in worked well for me. I used to have my BCs rebound set about half way on the rear and about 10 clicks from the hardest on the front and I liked it around there for road although it was a bit skippy on rougher roads. Never actually played around with the camber properly but guessed and gave it a bit... Whether it was ever in line or not is another question but it drove nice lol! Bit of camber made it feel more "point and shoot" in the corners. Used to be really grippy and the fir
  22. Hi mate I'll pm you exactly what I have tomorrow. Cheers.
  23. Open to offers too. Really need this gone...
  24. I'm sure it will be worth it when it's done mate ... I certainly will be putting it back on although it does have a bit missing out of it for some reason. Looks like it been chewed or something lol! I ask my buddy who works for toyota how much they were and apparently with staff discount they're still about £110 each! So get one from a scrap car if I were you lol. I will be eventually.
