  1. Haha thats the way to do it lol, if i am far enough back and there is nobody up my arse then i will let someone out obviously, but normally when i do they either hold me up or dont say thanks, which is rather annoying and they do mormally receive a finger or two in return ;) All jokes aside i dont drive dangerously in built up areas or where there are people walking. Nice open road though with good conditions and youd think id stolen the car hahaha.
  2. Especially when using a puller thats not really ment for it lol. That box was fucked anyway, sold it to a pikey scrap man in the end haha. Should have kept it for the 1st gear though, 85 one is insanely short :/
  3. Turbo is defo relocated above the gearbox, theres not much room for a TD04 at the front of a mini. The guy is turning down offers of 7.5K. Fucking hell, could have bought Burnys V for less than that haha.
  4. Fair enough :/ I just hope somebody buys the shell and keeps it on the road, looks like a good example.
  5. Id offer to do it dude but last time i had one of these boxes apart i broke half the teeth off 5th gear lol. I'll just stick to doing Hyundai boxes haha.
  6. If you leave it sitting there then yeah it'll eventually rust. For now ive just taken the grommet out because my car is off the road but i'll need to look into it. Check all around the rear lights, bet it'll be comin in through there.
  7. I had it in my old GT, i reckoned it was coming in the rear windows because it felt that they were never fully shut. Never got round to fixing it though. Tiny puddle in the 85 boot aswell ghrrr :/
  8. Toyota dot 5.1 is what most of use, thats fine for kinda fast road use, you can get other more expensive stuff for track use though.
  9. I went for an Exedy 3 Puk clutch kit, many people have ran them on fairly high power TD04 setups and they can handle the power/torque. Not driven with mine yet as the car isnt running but the pedal feels solid, proper ankle snapper which is a good sign I got mine 2nd hand with a few K miles but new they are 300 or so on camskill. I had a spec 6 puk on my old GT which was very good, handled TD04 @ 1 bar with ease.
  10. Bulb out most likely. Easy to replace, lower the steering wheel, few trims and the dial surround off with a couple of screws, 10mm bolt, pull clocks as far forward as you can, hand round the back, pull out speedo cable and a few multiplugs and then the clocks will be out. Take the bulb down to the motor factors, think its a T4 or something but i cannot be 100% sure.
  11. Im sure there is another yellow one about, i seen one a few years ago in Aberdeen. Probably this same one thats now down Edinburgh way.
  12. Has it got black stripes down it ?
  13. Gonna superglue 3 brake pads to each side ?
  14. Do like that. Do they still do a 4WD Vitz ? The 4WD ones used to be all N/a autos though.
  15. Same, my Legacy is a tank.
  16. I hate folk that just pull out infront of you, especially in a slow car, its just dangerous, because you need to brake hard sometimes and run the risk of the guy behind you smashing into the car. I just about T-boned a stupid bitch in a new clio this morning lol, she pulled out of a junction quite slowly thinking i was gonna let her out, not a chance lol i was late for work.
  17. Surely youd make more money repairing it and selling it as a full car. There cant be much money in breaking a near standard V.
  18. Thought it was you who had them but wasnt sure, i love the retro look to them.
  19. Very i'd say, you found a set in 4x100 ? Last ones i saw were 5xsomething
  20. Again with the FWD craic haha. Defooo gonna rip all that drivetrain out man, too much weight y0.
  21. Same man, a KO'd in the back of Ross' GT on the way back up lol, Sean was out aswell haha, fuck knows how Ross managed it like. 6 pack of redbull probably haha.
  22. I just realised i'll have the limiter in the 85 then because am using a GT ECU, not that it makes much difference because 4paws are supposed to top out at 130 ish anyway :/
  23. Aye well last time we never bothered with a hotel but i felt shattered and i wasnt even driving lol. I'll be getting a hotel this time prob for the sat night so i get a sleep before heading back up the road. Sure the majority of us will have them on the road haha. I'll need to put the hearers and radio back in beforehand lol.
  24. Probably about 40 grand.
  25. It works lol. Ive never had a come-back in work yet for any wheels or mounts etc coming loose. FT is the best way !! Within reason of course
