  1. I wouldnt chance it mate, driving with no mot invalidates your insurance!

    I left for work on a monday morning last month, drove round the corner to the post office (to tax my van), jumped out with my paperwork in hand. Cops pull in and done me for having no tax which apparently also invalidates your insurance, he was threatening to do me for no insurance too when i was pleading my case!

    ...what an arsehole

  2. How you going to get round the mot? Seats have to slide back and forth but then again with it being stripped in the back you'll probably get away with it.

    Low seats are awesome for driving position I love mine.

    This only applys if they're on sliders I believe, if they're blatantly bolted straight in it (used) to be okay

  3. Haha tyre screech in second video, bless the little starlet trying it's best :D

    Story of my life today! Can't blame the starlet though...just the tyres :p

    Good effort man, liking this project! NA's definitely have some potential with a bit of money spent on the handling! GT/V carriers and discs are a great upgrade!

    For what it is it really did feel rather composed, and considering the completely less than ideal setup (consisting of old fucked shocks, springs, ditch finders, no bracing at all etc) it really did hold its own quite well, power wise I didn't feel like it lacked at all for the tight twisty track, basicly kept with the 1.6 mx5's down the back straight, then other than that its all top end of second/third gear work! I feel like with 130-140 horsepower and the right setup it could be a absolute machine around this track!

    in defense of the dodgy looking line...that middle bit of re layered tarmac is alot more grippy than the inside line!

  4. So been driving around for a while now with the seats in and the exhaust on and somehow ended up doing half a track day at the last minute today!



    The seats are amazing, and I'm quite liking the exhaust but it might need a baffle or something for some daily driving haven't decided yet!



    Couple of video's from the outside, only short clips really!

    General thoughts from the trackday; Fucking love the seats! New front tyres needed, the Uniroyal rainexperts (not sports!) dont quite cut it once they get any heat in them, possibly some better sized alloys or spacers needed to to get some bigger calipers in there at somepoint as I was really really punishing the brakes and not getting what I wanted from them all while they heated up to about 543543534534degrees!



    The shocks and springs is better handling than standard, but has its issues here and there, will defo fine on them till some decent coilovers though!


  5. Sold on for parts mate :D

    Parts been...limbs?! ...got any legs left mate?

    Have you guys heard the latest? Apparently they've found that the plane was flying for 7 hours after losing contact, and they've also found that the communication system was purposely disengaged. Shit just got real! I wonder how true this is

    Had a small proper conversation with a mate about this earlier; Seems like its been hijacked by someone who seriously knew what they were doing, as far as he mentioned 2 minutes after switching airspace more or less everything that could be knocked off was and (not sure how true this bit is) they believe it flew straight up and turned round, then dropped down below radar level!

  6. Small update, mostly good...little bit of bad!



    So...got a HKS HiPower Silent on, welded in with a reducer, nice and quiet when you try hard enough to make it that way...but fucking awesome when you open it up!



    Only picture I have atm, will get some proper ones soon with a video!

    And the bad bit....might need a new shock...slightly...


    Gonna get some KYB excel's on the back for now, hopefully the fronts can hold out till I get some coilies!

  7. That's exactly how i plan on doing it. Cut/Weld cheapest way.

    Did the front not line up? I read sometimes the front two evo/honda ones will go on its just the rear that will need welding. In other threads i read all 4. Doesn't really matter. But welding 2 instead of 4 is cheaper.

    No idea mate didnt even try to line them up so it could work but I couldn't tell you :)
