bdohohh

this is bullshit mate, hate parking my car in car parks because of inconsiderate bastards like this. Hope theres cctv or something.

SOOO many pics from sunday, keep finding more on fb haha. I'm sure I remember people complaining last year at this about not enough photos so obviously they listen to criticism!

And more

just a few more

Hopefully the first of a few photos of my car from a charity cruise on sunday ;) Have to admit she was looking well, spent two days cleaning so I'd like to feckin think so.

Hahahaha my car is definitely more stunning. It's a lot more high maintenance anyway haha

thanks buddy

All shiny for a charity cruise tomorrow

Haha no don't worry I get what you're saying I hate when people misuse motorway lanes it's one of my biggest problems on the roads, I'll sit behind someone in the left lane to try and make it obvious that I'm refusing to undertake to try and make them move in haha.

I've seen them hide behind signs, walls etc which they're 100% not allowed to do haha I was in the middle of three lanes because the left lane was basically a long slip road. I was in the left lane the entire way then moved into the middle just about 1/2 a mile before the left lane leaves the motorway and it becomes a two lane carriageway, but two people sped past me in the left lane and undertook me even though I was at the limit. (one of them crossed the chevrons because they moved in front of me just as the left lane actually pulled away and the police did nothing) I totally agree with you, I never sit anywhere but the left lane and even if there's another car ahead I always pull in after I overtake even if I'm going faster/no cars behind me etc. And I always correct people when they say fast/slow lane haha its one of my pet peeves. I was caught speeding on the motorway, I forgot (entirely my fault) that it stopped being motorway and became a carriageway cause it isn't signposted that well, and was sitting at 80 when it was a 50, so I was speeding either way haha. Popo caught me and gave me a stern warning, hence why I'm usually 100% fine with them cause I think they're super fair. But the only reason this annoyed me was like I said, people pulling illegal and dangerous manoeuvres all round me and they ignored them to tailgate me >.<

I'm so used to it now Phil that I just ignore them! It happens to me so much. I know what cars the cops have and where they use them so I'm always watching out for them. I have utmost respect for PSNI but the traffic branch seem to have nothing better to do these days! I wouldn't be surprised if they were just trying to get an easy few £ out of me.

Have a serious bone to pick with the PSNI haha, anyone who has me on fb will see my ongoing issue with them. I so appreciate that loads of cars over here are illegal modified and what not and that the traffic branch are meant to deal with traffic offences, so there's no point saying "why arent they out stopping murders" etc. But some seriously dodgy policing was going on tonight. I was cruising up the motorway, in the middle lane because it was about 1/2 a mile away from where the left lane leaves and it becomes a two lane dual carriageway (I had been in the left lane up until this point.) Undercover cop car (they've pulled me over before and I noted the reg haha, so I'm 100% sure it was them before I even got a look at them) pulls up unreasonably close, like properly tailgating me. I've had this happen to me before, undercover cars trying to get me to speed but I was sitting at the limit so whatever. My main issue was that they continued to follow me for miles, sitting at the speed limit, while two cars come into the left lane (which was basically a long slip road at this point) and undertook me, and cars were passing me well over the speed limit in the outer lane. Eventually when the motorway opened up to five lanes, I moved over because it split into two different roads, and they stayed on the other side, where they sped up to pull up beside me and both of them fully glared in for ages. I appreciate that car in particular has pulled me before, but seriously when it gets to the point that they're so convinced a modified car is going to do something wrong just because its modified, that they ignore people actually breaking the law, I just don't know what to do anymore! Anyway, I just seriously needed a rant to people who wouldn't tell me that if I didn't want harassed I should just buy a "normal car", which believe it or not someone said to me when I told them this story. Sorry, /rant haha

Saw this on facebook, almost cried when I saw the rear bubble lights It'll do for a run about, I'm sure you'll get it looking tidy soon enough!

Thanks sir! The improvement from the arb and strut brace is unreal! I barely feel bumps in the road anymore and going round corners is nice now! I can't wait for Sunday! Hope the weather is as nice as it was today!

Ahh that's always the way of it! Haha I'm genuinely excited to see how it turns out haha

So we got lots done! Fixed the rattle of my exhaust, fitted my cusco anti roll bar and rear strut brace, and my oem arm rest. Also painted the rest of my clock surround and centre console to match the clocks Excuse the mess in my boot haha Lighting went weird so they look grey but they're the same as:

It's the same here, most of the scene is about welding your diff, lowering it to within an inch of its life and then diffing it everywhere so most cars last 1 year or less. Or the other end of the scale with 18 year olds getting finance on brand new golf r's that they keep for a year then trade in. I don't see the point.

Any updates on this coming back from mappers? very interested to see what power you get. You've probably already said but what bar you running?

So true, genuinely one of my biggest issues is when people especially with modified cars, don't look after them right. Especially nice jap ones. I'm only 20 and a girl who only got into the scene 4/5 years ago and I know how to look after my car better than most of my family members, as well as a shit tonne of other modifiers haha. There's one or two starlets over here that break my heart cause I've seen them multiple times driving the car to the ragged edge on a standard engine. I'm all for having fun but you're just asking for shit, and if a starlet gets wrecked insurance won't do shit they'll just cat c it almost definitely. you hit a soft spot there, haha im sure you can tell /rant

Yup the shit that man knows and figures out I swear to god he's like a car robot! We had a brief moment of holy shit, is this a sneaky 5e?! But it's definitely just a 4e sadly Who knows what they were trying to do but it definitely didn't help! Considering, like you said, how well looked after it was, I'm going to assume they ragged the shit out of it and tried to get it to be faster than it actually was, and in the process destroyed the internals! I don't see how else it could be so fucked with so few miles!

we think its the piston rings that are screwed, but to be honest the way this engine is going everything is probably fucked. I properly cannot wait to get it out and dissected to find out what its issue is haha. For now! Something else is bound to blow up now that we've fixed every problem she's had.

Also fixed fueling issues! Apparently someone must have changed all the sensors to ones that look similar but just don't quite cut out. The fuel regulator sensor was from a 5e haha so we swapped a 4e one in from a corolla but at least it was from the right engine, low and behold when I rev above 4k now I just get blue smoke no more black. Should keep my tailgate a bit happier anyway.

Look what arrived

so actually getting round to doing some stuff to this! definitely going to fit the cusco rear arb and rear strut brace this weekend, plus change a few sensors cause she's overfuelling. Also need to have a look at the exhaust, sounds like the heatshield is rattling off something. Also going to fit my oem armrest, which was postponed as we need to take the seats out to do it because they're in the way haha. also if the weather tomorrow is alright I'm planning on giving her a good clean, been cleaning her A LOT the past few weeks so she doesnt really need it but its so much easier to do when shes already clean rather than letting the dirt build up and then have to whip out the clay bar and fallout remover etc. Plus there's a show/cruise here the last weekend in june and the more I polish her the smoother she'll be so gonna try and get one or two polishes in before the final one haha. Being off from uni is a terrible thing, still struggle to understand why they give us a 4 month summer...
