Cheers everyone!

Na never fixed them, just bought some new ones.

Well nothing's really been happening, went to tax it last weekend only to find out I've had no mot for a while, so it's been an expensive week, and the battery's fucked, and the rad cap decided to blow off and dump all the coolant out and it's got a very loud and worrying knock/bang when turning left and accelerating.

I'm just gonna drive it into the ground I think now, literally.

So, not a good time for the stanceslut!

Bought myself a shiny new civic rad recently, thought I try and flush out the system with some rad flush, all of a sudden the inside of the car stank! Heater matrix is leaking again, so that's just got bypassed as I refuse to pull the dash out again

Gearbox is rattling it's tits off when you rev and let off, always been whiny and shit getting gears

Engine is way overdue a timing belt, and the oil light keeps coming on idle, guessing it's loosing oil pressure or something of the sorts.

At high revs it stinks of oil especially on overrun

Broken the back box in some way, just wobbles about and vibrates pops very nicely now though

So basically, I refuse to spend any more money on the car, currently hoping it lasts long enough till I can save up some money, if not I may be driving my girlfriends old corsa ( an absolute last resort as I fucking hate corsas!)

And, the underneath is not looking healthy

How this isn't leaking yet I do not know

And it turns out a slammed starlet does need a chassis notch

This cars not at home unless I'm underneath it

But shiny rad! The fitting kit that came with it was dreadful

So yeah, my original plan was to get a gt turbo next, but as winters coming up I might have to settle for another n/a (sigh) but we'll see what happens, maybe I'll win big on a scratch card...

So, my sunday consisted in this

C3E80471-5349-4B41-9D95-18BCB5188575_zps



Which resulted in this lovely bit of paper



C8416745-B575-4787-AE8F-63F3E3D4B7AF_zps



Prohibited from road use, need to get it re-mot'd before i can drive it again, time to sell the bandeds and properly start the gt turbo fund!



Wish me luck as I make minimum wage!

Not good!

did they let you drive away home yeh?

To be honest the wishbones look but dangerous to me.

Hope things work out for you anyway.

Hope to see you in a turbo starlet soon.

Nope had to get the car towed to my work, luckily a mate of mine has a trailer for his drift car aha so he picked it up for me

Wishbones dangerous? The only dangerous thing about it is the biscuit wheels i now have to run on the back!

Anyway, it took me literally 20 mins to fix the car and punt it off for another mot

FAF01E84-AB72-4240-A4B7-BB483086654C_zps

So ive been driving it like this, going sideways everywhere when it rains and it i even push it a little bit in the dry

34A0A40F-7FF4-4371-A223-51D596B54B32_zps

And because the rear tyres are bigger its pushed the front end down more

D62CCC0D-8226-4CBA-8008-28D9EBE9BE11_zps

Its finally cracked, chucked some chemical metal on there and its slowed the leak down.

Which brings me to sadly show you guys what ill be driving soon, it kills me a little inside

So yeah, the rovers on the road, its so boaty and boring! But coilovers for it are on the way.



Would anyone be interested in parts off the starlet? Ill be keeping the coilies, rad and wheels for definate!



Just a quick one of them both, theyre both insured tax and motd, starlet wont be insured after next week so ill probly start taking it apart if theres any interest
