I think 265 works on the front as well. I'm running them with a 305 on the rear.

Nah, it's the oblivious ones doing 35 in a 60 in a Daewoo Matiz that force every other normal driver to risk an overtake when they really shouldn't.  These guys need locking up!!

My wife and I noticed the same.

Why is it always a Matiz FFS?

From what I remember 250@wheels will be plenty for an S12, you been on a drift day yet?

lol, it's definitely plenty on the road.

Not yet but will be doing some track days and drift days at some point but I can confirm that on our workshop carpark she's very capable of huge and very controlable donuts 

Quick update, done about 800 miles shake down and a few road trips and shows this year, she's been pretty well behaved other than an ECU issue but Mark sorted out FOC exchange with Link.

The last dyno run was 252whp, could maybe squeeze a tiny bit more with plenum spacer but I don't want the bonnet any higher although might see if I can get a different bonnet at a later date, but I'm fine and it's plenty for grin factor.

Is the JW reg for John Wayne? It looks like Gacy's crawlspace...

lol, no, and I'm not making jokes about attracting clowns either.... 

Sorry couldn't resist after that set-up...

Did the trip go without issues? I'm having the same concerns

I've done a few euro rallies with @nissanman312 , he's done way more than me and we've never had any major issues with the police or authorities.

I've bought the road tags for Germany and Switzerland on some trips but not on others so I'm not sure anyone has ever checked them.

I did a good weekday rally around wales a few years back as well, the only thing getting in the way was the sheep.

Either way it's always been fun.

Bump £400 plus postage?

Interior with new base fitted from ebay seat.

Good bolsters again 

Realised I haven't put up any pics with the new Nismo headlights on, very happy.

The wrap on the wings looks good on this image as well 

I've got a KAAZ 2 way lsd in my S12, it's great, a tad locky at very low speed but way nicer than a welder or an open diff.

GLWS

Gutted I missed it, I've been ill, not even beer related 

Was hoping to show off my new headlights.

Looks like it was a great day

Wow, I'm surprised you couldn't weigh it in.

There’s what is right in fact, and there’s what is right in law. The trouble is the car at the time belonged to the OP, not the insurer. No agreement had been made as far as finalising the claim was concerned, hence why this is not as straight forward as you may think. 

If the insurance company picked up the car and took it to a garage of their choice, surely liability rests with them?

If the owner had refused this, and collected the car and moved it to a garage of their choice, then the it is between the owner and the garage they engage.

Surely as soon as the insurance collected the car, they took responsibility for it, regardless of who owns it?

I just found this in relation to if you take your car to a garage, so, as above, surely iif the insurer has take the car, the contract exists between insurer and garage not owner?

Your car is protected under the law of bailment while it is at the garage, which means that the garage is responsible for taking reasonable care of the vehicle while it is in their possession. Under the law of bailment, you may be able to claim compensation from the garage if your car is damaged, stolen or lost while in their care.

Holy @*!#, what a pile of @*!#.

I have to agree with @davey_83, the insurers appointed agent was holding the vehicle, nothing to do with you @Bencs.

I'd be pushing hard at this point, I hope you've got everything in writing.

Just thought I'd do a tiny write up.

I've got a stupidly expensive set of Stillen Radical brakes, front and rear, and it developed an annoying pulsing and judder at high speeds.

It was driving me crazy, could't get rid of it by following bedding in process and no one I called would skim floating discs.

Really didn't want to buy stupidly expensive new discs as there was so much meat left on these.

So when the car was down at Abbey for its annual service (only managed 1000 miles this year but all fast), they sent the discs off to a specialist to skim.

Voila, no more judder.

Great job again

@Jonesluke are you cleaning all the pipes off internally, that last thing you want is some of that getting loose and hitting your engine.

I've read great things about the power it will make, if I ever feel the need for more power, I'll forge and get one of these kits.

NOW SOLD: They went for £350 collected

EDIT: Just saw a pair on ebay for £450 collection only, so will match.

I picked up some Nismo headlights so am selling my standard tired stock headlights,they need polisihing/restoring but were working perfectly, obviously I've had to use the bracket to mount my new lights.

They have been polished previously and are pretty cloudy, I think they look cloudier in real life than on the pictures, plus I got a great deal on my new light so I'm fine with these going fairly cheap to a new home.

They'd probably make a great pair for someone to get new lenses for and fit a halo or a cheap way of getting back on the road if you've been unlucky enough to have crashed and bust your lights.

£500 including insured postage, or £450 collected.

Open to offers.

Collection preferred.

PS. Cars only done about 35000 miles, so ballasts haven't had much use.

Just looking at that picture, it doesn't look like there is the space to run a crash bar?

Is there a custom option or does something have to be fabricated?

I've used Prodriver to move cars for me a few times, might be worth seeing if them or someone similar can just transport it for you, just to be on the safe side?

I had a Raleigh Burner in that scheme. Love it.

 

Tbf the sign on the roof makes it look worse than it is surely? 

I agree, although it isn't to my taste, someone liked it.

Or maybe they didn't and that's why is for sale........

Wow, great to have a catch up with this mega build, top work as always

I could give a copy of my chicken with white wine and tarragon recipe to a penguin, but I’m not sure it would taste good

 

Davey makes a good point though, I recently took mine to this lot, recommended to me from another forum, for a factory set up. They got me in quick and were well priced, they were aligning to pork factory specs but I’m certain they’d happily work to your spec sheet though.

Pork Factory?

Beat me to it again you pesky bargain hunter

 

They will look great 

Sorry, If you see any more recaros let me know, yours look perfect 

Little update, I've managed to find some Nismo headlights for a bargain price, so will be swapping them out in the near future.

Bit of a mega trek to get them but the seller did me a great deal. Thanks Greg if you're on here, lovely bagged nismo btw 

Standby for pics

I'll be polishing mine and putting them up if anyone needs some to do a halo job or has been unfortunate enough to need some due to damage. 

Quick update as I haven't posted for a while.

The bolster went on the driver side, I did look at recovering but while it was far more reasonable than new seats, I was hoping for a better (cheaper) solution.

Ebay supplied some gold again, a 29000 mile drivers seat with a blown side airbag, good condition other than airbag and the seller was a star and even dropped it off for no extra charge.

Bit of a ballache getting the seat out and stripping it down but for £140, the seat looks great again.

Plus i've got the motors switches heaters etc which I might sell on to get most of the outlay back
