  1. Well you will buy these crap tyres...
  2. Absolutely, otherwise that dealer will do the same to the next customer and so on

    Certainly works I think even in a red car...loving modding this car, so much you can do for little cost and easy to do too!
  4. What wax did you put over the top?

    Everything converted to blue ... except the green clock which apparently is a pain to swap colours on. Maybe a blue bit of tape across it might be a quick and cheap solution! Dash cam installed, note screen is not visible from drivers seat I had the doors open etc hence all the red lights on the dash which would go out if the car was running. Very pleased actually, amazing how simple it is on the older cars to just pull things out and change stuff over
  6. But will you tell us if you did...?!
  7. Turbo lag + 4WD for the win
  8. Shocked...played a good good guy in Galaxy Quest and the voice of the robot in Hitchhikers Guide...talented guy. Incredible private life as well, started dating his high school sweetheart aged 19, got married to her last year with no one else present. 50 years together.

  10. There is a post on here by ZMANALEX which shows the torque of the bolts to put the plenum back on at as well as the order in which to put them back in. Im average at best with spanners and I managed to put it in no problems on my own.

  12. 3 speed...fantastic! Does it have overdrive? Good to hear you got a decent payout.
  13. Chris Knott for me - whoever you use make sure you quote the forum and get any discount.
  14. Like black, they need a lot of work to keep them looking good. There was a red import around here for several years and the paint looked really dull, reminded me of a 10 year old car that you'd see in Arizona. Having said that I've seen a few good ones. Rosso Red is a much more vibrant red but these are very rare. Pete When looked after red is stunning, as you say with black needs looking after though...loved my red VX and love the red Celica. A very good wax is worth investing in.
  15. Its a subjective article - hated mods as voted by whom? Or hated mods as decided by one fella who needed to fill some column inches using possibly a straw poll in the office to back up his argument...probably that. You can either agree or disagree but it doesn't mean the list is factually correct That said, this legendary you tube video...
  16. They definitely hire out the ramp (Grundy on here used it last year) not sure about the tools, they might do if you ask.
  17. Can recommend south coast workshop - they fitted my new springs to the Celica (which is what they specialise in) but Barry who works there is a super competent mechanic and was in the middle of building a monster GT4 as well as doing an RB25 engine swap into an S15 when I was there so really knows his way around Japanese cars. Prices generally are pretty reasonable as well.
  18. ...and you are working against a timer Bradders! 4 months 8 days to go!

    Cheers. Next job is to get the wiper arms off, work back some of the rust/bubbling that is appearing, spray and seal before putting back on.
  20. Shocked. Just shocked, didn't see that one coming.
  21. Nice one, have a soft spot for the 944, although bit of a panel alignment issue on the drivers door, or is it just not clicked shut!

    Gets used once a week, maybe less. I am lucky that the Mrs knows I get grumpy if I don't get to play with the car each weekend so have time to work on it...I also do not have to contend with snow! Next job is to sort the wiper arms which are starting to bubble thanks to a little bit of rust appearing...
  23. Its been live for years, I have been using it for my last three purchases. It was updated back in July.
  24. There is a .gov site which shows the last 6 years recorded MOT mileage, should always be a first port of call before buying a car.
