Also have to say i admire your patience, i got so fed up of accumulating parts (although fun buying), waiting for bits to be made, fitted or otherwise with Rx7's i vowed never to do it again unless i had everything i needed and then give it to someone and say, fit that, i will be back in a month or 2!

Pre or post turbo, i was just about to get a pre turbo mechanical set up before my rotary decided it had had enough

You KNOW, or you read it online? I think the only people who KNOW are Clarkson and his lawyer... Very accurate: Cant believe everything we read in the press right

The comparison has also been made by a certain member in this thread Darn right. I reckon they were separated at birth.... More wrinkles than a 200 year old tortoise, bad clothes, faces that could turn milk sour, comedy hair.... I much preferred your unedited version below: "Darn right. - hit peak popularity when wrinkly as a tortoise and despite being beaten with the ugly stick - inexplicably popular despite absence of talent - comedy hair - wormed their way in with the political elite of the day - featured in terrible TV programmes..... The list is potentially endless....." Far more opinionated, lovely though to be able to freely voice your thoughts without fear of a witch hunt for your scalp

The comparison has also been made by a certain member in this thread Interesting that no one feels the need for the bbc to accept any responsibility, after all, they aired the alledged slope comment and Falklands incident, if they really thought either were so bad, pull them from the schedule

Lots of good advise above: They really dont like being started and stopped, driven short distances repeatedly. Keep a regular check on oil, they run best on mineral oil (no synthetic) so at least its cheap. Try to take it the redline each time your out, clears out the carbon build up and deposits. Coil packs known to fail and often these cause starting issues. Rebuild will cost 2k for a decent job.

Just in case anyone is interested, copied and pasted from one of the rotary forums: Hi everyone, I've got a set of TE37s in 18x9.5 ET12 fitment for sale. I bought them for my R32 GTR which i no longer have and these wont fit under stock arches so are no longer needed. Ideal for ones running wide kit. They are in good condition but would benefit a refurb... normal kerb rashings on the lips but one of the lips has a small dent (holds pressure tho) but apart from that there is no major cracks/damage etc. One Rays and one Volk sticker is flaked slightly, rest are fine. Aesthetically the blue Rays valves have faded. Because these could benefit from a refurb, i am selling these cheaper than what they can be worth if anyone wishes to do it themselves. The tyres will need replaced as they are about 1mm max. Im working 6 out of 7 nightshifts a week so dont have time post these atm collection for now. Price for them is £1200 collected and i will be throwing in a set of Volk Racing wheel nuts (in used but good condition). I am located in Glasgow, Scotland. Here is my number if you wish to contact me via text (or call if im not sleeping) 07702250903.

I have to be honest, i dont think this has anything to do with Isis any more, how can these attacks and others possibly have anything to do with a higher destiny or jihadist missions against the decadence of western infidels and governments. They are just random killings by complete mentalists plain and simple!
-
Still cringe when I think of what that guy did! You've got a top quality car now though! Didnt need THAT much... only a clutch a flywheel, new brakes all round, 4 new tyres and full service :cry: Did you not notice tyres, brakes and that a service was required?
-
They may well be Horners own words in that report, but cant remember him complaining at the time they were so dominant and you didnt have Merc etc throwing all their toys out the pram and threatening to leave (from memory), seem to remember Ferrari made threats though. The last year of Redbull i would say they were just as dominant as the Mercs, except it wasnt so apparent as Webber didnt feature as well as Nico.
-
“The problem is the gap is so big. You end up with three-tier racing and I think that’s not healthy for Formula 1,†Horner said Absolutely fine and dandy when you were doing the same though!

Some slip on 3 or 5mm spacers will be fine if you just want some peace of mind
-
A big number from Autotrader, where i saw mine advertised with a dealer. However, i was looking everywhere, Autotrader, Exchange & Mart. PH, Forum, Ebay, Gumtree. If your looking for whatever vehicle these days, does everyone not do the same, just search all of em?
-
Lewis is gangsta innit Huge diamond earings, gold chains, very stereotypical of a succesful black guy (no racism intended or meant) Sure is a good driver though.
-
Where is said trackday, may pop along
-
Cant think for the life of me if am right but sure I remember reading about a new in tank pump the other day, may have been Bosch. Used to run a 044 in tank and was very happy with it, it was only the serious track boys who ran swirl pots. Any thoughts on water injection or water/meth, keep intake temps down?
-
That had to hurt, wallet too In the spa track day i thread i mentioned last time out at Combe had a similar incident. I was braking for camp, started to turn in and a race Mustang appeared up the inside, hit the breaks a little which totally unsettled the car, it was a gut reaction i know not to break when turning, so had nothing i could do but run way out onto the grass with the car all a bit squirrelly My arse was twitching like a rabbits nose! He did get thrown off though
-
Also this is quite infamous
-
I think its a proper scary circuit, still havent mastered avon rise/quarry and although tower corner is straight forward, you are carrying a lot of speed and the crash barriers straight ahead look very very close (actually they are, lol) , so always a little cautious there as cant quite disengage the brain enough to brake at the last minute. Think Bruno Senna put a std GTR round there in 1.14.5

No contradiction I have always said, violence should not be tolerated, have you got that yet? I am trying to deal in what little facts we have, you just want to talk hypothetical situations to justify yourself. In no way, shape or form with what happened with JS have absolutely anything to do with this. The world was a very very different place back then, not condoning it, just fact. No need for an investigation, sit the producer and JC down and ask what happened. So so so simple, all finished and done with. If they admit punches were thrown, perhaps then you would need to call on others if you need to make a judgement, or just sack him.

How you are allowed to get away with making up these stories is completely beyond me. In some respects, I admire your sheer nerve but if 50% of your posts had a grain of truth to them you'd have lived the most eventful life of any human being on the planet! Lying or not, If you believe life is sorted out in disciplinary hearings you have lived a very sheltered life, the stories i could tell you about work incidents would have you shaking in a corner. Always got sorted and no one got fired, got to be a bonus surely Interesting that you took such exception to my thicko remark but you dont think it might be offensive to imply that you could reduce someone you don't know to shaking in a corner with one of your 'stories'. If I end up shaking in a corner it would be with laughter at the fact that you've just tried to turn this entire thread into a competition about who the most manly man is. Just as it was wrong of me to characterise everyone who likes JC as thick, it's just too simplistic and naive to imply that anyone ŵho understands that not everything at work can be sorted out in a blokey way is a wimp. What does the inexperienced 18 year old girl whose just started work in an office and finds that she's being bullied and sexually harassed by her older more experienced male manager do? Offer him a fight around the back of the building? Get her Dad down to beat him up? Shut up and put up with it because if she complains and someone investigates, she's just a PC moaner right? I took zero offence to your thicko comment, If thats what you think and want to say, fill your boots. As you well know, I took offence to fact you seem to think Its ok for you to express your view but not JC because of your dislike for him and whenever there is bad press you jump on the witch hunt. You even seem to think Its ok to call WW a liar, i am presuming you dont know him or anything about him, but its fine for you to question his integrity? Not very pc of you, sounds like an assumption JC would make and say. Please can you stop with your hypothetical siutations to justify your opinion, there Is a time and a place for both our views imho, but in this case, believing the latest "stories" of the event. A man shouted and swore at a fellow employee...... Big deal, pop your handbags down and get back to work. Just so you sure though, If and its a big if at the moment, punches were thrown, an investigation is necessary, but only because of the media attention, dont see either sporting any bruises which you can be damn sure there would if the press could get a photo as "evidence". P.s I cant believe you have tried to make this thread all about, who Is the most intelligent because of ones behaviour and attitude to the events.

I pretty much disagree with everything you say but thats just a matter of opinion, neither of us is right or wrong! Who would rather work for, neither, hence why i work by myself and sub contract, so i dont have to put up with pc nonsense, imho of course

I for one would prefer to retain the person who made my company the most money This is the argument in a nutshell. Are there more important issues in corporate life than the pursuit of profit? I for one would prefer to retain the person who made my company the most money This is the argument in a nutshell. Are there more important issues in corporate life than the pursuit of profit? Maybe the company I currently work for is an exception then - they take the longer term view that investment in peoples wellbeing is paramount and yes you might lose a few £ in the short term getting rid of bad eggs if they make good money but theres always someone else equally capable but doesnt disrupt the workforce. The company I work for makes a lot of money globally, maybe that gives them the opportunity to get rid of bad eggs and bullies but its not like they have only just started doing this its been the culture from the start. Longer term, leaving bullies and bad eggs in your business is bad business no matter how important or good at making money they think they are. No one sets up a company (unless a charity) to just get by and invest in peoples wellbeing, its all about the £. Companies are there to make money. I employ people who can do the job they are there to do, if their job is too make my company money, i want the one who can make me the most and no, there wont be a replacement, loose TG as it is, like or not and you will end up with some guff like 5th gear which is demoted to discovery
