  1. Lets open a new can of worms. It's not road tax, it's "vehicle excise duty" road tax finished in the 1930's.
  2. Very difficult Genuinely, it sounds simple, but it's really not.
  3. Do goats not like horse poo then?!
  4. I love the way so many people on here don't understand how business works, I genuinely wonder how some people manage to get through life. Everyone needs to make money, so that they, and their business can SURVIVE! Lets take Stevo's figures, and wind down on them a bit more. £402 - VAT @20% = £335 £335 - uprev license needed per every ECU to crack it of £200 = £135 £135 - estimate on a basis of 2 hours in the work shop (mine was about 3 and a half) works out at about £67 per hour. £67 per hour, needs to cover the wage of the operator, for ease lets say he's on £17 per hour (£33,150 a year) So we're left with £50 an hour, this needs to cover: The electric bill, the dyno cost and maintenance, license fee's for the dyno software, building rent, the company insurance, council business rates, wage for the business owner, you're probably going to want a hot drink whilst you wait and obviously that isn't a gift from the fairies either. They've also got costs to cover which aren't related to your work, as whilst they're working on your car they can't work on someone else's, cost of ramps, tracking/alignment systems, scrap removal, tools, training, advertising, billing, phone bill so you can contact them, explaining all this crap to people... Buy an ebay map with no license fee, please! Genuinely, please! I need some parts for my car, and people selling them off cheaply when their engine blows is a great one as the bodyparts are generally fine.
  5. Hi there.......why is your car limited to 112 ? Sorry to ask or have I missed something. Also is the DE engine maxed out at 155 or limited to 155 ? Anyone's thoughts please Cheers Jdm import In Japan it's illegal for a car to go over 112mph. God, didn't you watch Tokyo drift
  6. yea it seems same topic different week a lot recently Cheap cars now, people buy them for not much and want other things done for not much too, unfortunately nothing decent is cheap for these cars
  7. 3M VHB tape, I think this is what I've used for bits in the past: http://www.3mdirect.co.uk/3m-vhb-acrylic-foam-tape-4941p-ultra-conformable-19mm-x-3m-1-roll.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwre6dBRC94d-Gma7g3wcSJACNatZeNgQI1Y58TS7QDpHgpVCsE-8tCTcQ9LD0hGk_dX71QhoCN_fw_wcB
  8. Yep, didn't work and I had to switch it out for an HKB boss, still have the momo sat in the shed
  9. Plan something extra special in the area of Silverstone for the day before, stay in a nice hotel and then she'll let you go... Maybe...
  10. Gutted I missed this! Suprised you don't have to wear lids though!
  11. I don't know if they aren't treated right from the factory or what the issue is, but they seem to really suffer from rust. Mine had rusted through on both ends, yet the rest of the car is pretty much rust free! It's really weird!
  12. Also, (Last question for now I promise ) what the noise limit is?
  13. Easy, I don't have a bonnet catch, but I still have the wire in place, I've just got it cable tied in place to stop it from rattling
  14. Hows the house, and hows the car door?! Your knee will repair itself
  15. Did the flip flops get sold too Will?!
  16. I haven't been running one for a year or so, I've had no adverse affects
  17. What about a holding your breath underwater contest?!
  18. Blah blah blah! The event will probably be cancelled now you've signed up! Day after my bifday so it better not be
  19. I was going to post that on someone's for sale thread 'Could you cut the springs and tell me they are Eibach ' http://www.wikihow.c...ut-Coil-Springs Edit: Also, this mod may result in lots of bad things happening including (but not limited to) injury, death, MOT failure, death, fines, death, bullying, death, crying, death, more expense and a minor case of death.
  20. lol im the same, every time i walk buy a window or door which looks out on the drive I take a peak at my car! Hotel reception staff always look at me like I'm mental when I ask for a room overlooking the car park
