when i put the new ones on i'll have my old ones going spare. so i could do another set for others if they wanted, and then run it on an exchange basis.

i so need to get a proper trolley jack, i use my boot jack for too much

are bently and british aerospace running again this year. the money you lot spend dwarfs the school budgets still it made it all the more better when we used to beat some of them hope you place well this year

buggery is the new punishment for non conformity ? ......... ........... ........... i hope not as thats quite a worry pospect. Police officer: Do you know why i've pulled you over Driver: Nope i thought its cos you like me Police officer: sorry sir its not that; your were doing 53 in a 50 limit. Driver: oh dear i hadn't realised Police officer: you'll need to step out of the car drop your kecks and put your hands on the bonnet. as your about to get shafted by the police.

i've had 450 out of the tank and the MPG gauge was showing another 50 miles left in the tank. not impossible to achieve, just requires lots of roads with average speed cameras on most of the journey

i didn't want it looking like a rainbow on the front. the simplicity of the white on black makes them stand out better. too much colour would detract form the Di-noc underneath just my opinion though

lack of respect in society these days, my guess is a couple of drunks on the way home thinking its funny. so sorry to see this hope it gets sorted, and they find the twunts and make them pay.

love TVR's don't mind oggling them at a meet. rather them than a load of chaved up corsa's and fiesta's i like a mix of things at a car meet and the more exotic the better.

Finally got these all sorted tired a little experiment with it myself but struggled with the complex curves and just didn't get the professional finish i was looking for so i've called in some professional help. These are the finished article. first the wing mirrors: nothing new here as several others have already done this but it was something i needed to tie my car togehter now i have the black wheels. sorry for the indoor pics, the car is in my garage and its blocked in by the wife. will get proper pics of the car in its entirety as soon as it gets a proper clean and i finish off the last couple of exterior touches. I have seriously contemplated real carbon covers, but i've always been worried about the fact that they don't wrap round the front of the mirror, so on a silver car you end up with a very noticeable lip around the mirror. these don't go all the way in, but its a marked improvement i think. the second thing is with the real carbon ones by big concern is some little scoat nicking them as they are just stuck on the outside. they might not get them off fully, but they'll probably ruin them in the attempt. The door handles: i think this is one of my favourite mods so far for the outside. and they look amazing in the flesh. the wrap goes round all the corners and gives a real complete look. i tried the real carbon covers on a mates car and the y do look good, but one of the issues that niggled me was that when you opened the door you could feel the lip of the cover. and i'd be worried over time that i'd end up pinging the handle cover off. and like the wing mirror covers my fear of losing them or having them nicked would bug me especially at the cost they are to buy. i'm hoping this will give a really sturdy finish. i've used painted parts before and one of the issues i've found is that over time the paint chips and on black handles will look very obvious. same as whats happened with the original silver handles and hence why i've refurbed them.

ok heres the final install pictures, finally got round to doing the last little bits to it. not to everyones taste but its what i was looking for, and i still have space for more tags

you work at a tyre and exhaust place. very modest of you

http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/8108493 ... ash_cloud/ closest i could get

http://www.prettypawsyork.co.uk/ there you go nixy

mine got changed at 22k but that was taking them right down to the limit, now on 27 with the vreds and they are wearing well. but then i don't push it all the time. my drive to work is only 4 miles

most of the people needing help and where things are tend to be noobs anyway, and mainly its the longer term members with the silly titles, and most of them know the zed world alot better. the people with the silly locations don't bother me, but then i know most of them or already know where they live. (roughly) you won't catch me doing something stupid like that, i'm far to mature for that kind of behaviour

price isn't to bad especially as its only plastic got a nice OEM look to it.

good fun this, entered a few cars of the years, its a good laugh. if budgets weren't so tight i might try and re enter next year. good luck buddy.

usdm fronts are 12" by 6" i think the rear is the same check the craigs plate website as you can set it as an option

nope i have a JVC EXAD KW-AVX810 turning up. the reversing camera already arrived today, as did all the sexton parts (i think) hopefully pick the lot up tomorrow afternoon afterwork

mine arrives tomorrow, am hoping to get started on saturday

Ian, lexx, wookie and cookbot are all going FI some already have like zmanalex, nurrish, and i think martin, all using a mix of either SC or turbo. also with a mix of kits. read their build threads or proposed build threads. SC is i think the cheaper option but turbos will get the bigger power gains. good luck with your build and keep us posted as you go.

sounds like geometry is out, if i remember rightly there was a recall for early cars to sort out a geometry issu that led to uneven tyre wear, yours if its an early one might not have been done. or it might just have changed over time and need tweeking

depends on whos servicing it, if you tell them to use your oil they should use it instead of the standard stuff. as for the revup it will be fine, they don't touch the ECU. as for plugs they are due a change at 54,000 miles or 5 years(i think) which ever comes first

martin let me check my calendar, and i'll see if i can make it,but i have a feeling i'm out on expedition that weekend

where were they taken?
