  1. Sold it and bought it back with about a million cars in between
  2. I know the date on the paper is out of date, Im just lazy and didnt get round to posting it yet :P Perfect upgrade for JDM cars £35 delivered
  3. Go to your profile & theres a little icon on your current profile picture. Click on that and then choose an option for a picture. They can only be a certain size though I'm amazed you posted something that wasn't
  4. I’ve got the entire silver cover if your interested
  5. Update incoming. Still waiting on the garage to be finished so I can get my ramp installed I have though, made a start on the project. Bought an ARC oil catch can, Those of you that have been here long enough will know how much I love ARC products and rare JDMparts in particular Started stripping down the front end of the car pipework removed ready for stripping back and refinishing - still deciding between wrinkle black or CF skinned. Disgusting interior (after much cleaning, I need a Bio hazard suit to do the rest) think I removed enough McDonald's fries for a happy meal of course, whilst stripping the car down, I checked under the radiator cap AND......... So I checked under the oil cap AND...... I still need to test it, but I am 99% certain the head gasket has gone. There is still that small hope that the residue left under the caps is from the last time it happened to this car I'at a bit of a crossroads with it now. Anyone who's read the previous owner of this cars build thread will see the huge amount of problems they had with the engine. So, do I 1) Cut my losses with the engine, Sell it as it is and fit the TT kit to my low mileage stock engine and lower my HP goals? 2) Hope that it is just the head gasket that's gone, replace it and hope for the best? 3) Replace the gasket, use the head off my low mileage engine & stick some cams in there while I'm at it? Sensible, grown up, responsible me thinks option 1........................ Out of interest, how much would a forged engine with a blown HG be worth?

    WV2 bonnet

    I’ve got one but it’s got some corrosion so would need repair and paint
  7. Z in its new home waiting for its heart transplant
  8. I think you may have mental issues, you might wanna get help. You are borderline obsessive over the car Where have I said I hated the car? Granted I’m not happy that you lied about multiple things but that’s my fault for trusting you and not coming to look at it first. Dont even bother texting me again offering to buy it back again, it’s in pieces and the remainder will be crushed soon
  9. Koyo would be the only radiator I buy
  10. A 5K 335D with 100BHP over standard? What could possibly go wrong

    Head Gasket?

    Not sure tbh. I haven’t used it since it got delivered to me about a month or so ago.
  15. Just checking my car over before starting the engine swap & noticed this when taking the rad and oil caps off. I'm thinking probable head gasket failure? thoughts?
  16. if you dont want another money pit stay away from the Skyline. If your staying Jap the Supra is better value but dont forget they are 20odd years old now and due to the increase in prices of these cars, the increase in spare parts are rocketing also. Compared to what I broke my Supra for, prices now are insane. German cars are good fun, I've got an A5 as a daily and its great, Just wish I could have afforded to run an S/RS5 as a daily
