  1. Well done mate. Have u fitted it with screws/rivets? I had the holes filled over on mine, and stuck it down with silkaflex, a car adhesive. Was a scary time though cos the bumper was more curved than the intake duct and i couldnt get it to sit flush - so i had to sit there with all my weight on it for over an hour without moving! I thought my arms were gonna drop off...!!
  2. He was but he got banned Was he one of the ones banned because of the Wales trip? Nope he was banned for selling stuff on here while not having 15 'valuable' posts. Urban4 or something...
  3. He was but he got banned
  4. I did a sprint day in my tiptronic, on a wet track, on illegal RE040's, and i was all over the place. It was a horrible day! Not helped by the fact that it was 1 run every 15mins, so you could never get any heat in your tyres etc...

    JDM or UK Battery

    I took mine to my local independant car store... they didnt have one in stock but ordered it the next day. Much bigger than my JDM one but it fit. The key thing is to get the terminals the right way round. I only paid £47 too, which is cheap for a battery nowadays.
  6. SL Merc would be my ideal... You can get these for £15k now
  7. Next hoon at stews...
  8. Interesting... very 'fritzel-esque' though...

    want that one!

    My cousin had a mint mk2 escort almost identical to the one below... he died when he was 25, in 1994, and the car has remained locked in a garage in Blackpool at his old house (now owned by his Dad) ever since. Very sad, and such a waste of a mint car.
  16. I've just got in from a ride around the reservoirs in buxton. I only did 10 miles but it was probably the hardest ride i've done this year. We finished with a climb up a near 60degree dam, an then climbed over the fence at the top. It was pretty scary/stupid...!! Should hopefully have a pc when my mate emails it to me later...
  17. Very good chance i will pal... Thats the same sort of lines i was thinking of... car is 11 years old but has only 45k on the clock, so its not had much use... hopefully thats it.
  18. Well... i've had my fiesta for 5 weeks now, and today i nearly died!! The road was slightly wet, i was doing 15mph around a very bad bend with around 12ft visibility, when at the worst possible moment a tractor came the opposite way. I stamped on the brake pedal, but didnt slow down - i just skidded for around 10ft (no ABS) and finished literally inches from this tractor. I got it to stop by yanking on the handbrake and stalling it. I've never come so close to such a big accident (albeit at not much speed). So... im assuming tyres are the problem here? Its running on *cough* nexen's... but they've got about 6mm tread on them, although i dont know how old they are. So - what do i do? Looking on camskill's, i can get some Toyo's for £27 each, but then the Nexen's are £28 each, so does this mean the tyres in that price range are all @*!#, or will Toyo's always be better than Nexen's? Im hopefully only keeping the car for another 6-8 weeks, and then i'll be getting a propper car, so resally dont want to be forking out £100 when its only temporary! (maybe another zed - im so tempted!) Any suggestions?
  19. Ahhh. Still looks weird though. Picture 2 looks nothing like propellers...
  20. What are those black things?
  21. Oh yeh - and they kept messing with my tyre sizes too. It wasnt until i told them to cancel the order that they actually offered me the tyres that i wanted.
