Sorry dude, but that's crap. You SHOULD get out and vote, there's enough stuff out there to enable you to make a reasoned decision as to who gets your vote without you moving off the couch (VoteForPolicies, for example). You could've done a postal vote, and that wouldn't have made any difference to your life at all. You could also have done a proxy vote, but it's too late for that now as well. 20 mins of your time to decide who runs the entire country for five years is nothing. I bet you spent more time today with your willy in your hand

A lot of what people think UKIP want to do is led by social media and people just making stuff up for the sake of a bit of popularity. UKIP do not want to stop immigration, they want to move to a skills-based system instead so that we let people in with the skills we need, and stop freeloaders who come for the benefits. If we find we have lots of low paid jobs suddenly cropping up, then the system can be relaxed to take up the slack. I'm with you though on leaving the EU, it simply isn't good business sense and I'd rather we turned around to the EU on some things and told them to stick it than simply quit altogether.

We've all had those moments, I normally get them first thing in the morning

They're meant for use in very dusty conditions, i.e. the Sahara. The more important question is why did you buy one if you thought the filtration might be crap, and assuming you found out afterwards why are you considering fitting it still anyway?

So where do we stand on this then, fellow forumites? Who are you voting for come polling day? Quite honestly, I tend to side with UKIP on most matters so really that's where my tick should go. However, I strongly believe we should stay in the EU, so I won't be voting for them based on that alone as it's their single main policy. There's not really much to choose between Con or Lab if I'm honest, if you look at their policies. Dave has become less and less impressive as the weeks have gone on, but Ed is a cretin who makes my skin crawl when he speaks. I don't trust Lab to have "fully costed spending plans", but neither do I think Cons should enshrine in law that they won't raise taxes: What if there's a genuine need to? Ultimately, it has come down to this for me: Do I want more of the same that we've had over the last five years, or do I want a change? Frankly, another five years of the same would suit me just fine. They've done a pretty good job with the economy given the mess that was left, and I agree that cuts to pay off debt quickly is better than borrowing more to plough into the welfare state and public services. I'm hoping we'll get a Con/LD coalition again, but that's looking very unlikely with the rise of the SNP north of the border. Clegg is a reasonable guy who I'm happy with as Deputy PM, whereas the thought of someone who does not even want to be part of the UK holding that post sickens me. In short, it's Conservative for me this time.

Jeeeeeeesus how do you get stuck UNDER that?!

Well, at least he's done it properly. How? And how on earth did the rear strut brace manage to snap off and up at that angle?!

Epic thread is epic. B&Q foam as a filter?! Brilliant! Next up: Can you use olive oil instead of 5w-30? And can you use Wickes mastic to hold the sump on?

Just click Edit, then click Use Full Editor. It's right next to Save Changes.

You do get that option on the iPad, as I use it myself.

Ditch the precats if you haven't already, and don't believe anyone who tells you that you don't need to on FL cars: I wrote the book* on that subject, and you'll see my Sticky on both the OC and ROC (and some other places who have pinched it, too!). Tyre sizes & pressures are pretty critical on the MR2, more so than anything else other than an Elise, so check they're right. If you do no other mods at all, get yourself a front strut brace as it absolutely transforms the handling. *Well, not a book, more a page on an internet forum. Close enough though!

I get how he was trying to be funny, and that the post was aimed 100% at electric car owners, but it was a little too OTT for my humour taste. Well written, though.

Factually incorrect, you have one Awww, you meanie

Everything he mentions about feeling every little explosion, and having to change gears? That's exactly WHY I never want an electric fun car. Never mind that petrol smells awesome...

All the cool kids have MR2s

http://jalopnik.com/witness-the-horror-of-an-amateur-trackday-1700661538 I'm just going to leave that right there...

Actually, what is the budget?

Or if you just want it to look fancier than every one else's, buy a huge body kit, wing and wheels.

I did the driver training, wheels, tyres, brakes, suspension, bracing and weightloss before I put the turbo onto it

Drop the s from the https Power is nothing without control. Zero point adding bags of power if you can't use what you've already got, IMHO. You could throw £5K at the car to SC it or turbo it or whatever, and then after you're done sell it for half that. Alternatively, you could spend £2.5K on driver training and be quicker, smoother and safer not only with this car, but with every car you'll ever own. Skill for life, yo. You could do half on the training and then half on some suspension bits & tyres, and then be seriously quick.

Heated senors?

Got mine too

Spend it on driver training and track days. Waaaaaaaay more fun than just adding a lump of extra power or some pretty bits.
