  3. Happy 3 Anniversary Alex991!

  4. But would you pay 8k? Can pick one up for around 4k, and with the spare 4k you could get a top paint job if it really needed it, with plenty of change, and even if it was on high miles the engines are pretty much bulletproof so no worries there.
  5. I still prefer the thunder grey over any colour, so subtle but so sleek with the lines at the glitter in the sun...
  6. Looks good to me. Different tastes or it would be a boring world. A lot of work goes into getting a car sitting that pretty, one of best looking gen 7 imo. Oh and that is not a lot of camber.
  7. Generally those cars are terrible. Don't care what Jaguar says, those x types are just glorified mondeos except they still feel like cheap tat, drive them all the time unfortunately have to fix them too. Normally have to replace all the auxcillary idlers and tensioner on the diesels which is a pig of a job on those, more room on the mondeo..
  8. I normally give mine a good hose down in and behind the rear arches when I wash the car so hopefully that gets the crap out.. Key is catching it early and then preventing it. I mot'd a jaguar x type which had skirts fitted, luckily there is about a 1-2inch gap between the sill and the skirt and I found a hole. Failed the car, got go ahead on repair explaining it could be worse once side skirt was removed, removed it and underneath was rotten. Need the whole sill re-building.
  9. I get looks all the time, especially when my dished wheels are on in the summer. I have a decat exhaust as well which on the overrun if you tap the throttle can bang out the back something nasty, scares me sometimes when I get a real gooden, but I am childish..
  10. Happy Birthday Alex991!

  11. If you are still unsure and have no idea what to do, take it to a mechanic or someone that does, don't mean to be rude but brakes are not something you should mess with if you are not sure. If the springs clips holding the shoes have become weak or snapped, they can cause the shoes to catch the disc etc, mine did so I replaced the fitting kit.
  12. Agreed. I had a 2001 astra before my celica and the only feature I really miss was the auto windows still went up after taking the key out and I didn't have to wait lol. Volkswagen are the worst for fixing the useless crap. I work in a garage and I call BS on volkswagen (German quality). 90% of what I fix is VW/Audi/BMW. Does my head in as well because most of their design is utter rubbish.
  13. Happy 2 Anniversary nikkas!
