  1. Happy 7 Anniversary izzzzythedog!

  2. dont get why they would drop a 165 lump in there , should have used a 205
  3. Thats the most interesting thing get some pics up and try to find out a hint of a price and then you never know
  4. find your local HI Q ,,,,, there franchise so open to cash in hand . Last tyre i had sorted was a tenner Sure enough after this thread im back fitting bloody rubber to the motorbike . Couldnt get the bead for love or money when blowing back up so gave up and stuffed a tube in there , sorted
  5. TADARRRRRRR me to the rescue , ill get me cape Ok using a machine is easy enough , blast um on and blast them off . however there are `home ` machines around which require leverage rather than air to get the tyre off ) . these do work but you will spend a happy afternoon rolling around on the ground wondering if you could have simply slipped a kid at the tyre place a fiver for a Saturday afternoon special . These machines are good for knobbly beasties when your out playing on your quad but not so great on a pwetty alloy and shouldered low profile tyres . Bunging them back on is another thing , Loads of soap and viola its on , Getting the bead is joyjoy fun fun at home . you need a decent compressor and luck ( pssst , remove the valve completely , allows air in quicker so it can bead ) . Expect to sweat and swear for an hour before just taking the bastard to the tyre place and watching them do it in milliseconds Better bet is an old tyre machine that uses air . Push the bead off both sides , grab it with the machine , soap the rim and stick your bar in , pop off easily and back on great . Need other tools such as the bar , valve remover , brush and soap etc . Also need a 2x3 slab to hold the dam thing down plus a decent compressor , it gets expensive Soooooo tyres off and your at it with the wire brush . So much easier to drop it onto the tyre ballancer and lean a file against it . However you dont have that luxury soooooo once clean and back together you will then suss those little balance weights accually do do something as you now cant see where your going over 45mph due to vibration ,,,, bugger ,back to the tyre place for a balance then at a fiver a tyre . You can do it at home with a frame , it does work but can be trial and error . so would i recommend all this ? if you have room then yep go for it . Give it a year and everyone and his nan will come to you for puncture repairs . If its just to get a bit of rust off then hell no

  11. sure , rip it apart , skim the head , reline the bore and over size it , blue print the rest after a gas flow , phat exhaust and air cleaner , LOUD paint job and viola about 190 brake and a bill for 3 grand
  12. you beauty , a volunteer once the pics are up pop over and waggle your camera phone around it , however i suspect this may not be as easy as it sounds as you may encounter a film crew who will entice you to buy the snotty coloured lashed together beastie
  13. should be interesting http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wrecks-to-Riches-Wheeler-Dealers-Car-SOS-Custom-Toyota-Celica-GT-1998-/301128640903?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item461caa6987
  14. trailer hoist the dam thing as high as possible on its arse end so the fronts pointing to the sky push trailer under and chock the wheels genitally lower onto the trailer strap and your away flat trailer without sides , engine hoist can be used to do the job , make sure the scrappers its going to is happy to lift it off the trailer with forklift/crane , fill car with other shit you really dont want and bring the petrol tank with water ( naughty boy )
