  1. bad boy blah blah , giving it death on the public roads blah blah slapped legs blah blah what have i taken on and beat wellll nothing really , my old beams had a scooby fair and square but other than that i dont get many players , its eaten a few pugs and such like but most of the time i tend to travel a bit to fast for most to catch up in the first place , from 80 onwards the cs tends to eat alive anything around , i guess its the look of the thing being an older lady that most dont try it on
  2. rub down , fill area , rub down again , fill again , rub down , fill again if needed spray with high build primer , rub back spray with normal primer , rub back now its at this point it cuts 2 ways , a pro hits the car with a base coat then laquars , using a spray can it may or may not be the same depending on the paint you get , so if you need to laquar then so be it and you dont ever laquar to a line but insted laquar to an area thats easy to then cut back and polish in so its not noticeable , simply put you spray a larger area than is needed then hit it will a bit of wet and dry then t-cut then polish and wax to finish , this creates perfect paint and no join visable , only issue is old paint fades to the end finish although cant be great may not blend perfectly due to shade differences , thats life im afraid
  3. the 4 5 and 6 is different , the 4 has 3 barbs to the fitting so the light fitting wont go into the hole as a 5 and 6 has 4 barbs , the 5 and the 6 are different sizes completely , the 6 is smaller than the 5 so arnt interchangeable , you can if you have 5 minutes and a stanley get a 4 to fit a 5 if your happy to alter the holes , this is what i did after i couldnt find them for a 5
  4. lets face it , hes gunna buy a nissan 350 or 370 as for the s15 debate , my 2 pence worth is the 7 looks like a lambo inspired copy , it looks modern/is modern , just a shame it never got an engine worthy of the looks , if every a car needed a shoutty engine its a 7 the s13/14/15 , there just to me jdm , its a certain look about it , and its fair to say its whats gone before , perhaps classic is the word , low long and sleek are nice words to use but being honest even wanky little renaults have monster wheels and angular lines which dates them as modern and this simply isnt there on older jdm cars , you only have to look at the round lights on the arse end of a skyline , your never going to see that on a modern car
  5. its normal the fuel expands on a hot day , the volume needs to escape , it comes out a a vapour that you can smell do check under the car a few times just to make sure but 9/10 its just the temp today
  6. but does the car give you the cold shoulder when you forget ? perhaps your coffee comes with a frothy extra topping when its her birthday and you havnt a clue , got to love your car , it gives you shit for a good reason and not becuase its the time of the month ( its her time of the month , its my fault , not sure what is my fault but rest assured im to blame )
  7. i would have thought these are for water or liquids ? normally as you guys know its nylon renforced , im hoping this is both nylon and wire to create more flexability , i have an angle issue on mine
  8. ohhhhhhhhh me likey a lot , do you have a link ?
  9. postage 8 quid with parcel2go to send them get a length of wood , tape to this then wrap in bubble wrap , black bag , tape a name to it and viola
  10. cl600 bi turbo remapped from 500 to 648 brake
  11. figure how would you check ? they have internet acess so can evaluate anything they like within seconds regardless of what it is , if they suspect something based on common sense and proberbilitys then they crack the parcel open , have a good looksee and then decide between themseleves what they think an items worth , understanding there is an appeal process which relys on proof of payment and loads of pissing about , also understanding theres fookers are like mini-gods who can do what they please , also also understanding they are professional people who have seen this all before then simply put there not stupid as an example a doll , someone sends a doll from the us, the items inside have to be listed namely a doll and also a value of lets say $20 , now postage from the us to the uk is going to be $50 so is it a worthwhile venture to source this doll from the us as the postage is 2.5 times the price of the item ,,, now does this sound suspicious already ? so ok its a rare item then to justify searching the globe for a doll but then if its that rare is it likely to be just $20 seeing how there are loads and loads of collecters out there ? likely ? suspicious ? oh and fook me if it isnt from a dealer also as the names listed on the item , must be a very cheap dealer then or someones aiming to get under the radar by listing 20 bucks ,,, lets crack this open and whatwouldyouknow its worth 4 grand , ok confiscate as evidence , issue a summons , check the bastards bank and employment details to see if hes living beyond his means , inform the tax man and inland revenue ok listed is the worst possible , sadly it does happen from time to time , if an item is undervalued then its most likely they will fine you plus charge you for vat and tax on the item and the value they decide , if your not far off then they may just ignore this and just aim for getting the duty paid , now if it were me and i was buying an item with a value of say £300 id be very tempted to list it as sday £219 , its enough value that customs will enjoy shagging you up the arse and high enough value that they would concider the item to be within its realistic value range oh blah blah blah , fraud dont do it blah blah blah :rolleyes:
  12. theres a word for this , its called fraud if you get away with it then fantastic . jobs a good un , however if customs decideds the items declared value is deceptive to elude tax then then can happly fine you thousands you takes your chances , cant recommend it but people get away with it every day
  13. B.E.A.M.S fella , cant remember what it stands for now , its a 3s-ge engine but with the top end removed and a vvt-i top end dropped on in its place , , it means you get 20 odd bhp more than the standard engine and its got a step-up in power like a v-tec at about 5500 revs , goes well , the beams was an option that not many people took and its avaiable from 1997-1999 , it was never an option for uk cars and hence its only imports and very high spec ones at that which have this engine , at a guess id say theres maybe 10-15 cars in the country with this engine , its very rare , took me ages to find i so as you can guess im not keen to sell it out again so quickly edit BEAMS = Breakthrough Engine with Advanced Mechanism System
  14. what adam ? only kidding , izzy is the name of our dog and so izzzzythedog it is , i tried a few names as you do and nothing wasnt taken so started to look around the room , the big eared little monster was at the time resting on my foot so i typed izzythedog , sadly i managed to press the z a couple of extra times and now im stuck with it :-)

  15. dribbling here a bit a car is a reflection of the owner , like it or not we cant help but buy something that is a product of our personnalitys , now folks its time to concider your inner self ,,,,,, so yeah , take if you will a skoda , ugly as fook and a cheap vw , everyone knows the vw and the skoda are the same car , given a choise you want the vw , if you dont its because your a tight bastard who thinks your saving a few quid , most likely to buy a diesel skoda and chances are your 50+ , you will also bore to tears anyone who comes within 15 foot and mentions cars saying how feckin good the car is and its the same as a vw etc etc , its not , your near dead , you have no personnality worth looking for cus it sure isnt displayed as being a party animal , false economics and a shitty choise that you intend to try to perpetuate by seeking likeminded individuals , you fooked up , your a idiot , i dont give a shit it can do 50 mpg , fuel isnt everything and if it were why didnt you buy a lupo ? sooooooooooo the point being , 10 year old mondaos are driven by 50+ blokes , pug 106`s are driven by young girlies , festas are driven by young kids who dont have a pot to piss in , 8 years old corsas are driven by 60 yr old blokes to get to work and back , subarus are driven by 30 yr old blokes who really want a lambo , hondas shuttle grandman and pa around happly enough untill its 15 years old then brought by mr timmy thrashumtodeath , the list goes on , and the point in this tyrade of dribble ? the cabs is a reflcetion of myself , its funky looking , not too flashy that you notice it but has a hidden atribute thats a bit of a shock to the system , this is me all over , it suits me , its comfotably me , its got to stay , its got to be sorted , its allowed to become ``adams car`` , it will be an older oddity car with an evil streak running through it
  16. screams for a photoshop to change it to a dick either way its just a little wrong , id have the engine out of it
  17. his sig says its a 140 he could buy a gen 5 with tthat but im not sure he would cope with the power hahahahahahaha unhelpfull post of the day i dunno fella , 500 isnt much , save some more and buy a 190 ????? sell the 140 and buy a st205 and use it for fuel ???
  18. jezzz feel for you honey , you dont deserve this shit clifford get 1 with proximity , the mrs has it on hers , if someone goes upto the car it bleeps to say piss off , if a car skims it to close it bleeps once more , generally if you get within a foot the car lets you know its alarmed and is serious , not long ago some hoodys were having a look inside the car at 3 in the morning , not known if they intended to steal the car or the stereo , a 120db bleep put them off rather alot , also knowing shaddy bastards when i said ive a clifford fitted i was told well at least no-ones gunna have it away as its not worth the trouble with a clifford ive also got a toad on the cabs and the cs , the cs doesnt work well at all and can go off at any point when its bored so thats between 4-6 in the morning , no fun , the other 2 both have cliffords and not a moments problem with them
  19. ive now approtched 2 different places to get it sorted , they are both on standby while i get my shit together , i now require a decent battery and a tow company with a low loader , im sniffing around a battery in cannock but may just pop over to nuneaton and get a red top , ive also been getting quotes to get the car to the fools ,,,, the heros who reacon they can sort it , its in the pipeline and if it all goes to plan the garden will be empty of celica for a couple of weeks , when it returns it will be moted and used for sure , a few shake down longish runs plus the usual local abuse , then i intend to get the cs bumper on it and sprayed in time for rising sun ,,, no-one will be able to miss me , ill be the one waving from the back of the rac truck oh the vert , the cs doesnt stand a chance between the 2 , its much more torquey and genenerally furious to drive , it breaks better , steers quicker and is basically really hard to drive ,,, its brilliant , right up my street
  20. thats the truth brother , as soon as i sold the black beams ive been kicking myself since , i guess when i flog a car it has to go for a reason , its got issues i cant be arsed with or ive brought something i fancied insted , i dont like selling a car i accually like , im enjoying wheel spinning the beams round at the minute , i need to replace the wheels so cant help myself , and the cs , every dam time i turn the key she fires into life and that little bit in the brain ,,, the bit with crazy bastard stamped in big red letters goes hellllloooooooo ,,, funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn , even the driving position says hold on figgin tight
  21. in case people dont know the convertable , not for sale , getting sorted now , honest and the Carlos sainz it wouldnt be fair to show the beams as ive not even washed it yet and some of the items ive brought to make it that little bit special arnt here just yet , on the way but close to answer a couple of things insurance , makes no odds to me how many i own for insurance ive a buisness policy ( tradex )so all the cars are insured , i wouldnt have it any other way id love to bang the cs into storage for 5 years , i know its to be a 10-15 grand car then , id prefer to see it used and enjoyed mind the beams is a 3s-ge engine except it isnt , the top ends got a vvt-i system which gives it another 22 bhp , also it has the toys such as lsd and all the very last of the good stuff , it also comes with items unique to the beams such as red sticking on the steering wheel/gear knob , little touches that make it as good as it got but without the turbo issues people have very valid points , im all ears i really am , the cs hasnt been run this week where the beams has at least 4 times , this was mainly because the mrs hadnt been in it , the engine was still warm from where id been out with the mrs and i didnt want to loose the parking space , i intend to take it out tomorrow though and its the car of choise tomorrow , hell im confused
  22. i wonder if its off that white beastis from a couple of years ago its a bargain ,,,,,,, :rolleyes:
