aye, I bet snowtyres on the RAV makes it a beast! I tend not to take the car out really if the snow's too bad. I remember last year seeing lots of cars struggling to get up a relatively shallow hill... Can't be anywhere near as bad as the 'weather' you get oop in bonny Scotland

no and no. good to know. don't have the spare cash to spend on winter tyres though will just have to drive slowly and hope for the best. because obviously if you're sensible enough to splash out to buy winter tyres to keep yourself safe, then you'll want your car to be able to handle like it's on rails while speeding around like a nutter on icy roads.

sorry to hear that

could you not have just bought a replacement door?

well, they make them that big, so it'd be silly not to.... good stuff! they are very efficient with their heat output. I predict your purchasing of marshmallows will increase now too!

ace. my ex's parents had a woodburner in their front room... that thing pumped out heat, it was amazing! It loos a bit small in that fireplace though. Shoulda bought a bigger one

not car related... but my new chain and sprockets arrived for the pocket rocket

using a high quality wrap is no doubt the best advice I can give you. i've not done it myself, but from reading lots of horror stories, it's better to spend a little extra to get the proper Hexis wrap, compared to being tight and buying something cheap and cheerful from a random eBay seller.

ah, they looked a bit long, but I guess scale was out

front lip?

clean em and make a mould?

eek... that can't have been a good feeling!!!

shiny!

i know I really have no idea why I threw away the functioning bulb. I'm normally a bit of a hoarder for stuff like that. I definitely won't be doing it again!!

I received 2 headlight adapters for my bike. It seems that for some reason (which goes against all usual Japanese simplicity), Honda tells you to use H7 bulbs, but doesn't actually make the plug for the bulbs the correct size... so you need to use these £15 each adapters. One of my bulbs blew the other week, and when throwing it away, Clever Steve didn't actually realise that there was an adapter connected to the bulb... I wanted to get the MTec bulbs too, so I was going to change both bulbs at the same time, so I decided to throw both bulbs away... complete with their adapters. *sigh* I'm normally quite observant and careful, and I'm not really sure why I decided to throw away one perfectly functioning bulb.... I guess I just wanted the two new ones to go in at the same time. Anyway... this is what £30's worth of headlight bulb adapters look like

niiice

ooooh, tempting....

no-one in their right mind would buy that heap of crap though i hope...

epic

i don't think breaking it will get you much extra once you factor in all the time and effort that goes in to removing parts and having to find stock bits to replace them with... Plus it's not like you've got a huge amount of mods.... You could maybe sell the Apexi N1 and Tanabe Strut Brace seperately if you can get a stock exhaust put back on, but those items might make it stand out more from the crowd of other t-sports for sale. £4-4.5k looks like a fair sum I'd have thought.

why thank you Sir. i have my moments.

check your connections and lube em up with a bit o'vaseline edit: ...err... lube the connections, not the Police. they don't appreciate that. 2nd edit: when they're on duty, anyway.

either the Fiat and BMW owners don't understand what JDM means, and they just assume it's something to do with tuning... ...or it's a tongue in cheek pisstake towards Jap car owners. Although my Celica isn't an 'import', it did have a small 'Made in Japan' sticker in the top corner of the windscreen; so technically.......

it just means the only red is rear-facing, and not visible from the top or front... which is nice and stealthy without restricting visibility.
