  1. Lol your not mate don't let me get to you [emoji2] I am the next generation though your right and I can't wait!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh beers taking ahold she of working long days to pay for car parts is I feel I have no evenings
  2. A few generations iv mistaken how old you really are haha gramps [emoji38][emoji39] I know the feeling you got a few years ago mate, iv yet to have a ride in a boosted 2zz yet...would love to soon. I'd be the same as you mate hard not to put the pedal down even now on a stock engine. Cams and pulleys won't make it any better.
  3. All this boosted talk is killing me, you've spent enough of my money recently Joe now stop it! [emoji6]
  4. Getting her track ready for next years shows, clutch, pulleys and cams on the agenda now. By next summer hope to have coilies and wheels
  5. Noway you dog! Haha that's an awesome story well done [emoji106]
  6. Exactly, to all of us owning our cars isn't just owning a car it's also our hobby I look forward to spending a day with my car tinkering and driving just like others like to go fishing, play with train sets etc... [emoji4][emoji4]
  7. Owned it since December and I'm on about £1300 minus fluids and consumables...got a lot for that though
  8. I know what you mean, in kinda torn really It's not my daily anymore so I don't really need it but I dunno, it's not that heavy only add about 2kg so I don't mind that much I can strip something else out to make it up easily enough I'd like a ride in Myk's, should be dead quiet in there
  9. Good to hear so it does the job decently then? I'm not looking for miracles just a bit less road noise is all And it's only the clear film I peel off to reveal the sticky back and leave the other side right? The shiny tin faces upwards...
  10. There is an m4 convoy thread in meetings mate have a look and see if you can get on it [emoji106]
  11. Ahhh right that's cleared it up I was thinking iv had no real problem with the paints Cheers for the heads up mate ill be returning my alloys in near future
  12. Lol are you saying that about the etch primer or in general?
  13. They sell their own brand etch primer too mate, I was just looking today lol I think theirs is 6.99 for a 500ml can
  14. Nice cheers lads Well ill get my filler, I'm thinking 4 500ml cans of alloy wheel paint and 2 cans of alloy wheel laqueur I guess and see how it goes Might go for white like yours Wilo they look superb
  15. Ahh nice not a bad price either. Looks like halfords will be the one stop shop then. Cheers
  16. Can anyone recommend a decent filler they have used before? And a good hard paint? Ill be going for gloss black, I know halfords have an alloy wheel paint and lacquer range. I have 6 days off coming up and want to refurb my alloys patiently and properly Cheers
  17. Haha cheers Dan, I got it back on now want too bad like you said Got a trowel in between it and the block and once it started peeling I just pulled it off with my hands not too bad at all! Wasn't any proper sludge in there really just black oil, I'm surprised at the colour of my oil after about 3000 miles, but that oil should act as a flush now the good stuff is going in And against recommendations I ran an engine flush through it for 5 minutes
  18. I'm dropping and cleaning my oil sump today on my gen 7 What is best to clean it with? Should I use a product or just wipe out the sludge with some cloth? Iv got some basic high temp liquid gasket that should do Any random pointers appreciated thanks Jon
  19. To get it more back to oem size your looking more at a 225/35
  20. Oh really? I'm sure when I sized them up next to eachother they were the same, just assumed the spacers worked in some other way Ha well there goes that idea -.-
  21. What I was thinking for future, and another spin on getting a bent short shifter, was just cutting the oem one down and re-threading. I could cut it easily enough and I'm sure a metal working place wouldn't charge much to thread it. As iv already bought and installed the eBay short shifter ill leave the spacers in the bottom of the shifter cage and just swap out the stick...shazamm an oem quality short shifter
  22. Yeah, I was sat in my living room and have 3 big pine trees out the back and I thought they were on fire any gust of wind and they were smoking really bad
  23. Dammm I can't wait to see that in the flesh
