All about costs, an LS400 can be picked up for less than £900 in full working order, take the engine and break the car it should break even. Manual gearbox from a Supra. Aftermarket ECU and a couple of fabricated bits and pieces and I have a V8 conversion for a small amount.

^Scroll to the end, he's given up and put the engine on ebay... I cant afford a viper engine lol.

After going out in Brens V8 S14a and hearing from his driver Tim Webster what difference to the weight and balance an LS2 made I'm 100% going for a 1UZFE. Brens car was corner weighted with a distribution of 57/43 thats using a 6litre american V8. I've been looking into the weights of the...

I never really doubted it, it doesn't take much to fumble and lose out to another car and mapped diesels can be nippy, its just fun to join in. I didn't expect you to be that quick though...

Why not meet in a Birch Services which is the services at the M60/62/66? Everyone heading to RS Tuning from Manchester way can meet there as its the start of the 62 east again really and head out in convoy?

I was in 5th the whole time? Schooled by a diesel, ffs :( Good meet guys, nice to see every-one drove sensibly, no-one locked their wheels up or nearly had a head on crash or anything ;)

I'm so leaving notes on my door that your working in the strike ;)

Fair enough lol. The apex bits on my car have suffered for 2 years problem free so I guess I have no reason to complain. I was looking inot some Apex comfies as I went out in Brens demo S14a on Sunday and they were very comfy but the car went pretty well.

Malice seems to have a large hatred for Bren and all things Apex, from what I can tell Apex coilies are pretty good for the price?

Let me know how it does with body filler? So far, £28ish. Spares lying around from old projects is helping a lot :D Mate if you can get primer for £1.20 a tin then that'd be really helpfull, I'll ask for a good few cans of black and white and then arrange a courier for a bulk order? I'll send...

Whats a Jazzer? If I was going to use filler then I would mask off the tyre so it shouldn't be a problem. I've got an orbital sander but its too big for the wheel considering that I only wanna use coarse paper on the kerbed bits, its too much work sanding it smooth again to do the whole wheel...

Filler primers not that great tbh, at best it smooths out a slightly rough surface I've used it before. How much does it cost for proper metal filler?

I'm not sure, I hate using filler its messy and Im not sure if body fillers a good idea for the wheels. I'll see how it comes out with the sandpaper 1st and if they are still a mess I'll give filler a try. This is only the spare I guess if I fcuk it up then the other 4 will get a half assed job...

Power tools came to mind but its too small for the orbital sander or grinder :(

lol, not quite but getting laquer from autopaint kinda works like a discount, I think its around £3.99 for laquer there instead of £6.99 from halfords. Sandpaper was 97p from wicks, and masking tape dad pinched from work. winner :D

I have some laquer lying around already from when I rattle can'd the S13, so I only bought a can of primer and a can of paint.

My fingers are going to end up getting sanded through the state of the wheels :D I think some of the marks might be beyond a fix with sandpaper, I might need some metal filler :( I'll see how I get on.

Looks a bit slow there jord ;)

Ok, this is like a mini project so its not good enough for the projects section but should see a few updates... I recently bought myself a ph2 172, I got it for a reasonable price with a couple of niggles I need to sort out. For now I just want to tidy it up, when I've got some money I might...

oooft nicely done matt ;) Glad to hear you and your passenger got out ok though. If you wanna come to some meets whilst your without a motor lifts are available ;)

Going big for your 1st meet as a rep then sir. I likes it

Just trying to work this puzzle out has got me all kungfu'd...

If you look hard enough, you might find that 'old jesus' is still around to buy a doughnut... possibly..

On the poll or directions, I know which one I'm more proud of... :D;)

Search for jase's(j111ase ?) car its running those wheels, I'm not a big fan to be honest mate.

I think the RS Clios in general get more love one every other forum than CS, unless you have a a cup. Then a few people on CS respect it... I can actually see what your saying about having more fun in the vectra though, I found the 197 more fun than my 172 for the exact same reason, it was...
