I have cleaned my car today and have taken some pics of a cheap bit of respray work i had done a year ago, you can see for yourselves how bad it is. hopefully though i should be getting a full respray soon. Remember kids if it seems like someones offering a really cheap price you are gonna get a...
My mate has borrowed his dads old camper van and he decided he wanted to camping last night. We spent half the night on Cannock MacDonalds getting all the boyracer muppets in their escorts and novas to do wheelspins and my mates were pulling moonies at everyone and asking them who they thought...
i scared the kids next door with mine, i started it without looking and there were a load of kids standing next to my car, i heard them all scream and 2 mins later my next door neighbour knocked on the door thinking their kids were mad when they were saying the car started itself!
saying that though i had a good blast with an audi a3 quattro an the A14 the other day, looked suprised when he wasnt getting any further away. When the traffic started building up he didnt slow down at all, i did not worth it when there are other cars about.
if you go to merry hill or bham you can get loads of people racing all at once! One time at merry hill there were so many people trying to race there was a traffic queue! I wont race up there too dodgy, too many nob heads in robbed metros failing to realise that there brakes dont work as well as...
daz your right, exept my bros old mk 2 fiesta 1.1, which when crawling along in first gear used to jump itself into reverse! you should have seen peoples faces in the cars behind!
my bro had an accident in his fiesta zetec and he had air filter, alloy wheels, black rear clusters, and he hadnt told the insurance company (direct line) and they still paid out, they just said to swap the aftermarket stuff with the standard stuff as they wouldnt cover the cost of the mods.
i know in some cars it helps if you hold the clutch down for 2-3 secs before engaging reverse. my mates escort rs turbo was the worst, had to put it into second before putting it into first and if he selected reverse you would hear a lovely grinding noise followed by the exhaust shaking violetly...
i use mine all the time in the morning to get her warmed up. Due to the leaky sunroof though it can be a little temprimental! with the new alarms its impossible to start it in gear as you have to set the remote engine start before you turn off the engine.
i think i broke the limiter on my old work places volvo! it used to limit at 5.8k or somthing like that but after a few hefty thrashes here and there it then would go right into the red line.. oh well!
just had a quick mosey round the city centre, quite busy so i didnt stop, i must say there were quite a few nice youngs ladies strolling around, dont think they noticed me stareing lol! i think iwent past some college/uni cus there looked like loads of students about, (you can always spot them!)...
there is a guy who has a pink (!) nova with a 2.1 engine in. totally stripped out, it just has one bucket seat bolted straight to the floor. very tidy motor and it shifts!
my mate had a 1.3 sr (ashley exhaust, k&n airfilter) and i had a standard clio rt, in a race 1st gear equal, second gear id pull half a car lenghth then after that id start to leave him behind! Saying that though i raced a 1.4 sr on throttle bodies in my 16v, fookin ell, he suprised me, he...
daz on the one i took off it was actually screwed in with two screws, i cut all the wires then had to try and twist the whole clocks facia round to get to the screws.
i took one out of a clio rt in a scrappy, was a right barstid to get out,as it wasnt mine i resorted to snipping all the wires with pliers! I think i would have been able to get them off but not back on again! hardest bit was the speedo cable, it has two screws in the back. I think daz has taken...
also caught glimpse of this luvly saxo, could barely keep up with him, those viper stripes give you 100bhp you know!http://www.angelfire.com/or3/derv/saxo.jpg
Well im back, was a good ride out, went up to Norwich in the end. Had a bit of a blast with an Audi a4, kept up with him all the way to !30 he only gained about 2 cars lengths on me. He definately knew i was there cus he kept looking in his mirror!
Also saw this beauty of an escort for sale...
