Threw it into some corners to see what difference new tyres, tie rods, track rod ends, ball joints and powerflex arb bushes make. Turns out the car is now far better at taking corners than I am, time to learn how to drive it properly all over again.

What, to get the thing started, or before it breaks down?

Lol f*cking hell, we're all f*cked if he brings the TVR. :evil: Non members can come along, there's one on the list already. (Ben the blob eye scooby man)

The thing is he was quoting me that price on the gearbox you swapped for me, the one where the fluid was a weird colour and was full of pieces of cogs, I even explained to him what had happened to it aswel. :S Maybe he was quoting me a price based on a working box or something.

Yesterday he was saying it wasn't worth painting as for the cost of buying and painting it he can get one in the colour he wants for the same money ffs.

Spot on mate, totally effortless.

I spoke to him on the phone when my box exploded at 70mph and he thinks the most anyone should realistically spend on a JC5 130 rebuild would be £350, that of course assuming it's not absolutely f*cked and only useful as a doorstop.

Well as Fred said, the steering racks don't really go wrong on these and he was right, DCIRaz and his mate Andy got it up on a lift, took the subframe off, unbolted the steering rack, then realised there was sod all wrong with it. However the tie rods and track rod ends that are less than a few...

I just hope I don't end up pushing the dog kennel across the line, f*cking thing hates me at the minute.

Well seeing as I piss all over 90 year olds in their Honda Jazz's, I should be king of the universe on the strip. :evil: Oh and LewDew sent me a pm and apparently we all need to bring the paper counterpart to our licence's, Christ knows why, but rules are rules.

I told you the dog kennel will devastate all.......except Freds vee........and Toms turbo cup, but other than that you're all screwed........as long as I can fix the exhaust leak we discovered today. But yeah, you're all dead........maybe. :S

Yep no shorts or t-shirts, seeing as it's as cold as winter I doubt any of us will be rocking up in beach wear.

Don't forget, we all need helmets or they won't let us race.

Well yesterday it had new tie rods, track rod ends, ball joints, powerflex arb bushes, 2 new front tyres, and today the gear linkage was adjusted so every gear now slots in perfect. Also has a new bracket made up for the broken ecu, it's now bolted to where it should be, I also cleaned the...

Not even the people who've worked hard for it? :S

Decent exhaust, Eibach springs, Brembo HC discs and pads or DS2500 pads, plus braided lines, standard airbox/V6 box/K-Tec induction kit (your choice) as far as a remap goes, get an RSTuner and do it yourself, it's far cheaper and sorts out alot of the cold start issues and lumpy idle. Fastchip...

So he spuffed his money up the wall on bullsh*t like a 5 million dollar garage with elevator, then had to sell everything? Well done. lol

If you're going to spend 5 million dollars on a garage, at least fill it with American muscles cars FFS!!!

All that money and still no imagination or taste, he doesn't own a single decent car, and he's filled another garage with bikes he's never even ridden and half of them have never even been started. I mean what's the f*cking point?!!! :S

Most of us go for satin black as it makes the plastics look like they're brand new from the factory, but if you're after a change then gloss black.

Flol quality.

That's a Powerflex mount aswel and was fitted last year by Dan@519 when the box was replaced, highly doubt it's that seeing as i've had no issues until these last two weeks.

Sainsbury's Super Unleaded all the way for me, cheap as chips.

As far as I can tell the upper gearbox mount is symmetrical though?

Yep music was definitely louder than the voice overs, it was really noticeable on the Panda team test.

Haha, no you didn't snap a bolt, but you did 'support' the engine so much that the engine mount committed suicide and the whole chassis dropped down a good 6 inches. lol In fact I had to stop you getting jack happy today, as all we needed was a torque wrench. ;)

You are f*cking heavy handed sometimes lol. I just hope it friggin' works, you take reverse for granted until you don't have it.

Reminder that it's starting now on Discovery HD.

Ok will do, i'm really not a fan of Clio's atm. :dapprove:

Brilliant.........you're a dick. lol Ok nice one mate.
