Quote from e2mustang :

any normal person has a set of winter and summer wheels.
(mine:front summer wheels,rear winter)

Not in england we dont, well, maybe some people might, but its certianly not the norm.

Lol.

I was round a wonderful womans (and potential love interests) house watching a film with her and the kids tonight, so i am therefore in a good mood and am having a good night, i then leave to come home, and oh look, some fecker (ill get to that in a second) has bashed into the side of my lil mazda, how glorious, let joy be unconfined!

Im 99.99% sure of who may have done it, intentionally or not, due to the directional tyre tread pattern that has been left on the side of the car, it may have been an accident, but i personally think it was done for a reason, short version of the story being that i lost contact with this lady for a number of years and we only just recently found eachother again, and have been spending quite a bit of time together, and theres someone who goes round to see her and to be honest is a bit lovesick and slightly obsessed i think, so when i waltz back into her life after all this time, i think a touch of the old green eyed monster and jealousy has come into play, plus i put him in his place the other night in front of a few people when we were all out at a car park cruise meet thing and he was casually telling anyone who'd listen that she was his girlfriend, while she was well out of earshot, but without realising i was stood there, so me making him look a tit by saying (in a loud voice) "erm, well someone had better tell her that then matey coz she's not seeing anyone as far as she's aware of" may not have done me any favours, i wasn't doing it to show off or anything, i just dont thing saying that sort of stuff is really on, especially when its bullshit.

He's a nice enough bloke really, kind hearted and stuff, likes his cars and things, i actually get on with him quite well, he's a very wise bloke, and believe me, i know how it feels to like someone so much and not have them feel the same, it is pretty shitty, but to be fair he is in his late 50's, 20 odd years older than she is, and as much as she has told him in the nicest and gentlest way possible numerous times that he isnt her type and they are only mates, etc, he still doesnt quite get it i dont think, as he gets a right arse on if i turn up, he'll speak to me and that, but you can see his face change when i walk in, its like a 'how dare he be here' sort of thing, but he does mellow after a while, usually.

There was the night when he walked in, saw us all having dinner that i had sorted out, me and her squashed up together all comfy on the sofa feeding eachother slices of pizza, so he did a big '**** this im going home' speech which nobody really paid much attention to, he hasnt really got the message i dont think.

SO, although i know he did it, he whacked my roadster, im gonna go out on the drive tomorrow, pull the dent out, get it all looking as good as possible (its not that bigger dent) and not say anything about it, act as if nothing ever happened, as i reckon he's expecting me to say did you hit my car, then he'll say so what if i did, he wants a confrontation, im sure of it, but i aint gonna give him that satisfaction!

does this then mean that we can use this section on fern bay green as a little oval and we wont fall thru the road anymore??




I really hope so!

'little six' is dead

This was one of the first trikes that my friend built, made from a GSXR 600f, and baby bro to the 750 SRAD derived machine i posted a few pages back, until an oncoming car tried to squeeze through between a parked car (on their side of the road) and the trike, but the car driver just glanced, saw the front of a bike, thought, well its a bike, didnt see the rear wheels which are obviously gonna be wider, and basically ran it over, which in turn caused the right rear to stop, slamming the trike into the side of the aforementioned car.

The forks are bent, the handlebars are bent, the frame is bent, one driveshaft is broken, the bottom arm is bent, the entire rear suspension unit and diff setup has shifted, its basically ruined.





However, in other news, the newest addition to the trike world built by ian is now nearly ready, this ones built from a yamaha yzf1000 is now nearly completed, just needs rear brakes connecting up, rear shocks fitting, a rear silencer and its ready for the VOSA inspection (coz its custom built) and then an MOT, im gonna be prepping the faring for new paint once we have it roadworthy.

If the floors creased or chassis members are kinked under the rear they'll almost certianly write it off i would imagine, once a crumple zone has crumpled they are hardly worth repairing usually

Quote from mrodgers :

I've never seen a Ford rust.

It may be different in america, but it was certianly the trend over here in the 80's and 90's that fords rot out quite badly.

In 1989 my parents bought one of these brand new, a mk4 escort, and when it went for its very first MOT (once it reached 3 years old) it needed welding work on the rear sills to pass, and the wheel arches had already started to bubble.

All washed and dried!

Quote from PoVo :

That's because the MOT Inspector was afraid to argue with a pikey joke

My roadster has a k&n 57i induction kit, a stainless mazda sports system, and a decat pipe, and it passed the MOT, without the cat.

My car had 2 small holes in the rear panel where that badge should be, found a used replacement one on ebay for a fiver, now its all looking as it should, all fitted.

Stopped by police Frequently, i used to be, not because of amything to do with my driving, i just had a chavved up astra that pretty much was asking to be pulled over constantly.

Use mobile while driving I take the odd phonecall if its someone important and tell em to ring me back, certianly not drive texting tho.

Made an insurance claim for an accident (my fault) No

Made an insurance claim for an accident (twasn't me) Yes, was stuffed while stationary at a roundabout my a pensioner in a fiat punto, mine was a write off, but his came off even worse.

Ran a red light in the past 12 months Nope

Driven the wrong way down a one-way-street Nope

Hit a stationary object while parking Nope

Accidentally clipped a car but kept quiet Nope

Take risks (overtaking, fast acceleration) Never been one for retarded overtaking, but i do like quick acceleration.

Suffer road rage Nah

Speeding Maybe slightly, 80 on a motorway or something, but mainly no

Scare others while driving No

Attempts to pass driving test 2

Number of prangs (i.e. Collisions/crashes) 2, the aforementioned pensioner, and i once rear ended a drink driver who ripped the handbrake up right in front of me for no apparent reason, who then reverse rammed my car and drove off.

Sim/non-sim racer before getting a driving licence Non sim racer, they werent invented when i passed my test haha

Years driven 8 years


THIS is what potentially results from texting at the wheel, and why i would never do it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I54mlK0kVw

It already has that on, well i think its that one, its a stainless system that my mate got for it when he had it, and he got it from mx5parts, their sports system so he said i think.

Its sounds quite nice as it is, plus the de cat makes it more rapid already, but for me id like a bit more rumble, and i dont mean like the prats who put a rage 5 inch backbox on a civic which sounds stupid, i like proper deep and grunty sound, which i think an ashley exhaust system can provide, i have known a few people who run them, and they sound amazing, i love the poppy sort of raspy sound they make, one of their setups will almost certianly be my next buy.

This is the sound i mean...

Mines the 1.6, the mate i bought mine off sold me this one when he upgraded to a '95 1.8, but mine still leaves his for dead off the mark, apparently the extra weight of the 1800 near enough negates the extra horses from the bigger engine so i hear, plus something about gearing, when we get to about 80 odd he starts creeping closer, then can pass me, but for me top end isnt a worry, i dont care about how fast it goes, all that matters to me is how fast it accelerates

Took my best best (SO wish she was my girl)friend out in it last night, we drove a couple of miles and she said its quite quick aint it, and i was like yeah, but what she never knew was that i had only been using about 2/3 throttle and going upto only about 4k revs up until that point, so just after she said that i used all the loud pedal and went to 6k in gears 1 2 and 3, i backed off after that, i have never seen someones face break out into such a grin like that before, then she said, this is silly f--king quick!!!

A couple of pics as promised.

Before...



After!



I just gotta sort out the paintwork, (yes i am aware that i have a cream drivers door lol) fit the new tyres and she's just about done, well, cosmetics and safety wise anyway, then it'll be time for looking at stuff like cams with a longer duration and a higher lift, different exhausts etc, its quick, but i want quicker!

I have the eunos back as of today, all tested and legal, fully repaired, but due to the lowered suspension i had fitted, drives like a different car, more like a go kart than a car, move the steering wheel minimally, it instantly responds and turns further than it always used to, much more direct, plus the ride is much more tigher, it feels good, and looks lovely, pics to follow in daylight, i am a happpy bunny tpday!

Quote from Bawbag :

Maybe I'm reading this wrong but Bullflame said 13.6 down the 1/4 from a modified golf (150 to 240bhp) is piss poor and claimed a standard PD150 could do it in the same time.

To which pretty much every calls bullshit to, 240bhp going under 14 secs is impressive, but 150bhp getting anywhere close, lolz.

Yeah i probably mis read it, but either way, its still bullshit lol.

Although i do know of something that produces 134bhp and can do a quarter in 11.4, and that was a on a damp track with a little wheelspin off the line, but it isnt really a car, its a trike, only a 750 as well, the yamaha based 1000 trike is nearly finished now too, that should be able to run late or even mid 10's hopefully.

I agree with dustin here, if you dont think that a 13.xx time down a 1/4 strip isnt at least respectable for a standard production car such as a golf then you are quite frankly insane.

Quake, original ID1, by far!

I hit a pheasant when i had my rover, knocked a few of the little slats out of the grille, a small scratch on the bonnet and also committed the delightful act of shitting itself, literally, all over my car as it passed accross the windscreen and over the roof, and the little fecker also managed to take the rover badge off the grille as well, maybe taking the badge was a sign that the pheasant and the car had a mutual fate, death, as i blew a headgasket and then a gearbox in the following few months.

Quote from RasmusL :

On topic (unlike all you guys)..

Talking about music in a music thread, OMG, someone phone the internet police!

Ahh right, i was lead to believe that a clutch change on these was much more involved than on most cars due to it having a massive beam running all the way from gearbox to diff which you have to remove, thus making it an ass to do, but either way im chuffed to bits at having it back again soon.
