Bart, To save you alot of hassle then if our planning to change the clutch or maybe sticking in a lightweight flywheel then its alot easier to change the bushings when the gearbox is off. Hva ebeen told its a very fiddley job to do from the inside of the car. Sounds like a good excuse for a flywheel:D

LOL, It was only a matter of time I guess! :rofl:

Thanks for that Chunk. I will be spreading the word. What will they think of next! :xxx: Justin:)

Cheers for that Richard. :bow: I have spoken to my mate whos an accountant and she says that you do get double taxation relief which means our wonderful goverment will only sting me for 20.5% as I would already have paid 19.5% in Bulgaria but ultmately I will still be paying 40%! :headvswal I did not think about solicitors fees etc thought, thats a good point. Don't suppose you would know if its only gains made on the core price of the property that is taxable? Say for example I bought a place for £40000, I would then have additional expenses such as VAT, Stamp duty, Solicitors fees (as mentioned), Agency fees and about £2000 to furnish the apartment. I wonder if all this could be offset when working out the gain? I know one thing, the way this country is going I am tempted to just move into the apartment in Bulgaria and leave all this crap behind!

Hi lads, anyone help me out here, I can't wait till Monday to ask an accountant! I am very seriously looking into purchasing a ski apartent in Bulgaria as an investment. It all seems like a great idea untill the time comes to sell it and get hold of my big lump sum of dosh (hopefully). I know when I sell the place I am subject to 19.5% 'corporation tax' in Bulgaria......... Ouch! However if I keep hold of the property for 5 years or mnore then I won't pay anything out at all. The issue I am trying to resolve is when I get the money back into good old Blighty will I then have to pay 40% Capital gains tax on what money I have left over after Bulgaria has had its share. I know you do get a tax free allowance of £8000 over here but you have to admit, If I have to pay tax out of my profit in both countries the amount I end up with is hardly worth the hassle of buying the place in the first place! Anyone have any experience with this or similar? Surely I can't get stung in both countries!!?? :confused: Cheers, Justin

2-1 England:D

Great to see the lads playing a decent game of football. Top of the group! :dance: :dance:

It's coming from the engine as far as I can hear. I did not have anyone around at the time to rev the engine so I could hear exactly where it was coming from though.

In need of your ideas on the above issue :confused: The noise is louder when the engine is cold and seems to "rev" with the engine. Anyone have a clue? The idle is all over the place also, sometimes normal, sometimes hitting 2000rpm.....don't know if this is related? Cheers :bow: Justin

No can do unless you have brackets fella. I know Chris@GetGreddy usually has them in stock. Think they are about £70. Good luck, Justin:)

I just installed Blubster. Any opinions on this one?

My WinMX for some reason has stopped working, I'm told this is because its no longer a free program and you have to pay for the MP3's now. Does anyone know of any decent free file sharing programs out there I can use that won't swamp my PC with rubbish like Kazaa used to do? Thanks, Justin:)

Try this, can't find the page I used but should do the job. http://www.freedownloads.be/downloaddetail/727

Has anyone had any problems signing in after installing the above? I couldn't so am now back on 7.0.

PMSL, Wondered what the hell you were on about with this Harmz bloke untill I did a search. He's class! :hyper:

Who banned him, let him back so we can slate him some more and laugh at his ridiculous comments. See below! :tongue: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=56853 What a :xxx: LOL!

Why do one or two when you can do all three! I reckon £600 for a cambelt service (unless you can prove it was done recently), £250 for wheel refurbisment. I would say the £150 remaining is more than enough for your subscription and for a bodyshop to chuck some compound on your car and go over with a mop. Should put the shine back in the bodywork:) Justin

A mate dug this letter up from the past a few days ago and it reminded me of how funny it was and how shite NTL can be! :smash: Enjoy :dance: This a copy of a complaint letter that was actually received by NTL. Dear Cretins, I have been an NTL customer since 9th July 2001, when I signed up for your 3-in-one deal for cable TV, cable modem, and telephone. During this three-month period I have encountered inadequacy of service which I had not previously considered possible, as well as ignorance and stupidity of monolithic proportions. Please allow me to provide specific details, so that you can either pursue your professional prerogative, and seek to rectify these difficulties - or more likely (I suspect) so that you can have some entertaining reading material as you while away the working day smoking B&H and drinking vendor-coffee on the bog in your office. My initial installation was cancelled without warning or notice, resulting in my spending an entire Saturday sitting on my fat arse waiting for your technician to arrive. When he did not arrive at all, I spent a further 57 minutes listening to your infuriating hold music, and the even more annoying Scottish robot woman telling me to look at your helpful website.... how? I alleviated the boredom to some small degree by playing with my testi*les for a few minutes - an activity at which you are no-doubt both familiar and highly adept. The rescheduled installation then took place some two weeks later, although the technician did forget to bring a number of vital tools - such as a drill-bit, and his cerebrum. Two weeks later, my cable modem had still not arrived. After several further telephone calls (actually 15 telephone calls over 4 weeks) my modem arrived ... a total of six weeks after I had requested it, and begun to pay for it. I estimate that the downtime of your internet servers is roughly 35%... these are usually the hours between about 6pm and midnight, Monday to Friday, and most of the useful periods over the weekend. I am still waiting for my telephone connection. I have made 9 telephone calls on my mobile to your no-help line this week, and have been unhelpfully transferred to a variety of disinterested individuals, who are it seems also highly skilled *****ck jugglers. I have been informed that a telephone line is available (and someone will call me back), that no telephone line is available (and someone will call me back), that I will be transferred to someone who knows whether or not a telephone line is available (and then been cut off), that I will be transferred to someone who knows whether or not a telephone line is available (and then been redirected to an answer machine informing me that your office is closed), that I will be transferred to someone who knows whether or not a telephone line is available (and then been redirected to the irritating Scottish robot woman.... and several other variations on this theme. Doubtless you are no-longer reading this letter, as you have at least a thousand other dissatisfied customers to ignore, and also another one of those crucially important testicle-moments to attend to. Frankly I don't care, it's far more satisfying as a customer to voice my frustrations in print than to shout them at your unending hold music. Forgive me, therefore, if I continue. I thought BT were sh*t, that they had attained the holy piss-pot of god-awful customer relations, that no-one, anywhere, ever, could be more disinterested, less helpful or more obstructive to delivering service to their customers. That's why I chose NTL, and because, well, there isn't anyone else is there? How surprised I therefore was, when I discovered to my considerable dissatisfaction and disappointment what a useless shower of *******s you truly are. You are sputum-filled pieces of distended rectum - incompetents of the highest order. British Telecom - ****ers though they are - shine like brilliant beacons of success, in the filthy puss-filled mire of your seemingly limitless inadequacy. Suffice to say that I have now given up on my futile and foolhardy quest to receive any kind of service from you. I suggest that you do likewise, and cease any potential future attempts to extort payment from me for the services which you have so pointedly and catastrophically failed to deliver - any such activity will be greeted initially with hilarity and disbelief - although these feelings will quickly be replaced by derision, and even perhaps a small measure of bemused rage. I enclose two small deposits, selected with great care from my cats litter tray, as an expression of my utter and complete contempt for both you, and your pointless company. I sincerely hope that they have not become desiccated during transit - they were satisfyingly moist at the time of posting, and I would feel considerable disappointment if you did not experience both their rich aroma and delicate texture. Consider them the very embodiment of my feelings towards NTL, and it's worthless employees. Have a nice day - may it be the last in you miserable short life, you irritatingly incompetent and infuriatingly unhelpful bunch of tw*ts, Yours psychotically John Doe [editor's note: name changed to protect the innocent]

No ones mentioned it because its now just a known fact in the same way as its a fact that too many pies make you fat!:D I await the responce from the Dark Side! :tongue:

I don't have any idea on price as I bought mine of Faisal from here second hand. I reckon you best get in touch with Chris@GetGreddy. I'm sure he would do you a good deal on a set. Justin:)

I am rather keen on my Greddy skirts. Nice and subtle, could almost be standard from the factory.

No, not really. The general rule is thats twin filters are a waste of money unless your putting out around 500 ponies and very few of us on here are doing so! If you are planning that kinda power then I'm sure someone like Chris@GetGreddy will be able to do you one at a very good price and give you some good advice on whats what. Hope this helps, Justin:)

Yeah, I reckon so. Better than ID too.

Just seen the above, must be the best football movie ever and one of the most worthwhile trips to the cinema I have made this year. Go and see it!

I hit 152 mph on the GPS before losing my bottle when I remembered I had Jap spec tyres still on the car! :smash:
