The biggest issue is the weight, removal is always easier than refitting. The most fiddly part is undoing the torque converter, you have to remove the starter motor and turn it till the bolt is in view and accessible, turn repeat, turn repeat. Snoreeeee! Downpipes get rusty and are a pita sometimes. Battery out before you do anything buddy. You may need some 1ft long 1/2" extension bars, to access the top two. I do it with a ring spanner round the bell housing but I have gibbon arms.

Very much so!

That's a shame mate, the gripes and groans of the few don't make the club though it must be said, lots of positive stuff happens and 99% of people are very friendly, that's life though isn't it.

Ah that's interesting mate, which one or where was it roughly?

Hi guys decided to fix this pesky issue. Regardless of the temperature set my car ALWAYS blows hot air, even when the blowers are off hot air radiates into the cabin, its fine in winter but on a hot day it gets a bit annoying. It's almost as if there is a valve that is broken so the heater matrix is constantly being supplied with hot coolant from the engine, is that possible? my Ac compressor and rad etc is all deleted but theres no reason it shouldn't be able to just blow cool air if you see what I mean, like a non AC equipped car. Where do I start?

It may have been Hellraiser, his is extremely clean and BRIGHT red. It's more likely to be the na owned by a lad this way who isn't a member, it wasn't mine as I've been in Plymouth all day and unless the thieves brought it back it's still here now I walked past it coming through the backdoor lol.

Sorry no that was in response to Petra question about what to do with the gearbox.

Jeff said it was likely the TPS (throttle position sensor) this is located on the plenum. There's a how to on the subject, multimeter and a screwdriver type job.

Swb is the better track car, Lwb better for drifting on the road you'd have to be pushing it for it to matter. The 6 speed swap most people refer to is the 6 out of a 350z but the 5 sod is stronger and you won't be able to use 6th properly. If you want closer ratios fit the 4.1 ratio r200 diff out if an NA car.

I dunno if it was exactly 5mm just gaz said above about 5mm if he remembers correctly. You would need to check it.

No, what he means is the disc has a different offset so needed a 5mm packer to line up the disc and calliper to the same position, so they line up.

If you look at the chassis tag it will state vg30(dett) or conversely vg30(de)

I would expect the cluster has been changed, you would be barmy to convert a TT to an NA, you would likely have all sorts of tale tales, a hicas solenoid for one, or the provisions for one, wiring and or hoses etc. Rad mounting position, oil cooler, brake disc thickness(not always) basically you soon start to find other things that made you think hrmmm.

I need to do this, but need to get to a printer. We don't own one you see, we haven't got a desktop computer or a lawn mover yet as it happens lol.

Have you spotted one you like? Get some pictures of the r32 up :) welcome to the club.

Dorset Cyder is better :p Cornish is best yummy rattler.

TBF a lot of people count the mot as maintenance, "it's in great condition, passed it's MOT last week" etc, so it's pretty important to get those numpties in once a year to check their crap boxes over, we have all seen them, exhaust falling off trim hanging out. I think if they ever do increase the lifespan of the MOT to two years the accident rate will go up. I know most of my other halfs friends don't know they need to check oil and water and tyres etc you know the basic stuff.

Mine will rot eventually, there is some surface there being picky but the inside is clean (I've checked) I filled it with some paint while I was there. I plan to get it properly protected, my sill and chassis rails need re under sealing from bad jacking.

Exactly that Jeff I'd rather know if it's not right, but when you know there's nothing wrong and someone's trying to dupe you it's not cool. I probably spend more time under that car than in it so I know every nut and bolt, if it's not right I likely already know about it. Thankfully I have now found a chap who is reasonable and is happy for me to take the opportunity come mot time to have a good look under myself while it's up there.

I think some testers are just desperate to fail cars, one place mine came out with a list of advisorys as long as your arm. It passed but he made out he had done me a favour. The car had been at zedworld the year before and only done like 3k miles, I liked couldn't see any of them aside from the rear tyres on the markers(they love that one don't they, unless they are spanking new they are always worn apparently) mot it a year later somewhere else, he commented on how clean and together the car was for its age... Good luck, bet it passes.

Gt and giant have always been good value for money. Cycling is one those things you can seriously spend money on, my BMX when I built it cost nearly as much as my zed did to buy, or would have done if I hadn't been jammy and smart. My mate was a manager at a bike shop and a lot of it was imported so I didn't pay UK market value for anything, for example the frame was £390 over here I paid $300 big difference. Really you need to work out what you need, if you simply want to ride a mile or two to work each day a hard tail mountain bike for a few hundred will be fine and allow you to do some trail riding etc. If however you want it to race or travel long distances your going to start having to look at a dedicated road bike, personally road rising is boring. So on a so forth, you just need to work out what you intended to use it for, you very much get what you pay for though. A cheap bike won't last.

I knew that would be asked haha, working on last year as a model first entry was at 9.30, they haven't as far as I'm aware set that time openly yet, maybe Si could clarify. Based upon that assumption 9am at Applemore would give a nice time and allow for the late comers, I was late myself last year.

If anyone wishes to meet at the traditional spot to cruise in, in convoy (this should ensure the majority arrive together as requested) rally point is; Sizer Way Dibden Southampton Hampshire SO45 5JA England The judging is being done at approx 2pm, so don't do a disappearing act and be one if the two inside with no signal when yours being nominated for best in show! (Scott and Gaz) haha.

I take it that some EU enforced bull shit?
