Used to do it alot but I find I have less time these days. And thee increased fuel price and ridiculous no excuses speeding policy theyre running in dorset atm takes the enjoyment out :(

You say that rich but I saw a mgbgt other day the chrome all removed and powder coated satin black very very smart looking

What sorta costings you looking at to coat a set of 18" alloys? a diff lip colour to the centre?

Chrome is in my opion very dated and tacky

Right now more confused looked at one off the engine didnt find what I expectred. But minr is def not quite right. How does the stock series one jdm oil cooler route?

Not if I turned up no lol

How have you managed to kill so many vg blocks? What went on them not wanting cause things to kick off but it sounds like they werent built very well. More details please, im sure yowser was explaining a while back yhe vg is actually power to power a better engine format. There are vgtt lumps out there with over 300k on a stamdard block. I know they have a reap for being weak I blew one myself but its mostly due to poor modding or servicing.

Happy birthday man.

Happy birthday man.

Not as a matter of corse. But I may...

may have moved as it wasnt there this time theres plently of odd stuff round here. osterich farm a life sized staue of a camel in some ones front garden that sorta thing lol can get a bit confusing.

havent most autobahns now been restricted in loose terms to 155mph but are considered unlimited because most people wont ever get to that speed. i beleiev you can still be cahrged with dangerous driving if they deem it tooooo fast for the conditions etc etc. isle of man is the same there is no speed limit but you can be cahrged for furious driving.

your lucky "interesting" stuff happens to me all the time i was rather staertled the other day to find a jirraffe or however you spell it .that cross breed thing between a lanky necked african cow and a brontosarus. in the middle of a field in dorset in the winter and no it werent marwell tahts in hampshire. thankfully it was clearly made of papermashae on closer inspection thankfully.

haha it doesnt count if you dont tyake them yourself get out there in that dark welsh night get on your knees and photograph the inside of your sills which if i rember right are filled up with oil tar and other stuff you found in your shed! hahahaha

spent 3 hours digging a hole today then me and the boss put soem sheet over it to keep the pipework clean. was about 3 foot deep so we moved some bits to make it hard to acess the area. i stood strauight over the hole fell in.

no because jeff would have provided pictures duh

cheers for clearing that up david. and no your name isnt jeff wanna know why?

if you want help give us a shout bud, im not the most experinced zed worker but im getting there and always happy to help. local spirt and all

nasty!

id asume it was the same issue ian? this hole targas draining into the sill jeff how does taht work? do they literally drain intpo the cavity or do they pass through?

i like the cossie dont get me wrong i prefer the sierra cossies to the escort but it has to be the proper rs 3 door jobbie not a saph. there are however two very big oproblems with the escort cosworth. firstly it will always look like a mk4 escort and the uneducated will always asume thats what it is and its been chavafied, there is no getting away from that. Secondly the yb yeah its great yeh you can make monster power from it but it is only a 205 block pinto with a 16v head and a different crank. most you can pull out of a pinto without that turbo and 16v is about 210bhp i ran one running 130rwhp which i built myself. it ran good sounded awesome but low end power was sacruificed for top end bhp. once you go mad and try to put 1000 hp through a cossie yb you end up with a fat ass turbo this plus small capacity equals lag. the age old saying there is no replacement for displacement is false we all know that thats why we brought turbo cars. however ther was some truth in it and styraight line from a standing start, there isnt any replacement. but bolting forced induction ggoodies into the equation build majorly quick and more importntly strong engines. if 2.0 tubs were the best engines ever for building power regaurless of relaibilty or anything else dragsters would all be running pocket engines. but they dont do they. thats where the rb and the vg are great smallish capacity with forced induction gives the best of both worlds giving you torque and bhpo to complete a nice smooth powercurve that provides bottom end grunt till boost. just my two pence worth.

i think he wanted to be the only z in dorch lol

i dont tink many pof us will need to worry you can however use the gtr r200 lsd which is more robust 6 bolt rather than 4. slick pete has done this i believe.

well i say lots maybe 10 in dorset and hants most are garage bound. its normal the same ones. still a rare beast. round here they seem to be more. many places they have never seen another one other than thier own. the south coast has 3 of the uks most high powered zeds.
