I disagree, if that were true, we would all be wearing flares and driving around in Morris Minors. Move with the times, there is always room for improvement and inovation in anything we do!

Impressive! If only my passengers would load themselves that quickly!

Maybe a new year get together?

My wife and I can make it as we are on the way down to Dorset for the weekend, so count us in.

I havent used tapatalk for ages, this is way better IMO

That is the first day of my 8 days off. I could be interested, let me check with the better half...

I love it, it looks so much more modern and up to date. Havent had much time to play around with it yet, but loving what I have seen so far

Have you checked the drainage tubes and sills?! Sent from some app that I don't know how to use!

I've always liked this: It popped up on one of the Lego build sites/forum a few years ago Sent from some app that I don't know how to use!

GVWR I think is the Gross Vehicle Weight. Divide the pounds (LB) by 2.2 to get kilos. The other GVWR I think are the weight for front and back axels Sent from some app that I don't know how to use!

:lol: The three on the left are my gaming PC, the two on the right; one is for my linux server I run which controls the CCTV, email and any websites I host, the left one is a 2nd gaming PC for when my friend visits and the monitor on the floor is connected to the Raspberry Pi that runs the smart house. My wife has two monitors on her PC downstairs too :lol:

There are a couple of tiny dings I found but nothing to worry about, I'll get them pulled out at some time. I was wondering what to do about the faded/whiter stone chip area, thank you! Sent from some app that I don't know how to use!

No Zeds in my work space yet, but its not been finished yet...

Spend all day yesterday putting thing on, readjusting and fettling. I even managed to wash and polish it just to see the state of the paint work! It seems to be all original JDM black with a slight metallic flick to it. Ill investigate more later. I took it for a drive around my neighbourhood to see how it ran, gearbox was perfect. Smooth shifts, no bangs or crashes when changing. The engine seemed to be low on power, but the more I drove it around and around the better it seemed to run. More power seemed to appear and less black smoke! The TPS needs setting up properly though. On returning to the house after doing 7 miles of loops, I smelt/noticed smoke from the front nearside caliper. That will need rebuilding before the MOT, might also explain the slight loss of power. Its hard to gauge the power thing, because compared to my NA car its quicker, but compared to my TT car, its slower. My TT car has had things done to it, so really I need someone used to a stock car to drive it :lol: Very happy with the car bearing in mind its been sitting for 10 years, when the engine swap happens, I have new timing belt and all other gubbins to do while the engine is out, so when it goes back in, it will be perfect! Anyway here are some pictures and I even got a rare shot of all three cars together(ish), the wifes TT did photo-bomb though....!

I want to know which Lego kit it is...

I think we need to organise a european club trip next year to meet up with our european zed cousins! :thumbup:

So after a lot of fiddling, changing pipes and various other components, I have soved the problem! the car now revs as normal! For anyone out there that has the same problem...make sure your intercoller is piped up properly :blushing: Mine has two pipes on either side and top left goes to bottom right and bottom left goes to top right, once I swapped two pipes around the car worked fine. I guess because one turbo was trying to force air into the exit of the other. Having never had an after market intercooler before and not getting paperwork/installation manual with it, I do feel a bit stupid! :lol: Anyway car is working now, I have decided to leave everything alone in the engine bay as it all seems to work for the moment and crack on with the other jobs to get it through an MOT. Bumper has been trimmed and attached, indicators attached. The fog lights fit, but have nothing to attach to, so some form of bracket will be needed. Interior is fine for the moment, boot lid needs replacing or a spoiler attached and the bootlid brake light fitting. Tyres need a bit more air and the brakes are really rusty. Not sure if they will clean up with a drive or will need replacing, but that is Tuesdays job!

If we lost an England/Japan final, I would be sad but not too much! Sent from some app that I don't know how to use!
