ajay - to do the rear main oil seal, its the same as doing the clutch + a little bit more:D thought id keep it simple!

as Big Roy recommended, madasafish was a good reliable fast service, i used these before going broadband - also virgin was good.

Pipex adsl broadband. £23 per month & its damn fast!! (compared to my old dial up modem) :D

nice one!! see the events forum for details on kent meet - its in a pub just outside Canterbury. i got a stage 2 rps clutch but the centre plate came through with the friction material damaged so im still waiting for a replacement, im hoping it will be here & in by the weekend tho. see ya there

because sick, evil bastards like that dont deserve the right to live, if they have taken a life, what right do they have to carry on living?? so what do we do - lock them up for life?? whats the point? thats not living anyway? lock them up for 20yrs then let them out - what if they do it again?? if someone done that to my family id kill them myself - no probs - no regrets about thinking like that. not having a pop at you glen - thats just my way of thinking, your entitled to yours.

yeah timmy, pick on someone your own size - I heard mr muscle is cruising for a bruising!! lol!! :D

LOL!! just after i got mine i had a RS turbo wanting some!! i cruised past him & a few other cars, matey in rs over takes too & is right up my arse at a roundabout joining dual carrigeway, looks in the mirror sees a couple of herberts laughing & nodding to each other. ok then floored it & by the time i rechecked my mirror, he was just a little speck!! lol!! when will they ever learn? just cant wait to get me new clutch & lightwieght flywheel in now as I think id have probs burning up a nova at the mo!!!! as soon as the turbo twins kick in, the revs blast round to red line but im going nowhere!! :rolleyes:

why has a cat shit under the repair????????? :D

no probs here either :rolleyes: must be you mark!! lol!

most on here use Optimax. shell's own Super (duper!) unleaded:D as for mpg, I think of it as fpg - fun per gallon!!!!:D

well, the one with 100k miles & no service history id avoid like the plauge!! the uk car with 75k sounds VERY cheap, but with fsh could be a bargain - just get a good inspection done on it how many miles on the jap one?? many imports have no s/h. as for colour - its what YOU like that matters, cant advise you on that!!! ;) what ever one you go for, have it inspected & take it for a good long road test, motorway/fast a roads & round town if poss. watch for excessive smoking from the exhausts, carry out a ecu diag to check for any faults etc. its easy to look past all the faults on these and get carried away & buy one, look carefully!! it could be costly to put right. it took me months of looking to get the right one.

john - i can usually get a good deal on wheels & tyres, OZ wheels are nice & can deffo get discount on these - let me know or chat to you about it next week :)

jeesh, dont think i could kill anything on the roads at the mo with my clutch slipping so bad. didnt really need to post this - just got fed up seeing timmy's name as the last post on every forum!! :p

well mrs c's prob coming along. ps you cant post on the other forums unless youve subscribed (see the sticky post at the top of this forum)

if you fancy a bit of a run down to kent next sunday, a few of us are meeting up: Kent meet

look at it this way: if the insurance company stump up for new ic's & turbos - you may as well get some uprated ones!!!!! :)

Jeffs on this board, in the traders section (zedword). deffo worth getting the bits from Courtesy, esp if your gonna be replacing a lot of parts (delivery costs make it not worthwhile if your only getting a few cheap bits) if your having the cambelt replaced, many replace the water pump & a few other bits & bobs at the same time, Courtesy do a kit: Timing belt kit, check your year & model. they are extremely helpful, & will save you a lot of money (plus you'll prob get the bits quicker than if you ordered here in the uk!!) hth

who was that masked man??????????? timmy, the mild mannered janitor???? cooooouuuuld beeeeeee!!!! lol!! :D

its ok Gio me old mate, i agree, i just posted without reading it all :o

or blow up your engine!!!! just get here on the 3rd!!

duh............ sorry, missed the bit in your post about a crushed hose. :rolleyes:

about time!!!!!! does this mean you'll deffo be at our Kent meet then Wazza??

id check to see if either if your intercoolers have been damaged behind the bumper. is it running ok off boost & at idle?? hope it gets fixed soon

try insurance factory £540 fully comp for me with my ncb protected too.

ok, good clean UK manual TT's = hard to come by it seems (tho I got one :D ) & its not gonna happen for £5k, paid £7k for mine on a L reg Imports are more abundant it would seem, and usually a little cheaper, although the insurance on these is more and the majority of insurance co's wont even touch them imports also available without turbos (na) if you so wish, and normally have a few mods on as soon as they come into the country. DONT EVER ask whether manual boxes are better than autos on this place!!!! :rolleyes: starts sooooooooooo many arguments lol!!! I suggest you hang around this place for a while to get a feel for these things, they arnt cheap to run (as you'll find out!) but are a great car. ps you cant post in all the sections till you subscribe.
