It's just one step too far down the ladder for me in terms of being a bellend. I looked into it once, it doesn't pay very well unless you're the one running the operation.

I hate watching Jeremy Kyle and listening to thicko council estate dwellers say "he textes/texted me." ITS f**kING TEXT YOU c**ts.

Far left, blonde one.

I very much doubt it, I think green tea is about as worldly as I can get. The PT at my gym was ranting at me that I probably drink a pint of fatty milk a day in my tea and I had to drink green tea. Then he spewed out a load of bullshit about all these amazing benefits. Anyway. About a week ago I bought a box, been drinking it all week. I really like the taste now, it's lovely.

Sometimes, I wonder what the f**k I was thinking. She was a f**king monster. Literally one of the most retarded things I've ever done (in both senses.) Apparently she was quite good looking before she put on 20 stone. -
I saw a car crash about 50 yards down the road from work the other day, elderly woman in a Fiat Panda, 56 plate off the top of my head. Legged it down the road, opened the door for the old lady, asked her if she was alright, sat her down on a bench a few yards up the road. "I'm fine, I really am. Thank you so much for your help." (She's crashed into a post, no other cars involved.) "I saw you come from the Fiat dealers, you ran straight down the road. You can't be one of the salesman!" "Well actually madam I am; here's a Fiat Panda brochure and my card I picked up on the way. The new ones got side and curtain airbags as a factory fit option and a very clever supplementary safety system called smart city brake control which was designed specifically to prevent little mishaps like this!" I'm such a fanny. *I say the other day, that's a total lie. It was at the start of September.

I cannot put into words how much it annoys me that women claim not to know that 99% of male friends just want to f**k them. They just don't get it, and you tell them "Umm, I became your friend because I wanted to f**k you. That's how I know how this works. Because I'm a man. So this is what we do." Then they get all upset like they haven't got a phone book full of ex-boyfriends they only keep in contact with in case they need to get f**ked at the drop of a hat. Or am I just bitter and over generalizing? We've all had a girlfriend like that at some point. *I only say this because my ex and current girlfriends entire male circle of friends have been made up of friends that they've f**ked on and off over the years but insist they're only friends now. -
Because green tea. It's f**king great.

Please don't order 4 point harnesses Greg. You need the 6th straps to keep the buckle low really, and 4 points don't hold you in place very well.

Sunday innit! And why do we do all this shit to our cars? So we can go hang out with our mates and enjoy it. So I did. Nice wonky exhaust. Prawns got more pictures and videos and things. Good fun. Here she is with a bit of blurb and a write up in this months VW Driver after Curby. Just ordered a pair of Silver Project adjustable top mounts, debating some 034 subframe mounts. Got all afternoon Thursday with the workshop to myself, so I will absolutely have the DS3000's fitted then, the oil changed and hopefully I will fit the top mounts then too if they turn up but we'll see. I also ordered a Turbogauge, which seems like quite a cool bit of data logging equipment and it stores 300 hours of driving data.

On the subject of... Has these been posted here yet? The guy went on to wreck a McLaren which had just had a huge performance upgrade pack applied, the owner had hired McLaren to be there on the day to oversee setup of the car at great expense.
-
In all seriousness though, after bitching about them the other day I bought those DS3000's off Bill (the tuner who was telling me to basically stfu), ended up getting them off him for £140 when everywhere else they are £200+. So in future if you do want some speak to Bill @ Badger 5 because for some reason he does them super cheap.
-
Probably mine. He never USED to moan on at me constantly.
-
Look at Rich's last 10 posts. 8 of them bitching at me, one about him breaking a go pro and one about his launch control being a fuel cut rev limit. He's turning into a miserable old man.
-
f**k me Rich, maybe we should box you up and send you to Dan for some cleaning. Because all you're injecting into this thread recently is misery. Stop being so miserable, you used to be a right legend. Always happy, chatting about cars and blah blah blah but now you've always got an "I told you so" moan on. Cheer up dude!

Today I bought some DS3000 race pads, 10w60 Millers CFS "race" oil (5L) and a new filter. Dropping the oil on Thursday ready for Dony, fitting the pads at the same time and also replacing the bottom ball joints as they're f**ked. I cannot believe how quickly my S3 is progressing and transforming, but f**k me it hasn't been cheap! The worst bit is I won't ever see a penny of the £1000 I've spent this month alone back. Then there was £80 on the alternator at the start of the month, £30 on a belt kit, £25 for the header tank The month before that £420 in tires. The month before that it was £400 on the clutch kit, and £100 on service items. I've managed to some how squander over £2000 in three months on the b*****d thing.

I'd have taken you up on that, but unfortunately there was no visible degree in that last picture you posted so I'm not sure you're actually Dan.

How much are you going to do mine for? Also. http://youtu.be/GMo_ZMC95-o Things I have noticed in the 80 miles of thrashing I've done today. I think it feels quicker. Which is probably largely psychological, but I have certainly removed 65kg's from the car in the front seats (accounting for adding the new ones) and 20 kg's from the rears. That's putting my power to weight figure (starting from 1420kg's) to somewhere about 216bhp/ton. That's not going to have made a he effect on how the car feels when you plant the throttle. But what it has done is almost transformed the way the car feels from turning the wheel to exiting a corner. It has had a great effect on braking. As I've said though the main thing is the way the car feels, much more purposeful and really rather cool. With that in mind I spent some money on her today, seeing as she is going to get a beating in a couple of weekends time. And she appeared in this months VW Driver! Now that I know my steering wheel is the right size, I've ordered a replacement in higher quality. My poly is here, and I've ordered a new engine and gearbox mount to fill. I've also ordered an OBD2 data logger and diagnostic tool. I'm working in some sort of way to bring the gear lever up slightly to bring it closer to the wheel because if I'm honest it feels a little odd. Then I hoovered it to death and really cleaned up the inside, I mocked up some rear panels in plastic but after consultation decided that I would keep the rear cards because they make the fit and finish nice.

I haven't lost any races to Prawn. Every time I've actually raced him I've had a faster car...In a straight line. *if you don't count that time at Castle Combe when he only had 190bhp. **if you don't count that time he was faster than me at Curby.

I'll have a badass Porsche one day. And when I do. I'll come race you
-
Still saving, I decided if I got a Porsche or not I would still want a toy to play with whilst I saved. The S owes me very little money, so why not enjoy it for a year or so until I can afford a Porsche and have somewhere to keep it.

I removed this. I shoved a hose pipe in the pipe and undid the bottom radiator hose. I left it for 5 minutes. Then realised I hadn't turned it on, so I turned it on and left it another 5 minutes. Then I fitted this. And filled it up with a healthy G12 mix in prep for winter. Then I cobbled together a battery box with parts George sent me. I also replaced almost every jubilee clip in the engine bay. Then I took this picture. And now I'm waiting for some 85 shore pourable polyurethane to be delivered to I can solidify my engine mounts.

Craig looks like a goat. As usual.

Happy about that! Nick was happy. I've really got to thank Nick, his precision drilling (lol), engineering thought and above average know how made this all really easy. I got to the workshop about half past 6, when Nick turned up at quarter to I had the drivers seat out and that was about it. Nick set about stripping the seat down to it's base. With the seat stripped to the base Nick measured loads of things and ran around using a tape measure in an odd manner, with like two inches of the start of the tape not being used. Very odd. Then Nick put a seat on my bonnet without my noticing, and when I discovered I was furious and nearly killed him. Nick mounted the seats to the subframes, I fitted the harnesses, hoovered out the car and removed the passenger seat. Nick then gave me one completed seat which I fitted, adjusted and fed through the harnesses. Then he gave me another seat and I did the same. Then we enjoyed sitting in the new seats. Then I drove it home at 10. So three hours work to fit two buckets, adapt subframes, remove belts and fit 6 points. They're great. :thumb: I say the standard seats EASILY weigh 50kg's a piece. The unused bracketry, seatbelts, nuts, bolts, wiring, plastics and rubbish I removed from the car is likely a further 10kg's. New seats I would say weigh about 15kg's. (I'm fairly accurate with weight guessing after working in a very posh bike shop for years) If we averaged it out at about a 65kg weight saving, I'm happy with that. And the car feels totally different to drive now, I'm much happier throwing it around with some seating stability. All in all a job well done, and thank you very much Prawn.
