    Anyone else try the Chaplin? Mines all gone now, missus actually couldn't wait for me to get rid of it.
  5. I dunno why, I've always thought s14s were disgusting rice rockets, but I'd love a go in one.
  6. I dunno about anyone else, but I love driving a car I know I've built. I fit into both parts of the argument here, silly low cars with big wheels and cars with bucket loads spent on them to make them faster. My daily car is a passat estate, lowered 120mm front an 110mm back, on 8.5/9.5 wide wheels, an I love it. I love the way it looks, handles and drives. I love the scene, turn upto a meet with 10 cars or 100 cars, the atmospheres always the same. There's tremendous respect for.everyones cars as people know how much work an effort it is to keep their cars looking good. 100% of time, any trouble at meets is by some scroat in a standard m3 too who think he's a drift hero, that's what gives meets a bad name. Then I have my mini, I must be 5 figures into that car now an have no regrets at all. I get in it, start it up, harness myself in an gingerly drive the first 3-4 miles for it to warm, then I give it hell. I know that car inside an out, I love the fact I know every bolt on that car. For the money I could have bought an m3/Audi s3/probably a bottom end boxster, But I know I wouldn't get the same buzz I do driving that. I completely understand people don't have the space, time, knowledge, interest or patience to modify cars and want bang for buck in there Porsche dealer. But I'd much rather destroy them for 30seconds before my headgasket fails .
  7. Yeah, trawl eBay for a second hand bumper? Probably cheaper if you could get one an then get it painted.
  8. I think you'd be looking at around 300-400 ish dude. There's a lot of work in repairing plastics. Most bodyshops I know won't even paint a pre prepped panel for less then 100..

    Awesome, but technically invalid! I'm to the point of length control now, it was getting on my tits so its been tamed!
  10. Swarfega do an oil remover we've used at home before an its the nuts
  11. I wouldn't be looking at t4s for £1500, they've got such a following at the minute its rediculous how expensive they are. Even an old space travelled plasters van fetches £1200+. It's mental. Can't say I've heard much bad press on the Renault traffic/vaux vivaro range of vans. Prepare yourself for the tax an insurance thou!
  12. Lol, my mum took one of the work vans through a puddle about 1/1.5ft deep an hydrolocked it, bent rod an generally shafted! Was even funnier when we got there to try an recover it an she was practically in a resevoiur as it didn't stop raining
  13. Thought you'd have chickened out an onto winters by now Dan!
  14. Now you mention it I can, can't believe I missed it before. How much does the a3 weigh now then dude? Is it still bearing its battle scars?
  15. Awesome Nick, what's she weigh now?
  16. It's supposedly coming in December 21st isn't it?
  17. http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5038972-Some-hawt-ladiez-next-to-my-slammed-CRX-(if-you-like-Integra-Girl-read-this-thread)&p=67759407&viewfull=1 Best gif ever on page 2.
  18. Ep3 civic type r owners amongst us, what genuine mpg figures fo you get pootling around town?
  19. I've seen that happen to a astra van before, quite scary to be honest. Just ran at mad rpm till it starved itself of oil, sounded awful.

    So far this month 5 people have said I look like Mario, 1 couple have moved in the pub because my tash was 'creepy' an I've got 3 nods from fellow mo bros. Lol.
  21. 3" harnesses are loaaaadsmore comfy. I found 2" harnesses dug in around my collar bone before I felt like I was supported.
  22. I'll have a gander tomorow what it costs us to mix. Don't think it'll be too expensive as its not a pearl.
