    I don't think it has. Yes it's changed but I still think it's good.

    I liked all of it. Had a good laugh. THIS POST IS 100% PERSONAL OPINION AND IS IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM A FACT. IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ME THEN THAT'S FINE, BUT DON'T MOAN AT ME ABOUT MY OPINION.

    I'm gonna ask the garage to try one of their power tools when I take it in for the suspension. They offered to lend me some tools so I could do the suspension at home so I don't wee why they'd say no. And I would do it at home, but I value my fingers too much. If the compression tools breaks when I'm taking the trumpets and knuckle joints out I'd lose some fingers. His face fell off. :(

    I woulda won easily had the game not screwed up and made me pit twice within a lap of each other with no way to stop it. Did it to a fair few of us. :( So much for waiting 5 laps before pitting after it stops raining! It didn't even say pitting on the pit button so there was no way to stop it or know that it was going to pit. :(

    Well all of my parts came! Although nothing at all went to plan. I broke a rather large, strong 12" monkey wrench compressing the suspension to get the old bits out. According to my brother it's because I went into hulk mode when doing it. He's bigger and stronger than me but he couldn't turn the big nut when I could. :lol: So I broke the wrench which resulted in it hitting the rocker cover and me falling flat on my arse. I think I'm going to pay to have it done at a garage as I injured myself doing the safe easy bit. The next part was where you can lose fingers or eyes if the compression tool breaks. I also broke my new screwdriver trying to get a bolt from the radiator bracket with the socket attachment on it. The bolt is pretty damn corroded and it's the wrong size for the hole... So all in all I broke my 2 most expensive tools, fell over and accomplished nothing in an entire day. =D Still love it though, awesome little it. E: Oh, it also starts first time in -7C within a second or two after it's not been started for days which is pretty damn good to say it's which the thick oil. It starts quicker than my dads car in the cold and that's over 20 years newer. :hmmm:

    That has nothing to do with it! No.
  14. Camel
    No it's not!

    You check the ones you want to refit and it'll do them half an hour before qualifying.

    Can't I stay for a couple of houses? :(

    Went to see my Grandma to see if they were okay or needed anything. Was snowing badly when I got there and I stayed for a couple of house. Main roads were covered in snow with abandoned cars. No such trouble for me although I did get a bit sideways a few times, very fun. :) Also made a snowCmfl.

    My uncle has one of these, or had, only seen him in his other car recently. It was awesome fun to be driven in, great handling and very quick. Sound good too. :)

    Great news. The absolute retard who last put the bottom hose on the radiator decided to do it the wrong way! So the hose clip screw points right at the bulkhead so it's almost impossible to get a screw driver onto it. He did this rather than making it so the screw pointed straight up to the bonnet between the bulkhead and the radiator. So my radiator is full of crap and doesn't work properly which means my car overheats rather quickly. And there's no way to fix it! Oh and I ripped my hand to shreds trying as the fan blades are rather sharp. All because of Rover in their infinite wisdom decided to remove the cooling system drain plugs from both the radiator and cylinder block. :rolleyes:

    Yea, still insured on that too. Drove it a couple of days ago for the first time in a few weeks and didn't like it at all! There's just no feeling to it.

    I'd stick to 50% and just Sunday.

    They're wider than stock though! Also managed to slide it all the way around a car park roundabout as the minibus driver from worked laughed. Had quite an angle too, was right fun. xD until the speed bumps broke my back even at less than 5mph. >.< Even in 2nd gear if I put my foot down in snow it just digs in and grips as if it's just a bit wet.

    :yay: My car runs awesomely now. Cleaned the air filter and it's stopped the rattling noise when I accelerate and it lets me actually accelerate. Now I can do 25mph in first gear easily and it's still in the power band. Before it sounded like it was going to blow up doing 10-15 in first. :lol: It also sounds like a car now when I'm driving it rather than a tractor. Much faster too which means my MPG will plummet. >.< Just waiting for my anti-freeze and the new thermostat to fix the cooling, it's not good at that at the moment. The oil seal kit and suspension parts will be coming at the same time too. It's also brilliant in the snow, I could do hill starts on steep hills where even some 4x4s were struggling to get up. :lol:

    Supra as your first car!? Nice one. I hope you have less problems with your dream car than I did with mine. :lol: I went to Halfrauds to get some primer, paint and lacquer but they only had the small cans in store which were quite expensive so I got them from a small local car parts shop. Also got some 1200 and 240 grit paper to sand my alloys down before painting them. So that's everything bought ready to do them. My K&N air filter cleaning kit came today and I bought some cooling system flush/cleaner and some leak sealer. Cleaning the air filter has made the world of difference to the power and sound of my car.

    I'm not sure what mine is like when driving, all I can hear is the engine inside. But when I gave it a few revs with a stick stood outside the car it sounded pretty nice. Didn't rev it up much either. Will get a video of it tomorrow if I remember. When idling with no choke it's really quiet in and out.
