Its better with Pics...

Cracking write up and pics there, really nice article! just bought it and had a read over a coffee! Nice one! Imy, theres and end in sight! cant go on much longer!!! then its time to RELAX!!!!!!

ooh, so thats TG AND EVO that I need to get out and buy today!!!! Nice one!

Ooooh that's lucky I logged in just before going back to the boat... as were laid up in port with the weather... Sky+ set! Cheers Grant!

there's not normally a reserve in such sales I thought Neil...?

Yep, with the guys here, GET THE SPOILER!!!!

So most of the cars were crap then... pity... Does make me wonder what happened to all the "good" stock... I wonder if he somehow managed to write it all off, or sell it to himself for mega cheap... but did anyone get any pics of the black one on the ramps... the one that we thought was the type-R...

Hi and welcome... Nice looking car, I'm also not keen on the tail lights, but each to their own I guess... Also the front lights, You can get Crystal headlights and sidelights to match the bonnet... might just tidy it up a little... Oh, and i see that you are thinking about putting a turbo on next year, you might be better off buying a turbo car instead, as it will be pretty expensive to fit a turbo to a sport, by the time that you add all the other bits on to the car, as its not just the turbo, you need to add intercooler, allt eh pipework, complete new exhaust (mebby not the whole thing - depends on what you got fitted), and is the MAF and all the wiring the same? also can the Sports internals handle the extra power? Just a few things that it would be a good idea to think about, especially when Scoobs are getting cheaper all the time...

I'm keeping one of the 2 on, and will probably take the second off, possibly frame that, possibly... and probably fit the second one there...

Nice buy Des!

Wow, seems pretty major, and to an extent, I kinda agree (without reading the MLR thread and knowing everything thats been said) that often its easier to leave such things with one man, so theres no confusion... but then you shouldn't be able to get into that situation, as really they should be checking the books periodically... that said, if it was down to the one guy, even if they did a check every now and then, if he was determined - which he sounded like he was, he could have fixed the books, and the guys would never have known even if they did check... Quite a sucky situation...

The yellow one almost looks like a mk1 Golf... Think Ive been on the mind-bending drugs again... Think I need to get off this boat...

Why is that the only time you work on the car!!!????!!! Glad you got the car sorted out loon!!!

Yeah that would probably be the best thing to get the paint code and have them done to that... To be honest, I think that there might be others that will do the job for you, but theres only really those 2 you know about already that folk tend to recommend regularly... I think that I've heard more people mention Finnese...

Now come one John!!!! ive been called tastless before! - and for very good reasons... But to say I would EVER prefer a ford.... Eh.... NAW....

Eeeeehhhhh naw.... Looks OK I suppose, but ive never been a fanboi of any vans really... with the odd exception... Looks OK mind, just not my personal taste that's all...

DEAR GOD!!!! treat your car to the non stop express to oblivion... I dont know, but how can a non turbo car be... laggy... most odd... also these people seem to have no concept of how a supercharger works... I mean, how does it work, swithc it on and it just fires the extra air in there??? wow... really otherwise... I'm justr lost for word on this one... really... I mean... just look at the Ts & Cs, my guess is that when it all goes horribly wrong (Which is certain) you are obviously incompetent, they will test it, and would find nothing wrong, you would then have to shell out an inordinate amount of the readies for them to test it... ITS A TRAP I TELL YE'S!!!!!

Ive bought one on ebay in the past, and you know what, useless... Better finding one to download (At least its free!)... I'm sure that someone should be on with a link for you mate...

Yeah that blows... they cant pass on that kind of footage to the organisers... bit if a waste of so much footage then...

Now thats something that I wasn't sure about and I think that you kinda answered my question there, its only basic ecu stuff that it can handle... now, this is something, I might have thought that it would have been capable of doing anything, as the system is Win XP based...? I guess its a lot down to ports also...? but then also, I know that you are running press pretty abnormal programs (being that most of is wouldn't touch that stuff...) that the normal driver like me wouldn't have much use for... But yeah, the backup, and the tidyness of the system is one of the things that draws me to it... and the price tag is not THAT unreasonable considering that you can buy a lot less for more money...

Aye but looking at the system that I posted the link to... it only takes 3 seconds to boot... I'm sure that my head unit takes longer than that! Horses for corses of course, the way you are doing it, you get the features you want, and it will probably be cheaper than the off-the-shelf unit...

Oh it has been up elsewhere... thought that I might have seen links to other sites... but yeah, What would be a good price for a motor like this? being that the prices have dropped so much recently....

Deffo with Colzo there, best are the smoked lights...

Leceister = not that close...
