  3. Cheers dude iv been wanting to pass the test for a few years, iv recently managed to get the time in the country and gone for it its a bit long winded now with writen then CBT part one and two and its due to change again in a couple of years. Good luck to you mate lol im just going cheap and chearfull early as i know il end up sending it down the road at some point so dont want to spend too much on one even if i get crash bungs somthing will scrape lol
  4. lol was thinking moor of running away on foot from my overweight friend PMSL i know the T5 tops out about 145/50ish so i get 5mph over that lol i take it the T6 has a higher top end then lol? as for the evo FQ i know the boys in blue uprate the cars etc but god you weigh them down with loads of crap lol iv seen police interceptors PMSL all those gadgets and safety equipment add time to your 0-60 even with upgrades to power (good show though lol) lol its not worth my job or my licence by runing from the boys in blue but its nice to know if i can get in front by launching i could stay there lol might have to try it on a track some time
  5. lol as above now iv got to find myself a nice 600 lol any ideas guys iv got my eye on a oldish thundercat going cheap be a decent first big bike i think any moor ideas would be welcom lol the mnissus tried talking me into a R6 on sunday lolthink she's found my life insurance policy lol
  6. cheers BigBird i know their are a few boys in blue on here think im still gona have to aproach the "get to doctors" scenario lol the only good thing is i can probably out run them lol
  7. hmmmm think im gona have to aproach the person and tell them to go to doctors as i know if i got a fine they wouldnt pay it either so id be out of pocket doing a favour hard thing to do but when needs must would be nice if their were any policemen would give a idea as to where th driver would stand in this position as i know my friend has loads of Taxie rides and they dont say anything they just leave them be (probably put a couple of quid on the fair lol)
  8. thanks for the replies guys i must say that its a problem where with the seat fully back the belt will not fit round them and into the ckip and i dont mean comfortably i mean it wo9nt go far enough full stop its a hard subject as its a family member and no one is prepared to say owt but i think someone may have to i.e. mei dont personaly give them a lift but iv recently been put in the predicament where i had to give them a lift and this came up i dont know if "sorry oficer but it physicxally doesnt fit" would work as a defence then i understand it would get a ticket etc (i think points as well)
  9. Hi Guys got a quick question on seat belts without being nasty i have a friend who can not get a seatbelt around them due to their size where does the driver stand legaly if stopped by Police, does any one know? any info would be gladley recieved although probably not by the person in question when i challenge them them/refuse to give them a lift
  10. i had two or three sensors all blow at once scoob (96 UK Turbo) ran very badly overfueling then died and wouldnt start turned out the ECU had blown due to two certain sensors blowing of wich i were MAF and Temp also i had o2 sensor go as well 22B Andy sorted this for me but it had him baffled for a good couple of weeks as he only replaced one sensor at a time didnt know how many sensors had gone due to no faults on the ECU Hope it all goes well guys
  11. Signed as well its just a way of making wrongly prosecuted people accept it and keep their mouths shut due to a large bill even if they win
  12. well obviously i wont be able to get around soon if this kind of thing makes it to fruition so i wont be able to get to work therfor i wont be able to pay taxes and only sit on my backside on benefits and if everyone is like me then how can you pay a national debt when you cant move to get to work electric cars what a laugh the logistics required to make then dispose of the batterys far outweigh the advantages of the car in the first place then i look at where the elctricity comes from mmmmmmm power station which is fueled by ???? yep they did their research their didnt they i dont see my taxes for fuel etc going into replanting the lungs of the earth i.e. trees etc be it in this country or one where we are cutting them down at a great rate of notts just seems to me my taxes for greener envoironment seem to go on "fact finding holidays sorry trips" and M.P.'s expences where does this money go? rant over lol anyone for joining my party might run myself you never know lol

  14. i baught some GT spec II headers from him had great comms couldnt apologise enough for customs holding up the imported headers and kept me informed daily of what was happening when headers arived they were tip top never had any probs what so ever with them very inmpressed realy
  15. iv just had to get a spare key for my 04 sti i got a spare of ebay £10 got a new blade (nissan blank fits even the locksmith couldnt get original subaru blank) then got a realy good auto electrician to code it £35 he had to delete all the recorded keys in the memory then place the two that i had got into the memory two previouse had tried to just add the key and it wouldnt take or the guys siad for £50 i couold have a after market key and codeing depends weather or not you want a subaru branded key hope this helps
  16. Hi Guys well i thaught id leave some feedback on the wheel geometry at TSL today their was too much toe and camber on both front wheels and too much camber (serious) on one of the rear Great couple of hours their very friendly couldnt do enough for me and as on previouse ocasions still as professional as the first time i went in 2002 lol right having had all the geo set i can tell you i have noticed the following and they were to be expected from the machanic that set up the car steering was lighter and easyer (felt closer to my old classic) the car no longer follows rutts on the road free wheeling is alot easyer (not that i do free wheel but iv tried everything on the way home lol) doesnt creak and moan when pulling up at traffic lights handles like a different car when cornering ABS doesnt kick in on a sprited (not pushing lol just spirited) run when breaking it seemed to kick in too early lol although i nearly need another 2 tyres now due to the old two having been worn away on the edge i think all thew tyre and handling probs are probably sorted todayt just from the geo A big thanks and chuck up to the guys at TSL very enjoyable fornoon
