  1. I'm piling on a few pounds now as it is.....so I may be in the runnings for te harness challenge. I'm thinking about going back into doorman work again.
  2. Well, Grats to you Jim, Jake and Tony...... top 20.
  3. Imperial death march. Dun dun dun duuun dun dun duuun dun dun, Suprised that I've been thinking of this also??? As for the type R.... there are a LOT of ragged and abused examples out there, so don't go mad with the idea. Honda's reliability is questionable, but so are other companies. I've been doing my research on them and they go like stick for the first 100k.... then the engine tires somewhat. However, The VR6 will and always does suffer from heatsoak, it does have less turning ability than the type R, F/I kind of sorts this out. For me, the sound of the VR and its power is more than enou

    Ben, I thought I'd already overtook Tony lol Yea, build thread will be done. This means though that I'm going to have to scrape money from the nurburg fund to get it sorted.
  6. Porcshe, bentley... what do you do for a living? I've sen a caddy van in coventry sporting an R32 lump.... but I don't know how ir what he did. Tis possible I guess, but as you say, you need pointing in the right direction. I just thought my sighting would give you a possible yes to it being done.

    1st...whuuuuump into 2nd whuuBANG...bop bop bop bop bop bop HAZARDS on hard shoulder No power and severe vibration...for the 2 seconds it took me to turn off ignition on M'way lol. Glided to the hard shoulder with clutch depressed, engine off (yea it had already stopped turning). Yay...my streak for breaking my VR has still not given up. Im 99% sure sumthing inside the block has gone up the crapper like, THE TIMING SLIDE RAILS!!! Got it home and like I suspected from the 1st second that my hand darted for the harards and ignition, the guide rail toward the fron has snapped and the chain jumpe
  8. Sod all that expensive crud. Elbow grease and normal polishing is my boat...... I'm more like craggsy n jim though. Give it a wax once every 2 months when it's washed lol
  9. Fogs, headlamps, indicators,....... grill survived though and there are no marks on the front bumper......slam panel will be investigated tomorrow. Needless to say she claimed me at fault, told her to F off very loudly and angrily and snapped my finger toward her car...got reg, nae, ect, police want to se me tomoz....probs cus shes claimed summin daft like I threatened to kill her.... she was sat up my arse for the 2miles before this happened. Anyway. The trip is summin I wanted to do before the VR or the VR6oc. Might only do 1 lap though. Do again next year with a few more laps if I like it.
  10. Theres always the possibility of someone being involved in a crash or whatever even if the pushing of the cars is not hard. Today for instance....I've just had my first crash into the rear of some 30yr old bitch that decided to dive into my small braking gap without indicating, slamming her brakes on to compensate for the car infront being almost stationary and my ABS unit not working....SLAM....her fault...even though I went into her. With my luck of things anyway, I'm probably destined to have a crash even when stationary in the car park.....so ruining it for others isnt on my agenda. To be
  11. What is all this tape and paint you speak of....I know about needing headlight converters, but the rest is new to me?
  12. choo choo lol. I might take chris up on his offer....... I also might sleep for a few hours before setting off also. I'll see. Yea, someones going to have to hold my hand on this trip so I don't get lost or do summin silly. I go silly when I'm tired.
  13. My thoughts exactly......only I'll be drinking coffee as I'm gonna be tired from driving down so early
  14. It also happens to be a NOVA....I've had more than my fair share of dealing with broken chaved ones on the college course I did. Crap motors unless you stick a red top inside....even then, the engines the only good thing about it. £15,000 that can be spent elsewhere...like a v/low miler R32.... :S
  15. Sarah's a master at falling out the passenger side or a 205 gti and a 5dr VR lol
  16. I just realised that I'm off this weekend, but with the money issues atm, I still can't do it. I'm bummed about this now!!
