Yeahh FIILLLMMMMSS ;) :lol:

yes....films ;)

just played Assassins Creed I got free with the graphics card, it is epic, graphics are nuts, and smooth as hell :D
also played Operation Flashpoint too, the graphics are amazing on that too :D


in other news, my mate is going to put 25mm and 30mm 5x100>5x112 adapters on his Bora, but I am wanting 20mm's on the front ideally, so he has suggested to me if he gets 20mm and 30mm adapters, then I give him my 25mm for his 20mm's (from same company, so will be studded)

WOOP WOOP :D I can't bloody wait, gonna be 3weeks, but I get smaller fronts :love:

BIG(ish) Update!

So I have always wanted a weekend car, and might be in the position to insure one soon enough.

This car is going no where, its my commuter, and for that, it is perfect!

The car was going standard over winter, as I ain't going no where the way it is if it snows like it did lol.

But might keep it standard after that....... :ban: ;)

I get to free up some cash in coilovers, wheels, adapters and engine spacers etc.

And I can save in the meanwhile and get something fun (and then I can finally take it to the Nurburgring)

Am I getting too old?

God knows, but it is decided :)

I kinda have idea's of what I want, but time to make it materialise :D
Wish me luck people, new world lmao

Does sound like you are getting old mate. But Ive been thinking the same thing recently.

Im tempted to get myself a weekend toy and use the mk2 as a daily/commuter. I may wait until after my holiday is over and take things from there.

Ive been looking at EK Civic Type R's. :ban:

TBH don't mind if I am getting old, I would rather have an awesome weekend car, and a crappy daily, then an awesome daily and no weekend car lol.

Ok cars, prefer the EK9's over the EP3 ones ;)

Do it, I can't wait for something fun tbh :love:

Blooming eck, i weighed up this option, was going to get a bora and a mk1 track slag, but insuring two cars at 21 is nowt an option, also wanted something that was quick as so got my LCR. Was getting annoyed with my brother and his scooby. Why not an vr6 converted mk2 golf or something?

tbh I don't think it will be VAG, you have to throw ALOT of money to make them handle well, I could get some cars that handle so much better out the box, could use money for better handling (tyres etc, so would be crazy handling)

It's gonna happen, just what I get isn't 100% finalised, I have some mates with some awesome track weapons that wanna sell to get bigger better, so this could be a potential choice, again insurance lol

Surely the simple answer to the insurance stuff is don't insure the track car?

Obviously then you'd have to trailer it around, so maybe buy a trailer and shove a towbar on the daily?

But that wouldn't really work if you wanted a weekend car for the roads...

Yes blanco, I wanna drive it around, and drive it to The Ring :)

Also you tried towing anything, I wouldn't be able to on a lowered car, so will have to go standard anyway.

Kinda looking forward to standard again, smooth ride will be fun ;)

Not paying the money EK9's are going for ;)

Like PS13 200sx's and Trueno AE86's too.

I gotta find the medium between power, handling, price and insurance.

Might of found a good thing that may fit the bill :)
Need to do some digging now ;)

Thanks derek, no rush dude

See something else I would need (more to read about)

And i'dneed to get a trailer, and store it somewhere, then car will not have insurance, so if damaged = f**ked lol

And i'd like to take it to work every Friday, as its half day fridays, would be well fun

Thanks al, me neither tbh, gonna be awesome :D
