Did you paypal it?

Had new tyres fitted the other day, now they rub on the front on slight lumps in the road.

 

[Forbez]

Oh yeah, does anyone know where i've put my brake caliper spreading kit??

 

[PhilW]

Break caliper spreading tool? Gay boy. Use two screwdrivers.


Rogers, does **** all really, PCV bypass with my catch tank will stop the oil in the pipework.

 

[rogers]

i took a trip to peter lloyd ralling and they have the rally battery box's there they look trick, think im gna reclocate my battery this week end!

 

[davidol]

yeah thats a trick mod can be alot of work though to do propperly matt and make it look good. Im your man when it comes to this, alot of soldering and ring terminals to get it sweet!

 

[davidol]

will fit them on the weekend after ive given the interior a going over and the seats a steam clean / leather clean and condition

 

[nickclem]

2 screwdrivers!! I gotta give my pads a good soaking with copper grease, they are squeaking, like a Teen Nun!

 

[davidol]

lol yeah they are the right ones tom! even says so on the packaging!

 

[Forbez]

They dont look like they've got push down fittings though.
It may just be the picture though.

 

[acidstrato]

lol i can see the push down fittings

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Mine should be here soon another 20quid bargain

 

[davidol]

whats next then daz? stop being gay and spend some money on the car!

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Nah mate. Currently putting some big bucks away already got a few grand since November! Well in the habit now. Been toying with the idea of bit of a martyn type car only faster. VX220 turbo, should have awesome straight line speed when mapped. 230bhp and 900kg. Just don't know if I could live a car with an interior so sparse!
What about you dude? LCR? Whens she going up for sale?

 

[davidol]

a guy that phil knows has made me an offer and im so tempted but i cant bring myself to do it too lol. I financed the car with an egg loan and if i get want i want for the car and pay off the loan it leaves me with 3.5k, although as i didnt work for over 2month i already owe 2.2k so this would leave me with hardly anything so you can see why its tempting to hang on to the car as its mine already if you know what i mean, and the job im in at the moment wont pay for an LCR, i have to be realistic, im waiting to hear back from sky as a trainee installer, decent money and more of a career possibility

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Yeah makes sense Dave. What was the offer? Spill..
