  1. Don't know if the price is good, but I used to love the s9b with the 1 stage VTEC! Works a treat in my opinion.

    Cheers lads! Will get myself to japfest 2 then if it's ok! Really wouldn't say it's as bad as what your describing luke. I flipping love driving it, ain't had it step out on me yet. I had a mk2 turbo before and never had any bad moments in that one either, yea you can't drive them fast at all in the wet but dry conditions there an awesome car! If I'm being honest I get a bit of under steer if anything but that was with the old tyres, new ones hold the corners good. Love it!!

    Cheers lads. Yea the first guy was a major douchebag, but kinda glad I waited or wouldn't of got this one. One of the reasons I got it cheap is because mots this month and the cambelt has never been changed and it's clicked up 102,000 miles.... Not been driving it much but hopefully get it sorted this weekend. It's so nice to drive, for stock suspension it corners lovely. Plans for it, single exit exhaust, hsd coilovers, brakes, and really any other small bits this year and get it running good. And an intake kit. Hopefully gonna see if it's ok to bring it to japfest on the stand. Il park it in the corner or something.

    Back again, this time with my mr2. Was meant to get a rev 5 in a rare blue cosmos for £2100 2 weeks back, waited a week to go see it cause that's when the guy come back off holiday so was really excited to go see it, Friday finally come and went to go see it. We got there and the car wasn't there, called the guy and said be there in 5 mins. So he finally arrives after having it washed and honestly, the car was nothing like the photos, rotted cills, fine scratches all over the car, couple of dents and bumps. Complete waste of my time and the guy was a massive d**k head, when I left he started texting me threatening messages for not but his heap of junk. Anyways was a bit dissapointed so back on eBay and found this one at £2500, thought it's worth a go. Got there and it was mint, no rust, no dents and no scratches. So offered him £2000 and got it. So here it is. Needs mot this month and cambelt doing ASAP. Needed all new tyres so decided to get new rims. So here it is with the new shoes on Not the best photos but hey ho. There 17x8 rota torques in gunmetal. Looks amazing in life but photos ain't the best, peons the stupid iPhone! Anyways hope you all like! Next stage is intake, coilovers, exhaust.
  6. Sounds awesome man! Loved it when that happened! Race driver!
  7. Sold!! Went to a good guy, he's also got an aerodeck too! Told him to get signed up on here. Anyways picking my new car up this Friday coming, can't flipping wait. It's the exact one I wanted. Il put a new build thread next Friday.
  8. Hopefully got a buyer coming on Saturday. You know what these eBay dreamers are like but guy seems genuine.
  9. Had a turbo mr2 last time. Was very quick, but a lot of hassle. Had a lot of things go wrong with it. But I'm going for probs a very clean 99 n/a one and then the turbos just bolt on to them so do that. And make sure everything's done right. When I get it il stick it up on the forum. Never leave this forum, you guys are just to nice
  10. Il make sure it goes to a very nice home and direct him on here.

  12. Hope that's better for you nick, if not let me know what else you need adding. Cheers man
  13. Cheers lads, probs stick it up on the bay later this week.
  14. I agree, would probs make more but I don't want to split it, I want somebody to buy it and enjoy it as much as I have. I had an mr2 a while back and I really really want one again.
  15. So thinking of selling up, It's just done 91,000 miles, got 6 months tax, 6 months mot. I'm thinking about £1500?? Is that a fair price? It's got skunk2 intake manifold, K&N filter, 5zigen exhaust mani, buddy club centre section with spoon n1 back box. It's on Meisters, done about 4000 miles on them, got rota grid wheels. And it's got recaro seats. Let me know what you guys think if that's a fair price. Don't really want to split it.
  16. Glad there's no problem man! Was worried there was gonna be no convoy. Those wheels tho!!! Boom! Hopefully you'll get that front bumper sorted soon.
  17. I'm guessing he's done a b18 engine swap, painted the block gold, and a wire tuck in the engine bay.
  18. Ignition trick doesn't work. It's brute force man. Just gotta do it
  19. Cheers nick, will post pics up once done.
  20. So you have a socket that slots through your tool onto the nut?? If so you really have to jump on the damn thing to get it off, bearing in mind that nut is probably on at 500newton torque things.
  21. So yea, that is one awesome tool you made, I bought mine off eBay, the point of that tool is too hold that nut then you need a socket that will slip inside that onto a nut and then a couple of extensions onto a wart get and then a 4 foot scaffold tube over the handle of the ratchet and it should pop of then. The point of that tool is to hold the pulley while you undo the nut inside it.
  22. What compounding polish do I buy? There's so many polishs! And cheers nick, do I wet the sand paper?
  23. Ok, so been refurbishing my white wheels, decided to keep them white, I've done 2 already but, I've got a couple of runs of lacquer on them and it's kind of bugging me. Any one have any ideas of what I should do to get rid of them, what would I rub them down with and then is it just simply put on another coat of lacquer?? Help please. Thanks
