  1. £250 to £300 was my quote range when Royal Fail scratched mine
  2. Strangely enough that's exactly what I used Great minds eh CW
  3. I had this on my VW 5 cylinder engine I rebuilt. Just as CW says I fashioned up an oil feed system that I plugged in to the oil pressure sensor hole. I gave it pressurised feed via compressed air (through a regulator) that pressurised an oil can that fed the galleries with oil. Primed the system and got it pressurised nicely
  4. To see the dead in your dream, forewarns that you are being influenced by negative people and are hanging around the wrong crowd. You may suffer material loss. This dream may also be a way for you to resolve your feelings with those who have passed on. To dream that you are with a prostitute, suggests that you are feeling sexually deprived/needy. Alternatively, you may be feeling that sexual relationships were more simple and straightforward. To dream that you are in a fun-filled nightclub, represents the social aspects of your life and your sense of belonging. The dream could be a commentary on your lifestyle. Perhaps you need to settle down a little. To dream that you are in a depressing nightclub, signifies an a financial crisis or and end to a love affair. To dream that you escape from jail or some place of confinement, signifies your need to escape from a restrictive situation or attitude. Alternatively, it suggests that you are refusing to face your problems. You are avoiding the situation, instead of confronting them. So, to sum up...... You're hanging around with the wrong crowd and not getting any action. You need to settle down and bin the Mrs (as she isn't giving you any anyway!!!)..... you need to escape her controlling clutches. Best bin her now eh?
  5. Does that mean its my second birthday too??? Wow, I feel like a queen the Queen
  6. I may have.... I'll take a look tomorrow.
  7. I expect that will be fine If its economy you want tho, but a Smart diesel
  8. Nope, the Supra wasn't made with an 18" but I'd hazard a guess its the same as a 17" recommended pressure
  9. That's my Focus mate, and the handling does deteriorate a bit, plus the suspension is now hard! 50 is the max tyre sidewall pressure rating. There's an increased risk of punctures, hopwever tyre wear is reduced! I wouldn't recommend it in a Supe at all! Stick to the manufacturer recommended maximum pressures only.
  10. Ideally you want to keep the engine speed low (lower friction) in the highest gear possible for the speed without lugging the engine down too much. In my diesel focus it will pull from 1000rpm but I only accelerate slowly while watching the fuel economy readout. I try to accelerate at above 40mpg if there's nobody behind me. Typically I change up at around 1500rpm which drops the revs in the next gear into the 1000 range. Accelerate slowly Anticipate slowing down and come off the throttle well before you have to slow down allowing the engine to brake the car (uses no fuel at all). Anticipate traffic lights so you reach a red light just as its turning green and the traffic that was stopped has accelerated to your speed when you reach it Don't brake unless you need to (brakes are just energy wasters), so this means keep your cornering speeds up. Once you reach a speed (around 50 is best for most cars) then stay at that speed and don't move the throttle. i.e. No accelerating and decelerating. When coming up to a hill keep the accelerator pedal in the same position and let the speed drop off, then as you reach the top and go down hill allow it to accelerate to your chosen speed then come right off the pedal. Accelerate downhill, not up hill.... if you need to accelerate! Keep tyre pressures high. I run mine at 50 psi Drafting behind trucks too close is dangerous! But there is a good benefit to be had at the legal 2 second gap too. Some hypermilers use EOC (Enginr Off Coasting). This is illegal and removes the power steering and braking. Not at all advisable! Coasting out of gear is not as bad as EOC but still not legal. See the ecomodder website for more info.
  11. http://www.ecomodder.com I get 78mpg out of my Focus on a long run! Yes, I'm a novice hypermiler
  12. Party round yours Ewen I take it we're all invited? And Blackie can be in charge of the 'entertainment'..... having seen his Karting thread pics
  13. Amen brother I'm on really good terms with the ex-wife. Discuss lots of stuff and often pop round for a cuppa. Even discuss her 'boyfriends'... which seems a bit odd But I do usually end up fixing something or fitting something in the house while I'm there lol
  14. Spent quality time talking to a very important person in my life
  15. Saw you going the other way on the A23 so spun around to catch up but there was too much traffic, think you went into a car park in the South terminal as I couldn't find you on the roads.
  16. How about 4WD???? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FIAT-PANDA-4x4-1987-SPARES-REPAIR-SILVER-BEDFORDSHIRE_W0QQitemZ190313149609QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item2c4f8c34a9&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A7%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 And stick a bigger engine in Or...

  17. They're FWD col but can be converted to RWD with a LOT of work.... Also the CVH engine is poo!
  18. Pug 205 1.4 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1993-Peugeot-205-1-4-Sceptre_W0QQitemZ200347177519QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item2ea59f522f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A7%7C66%3A4%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A2%7C294%3A200 Got a bit of a dent lol. Lightweight car with lots of race/tuning kit on the market. Or for the ultimate in lightweight, the Ax 1.4 Gt... IIRC they are around 700Kg with 85Hp http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1992-CITROEN-AX-1-4-GT-WHITE-V-Good-106-205-206_W0QQitemZ270404412296QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item3ef55be388&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A7%7C66%3A4%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A2%7C294%3A200
  19. Just as a word of warning before this thread degenerates.... Discussion of the BNP gaining 2 seats in the Euro elections is fine. Pro-racist discussion of their racist policies and people's own racist viewpoints will not be tolerated and will result in a ban. Clear enough? Thanks.
  20. I believe ya Eddybear Glad you're happy bud Comiserations about the car.
  21. My local place fitted mine yesterday with no issues at all (at least they didn't say they had broken them lol).
  22. Happy birthday mate In before its too late, but only just lol
  23. No Dingle references please I spend about 50% of my time on here... the rest at work. I get grief for it..... but then she don't handle like a Supra
