popcorn popcorn popcorn!!!

This is a repost guys. Been discussed before.

Looks Sexy!!!

Of course mate, anytime. I'll be at the Bluewater meet tonight if I get my ass in gear. You anywhere near there?

Won't be there tonight mate (as you've probably guessed by now ) blue water is a bit of a drive but I don't mind doing it.

Let me know if you need some muscle at shows . My fees are reasonable.

Passenger ride?

Rob, can you PM me the amount you quoted Lee for this? Just trying to get an idea of numbers in my head. Thanks Mate.

That has the potential to be a really nice example. No ideas whos it is though

I'd have come along I'd I knew free passenger rides were being offered . Anyone get any good pics. Supposed to be a large number of cars attending?

a tasty looking pint mate

Haha, mmm Guinness

Looks like a sort of Do-Luck Copy to me

Question is; did you paint the door frame?

Looks great Johnny!!! Seems to be a common theme to have 'GTR' at the end of the plate .

I've seen 2 round my way that are 'X123 GTR' and yesterday there was 'X77 GTR'

I probably would have one too if I had a GTR

Keep the updates coming.

2 1/2 years later... this thread, shes back

For some reason I thought that the light on the wall was part of a BGW

Take a pic with it on the car Steve. May be easier to photoshop that way. (I'm assuming you have the car back and the spark plug cover though )

Wasn't it Ibrar's car that had that done?

Don't forget the dentist on the 3rd of October or the scary exorcist lady will get you lol.

EXACTLY the same thing that popped into my head when I opened the pic haha

I had a rattling before it was the 2nd Cat casing on mine...so i fitted a 2nd decat. Failing that as H said I'd look at Engine mounts

As above really.

Love the DJG Supras. A friend in the UK had one before but our poor weather doesn't do the colour any justice. A nice Sunny place is a great home for this car.

RX-7 looks tasty already. May I compliment you and your team on a VERY tidy ICE install

Fitz, I didn't take it as an attack at all. If explaining the voltage of fully-charged batteries is a sales pitch, then I am totally guilty. The link in my signature was to the OPTIMA Pinterest account. We don't sell anything there, we basically share a bunch of cool car pictures, but it does let folks know I am a representative of the company.

 

I have also come across posters who sign up for an account and subtly mention their business, but I like to think I was very clear in letting folks know that I do work for OPTIMA Batteries, Inc. and as such, the information I am providing regarding proper battery care and maintenance is from a credible source. That way, when Drew_flux erroneously suggests our batteries need a “high current charger to give it a big bump to start charging,” Yakky agrees and I then post contradictory information, folks know they can either disregard the advice of those mkivsupranet veterans or take it, in spite of the fact that an official representative from the company says it isn't true.

 

I don't know the first and last names of anyone else who participated in this thread, where they work or what association they may or may not have with any products they have endorsed in this thread or others, but I do know many other companies do have employees who participate on forums anonymously and endorse their own products without revealing they have any affiliation. You won't see that from anyone associated with our company and while I understand some boards require payment from businesses who want to promote their products, my primary purpose on forums is to serve in a pro-active capacity for customer service. We print our toll-free number and customer service e-mail address on every battery we sell, but we also understand some of our customers may choose to ask questions about our products on forums such as this one. We want to make sure the advice they are receiving is accurate.

 

I don't even disagree with Lbm's suggestion that there are many fine brands to look at, but I do want to provide useful information for folks who are considering other brands- look for chargers that are microprocessor-controlled and offer specific settings for AGM batteries. That does eliminate many units, but leaves quite a few to choose from.

 

The fact is, we've been monitoring this board for years. If we were going to do something spammy, we would've done it by now. The only other time we've ever participated in a thread here was last year, when we cautioned users that batteries mounted inside of cars need to be properly-vented to the outside air. That entire post was deleted, which is unfortunate, given how often I see batteries mounted incorrectly and the fact that the fumes batteries do vent in extreme situations are both toxic and flammable.

I've been asked by the moderators not to say what my job title is or where I work.

good post mate. Understand where you're coming from now.

May have to check out these cool cars you speak of.
