    Video: MR2 Prat

    I'm guessing from his user profile that his name night be Allan and it is perceived that he's a bit of a cocksucker!!! http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=stedzuk What a tool though, at least he's stupid enough to incriminate himself and will hopefully be looking at a stretch for this, I wonder if he's got a license, insurance or anything else for that matter. It looks like he was videoing that himself too. What a tard.
  3. Mind if I stick these on the Aristo forums with a link here as some people there may be interested?

    Suspension Setup

    Not done this yet but not driven the Aristo much of late. Any other suggestions, maybe a little closer to hand than Watford, for getting my suspension set up properly for fast road use? Any guidance on price would also be cool. Cheers guys.
  5. Another victim of Stealth Systems here Had my exhaust for my Aristo built by PMCC which I am very happy with, they don't use pipe benders, they fabricate the systems by hand using mandrel bends. They also knocked up the IC pipework for my dump valve. http://clubaristo.co.uk/forum/files/dumpvalve_155.jpg There is also the other exhaust place out in Southampton, the powerflow place or was it long life, I can't remember, but they should also be able to do the job.
  6. Aristo all the way!!! The perfect family car replacement for a Supra nut Good luck with your sale.
  7. There are more pics of this car in my garage, I was very sad to sell it but needed to upgrade to the Aristo to transport the kids too. Good luck with the sale Marc, back to Scoobies then mate.

    Suspension Setup

    Not sure if they do anything apart from standard servicing so I'll be suprised if they do have facilities to do suspension geometry and alignment and all that. I'll give them a call though as I have their number and hadn't actually thought about them. Edit: Just called them - they're closed to the 23rd, was hoping to get it done over the weekend. If nothing else crops up then I will have to give them a call back on Monday to see if they can help.

    Suspension Setup

    Ideally I'd like to get it all done at the same time so everything is dialled in correctly. Any garage suggestions?

    Suspension Setup

    I definately need to get my suspensions setup looked at, the car does not feel right at all at the moment, I also need to get it raised up a little but don't have any C-Spanners either. It's running on JIC FLT Coilovers at the moment with quite a large drop, keep grounding out! Can anyone recomend anywhere in Hampshire, close to the Portsmouth area preferably, that will be able to cope with setting up my Aristo correctly? Cheers guys
  11. DRC 11T is up for grabs too, Dr Clit I nearly bought B19 BHP not so long back, it was up on national numbers for just over a grand, picked up M666 BHP instead.
  12. I've actually just done my CBT with a view to doing Direct Access in a couple of months time. In the interim though I am looking at getting a Hyosung Comet as mentioned above, just to run around on and get used to viewing things from a bikers perspective rather than a car drivers. £108 a year to insure, £15 a year to tax Hyosung Comet Reviews It's big enough too so that at 6ft+ I'm not going to look like a circus bear on a push bike.
  13. There's a couple here in your price challenge bracket if you're still looking
  14. GReddy Boost Limit Cut Controller - Brand new in box. Surplus to requirements. GReddy Boost Cut Controllers (BCC) allows the factory ECU limiters (or "fuel cut" at full throttle) to be eliminated electronically, by wiring the unit directly into the factory ECU harness. The one I've got for sale is the same as this one All yours for the sum of £70.00 inclusive of P&P.
  15. Great news Bet you can't wait to get back behind the wheel!

    Just watched it an all - cracking stuff. Fantastic battle scenes with great cinematography and music score. Well enjoyed
  17. Sick of it, but will they get voted out, I thought they were gone for definate last time but they're still here. I work with a bloke from Nigeria and he thought that I was joking when I was talking about this today, he just couldn't get his head around it. When I informed him how much out of every pound spent on fuel was tax he was gobsmacked. It just does not make sense to people that haven't been so whipped into paying extortionate amounts of tax for feck all services that it's become the norm. He was suprised that no one has kicked off about it and the public hasn't banded together to do something about it. It won't happen will it, people are all very good at complaining vocally, but when it comes to doing anything about it they just sit back, get the vaseline out, lube up and say well I've taken that because I have to. The whole thing in this country stinks to high heaven. There is no accountability for goverment spending, projects that go vastly over budget and then get canned like the CSA computer system, air trafic control schemes etc etc etc... have to be funded from somewhere. EMP expenses have to be paid by someone. Bah!

    Smart cars

    This is the one you want

    Smart cars

    I used to have a Smart Car. I used to well knock them as well until I had a play in one. Running costs they are dead cheap. It used to cost me £12.00 to fill it up and that would be good for a full week+ of commuting from Portsmouth to Farnham. I used to get about 55mpg out of it, and that's driving it flat out everywhere. If you drove it with a light foot then you can see much more than that, 65+, I'd never seen that much though. With the limiter in place they will sit at 83mph in sixth gear doing about 1.1k rpm, very ecconomical cars. The switchable 6 speed sequential box can be a bit funny if you drive it full auto as it can get a bit confused/slow through the gear change, drive it in semi-auto sequential mode and get used to it and you can get the thing going pretty well. Left hand drive isn't really an issue, it doesn't feel like you're driving a left hooker to be honest. Getting it chipped makes quite a bit of difference to the auto gerachange makes it alot smoother, as well as removing the limiter at the same time. Bailey do a dumpvalve kit on it which always used to put a smile on my face. All the little chavvy kids round my way used to laugh at the car until they heard the dump valve, then they were all like 'mister has that got a turbo' etc... It's also suprising how much you can get in them. I remember seeing the face of a Volvo driver just drop when I came out of B&Q with a brand new petrol mower, all boxed up. He looked at me then eyed up the car and you could see him thinking 'no chance pal'. That was when I just opened up the passenger door and slotted the thing into the cockpit sideways, the look on his face was priceless. When you open the doors you're opening up pretty much the entire side of the car. Options wise they usually come with ABS, twin airbags, semi-auto sequential 6 speed box, Air con, CD etc... I was quite impressed with the amount of kit that it had with it when you look at the price and size of the thing.
