  1. One would have hoped so but now they are moving on to Bashar al-Assad, I don't think any lessons have been learnt. Why is it down to us? We aren't here to baby sit the rest of the world and hold everyones hand through all of life's problems. Civil War is just that, a war between citizens of the same country. If they have a problem they should sort it out like we did back in the mid 1600's when the "Roundheads" and "Cavaliers" went to war. Of course we can progress, no one is saying you can't empathise or sympathise but since when were the worlds problems down to us to sort out? The UK should start looking closer to home if it wants to make changes for the better. If it is political or religious and overseas it is not our place to get involved imo. Of course I wouldn't ignore that and I haven't in the past. Don't get me wrong I totally understand where you are coming from but in this day in age don't we not just make things worse by interfering? Take Saddam Hussain & Osama Bin Laden, from our point of view murdering tyrants but by eliminating them we have just made thing worse not better. We have also managed put the UK firmly in the sites of a bunch of nutters who think we are all fair game because of what happened. We are getting involved in religions and fairly backward cultures* that we know very little about. In an ideal world there would be a balance of wealth and we wouldn't have the elderly and children starving to death while the rest of the world throws away tonnes of food on a daily basis. Again Western ideals being put on Eastern people, is that not what caused these problem in the first place. Where do we get off putting our ideals on other people, cultures and nations. We all evolve at different rates and in different ways, what is right for one nation is not necessarily right for another. * By backwards cultures I mean cultures that think stoning to death of women, raping of women, sex with both male and female children, death sentences for poultry crimes are all acceptable.
  2. As you say, hindsight is a wonderful thing. But there were signs of what was to come going as far back as the late 80's after the Soviet Union withdrew from Afghanistan. When ISIS/ISIL/Daesh were classed as too brutal for Osama Bin Laden people should have listened. I think if you have a dictator who has control over 80%-90% of all their domain then yes, leave them alone as long as it doesn't effect us. Why get involved in a Civil War? I understand the idea of protecting peoples freedom but disagree with our service men and women dying for what I believe is an unnecessary intervention. I know you have served and I understand your passion and tip my hat to you and all our service men and women for what they sacrifice. But I feel it was all unnecessary and our service men and women could have been put to better use. Granted what people face in the East is horrific but without wanting to sound harsh is that really our problem? I just wish the UK would stop being so bloody PC for once and concentrate on sorting things out at home before dabbling in others nations issues.
  3. Maybe you should look at producing your own kit Chris The old ERL kits do pop up on eBay from time to time if you want the old school no frills install. It looks like they have discontinued the most basic kit they did sell (HFS2-v3) that I bought which is a detuned version of the HFS3 system. I don't understand why Richard wants to make the kits so complicated and expensive to buy...
  4. Couldn't have put it better myself, spot on Chris. If these guys had been left alone you wouldn't have ISIS/ISIL doing what they are now. Idiots the lot of them, i'm waiting for the anti-abortion laws make a come back! I understood why he did but he should have never left.
  5. So you guys actually think this is a MK V rather than some sort of new Celica/GT86/MR2 concoction?
  6. Just pick up an Aquamist kit, that is what Chris fitted to mine
  7. Bet they love you, that looks like an unforgiving job. Are you going back to the stock colour?
  8. This is what I had, great for the price and plenty of upgrades available. Great to learn on - http://www.racing-cars.com/pp/Car_Showroom/Fusion_21.html
  9. I wonder how long it will be before it starts to crack.
  10. 3 days ago on a London bus. [video=youtube;Hpf_RPV-cZw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hpf_RPV-cZw
  11. You can get them smoked too, the guy is on eBay US but isn't particularly easy to deal with imo.
  12. Yeah think so, you said it was one of the cleanest cars you had up on your ramps. Is this one being parted out.
  13. You said you had a car due in to sell on that was clean, I wondered if these parts were from it.
  14. Old style wheels, known make, good sizes and offsets. I'd imagine £400
  15. Is this the car you have been waiting on to sell on?
  16. Might be worth looking into but iirc the RPS manifolds suffered with boost creep, also the design is quite old. If you wanted a similar sound you could go for the SP Racing F1 manifold if you can put up with the poor looking welds. If going down the single route I think I'd look into an SRD manifold with a billet collector http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?319512-SRD-Single-Turbo-Kit&p=4194538&viewfull=1#post4194538
  17. What is wrong with your cast manifold?
  18. No, his was an aerotop. You should know that as you sold it to him
  19. I tried doing that back when I joined and have tried doing intermittently over the years but have never received anything. I'll try again now, thanks.
