  1. Yea, its new territory for me, although i did used to run our old Part-Box website. I just never had any dealings with anything else other than orders and listing items.
  2. Cheers for the suggestions guys. I am toying with the idea at the moment, but i literally have no idea where to start and what costs are involved. Will check out those sites, may well pick your brains at some point Johnny!
  3. Would love a bike, but i doubt my other half would be impressed! lol
  4. As above, has anyone done this before? Looking at doing something along the lines of a webstore, but i dont know a thing about building / desigining a site, or even whats involved with owning my own website address.... Can anyone shed any light for an absolute noob? lol
  5. I wish I had gotten to the point where i could drive the Talbot to know if i was going to make it to my destination.... lol It had gear crunching problems, so we changed the Clutch, Clutch Cable, Gearbox Oil etc etc and still no joy. Ended up costing £1k in a Gearbox rebuild...! Put the box back in all ok. No I cant get 5th or Reverse becuase of a worn linkage that now needs attention. I then Stalled it when running through the gears on the drive the other week, turned the key and "Click" thought the gearbox had locked up as it was stuck in gear, turned out to be a stupid earth strap problem. Fixed that and then manage to snap off what was left of a rotten metal coolant pipe that goes into the head... Its discontinued now so I had to modify the coolant system slightly in order to make it work. I also changed the headlamps as they were full of water and deteriorated inside. Guess what? the lights wont work properly.... See why i am begining to hate it so much? lol
  6. Alongside the Supra, I have my E36 Compact that i have been using to drift in. Thats my daily lol Family purposes, I have a Nissan Cubic, (7 seater Nissan Cube) plus a Talbot Express Campervan. Supra and Talbot are off the road for work so dont have too much choice on what i daily drive
  7. Odd title I guess, but does anyone else have another Car / Vehicle / Project they love & hate at the same time? Me and the Wife decided a few months back that we were going to break our Camper Van cherry and leapt in feet first. We bought a 1987 Talbot Express Camper Van. It still had a little MOT at the time and only covered about 76,000 miles. It needed a little TLC, but now every time I touch it, something else goes wrong almost straight away..... I hate it, I hate working on it and has even come to dub the thing "Ugly Betty" as its the ugliest car on the Driveway lol However, I absolutely cant wait to go out on long weekends in it, just to get away from the daily grind.... Anyone else have a similar experience...? lol
  8. The kinda stuff Tax Disc holders were made from? Try Dave at DMB Graphics, he has been more than helpful with my recent odd requests lol
  9. No major updates at the moment, but some parts arrived today so never a bad thing, http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160823/368755fe84626181e311b22cd1dbfda5.jpg Lightweight Flywheel, ARP Flywheel Bolts, TRS adjustable tow strap and some Exhaust heat wrap and ties for the manifold... Only missing a Clutch, Exhaust, Clutch Hose and Gearbox now so big progress update coming soon.....
  10. Just go for it! lol I did with mine and even though it has spent more time off the road then on it (Because of constant modifications) I still want to use it at every given opportunity, even when the Throttle Body Conversion is done lol
  11. Thanks! Nothing to update on yet i'm afraid,
  12. White Wheels also look great against Red Cars. Bit of a love hate thing owning White wheels, hate them when they get dirty, love them when they are clean lol
  13. Nice, Didnt realise you were at the Niss Show, i was there in our Nissan Cube on the Owners Club stand Great turnout on the GTR35 side
  14. Bought these a couple of weeks ago, didn't like the look so now for sale... £10 for the pair, posted or collected, no offers. To suit US size 12x6" Number Plates only.
  15. Will be making an effort on this to try and keep the Engine temps down, so as i have a spare roll of reflective heat Tape kicking about, i thought i would line the Exhaust side Valve cover just enough to keep some of the Manifolds heat at bay. I will be covering the branches of the ITB Manifold in the same stuff and running a Thermal barrier Gasket between it and the head too and then once I get my decats, I will be wrapping them and the Manifold in some heat wrap too. Just ordered some Magnecor 8.5mm leads too, so should see them in a week or so. Also thinking of removing the Viscous Fan and wiring a big slimline fan in there but using the OEM cowling too. Has anyone done this before? did it work ok?
  16. They can be re used. However, you must use a stretch gauge to ensure they are still safe to use.
  17. As per the title, looking for a nice Oil filler Cap that isnt the OEM Plastic one. Not looking to spend a fortune, posted is a must also. PM Price and image, let me know what you got
  18. I have both sets available from stock if needed, let me know.
  19. Can I have an image of the Oil Catch tank please?
  20. Yea, i have a spare set in the shed i think lol
