I was just searching for some almera brakes on ebay. ebay had other things in mind

 

[pollyp]

lol prob cos u been looking at car pron with all those luvly clean brakes n stuff

 

[skymera]

So I got one of those GPS speedo apps for my phone to really see how far my speedo is really off!

Well, 60MPH on my speedo is actually 52mph! and 70mph is actually about 60odd!

So all the time I sit at "60" on the motorway I've actually been doing 52mph

Do you know what? I actually love driving slow.
My average speed on the M4 home today was 44mph....

 

[MicrAde]

I used one of them too skymera cos my sports steering wheel in the k10 obscured most of the speedo HUD works well, especially at night

 

[karlj]

Out of curiosity who is the lowest on here?

Do you mean who's lower than a Chihuahua's ballsack or who has the lowest car? lol

 

[karlj]

The lowest car

 

[skymera]

Just bought myself this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261171967277

A K10 style grill from an early K11

Doug will know why

 

[karlj]

I have the same style grill on my super s

 

[skymera]

I have the same grill on my super s

After balls-ing up an open mouth grill my car is grill-less. I've always preferred the square type to open mouth anyway so it was an excuse to buy one!

I'll paint it black temporarily to next pay day where I'll put a few coats of TJ4 from here
http://www.1aautoparts.co.uk/client/index.php?action=prod_detail&cat_id=78&subcat_id=328&prod_id=650

The only place I'm aware of that does an accurate TJ4 in spray form.

 

[karlj]

The squarer grill looks better standard

 

[skymera]

Aye, this will be left standard, just painted.

I've no stone shield either so without a grill the whole front of my car is open!

For what they are, grills are expensive

[SirChris]

what are you doing then mate. getting rid of all the micras or what? and the yaris? or keeping charlie

 

[karlj]

Vibe is going, yaris is gone and Charlie may be staying but I have until June to decide

 

[SirChris]

would you sell her whole

 

[karlj]

She doesn't have a hole

 

[karlj]

If she goes she's being turned into a tin cube, I've been through to much with her to let someone else have her now

 

[AJC]

Applied for an apprenticeship as a Body repair technician, at 35, good luck to me

 

[karlj]

Good luck AJC, I've got an interview as a commercial sales rep apprentice on Tuesday (I'm 24)

 

[AJC]

Good luck mate, just goes to show we are never to old to to start anew, lol at least us older people are more likely to turn up in the morning

 

[karlj]

That's the main reason I was offered the apprenticeship, apparently the only people that end up in commercial sales is the older (near retirement) person, not only that but they want someone willing to commit 5-10 years which for me isn't difficult, I've been doing my current job for almost 7

 

[AJC]

I am happy to commit 10 plus years, god i will be 45 then lol, fingers crossed for ya for tues mate

 

[karlj]

Cheers my fingers are crossed

New girlfriend? Possibly the only thing in your life that's going to be a bigger financial drain than your car.

Gratz on doing well in exams though

Didn't say well, said "ok" . Difference.. I can't let that get me down. However there is something that I'd like to share with you tonight. As, of about ten minutes ago, is march first. You may or may not know that March first is Self Injury awareness day. I myself have had a lot of experience with SI, both friends, and whatever. This isn't easy for me to write, but I know it may help in the long run.
All I ask of you, the MSC forum users, is to remember that although It's used as a way of getting attention or whatever most of the time, there is that 30% of people who actually suffer. It's estimated that 1/6 teens self harm. If you could tell one person, just one person, that march first is Self injury awareness day, I will be very grateful. I will not be posting things like this often, I just need your support. Thank you for taking your time reading this, it wasn't easy writing it. Thank you. -Max

 

[karlj]

Can anyone tell me what this is

I only as cause the vibe doesn't have one

 

[Belly93]

from the end of the head that the vac pipes go through?

 

[karlj]

I thought it was in the block passenger side, but yeah vac lines go to it

 

[Belly93]

i know what you mean and im not sure mine doesnt hae one but i removed 2 heads at a scrappy from prefacelifts and only one had it, maybe a one way valve? goes from mani to carbon canister iirc?

 

[frank]

aye, its the purge valve eh, to burn the vapours from the canister once its warm enough

 

[karlj]

For the life of me I can't remember what it plugged into, I removed the vac lines from Charlie and now can't remember where they go and cause the vibe doesn't have one I'm wondering what it actually does

 

[karlj]

aye, its the purge valve eh, to burn the vapours from the canister once its warm enough

So it's not needed?

 

[frank]

So it's not needed?

if you have no evap system ? then no mate

 

[karlj]

I removed the carbon canister so no I don't have an evap system

 

[Harlen]

My neighbor just took delivery of his brand new Nissan Juke Nismo today, first thing he did was call me over to have a look! Legend!

Absolutely beautiful car, I've definitely been turned onto the Juke.

 

[Belly93]

[frank]
