TOST - The Official Spam Thread

I'm a member of many other car related FB groups and none are like the MSC one.
It's childish.

I got tired of hearing stories of Micra's hitting mach 2.0, 0-60 times to rival that of a drag car and pics of exhaust flames bigger than the bomb on Hiroshima.
Oh I agree, the rule set on the latest "my micra does 140mph and its a 1.3 small mods" was unless you can prove your mods, digital gps speedo not innaccurate micra speedo and also prove its off the public road.. posts will be removed

The speed claims soon stopped :)

You missed Curtis' post from 10th October ;)
 
Was at Brands Hatch Sunday watching the BSB.

Got some videos uploaded.
They're only 1080p not 4k :) (Change from 360p to 1080p!)

Much fast. And these were just the 600s! I never got any close vids of the supersport 1000s

 
After sanding back the sills we're not sure they're worth saving
bloody sunroof
In need of some replacements, anyone know where to get them? :)
 
What sort of money would I expect to pay for a bare bones cg13? I.e. no manis, no throttle, no alt, PS pump brackets etc.....

I would love to import one from the UK if money allowed but would like the to know what sort of money they go for first before posting a thread. Considering to get it wrapped up and sent over I'd be looking at 100 for shipping to Ireland before even buying the engine

£50 around here (if you can find one), but unknown history tho (untested)
crank and rods are another option eh :)
 
I though the crank and rods are line bored so they only suit the block they're being fit to?

Not to mention you can't forget the all important cams to go with :p

all engine blocks and heads are line bored eh, the only difference is CG cranks were assembled with selected/graded shells, so ideally the shells need to be kept in order and suit only the crank that they were fitted to.
you can assemble a sound engine if you have enough shells to select from :)

Ah right I don't know why, I was just under the impression the crank had to stay with a Specific block. If its anything like the sr20 the block and crank have two codes which you can use to determine what grade shells you need. Something along the lines of adding them or something, can't recall. Have all the tools here to measure the block and crank anyway (bore gauges, micrometer, plastigauge) but if i was to go to that trouble then I'd be as well to buy new shells and new rings and suddenly costs are shooting way up

I have the knowledge and ability just not the funds to allow such, in an ideal world I'd do a full high comp NA built cg13..... But that's in an ideal world lol

Strange question, but bored and having a play.
Can't find anywhere that'll do Super Turbo insurance, because according to @mas12555 they're all registered as GSX's.
Anyone in the UK with an ST shed some light on this maybe?

"Doesn't work mate all super turbos are imports an don't carry the super turbo name. Most will carry the gsx name. It's like the starlet turbos are not classed at starlet turbos on the log book. Seen some import 4 door skyline which are nissan bluebirds on the logbook" -Mas12555

If it's registered as a GSX, then it doesn't matter what badges it has, it's technically a GSX, therefore it has to be insured as one...?

It'll still have different engine number and details on the dvla system :)

A super turbo that I done reg checked...
 
And 1.4's are so far off 1400 they're called CGA3's not CG14's


But yeah, I wonder if @Magpie42 could shed some light on this, iirc he works in insurance :p
I don't see what the issue is?

Import Scoobs are registered as Sport non-turbos when they most certainly do...

You insure it how it's registered, surely?

So you're telling me I could LEGALLY insure a super turbo as a GSX .. For £1,669.

Why the *** did I buy a 205
 
Na not worth it. Just get a new fast car. Getting parts for those cars would be the biggest issue
Assuming that it's correct I could insure one as a GSX
There's no way in hell I could insure anything remotely as fast as a Super Turbo for the same money :p
 
yeah you dont listen. now deal with the fact ur car costs more to repair and run than my turbo. still more powar doe, could still buy it max.... buy the battle **** max
