You're driving too quickly for someone that has recently passed his test. Also in a car with soft suspension.

Dad Car sounds great.

Loving the hazard light switch mod. I used to sell loads of them back when I was a young lad and E21s roamed the streets

It looks ALOT faster on film. I didnt exceed 50. James will back me up, I drive like a fucking fairy. Iv had the car at 60 but generally sit between 45- and 50 as the car isnt up to much more plus the roads dont allow it


As for the hazard light switch mod its such a pain in the cunt. I dont know how to fix it

[Speedtouch]

Do you ever play anything other than that Warhead tune?

Nice video Some nice driving roads up your way too by the look of it

Car sounds great

[verde]

Yeah some of em aint bad rob! Pretty scare with the car in its current state it must be said

[verde]

Could this be moved to the photo section please??

New shocks arrive and 60mm springs on their way, also got a new air filter. And thanks to the pure bitch today giving me a ticket tomorrow will involve fixing the wild over run - back fire issue and gun gumming the tits off the pipe

I also fell and broke the number plate so I put a new shiny one on. The anti roll bar has been painted, and the ARB bushes done aswell as the lower outer arm bushes. Dad also made some conical ones to go at the back of the ~ARB to act as ACME poly bushes and they really work well/ Its also on the E30s 15" BBS for the time being.

Much appreciated do we like the new plate position?

[gooner1]

Much appreciated do we like the new plate position?

No, it throws the look of the front entirely out of
sync, but that,s just my opinion.

Ive never liked it when the plate is moved from dead centre, reminds me of scrap.

Looked much better in the place it suppose to be

[verde]

Haha fair does folks. The problem with it being dead centre is that it bends the plate, and it looks wierd from the side. I like the sharp angles.

I like the off set

[Andyboy]

Much appreciated do we like the new plate position?

No, it looks shit.

[verde]

Serves me right for asking I guess

[ross_jsy]

Not overly keen on off centre plates unless it's something Jap or has a huge intercool we hanging out the middle. Maybe some spacers could make it sit better in the centre?

[rh306]

Much appreciated do we like the new plate position?

No, it looks shit.

[verde]

I like it Ross, I think it looks wierd sitting dead centre. Everyone else Iv spoken to prefers it. Its easy fixable if I change my mind, anyway im off to install my new shocks, hoping my springs arive too

[verde]

Today has been an absolute fucking disaster. After removing my rear suspension I realised the shocks Iv been sent are wrong, so im no longer able to go to jumanji nights tomorrow. Angry is not even the word. Toget KYB replacement shocks it will take up til the 21st of May. Unfortunately my MOT is on the 20th I also go a fucking defect notice because the local bint of a policeman thought my exhaust was blowing failing to realise its a perfectly legal straight pipe. So because I cannot drive to the MOT station I will now be receiving a 60 pound fine which I cant afford.

[gooner1]

Can you not put your original suspension back on, at least for the producer?

[verde]

Na man, it fell apart in our hands


Luckily we found out mk2 golf rear suspension is pretty much identical. So Il make Jumanji tomorrow AND I wont get nipped for not being able to make an MOT station

[verde]

So on the way back from jumanji nights my friend and I realised why running standard e21 bolts with e30 bbs and 5mm spacers on poor quality potted roads is a shit idea.

We found out at 70mph 150 miles from home. Noone was hurt and miraculously the car was completely fine. Luckily the only damage suffered was a disconnected hose that pissed washer fluid on the relay for the indicators.

We jacked the car up, stuck a steel back on and nursed it home at 45/50. Lesson learned, im studding the wheels. Wer very lucky to be alive and for that I am thankful. Id also like to say a big Fuck You to the Fife police force who did absolutely sod all to assist when they reluctantly decided to stop. And to the people behind me who saw my wheel fly off, 10 feet in the air then bounce 100m off the verge into a field, then witness me slide a football pitch on my front disk and didnt think to stop and check everyone was OK.

[macas]

Fook me mate!...glad your ok .

[macas]

At least you have won the "blue skys" cotm with that pic!!

[verde]

Hahah thanks man. Yeah luckily although over cast it was dry.....imagine how far i would have slid if it was wet, also, the ground would have been soggy as hell and theres no way we could have jacked up the car

[Nobby_N]

Lol great pic! i remember being young and wanting to go out in the car, nothing was going to stop me, even if when i tighten the nuts up one turn lol! Lucky boy matey

[verde]

haha, there was a fair few good turns but, obviously not enough. Was too busy rebuilding the rear suspension yesterday to properly check. priceless lesson learned

[retroboyo]

You're a tw@.....why'd you go and buy an even better base car than you already have?

Nice one fella, looks/sounds like it was a bit of a bargain really. Now just make sure you're sensible driving it about and don't slam it on it's arse.

Turned out to be good advice

[Speedtouch]

Phew, bit of a 'brown trousers' moment that, by the looks of it.
