Yup, car still hasn't been touched and won't be until next week

Why do I fooking bother eh?
I missed my slot because of a monkey of a friend and I now want to punch his lights in

I could have had another slot with Martin Hadland but after converstaions with Sarah and Steve at A1 Rallysport I got the positive impression it would be ready before TRAX

Ah well, anyone else want to kick me when I'm down??

 

What's the matter with the motor mate?

 

gutted for ya chap

 

I'll stick my keys down the side of it if you like???

Obviously this would be down to sheer jealousy because, although it might not be moving....................... its FOOKING GORGEOUS

 

No brakes they totally screwed

TRAX was gonna be the only show this year to be at in me car, why does this always have to happen to me?

If it were a 500bhp Cossie, it'd be fixed within hours PMSL, all that power and tuning just for people to look at it - what's the fucking point I ask??

Rolls and Mcpikie, cheers

 

Not always the case chap- although when i tell peeps what im doing with the xr, they seem to think i'm just a little mad!

 

I know people who go mad just to get cars tuned etc for being on stand space at a show, its NOT MOVING is it LOL

I mean going mad with cossies to get them all powered up just for show, its a show, not a TOTB session

 

lol- yeah, well that is very true-
i need 400 bhp so i can be on rsoc whatever at trax

 

Dont worry mate I'm in the same predicament. Had my car towed up to crawley for a close friend of mine to fix a head gasket, has turned into 2 cracked pistons and shot rings. This is only after 4000 miles after having it built by a repatable company. The same company that set the car up which is a 245 bhp motor without even a lambda sensor. I think they tested the air/fuel by smell.....

I'm sure this is what done it as wasn't ragged even slightly after that..


no trax for moi

 

Whats up with your brakes James?

are you going for a big conversion or is it just replacement parts need fitting?

 

Fuck me james you aint having a lot of luck with that motor of yours.

 

Gutted mate, thats a proper shame.

 

brake hose snapped cos of rubbing against strut, replaced it then caliper seized one side and bleed nipple broken other side

Having AP's up front and rear discs

Danny, shitter ain't it

Bob, Nathan, gutted isn't the word I'd be using

Anyone wanna give me a lift now to TRAX?

 

lol mate thats nothing, i was waiting 9 month then toke the car out! 4 days and engine went. Still waiting for new engine to be done now

 

James Some of the reason your car is not ready could be that steve has had a lot of problems with my car, he built the engine and put it in and there was a problem with it. so out comes the engine and complete strip again, this took up a lot of there time this week, so be easy on them,

Dave

 

Not blaming A1 at all Dave
Just everything goes wrong just when things start to look up
More frustration than anything else mate

 

James

I know how you feel

My set of monkeys are uesless - Can't wire up an Mike R's Flamer unit. . .

Still coming to Trax - Be great to meet up for an

LMK

 

Ming, A1 aren't monkeys at all, don't think that
They are one hell of a company and that's why I chose to take my car there

Speaking of Mike R's stuff, discussion arose about ACT gauges and how people wire them up wonr g and then say it only lit for 10 seconds then didnt work LOL

 

James, stop winging like a girl!

 

Karl, you supposed to use this smilie >>>>>>>>

 

Nightmare On the bonus side it's only Thurday, Traxs is Sunday isn't it?

Get yourself down there with some mates who are good with the spanners, and fit em yourself assuming you have the brakes

Plenty of time yet matey

 

I work all day Fridays literally 8am - 9pm

Useless with tools also, or I'd have not snapped the bloody bleed nipple in the first place that caused all this mess

 

Well, you must have a cold coming on or something?

If they said they would do it, and they genuinely have had plenty of time and the parts have been there, then they shouldn't mind to much you rescuing the car?

Have a ring round for a local garage, fitting brakes isn't specialist like most things on a RST? Not Quick Fit though, it would get animalised

 

I'm having an AP 330mm front upgrade with a rear disc conversion, not specialist????

The bells on the front have to be machines/modified as they won't sit under my MOMO's

I trust A1 to do a good job, I'll leave them to it

 

Fair enough, sounds a bit more tricky than a bolt on job! Best of luck getting it sorted in time
