If tax disc says 4-13 i would not be too pushed taxing it until say 2nd week of may, wouldn't risk it after that tbh

CianRyan

Ah it'll be done by then.
The dyno day is the 27th and my insurance comes out monthly on the 28th so I just didn't fancy forking out another hundred quid on top of that a few days later.

Edit: I was replying to your post above about welfare... but I seem to have gone back in time and posted in reply to it before you posted it without trying...

CianRyan

Don't rub it in.

Someone one actually acknowledged one of my emails there the other day, there is hope! :eek:

I'm after a set of roof rails like this but I can't track them down anywhere.

It's an Almera FFS. Not worth being dyno'd. Spend the money on tax IMO.

Ronnie Beck

Insurance went down from 1100 to 600 euro yesterday. Passed the test a few weeks ago. Happy out with that.

On the bad side the van is off the road for a week or so due to an empty wallet. Failed the DOE today on perished front flexi hoses, a track rod end and some problem with the rear brake equalizer I've not figured out yet. Tester says it needs to be adjusted, hopefully code for WD and a belt of a hammer.

It doesn't matter how powerful the car is, I'd like to see how much it's lost or hasn't lost over the years.
It interests me and I'll spend my money how I like, thanks very much.

Afaik they were fitted to some JDM models which were sold in Ireland. Can't help you any more than that

Thanks, man.
To the scrappies then, I presume this will be a difficult find all the same.

I could be wrong but I do recall a jacked up JDM Almera model with them fitted.

Very rare tbh, lots of random jap stuff were kitted out the same

Got a text to say my new expansion tank arrived at home.

Should only take me an hour to swap it the weekend. And I'll be motoring again!

Had a google there, Pulsar SR-V and Lucino SR-V.



Hopefully the 5 door rails will fit the 3 door.

Toyotafanboi

You could probably have them adjusted to fit.

Glad my knowledge of shyte cars has finally proved useful

CianRyan

Knowledge of ****e cars is always welcome around here.

I quite like the Lucino version, the first one there.
A tuned SR20DET in that and you've got an ultimate sleeper, straight swap too!

I'm really getting my gears ground with donedeal links on the iPhone. When you click on the link, as you regularly would in the bangernomics thread, and the web page opens, but you also get the option up top to download or open the donedeal app. Now wouldn't you think if you clicked to open the app it would show you the ad in the app but nooooo, they just let it open on the home page. Like what fecking use is that to anyone???:mad::mad::mad:

Hmmm.... Seems I'll have to try a chain onto the back of the van if I can't find anything suitable!

When I was much younger I worked on a car that had ac. Naivety led me to believe that the previous owner of said car didn't mind it very well and that the aircon was probably knackered. Oh how foolish of me....

Was dismantling it and it exploded in my face, the force knocking me on my back. Shellshocked, I crawled away and staggered dazed to the back of my house. I watched as this gigantic cloud engulfed the Merc in a youghart like cloud of gas.

The bang left a ringing in my ears for days, I had to wear a patch on one eye for a similar amount of time. I thought I was blind in one eye

You can never outrun that sh*t!!!

Technically it's MCM's if he's paying taxes.

And where did the taxes I've paid go?
It's pretty stupid and quite arrogant to assume I've only ever been on welfare.

Take it to PM lads.
