    Need to get my NCT done, and see a couple of spots out in Naas soon, does anyone know if the car fails and a retest is needed, does it have to be the same centre?

    Spent half an hour on the NCT site waiting for a spot to pop up, and got one in greenhills instead. Way better.

    Well there are plenty of cheap thrills out there anyway. :)
    If you can go with out the luxury side of things, one of the 90's Jap 1.6's will be much cheaper and still a great car.

    Just don't buy a diesel. :p

    Ah **** news man. Would you consider selling the RNS510? I'll have to see if I could pull together the money, but if I could, would you be willing? And you'd get my RCD300 to put in.

    vulture! have you no heart ? :p

    You sure about that?

    I done my test in Fonthill and my retest in Nenagh.

    Followed up with another test in Fonthill once I went passed the 3 months to go mark.

    All within the space of 8 weeks. Could have gotten luck but nobody passed any remarks

    Sorry to hear that golly.

    I got tge race car up and running on friday, the new engine sounds sweet. My elation was cut short on saturday thanks to woring issue. The car developed a miss and after investigation one of the injectors was getting a constant ground meanong it was on the entire time. So myself and Joe Power are making a new loom for the engine tonight :)

    Today in work I was doing an order up and realised I was wicked stressed over the car, then I realised there are far worsethings I could be stressed out over

    What you do is have the lip of the spoiler along the line of the boot so it's flush with no over or under-bite.

    Right lads, need a bit of advice

    The gtv appears to be fine mechanically after the mechanic checked it out but I've murdered the bodywork due to ****e carparks

    Spend the 800 my mechanics tame bodywork person has quoted and keep it or sell it on?
