Thanks for the comments :)

Josh

[mayfair86]

yeah, i get ya. Thats what im all about, being different, the spoiler isnt going to do anything to the handling because the car wont be able to go fast enough to have any affect lol but it was free so i aint complaining lol. Really excited about getting it on the road now :P

Cant wait

Josh

p.s. its being picked up today to have the work done one it, wont be long now :P

[Andy]

sounds good Josh..pops away like mad lol

so when will it be finished?

[mayfair86]

well, its on the road now, all insured, MoT'd taxed etc, passed the MoT without a problem, however ive been driving it arround and the when it gets warm its starts running really bad and its cut out on me a few times now because of it, ive decided not to use it until its sorted because its just frankly embarasing lol

i was driving home the other day and i could only put my foot on the throttle very slightly, it i put it on just a lil more it would start stuttering, its now sitting back down the drive again, its got new plugs, new dizzy cap, rotor arm and contacts and now it just wont start, it just makes really loud pops, ive ordered some new High performance HT leads because it looks like the ones it has on it atm are from a '97 MPI mini and ive ordered a new sports coil, but i think its to do with the carb :(

really annoyed, however it is so much fun when it is going, its soooo loud, ive set 3 car alarms off with it now lol :P

hehe

[mayfair86]

cheers man, its soo fustrating having it all done and then not being able to drive it

hopefully not too much longer now

[Pulsar Dave]

love this car

[mayfair86]

cheers m8, I love the pulsars, they sound soooo nice :P and look really mean too

[VR6-Joe]

Duude, you know Owen Williams and Luke Dalby don't ya?

[mayfair86]

i do indeed lol i presume you know them too

[VR6-Joe]

Went to school with both of them! How comes you know them?

[mayfair86]

well i know owen through college, went to col with him last yr and i sort of know luke through owen lool

[Pulsar Dave]

function of my pulsar with the looks of your mini....how rad would that be!!!!!!
lol 300brake mini...would be savage!

[mayfair86]

yh cor would be emmense, the one very breif time when the mini was working properly it flew, even tho its got less than 38bhp, 300 would be lunacy....I love it lets do it haha

[markeyturbo]

10/10 for effort

spoiler not to my taste but good luck :)

[mayfair86]
