s**t thats harsh luck


dont wanna kick you in the downs, but its proably beacuse project daily cars are not a good idea lol

specially of this scale


like when i done my conversion i didnt have a job so nothing relied on it

[fezza89]

cant you get a train to work or something? not sure how much the tickets are these days

[russ-RST]

theres nuffin wrong with the car mate iv never struggled to pay for things to get it done johny i dont see anything wrong with doing what i have been doin everyone does it lol and theres alot more than what iv done going on to people's daily's

and i could but i dont have any money at all to get work and cant borrow any plus the train station is a freezing half a hour walk along dover seafront to my work so i dont fancy that lol

[jonyb4]

no the problem you've seemingly hit, is you've changed a reletively reliable car into a unrelaible one by fitting a cvh turbo, which unluckily has run into a few problems such as snapped nuts and bolts or gasket failures and the like

thats why its good to have acess to another car while taking on a project such as that, with me i can get a lift to work in such a case, well for a certain amount of time, then id be like you in a bit of a s**t streak


can you not get a run around on short notice? make it too your next pay where you can pay to sort it?

[fezza89]

its times like this when you find out who your true friends are, ive had mates let me down in the past

[frst toady]

jony u seem to have completly missied the point of what russ has said..
theres nothing wrong with his motor its the cash wot it cost to get to work in the first place to earn the money to keep it on the road....

[jonyb4]

what about the issues brought up prior?
them all sorted? the blowing exhaust and leaking oil return i think it was?

[russ-RST]

for f**k sake johny you fudgekin dumb ass when i say i cant afford to pay my insurance and pay for the petrol to get there where on earth in that does the condition of my car come into it????
as toady has said my car is fine and nothing wrong with it its the initial money to get there thats the problem, and like f*ck would i get a "reliable runaround" why????? it would cost me silly money to insure it for no reason as i would drive this instead.. and theres nuffin wrong with w cvh turbo engine otherwise people wouldnt be using them would they?

everyone i know that has put a engine that wasnt the engine already fitted to the car has run into small problems like this in the 1st few months its expected its not unreliable its just where you forget to do things upon fitting it or say il do that once the engine is in

[Ratspeed]

So all your saying is you cant afford the petrol to get to work?

[russ-RST]

and to renew my policy as my old one runs out on the 20th and havent got a spare 220 lying around plus i work a month in hand so id have to have 2 months insurance and 2 months worth of petrol...

[jonyb4]

you aint stopped moaning theres something wrong with it...

exhaust blowing, cant fit a bolt, cant get the turbo to stop leaking oil


but if its simply petrol and a renewal stopping you from using it, its very tough luck, why dont you try a crisis loan at the job centre?

or a payday loan?

[Ratspeed]

Well i dont want to come across as a dick, but if you cant afford to run a car,dont run one!
I'm also with jony, a more economic car would benefit if fuel costs to get to work are a big problem.

[jonyb4]

also cheaper insuarance


try and get a loan mate, its deefo worth the grief, i mean its a job.. theyre soo hard to find a decent one these days, you should fight to keep it


i used to be able to run this car on the dole

[jayrs]

from what ive read he hasnt lost his job., and i will assume if he had the money to buy, insure, and run a run around, im sure he would have some money to sort this one out if not a run around would be got???
jony, i as i said, unless its changed, i read he hasnt lost his job, job centre/crisis loan wont apply to him, and even if it did, the chance of getting such for his car would be slim, even less than fudgekin slim tbh, job centre has no funding for f**k all anymore, im a little surprised they still dish out bus passes, but not as willy nilly as it was...

anyway, enough fo that, lets get this topic back on topic yeah, and stop talking about if someone can afford something or not, we all hit hard times for what ever reasons, so lets move on now yeah chaps

[russ-RST]

theres nuffin wrong with the car when i got this job i knew it was too far for me to travel and i got thee job through my best mate at the time and he said i can get a lift in with him all the time so it was no worries, and now me and him have had a big falling out because he has moved on to doing his own thing without tellin me and just left me with no way to get to work, all this came directly after jury service so i have had no hours this month or last month so my next 2 months pay would be nothing,

i dont think a loan is an option johny lol

and please stop telling me to get another car or dont run mine considering none of this has been my fault and if my mate hadnt been a mug and left going to work to become a drug dealer i would still be driving my car.... and the exhaust blow snapped bolt and oil leak were fixed ages ago.....

[russ-RST]

i dont struggle to run my car at all when i actually get paid what i should be gettin paid but i have been on emergency tax up untill jury service and now iv done 2 weeks jury service and no hours and i cant get to work

[RSGeorge]

and if my mate hadnt been a mug and left going to work to become a drug dealer

thats not a mate, thats a nobhead, sorry but thats just plain wrong. Cant stand them.

Anyways mate, I feel for you, just gotta pull yourself up and try and find something a bit more local thats easier to get to.

[jonyb4]

lol and me, twice!

minus the drive thing, i scraped to afford insurance/petrol on the dole

[russ-RST]

im not gettin rid off my car
do you lot actually read what i type? lol im keeping my car and using the odd bits off money i get whilst looking for a job to carry on with bits on it so its even better when i get it back, as soon as i have a job i will have it back on the road

[fezza89]

i understand mate, you've done too much work on it to get rid of it. i dare say it wont be long before you post up an update

[russ-RST]

i understand mate, you've done too much work on it to get rid of it. i dare say it wont be long before you post up an update

[Ratspeed]

Well how about you use that money to pay for petrol and insurance and drive the fudgekin thing ?

[russ-RST]

because im not going to manage to scrape about 400 quid every month!

[jonyb4]

because im not going to manage to scrape about 400 quid every month!

a Bic™ ini

me going to work and back is costing me £120 a month atleast!

and im on a monthly pay

[russ-RST]

lol johnny that nothing i dream of the day i only spend £30 a week on petrol

well on a deppressing note the car goes away tomorow to be stored on my nan and grandads drive which is quite a distance away from me so i doubt any work will be done
the idea was to thoroughly clean the car inside and out and then take it somewhere and grab some photos before it goes away but the weather is s**t so i geuss im gunna have to do that tomorow i am also planning on puttin my spare bumpers on the car so that i can spray the black rs ones when i get money through whilst the car is off the road, im basically just going to collect up as many bits as i can with the spare cash i get here and there untill i get a job then get insurance sit it outside my house and do everything to it as i have 3 sides of a4 paper just of jobs that need doing

also have a problem with my recaro seats will post up some pics soon

[frst toady]

wots up with ya seat then bud been eatin too many pies or somethin ?

[russ-RST]

lol well ya could say that toady lol

the bottom part of my seat dropped one night the bit that you actually sat on and i ended up sitting pretty much on the floor wasnt very comfortable nor very practical when your doing some spirited driving and all of a sudden drop 2-3 inches lol
iv since found out that there is a net sort of thing under the seat which hooks on either side and supports the person sitting on it and they normally look like this one ( my passenger side seat)



which is all very well and you can see the rubber parts stretching a little when weight is supplied on top ...
i then took a look at my drivers seat ...........


as you can see in the next two pics the rubber itself has somehow torn completely down the middle therefore splittin the net and it not creating any support


not impressed so its going to cost me £40 for the part to fix it i wouldnt mind if i was a big fat guy id expect it but im not i weight just under 12st which is not alot lol
bloody car

[frst toady]

def too much munchies llama, bit gutting reli bud
still least when it sorted chances are you wont av to do it again

[russ-RST]

lol
thats what im hoping anyway

never realised how many bits iv got to do on my car
been writing a list of the things i gotta do its rather large lol

[frst toady]

yeah same as mate, im still collectin bits n pieces for mine when i get the spare notes
then i can jus set about it instead of waitin to get bits
could do with gettin in a workshop reli still be nice to have the money spare

[jonyb4]

needs a new suspension meshing thing does it?
