This is the new "smoking" topic yeah?

Edit: Wotz is she a minor?

No I'm pretty sure she is 18 or 19. She would have young pics as she was popular at a young age. She used to do the eyebrow dance and got famous(lots of followers) from that.

Duke O Smiley · 10-06-2015 10:36PM

M9 I am sure she is like 17

Good detective skills anyway she is legal as she is 17. I wouldn't turn her down if she came up to me.

Car related, I went to get my tracking done today and they couldn't do it all the bolts were seized up. Still charged me €20, half price it is normally €40 but they said if I get the bolts unseized and come back they will do it for another €20, don't think I will bother.

Stheno · 10-06-2015 10:44PM

Sorry

Think I've finally figured out the Accord.

First the accelerator is bottom up not top down so changing foot position has made a huge difference.

Second as it's electrontic and not fly by wire, it reacts to road conditions, and there are specific sections of roads it appears to dislike, so am going to check the wheel alignment

It's off to the mechanic for a few minor things the next week or two, like the cabin lights, window switch (dgt, have you a four way window switch for an accord in your box of tricks/pm if you do?) and transmission fluid change.

Am considering changing all the tires, the are all something beginning with m, like maxmioxx and i'm convinced they are all ditch finders any thoughts on that?

Don't remind me of seized bolts. Need to get a sabre saw to cut the rear suspension out of the asti :cool:. No amount of ignornace, heat, angle grinder. wd40 or more ignorance worked.

GvidoR · 10-06-2015 10:52PM

My Golf is still young, 17 years old. Has some older parts in it though.

Still want something >30.

if you cant get a saw, try gear oil and pure acetone, works wonders! had a bolt like that on the 900, made up some of this stuff let it dwell for 5 minutes and it came right off

Maxxis tyres? They can be ok.
I have them on the e36 and they are fine Stheno.

I wouldn't put them on my car now to be fair though I only put the best tyres these days I can afford Goodyear on the 166 and Uniroyal on the 156

In car related news one of my rear speakers in the car is blowing so until I replace it I can't listen to Donal Lunny anymore so annoying

These bolt are siezed into the bushings on the rear control arms/subframe. Going nowhere! One of the lads is getting a sabre saw from work so should be good once that's on site! The bushings just twist when you use a breaker bay. Eventually got the nut off one end. The real problem is when you try to hammer the bolts out it bends the subframe and the angle grinder cant reach in without cutting the subframe. It's really light car so you can't just sledge things out unfortunately.

These two just above the edges of tire on the ground. One side worse than the other. Don't know if you can see them.

wotzgoingon · 10-06-2015 11:14PM

How is that project car going for you? I miss my Asti Rx Version R.
About Mitsubishi sites, is the Irish Mitsubishi owners club site gone. Tried to go into it earlier and couldn't, haven't been on it for ages since I don't own a Mitsi anymore.

toastedpickles · 10-06-2015 11:16PM

Ah feck that, saw that bastrd out

Simonigs1.0 · 10-06-2015 11:22PM

Today the inevitable happened. The daunting task no man with a two door coupe wants to be put through.

What buggy can I fit into the boot of the Gt?

Noccy_Mondy · 10-06-2015 11:24PM

Ah congrats man, boy or girl?

CianRyan · 10-06-2015 11:30PM

Watz, I've got a friend that looks like that Australian girl. Seems just as annoying too. :pac:

She's also a budding pro drag racer. :cool:

toastedpickles · 10-06-2015 11:33PM

Just after watching this, i thought it was pretty interesting so here ya go!

Cheers, we've not been told the gender yet but isn't that part of the excitement

At a bit of a standstill at the moment. One of the lads was supposed to get the gearbox 3rd gear syncro done but it's just been sitting on the ground in his workshop the past 2 months along with a brake pipe he's yet to make up. Not far off loosing interest in it tbh. People can be lazy bastards!

Irishmoc seems to be gone again. It was back up a few months ago. Little or nothing going on when it was up. There was only a handful of people active on it. Don't see many of the old fast mitsi's on the road anymore. The odd evo here and there.

Oh I was jumping the gun, thought the baby was born today!

Ah ya, adds to the excitement indeed, I'd want to know if it was me, wouldn't be able to wait.

I only watched a tiny bit of that video but I do not know how those bike drivers drive at those excess speeds on those bikes on the isle of man. My heart does be in my mouth watching them on tv. You even see the wheels kick out slightly after they jumped and hit the road surface again.

Noccy_Mondy · 10-06-2015 11:41PM

Anyone for a 2008 black 520d m sport touring?

There's v few on DD, even fewer tourings!
