Praying for the weather for Billing, currently 45 deg C in Malaga, catching a flight home tomorrow, set off to Billing hopefully Friday at some point
Messaged a guy on eBay asking him why the item I ordered off of him shows that it hasn't even left in the tracking number, and all he replied with was, "it usually takes 14-21 days for item to be delivered." and nothing else. Like bro, come on. I want my MOMO boss kit bolts for my steering wheel :(
Set off to billing Friday in the nova...made it 1 mile going steady away and had to be trailered back with suspected bottom end failure.
still managed to have a great weekend though :)
On friday put my nova turbo in to 3rd gear at high revs in 4th missing 5th. Only thing salavable is the exhaust cam and crank lol onwardsand upwards

i was on my hols in north devon.... it was weeing it down for 3 solid days, the tent got saturated and my trailer tent beds collapsed.. so i spent one whole day stripping & repairing them to survive the week.....then the fabric of the tent roof actually ripped in the high winds that followed... so we managed to use the groundsheet to patch the roof, and did it well enough to not look like a filipino tip dwellers shack.........
thank god they sell lots of cider in devon....
also see 'what made you happy today' thread...........
My manifold on the golf snapped last Friday been riding bike my legs kill lol
blowing my nova up for the second time this year
What happened?^ To much reves or to little oil pressure?
50psi down on pot four.sounded like knocking aswell.breathing heavy aswell.smoking alot and from the breather on idle.
Being told work are relocating me within the next 9-12 months. Ok not miles away but it means I will have to start going on push iron all year round as I can't afford to bus it :(
I wish i could bike to work.i hate driving.
I love it at this time of year, just not so much when its cold, dark and wet lolQuote:

Anyway, I pick up my mate and we head over to Alf Gatt (a local car parts store) so I can go and get some parts for my Nova.
I'll be under "me" while the guy serving me will be under "guy."
Guy: "yes, may I help you?"
Me: "Yeah um, I'm looking for some parts for my Vauxhall Nova."
Guy: "yeah?"
Me: "do you by any chance have the gasket for the inspection panel on the gearbox?"
Guy: "no."
Me: "do you have the calipers for the vented discs for the Nova?"
Guy: "The ones that came on the GSi?"
Me: "yeah."
Guy: "no."
Me: "what about a pair of universal rad fans?"
Guy: "push or pull?"
Me: "push"
Guy: "no."
Me: "what about a timing belt for a 1.7L Isuzu diesel engine?"
Guy: "no."
Me: "okay thank you."
How the fuck do these guys stay in business.
By stocking parts people actually want on a daily basis I guess.
They carry Morris Marina parts, easily one of the worst cars ever made.Quote:

Considering that Nova's aren't rare here (especially since you find 4 on my block alone, not including mine) and the 1.7L Isuzu diesel is beyond famous over here, you'd think they'd carry parts and stuff for them.Quote:

I've never been able to use a cross trainer hate them, give me a treadmill any day of the week.
Tried fitting a pod filter on my turbo, as it sucks in whatever shit it can, and found out the air line and the dipstick are in the way, so I gotta head to my exhaust shop and see if they can cut me a piece of pipe for it, and then off to the car parts shop to see if they have silicone reducers from 2" to about 1.5"
Car failed the MOT and wanted to take it to SantaPod
Fix the problems and retest it?Quote:

Prior to this, we wanted to order two massive meals but we left instead. Their loss. Tossers. Rant over. (well for today anyway haha)
Just realised I've not been on here in way too long, and also my membership has expired :(
I will getting sorted when I eventually get paid.
Hey up gezza, hope your keeping well ;)Quote:
