  1. Bit of a long shot but I have a load of toyota starlet turbo ep82/ep91 upgraded suspension bushes, engine mounts, anti roll bars and strut braces to shift as part of an unfisished project (whiteline/cusco and ultra racing parts), everything is new but I just want rid of it if anyone knows someone who'd want the lot far less than what its worth if they collect from chester way? Please pm me if you know anyone interested!

    Crazy Rider.

    Is the frame a zebdi?
  3. Have you got caged pedals? Try tightening the four bolts that hold the cage on, mine often come loose and cause a creaking noise.
  4. any chance of welding a bar/lever to the top of the blighter ? then again anywhere that can weld some sort of lever to it will get it out properly anyway...
  5. What about scaffolding clamps? I've no idea what diameters they come in but must be readily available second hand/cheap & more than strong enough? http://www.doughty-engineering.co.uk/cgi-bin/trolleyed_public.cgi?action=showprod_T24900 No need to bugger about with shims/drills then
  6. A good quality steel bolt will be stronger.
  7. Rodrigo Y Gabriela I suspect they are Spaniards but the music is very good. They do flamenco style rock covers of led zep, floyd and metallica amongst others as well as their own nifty stuff.
  8. Could also try a fairly large socket on an extension bar. might damage the headset a bit though

    Google uk is the homepage, which is why I'm confused.

    Firefox Help

    Can anyone tell me how to change the settings so that if I type in a website name eg "trials forum" in the address bar without www etc it takes me straight to the site rather than going through yahoo searches? It had been working fine for ages but somehow I've managed to break this handy feature Thanks
  11. Royal mail website says you can do it for around £50.
  12. Really enjoyed that. Dunno, did you film it left handed?

    Partz Koxx Days 2008

    Excellent as usual. Wish I had a passport. Which kind of bird is awake at ten to five in the morning... That would be the early bird!

    Pads: Koxx Reds Time used: Nearly a year Rim used: Echo 07 Mod/Stock: Stock (07 pure) Grind: Yes Brake used: 2004 Magura, braided hose, no booster Previously used pads: Zoo, Joypads, magura red / black, Gu, Planet X sticky, Plazmatics By far the best all round pads I've ever used. They have very good bite and hold in the dry and reasonable hold in the wet. They've been used on the same rim with light, sharp and heavy grinds and seem to work best on sharp grinds. The wear rate is outstanding considering my grind is comparable to a badgers arse.

    I tried a set of these and they are identical to zoo pads, very good on smooth rims but not too clever on a grind.
  16. They have used 18:12 gearing as an example as they assumed Dan Kearns was talking about mod bikes. (Your wrong G4vyn ) Freeehubs do feel sluggish to me compared to freewheels but I'd stick with the King if I was you.
  17. leisure centres and climbing centres etc as well, maybe even gyms
  18. Well done on passing, but I was always told that three of the same faults meant a fail by my instructor. Clearly not the case...
  19. No. If the threads have given up then you'll have to get it sleeved by someone like argos cycles or get a threadless bottom bracket
  20. Are they echo/zoo etc. forks? I had a similar problem although not as extreme with some urbans where the area for the base of the headset was nowhere near flat. Maybe contact who you brought them from, or see if you can spy the high spots on the fork and carefully file them level.

    First Cars.

    I don't think the point of huge's list was to suggest cars to get as a first car, more of a case of highlighting that the statement regarding getting a car which is a 1.4 or above, is a bit silly. Which was kinda what I was getting at above, but more subtly. Yes, thats what I was trying to show, however I lacked the finnesse of your post! I would highly recommend against getting any quick car as a first, in fact I think it may be beneficial to introduce some sort of power limit like that found with motorbike licences. I'd recommend a 205 of some description as a first car

    First Cars.

    To whoever said don't get anything under a 1.4 Starlet turbo 1.3 Charade turbo 1.0 Swift GTi 1.3 RX7 1.3 RX8 1.3 Uno turbo 1.3/1.4 Punto turbo 1.4 All of them will not be slow, i'm sure there are other quick low capacity cars-don't be so narrow minded However like others have said, I recommend you do not get a fast car as your first.

    First Cars.

    Try herts insurance if you have modified your car, they are quite helpful. My first car was a 2001 ford ka, bit girly but the handling was much better than other cars I would've been able to insure and it had no major mechanical troubles. I now drive a 1993 toyota starlet turbo which is loads of fun and very reliable. I recommend you get someting sensible as a first car to build no claims and prevent you having too much power at your hands. Then save up for a faster/newer/flasher car and you'll appreciate it much more Try not to go on your parents insurance claiming to be a second driver when it is in fact your car. It may be cheaper but its illegal and insurers are clamping down on this. I doubt you'll find a quote of less than £1300 third party for your first car on your own insurance.
  24. It is suprisingly powerful and it needs much less effort than a hydraulic brake to pull.
