You are correct, it is illegal. I'd like to see you track down the source of it though...

It's an unbranded one, and to me looks extremely cheaply built. The speedo for example, looks really cheap and nasty. I've nothing against ped's in general but that looks like it'll fall apart...

I'll buy 'em for $1,000,000 :)

Yeah they sure look sexy! Gotta find a good condition one... I saw one last night and it was a rust bucket!

Just got quotes: 1.4 Clio £997.90 1.3 Polo GT £859.00 Polo it is then! Cheers Rocktrials and all that advised.. much appreciated.. I'll post a pic in a few months when I get the car :(

Thanks for the advice mate, but I really don't want a ford. Not my cup of tea at all... Thanks for the idea though :(

Cool.. I realise it won't be super quick but for a 1.3 what can you expect? Unless you whack a Garrett turbo on it :( I like the look of 'em too!

LOL Parkers didn't have old Clio's or old Corolla's on there anyway :( Looked for Polo GT's over lunch, they seem rare? What's the 0 - 60 in one of those?

Booning seems to be the new-skool term for backhopping when I first started riding :(

Couldn't agree more ;)

I'm all for different looking frames, it looks awesome... sick of the same old frames being released, they all look crap. IMO (Yes, IN MY OPINION) the ashton looks crap, the stickers look cheap and the frame just looks boring. This frame however looks mad, great stuff!

ROUGHLY £700 - £900 I've seen one around my area, white 1.3 gi £395 but i'm a bit skeptical about cars that cost half the money my trials bike did :(

Did they do a rally Corolla? I know they did with the newer bubbley shape one but I don't remember the old square-type ones? Well anyway, yeah they handle really well, I know someone that has a GTI. I was purely thinking about off the lights acceleration. Being a 1.3 I know it won't be super quick, but i'd like the fastest car possible for my budget. Plus I just love the old Corollas, most people don't but I like the retro sexyness :(

That's what I thought, but I bet parts are hard to come by :( I'd love the 16 valve GTI but the insurance is sky high!

Happy birthday!!! I'm 21 next month, can't wait... I'm getting a car for my birthday, but not sure what to get yet... Gonna be a 1.4 though i'm not waiting all day to get to 60 mph like my g/f's 1.1 hehe.

LOL yeah sorry Mr. Jackson I didn't mean it mate, keep it real cha'mone! Check yo' bad self Michael

Couldn't agree more... the parents were blatently trying to get loads of money anyway... Celebrities suck.

To solve a dispute, what is faster: 1.4 Clio RT (The mk I's) -or- 1.3 Corolla GI (The old shape ones)

Text talk was made for people because typing on a phone is a pain in the arse. On a keyboard there is absolutely NO excuse to use text talk. It takes a split second to type a word, so why type it shorter?? And the reasons people use "proper English" is because you look like a f**king idiot if you don't.

In the past I said to a girl on the train: "Hey, er, you'll probably laugh at me or something, but I thought it's worth a shot, do you fancy going out for a drink or something?" She looked a bit shy at first and said "er, yeah, ok" I gave her my number and just said if you do, gimme a ring. 3 days later she did! It turned out to be a quick one night thing but hey can't win 'em all...

Final decision made! 4HP Flymo motor is going to be used, i've booked the machine in for engine mount welding and fairing installation. I'm currently bidding on a running flymo motor on eBay, it's a fiver at the moment. This is gonna be fun :)

I've found a safer, easier alternative to the lawn mower engine. I'm going to mount a 10 HP strimmer motor onto the frame just above the back wheel, where a rubber roller grinds against the back wheel obviously making it turn. Now I know the down sides (Worn tyres, friction etc...) But this will be a lot easier and probably less likely to land me in prison or in hospital. It's also cheaper and MUCH quicker to build... Anyone agree with me?

It's not really going to be for trials anyway, I'm only using a 'Cuda Ghetto so it's not really trials at the moment anyway! Purely for speed... And brake-wise: Front HS33 Rear Avid (AD7?) Not ground rims either... I admit I haven't thought it out that much but hey i'm going for it! It will be fun... The hardest bit I can see is making the motor work, the welding will be no problem. The plant is to remove the cranks and fill the BB, have the motor just above where the BB is inside the triangle, and make a cover or "fairing" for the bike. The idea is to have a chainring where it would be if there were cranks, but obviously it will be connected to the motor not the BB. Get me? Anyway, more research and help from companies is required... This WILL happen.

Oh I will don't worry... my boss just gave me some useful info too, this is gonna be fun!

My overall aim is to blast away mopeds... not sure if it will, but hey it'll be fun trying :huh:
