bike carbs! as said b4 had a wee bitty trouble, its kl now tho running mint! needs re-jetted and some decent filters as its running a ''ghettoo'' airbox with only one trumpet at the top to compensate for the jetting situation, too much air or what not, however, thus will be sorted in time! got a half sized alloy rad for it too as my old 1 is fucked the fins are flaking off...get pics soon

conor do you ride BMX?

do you have your old front shocks and rear LCA's for sale as i need them to get a civic shell from edinburgh and would be a good help.

thanks.

Ronnie.

conors · Post by **conors** » Thu Dec 03, 2009 3:30 pm

right...well...

MOT yesterday, EPIC FAIL!!

kinda knew it would but i only thought for the hand brake...turns out theres a wee bit more lol..like emmisions are double the legal requirement thanks to those bike carbs! but going to see some1 tonight and hopefully get it sorted, along with tackling the list of stuff thats not right. only problem is im pretty skint!!! bad times like!

conors · Post by **conors** » Thu Dec 03, 2009 5:54 pm

swap carbs?! NOOOOOOOO...... haha not after all the hassle f**k that!

dropped it off just there to the man that done the carbs, has a few tricks up his sleeve to get it thru mot, might get it e-jetted anyways so i can get some k&n's on it! brake lines are corroded where they come out the arch, mint inside, so they are going to need replaced. beam on headlights need adjusted, no biggie. fog/reverse lamps need switched sides, again no big deal. its maed out on the test sheet that theres alot of big jobs, but once you narrow them down abit its barely anything, washer jets not giving out enough fluid

empty washer bottle. think the garage were just bein wankers tbh!

i'll keep you's posted. was hoping to spend a good bit of cash on her, end of this year start of next, just have to see how it goes. pretty bad time of year to be spending! what with xmas etc. wee bit pissed off bit just have to go with it!!

cheers

orite lads! FINALLY got the GL back, managed to get her thru the mot, unfortunetly had alot to sort, head gasket had gone brakelines etc cummin up for 94k now so, anyways im abit lighter money wise! not got any 'updates' as such just nice to have the car back! Heads been skimmed abit and got some head work carried out when the head was off, sounds nice now and runs as it should have. sweet.

another thing i needed and finally purchased:

going to need a new vr6 lip, even at the height its at a chunk of snow ripped thru it, nightmare! as u can see from the snow here, aint much gonna be happening for a while!

general shnow picture, quite bad here!
