  1. I'd be extremely interested in seeing some photos of this car, and not just in a "making noises about it wasting your time" - I am genuinely interested in it.
  2. Nice one mate! Best feeling in the world isn't it??????

  5. They'll be made to fit if there's a problem! I'm (my dad is) quite inventive and have a good attention for detail, and I will be putting photos up. I'm going to make some tutorials of the jobs I've done in the past too
  6. Mine does this twice if I'm 'pressing on' on a regular trip of mine! Southbound at the Buckden roundabout at the A1! ESP on, or off - it always does it, bloody annoying and slightly odd!
  7. Mine have gone like this over 20ish k.. It's now like driving a Sybian and it's quite annoying as there's plenty of life left in the tyres. It's done it all of its life as the previous owner will attest to.
  8. thanks guys! nice to see i haven't made a pigs ear of it lol. I specifically kept away from vRS parts, as I wanted to keep its identity as a Laurin & Klement, so now it's more of an L&K R I see you have the sport John, really like the Sports! I have the front bumper on mine but they never made the rear bumper for the combi! So I put an FL vRS bumper on! I used yellow LaminX film on them, but before that I painted the guts of them in black, which is why they look dark The number plates have the Czech EU logo on them, I really like them, along with the little plate frames I'll give panel wipe a try before I fit the Mk5 skirts, which are currently sitting in my room looking sexy, going away this weekend for a friends holiday, but I have the house to myself next week so it's going to be constant car work and fiddling, might break the rotary out again and blackmax it then use some Wolfs Hardbody i've been dying to buy and try! Once the skirts are on i'm going to go for a proper good photoshoot, so stay tuned Nik
  9. mine has this option (2007, MY08 model year) it can be enabled in the maxidot, mine's an L&K

Gonna renew my freedophile membership later on and all will be rosy! Lots of exciting things happening with the L&K before Inters, and for 2013's show season, it'll be getting air ride, a respray and a retrim amongst some other little things. Also got my new injectors fitted and a few polybushes fitted courtesy of Ali @ Unit18 who's always a pleasure to deal with! Hope all the regulars and the new peeps are doing good!
  12. Fed up with this rain

  13. Not saying my ex was simple but I told her I invented bleach to impress her, and she believed me.

  14. nightbreakers on the right, crappy sealed beams on the left!
  15. In quite a good mood today. Just found out my ex has been struck off my life insurance. Cashback.

  16. Amen to that. You converted me to it, most fantastic product of ever!
  17. Ooooooh I love the JDM Mistrals! Mate has a 1995 one with factory navimagation (screen the size of a postage stamp lol) they come with all sorts of funky bits, I want the double din dash from one. I plan on doing the cladding dark grey, or finding a mistral with it and swapping the nicer bumpers and rear lights. Where in Cornwall are you from mate? It's my family and I's second home pretty much! The old girl has an MOT on Wednesday, and picking up some weller wheels with new Insa Turbos! Old Skool white wellers like a baws! Also fitted a nice Sony iPod head unit too

    If all you can do is resort to personal insults and still be wrong then if I were you i'd just say "FML". Handling was very lacklustre, turn in was sharp but it lacked grip even on wide expensive Michelins. It also felt very unstable at speed. And I was referring to my 1.6 2008 G4ED engined Coupe as having old tech. And it certainly felt it. Cheap and nasty, the whole car. A pig in a sequin dress. And I may have been using 1970s as just a term to say it was old. And the VVT system had precisely nothing to do with Toyota (there's many types of variable valve timing you know, the Hyundai CVVT was a propriatory system with technical input sourced from Ricardo and Robert Bosch. It was also very rudimentary compared to Nissan's VVL and Honda's VTEC) The Beta II as fitted to your RD2/GK Coupe was Hyundai's which came out in the years ago and was fitted to the Galant etc, Hyundai up until the late 90s always used older established engines to keep R&D costs low. I used to work for Hyundai UK's press office.
