    The 50k 10 Year Project / Show Car

    On the Billet Rotary website, guide price for a 20B short block is around £28k. So by the time it is landed and fitted. You may do it for £50k :cry:

    The 50k 10 Year Project / Show Car

    Weirdly lots of RX7 swap content :cry:. I'd want to 3 rotor my RX8. Stock looking R3 with big brakes, fully NA peripheral ported 3 rotor. So somewhere around 300bhp or so, with the soundtrack to match. All about that scream.

    Helldivers 2

    My friend found a thread on Reddit which showed that it was a GameGuard file that corrupts upon extract. npls.dsm (or something like that). So the little work around we did was verify integrity of the game files. Copy that file to a seperate folder and after every mission drag and drop the file...

    Spec me a fun 2+2

    I am going to be that JDM guy. What is the rotary scene like over there? An RX8 fills the 2+2 brief perfectly. In theory should be waaaaaaaaay cheaper to buy than all of the listed cars, but obviously slower and good ol' Japanese interior. Just depends if you have any specialists that can care...

    Do you charge your children "keep" or rent? Do/did you pay it yourself?

    I paid a third of my wage when I turned 18 and started my apprenticeship. Lived with my dad and that £200 sometimes made the difference for him to pay the bills. Never did me any harm, and taught me that just living costs, so if I have children I would also have them pay rent. Employment status...

    Obesity

    Been reading through this thread and thought I'd add my own personal experience. Everyone is different, genetic make up, we also change as we get older, education when young and all that. At the beginning of this year I came to the conclusion that as I am getting older (37) the diet that I have...

    Rocketing tyre prices

    I've got a set of 16s for my Mini, so going a size smaller for handling, ride and tyre cost benefits over 17s. To my surprise the price of tyres is very expensive, I remember buying good brands for about £80 a corner a few years ago now admittedly, but now they are at £110-£120. Which is what...

    Cyptolambo 2 is dead.... kindai goes car shawping

    Depending on which way you lean, early V12 Vantages are within the budget. Unfortunately they don't really have the colour palette and maybe not the dynamics you are looking for. But would be difficult for me to overlook.

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    No we haven't test detonated a warhead since before the CTBT (Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty - 1996). To my current knowledge, I haven't worked in the industry for about 12 years now, but have plenty of ex colleagues I regularly communicate with. The Trident missile is the carrier and the...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    All of the above. The whole purpose of the site is to support the Nuclear Deterrent, which revolves around the warheads. It is all specialist skills, tooling and materials.

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    I spent 7 years working in this area and have first hand knowledge and experience. We spend a lot of time and money maintaining our warheads.

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    The phrase zero first hand experience is an interesting one. I mean none of us (that I am aware of) are on the front line for either side. But the fallout of the conflict has given many of us first hand experience of consequences to supply line issues. Both in materials and fuel, which directly...

    Government is talking about upping car tax upto £140 this year

    Imagine owning a 3 MPS and an R3 RX8. £710 and £735. Not even a free KY Jelly thrown in for my cash.

    So I want to treat myself...

    I would also consider a Nissan GTR. A couple on Autotrader on the very limit of your budget.

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    Does anyone know if we are standing up our own defence industry like this? It seems like a slam dunk way of generating some sustainability for our own armed forces and creating jobs/skills to benefit the wider economy.

    Official 2023 United States Grand Prix Thread - Circuit of the Americas, Austin - Round 19

    But it potentially identifies an issue with the Sprint format at certain tracks. It shouldn't matter if you are a Ham or Leclerc fan because how do we know that Sainz's car that got promoted to the podium was in fact in keeping with the plank wear that his teammate failed as you'd hazard a guess...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    Whilst Rroff doesn't need me to defend him. I don't think you've correctly understood the statement you quoted. Nothing in the statement links towards carefully pushing Russia out in a non upsetting way.

    Show Us Your Motors!

    Ah yea those guys decided to entertain the crowd by revving the nuts off their cars and the whole pop and bang thing. Probably the only part of the show that grinds my gears. I'm getting old.

    It was indeed! Definitely the reason why you passed loads of JDM cars :D
