    Im probably going to get a lot of flac for this, but there's actually some pretty good gen on infowars.com, a lot of it is mostly conspiracy tbh, but the other parts i can see have atleast some truth in them interesting link on 'the corporate man' squeezing the little guy HERE

    Anyone remember the article about taco bell using earthworms?... Its mass produced stodge, being fed to a generation of despondant apathetic trust-fund babies, being sold by gigantic corporations looking for the biggest profit margin I grow my own stuff, only use rain water too, there's too much shit in the tap water, things 'they' dont want you to know about. dont conform peeps, refuse to be a drone
  4. cheers bud, bought it a cou[ple of days ago

    not familiar with the theft patterns tbh, i guess its similar to in the UK i.e. depends if you live in a 'rough' area or not. you can always deter theft, like park it in a space where there is CCTV, fit a disc locks and alarm, a big f*cking chain through the frame to something solid like a ground anchor or lampost

  7. you can get panniers for them, although you would probably find rocking horse sh*t with hens teeth in it with less effort/money, there are mounting points for panniers in the tail unit which are blanked off with little plastic bungs, if fancy a bit of fabrication you could make a set, likewise with the rack

    I knew that having the mental age of a toddler would have its advantages ^.^, last week i got a bollocking for drawing on the concreete blast walls with crayon

    yeah the corned beef hash is still there, so is the little bottle of tabasco to make it edible, they do a wicked lamb curry for the dinner pack tho

    Unfortunately they no longer put screech in the rat packs , you get a little pouch of fruit flavoured paste/drink and an oatmeal biscuit which is full of sugar, and the 'not for civies' yorkie bars have been shitcanned because they weren't halal compatable, they now give you some shit choc which seperates into a milky layer and dust
  12. what i meant was that the studs i attempted to drill through (and fucked up) have now been filled in with weld, so i plan to make a small jig that sits in the exhaust port and mimics the footprint of the original exhaust clamp, i can then drill through the jig and get the new holes on dead centre

    Alternatively you could try eating the "biscuit browns" that the military uses in its 24hr ration packs, just dont expect them to taste of anything except cardboard and you wont have a dump for a week, good for soaking up oil spills though

    That RXS looks pretty tidy, probably be better off selling it to get some money back in for all the new parts that GPZ will need , H reg so 1990/91, looks almost as bad as my XJ turbo was, full nut and bolt rebuild or a slap-together-and-ride?
  17. Just a quick update peeps. i managed to find a very good set of downpipes complete with collector box on eBay and made an offer, the only other major part of the exhaust i am missing is the inlet that runs from the collector box to the turbo, that may need some creative thinking to solve as most second hand parts have the same problem of being rotted out that my original one had , main priority is still re-drilling the exhaust studs and getting that engine ready to go back in the frame, after that everything else can start being refitted, not a lot i can do about it for the next couple of months as im still in the sandbox

    Will be looking to close this thread in the next couple of days peeps, get your votes in now or it will have to wait for Marchs' page
  19. Hi peeps, Was looking through some of my various XJ Turbo bits and pieces on my laptop trying to re-familiarise myself with how it goes back together, i already have a parts catalog which helps a fair bit but was wondering if anybody had a link to a service manual online? i have one for the DT50 which goes into great detail about how/where the wires should route e.t.c and would be a great thing to have for the turbo aswell any help appreciated Foameh

    depending what the gap is you could spin up a bush to sit between the hub and the bearing, or just use your italian tin with a bit of loctite, if it aint broke dont fix it right?

    And we usually end up bailing out the poorer countries and getting dragged into bullshit conflicts. Have you looked at any of the Kia range?, i know im probably a bit biased but the new sportages and sorentos look very tasty and have a good spec, buy a petrol one and gas it , i have one of the first generation sportages on gas and it returns 50mpg equivelant, £255 a year to tax, £900 a year to insure (ive had a few shunts) and apart from an incident with a popped water bed which caused the rear lights to mess about for a bit (was my fault tbh) it has never had any problems,
  22. aslong as it isnt stupidly loud i cant see why they would have a problem with it, unless it has a sticker that says "for race use only" or something, you can even buy the certification plates off ebay for a few quid if you're that worried about it

    I dualboot my laptop with XP, Linux Ubuntu and windows 7, only problems im having with windows 7 is running a lot of the old 32-bit games (Apache 95, streets of simcity, proper old skool stuff) and it wont run the johnny castaway screensaver
  24. Well its bound to be worth a shot, was the finish okay and did you have to clean up the finish afterwards? Like paint running or anything?

    It gets cold in winter, was 55'c in may 2011 when I was out here and it was great for sunbathing but we had to pour water over the steering wheel and gear stick of the landys or your hands would burn Stopped at cyprus atm, spent the last 5 hours wedged between 2 f'cking huuuuge royal marines, why do I always get the middle seat
