Nick

Im going on thursday (trade day) with the college

so? what were they then?

I only work saturdays sundays mondays and tuesdays but am working everyone right up to christmas, thats a 12 till 8.30 shift :/

Agree with you there 63, the speed limits around oxford are stupid, especially the one ont he ringroad. Yes some kids may have died there, but they have put up huge concrete bollards in the centre to stop vehicles doing the same as what happened, so why the 50 limit :@ its not like many people stick to it after coming under the bridge (heading towards bmw from headington direction) most cruise at 50 till they can see that the van isnt there, then take it up to 70 anyway :/

Why not look at getting an engine out of a focus rs? its a volvo engine so get an ovlov box and bobs ya uncle, there like 300 bhp arnt they

Why did it acctually get cancelled? i heard that there was a big fight or something

What if it was the postman tho, not the milkman then is it

Nissan 1800 or 2 litre turbo engine? can pick them up fairly cheap and there what 180 ish out the box and will take some serious power especially the sr20's

ERRR yeah thats abit F****D :L get the logbook off it tho and as many parts as possibloe, suspension, glass etc

Any idea as to when the osf one is back? im not looking to park in the carpark as i drive a mk2 fiesta and will happily park elsewhere, just want to pop down and see some of the wonderful machinery on show

Just wondering when the fords night at ace cafe is going to be back? i know its been cancelled for a while and i really want to go to one

whens the next one of these please?

Just gets better and better :L i really must introduce myself sometime soon

Looks like i know where im coming to have my welding done then mark

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but where do u get them wheels from?

Why, just WHY would u do that

How did he even get it in there in the first place

I would just buy a mk2 escort in the first place :L would be a 4 door, in pale blue with a set of rs 2000 banded steelies running a 2 litre zetec on a set of lovely bike carbs or thrrotle bodies

Ill just leave this here for you all to admire http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/82007105/

Well done fella, how many lessons u had? also noticed your in oxford sometimes, im from oxford aswell so will probably see you about i drive a mk2 fiesta with rs 4 spokes, lowerred and has a black bonnet, quite hard to miss :L

Spotted a 4 door gold coloured mk2 escort yesterday going down the a34. Was low on what looked like revo's or something (was dark about 7 so couldnt quite see) driven by a young looking lad with 4 up in the car aswell if your on here, im the dude in the mk2 fiesta that u overtook near abingdon

What is that thats about to take the bloke out :L

i was ment to be at work (work every saturday) but was my grandfathers funeral yesterday so had the day off to recover, got bloody work tomorrow aswell :@

Well now you have me started :L im a big mini fan myself, currently have an estate Now the vtec (and redtop) conversion is a big swap in the mini scene, just like the cossie yb and zetec conversion in the osf scene. This company (superfast mini's) have also got a grey mini saloon with the 1800 (i think :s) vtec and awd in it aswell. They do alot of subframe kits to fit the vtec in the front of the mini, including the 2 litre type R. The kits are around the 2.5k mark, which in my eyes is very step considering you need an extend front in order to fit the engine under, whereas theres a compamny over here (allspeed engineering) that do a subframe for the 1800 or lower (dont know about the 2 litre under a standard nose on the allspeed frame) to fit under a standard roundnose. Furthermore, theres also a company called pro-motive, who sell a kit that allows the fitment of the R1 engine into the front of the mini. Now away from the fwd conversions, theres also a company called zcars that some of you may know of. These do a kit that allows you to install a Yamaha R1, suzuki Hayabusa, GSXR 1000 bike engine into the back of the mini. they also do a kit which allows the fitment of the 2 litre type R into the back aswell. Few examples: 2 litre type r (zcars): hayabusa (zcars): R1 (zcars): Pro mo R1: Pro motive website: http://www.pro-motive.co.uk/ zcars: http://www.zcars.org.uk/ Superfast minis (builders of the red estate in question in this thread): http://www.superfastminis.com/ So sorry for waffling, but hope its imformative to who ever is interested

What The Actual F*** why would you want to drive something like that i suppose if he needed to get under a lorry trailer or under a car park barrier, he wouldnt struggle :L
