[pistol pete]

Not sure yet..

[JD]

I hope you get a decent quote and a quick job on the roof. You DIYing or getting help?

[Martin F]

Gutted for you Pete, I know how much fun this car was giving you,

[pistol pete]

Its a big roof big job.. i looked into doing myself.. but its a massive task, as chimney coming out
As well as it needs a slight slant in opposite direction it is now, and facias and soffits..
Also getting up the asfhalt thats currently on the roof thans come old and just seaping in water..
Works out ovee 65m2 needs de roofing re boarding amd re roofing.. i currently dont have the time or people to do it,... also need it doen so wont leak for a long time.. it always will at somepoint as its a flat roofed house.. but i wont move.. its a 5 bed huge drive and garden.. not allowed a pitched roof as whole estate are flat..


First quote will be in tomorrow his rough guess was 12500 but also 3 other quotes tomorrow and go from there.. its gotta be done.. hate damp and leaking roof


I am gonna get something toyota.. now kels has the skoda vrs for mpg and general family work. Im selling the busa and my daily audi tdi..
From there i am getting andy's mk1 v6 as a daily/nice/show car, and to go with it probably a gen6 2.0gt celica for sprinting/daily/playing/family stuff
That way il, drop back into the toyota sprint something cheap reliable and easy till im back on my feet.. i dont want another mk2 for sprinting and still want a car with 4 seats so the gen6 fits bill nicely, imknow the engine well enough. Then the v6 somstill have something a little special without spending horrific amounts of money


Thanks for the support guys.. yeah ill miss busa.. but i can say i done it. And really enjoyed it.. but family and house has to come first

I havepaid for this year javelin sprint series, so will be doing in audi this weekend, then go from there.. if i get a gen 6 ill drop into the tss ones too.. im not giving up sprinting, making it cheaper again for a while

Have now ordered an ACIS spacer for it, will get something done about suspension too

also fitted up the bumper that came with the v6, made up tool to test the head gasket to ensure its okays



love the wide rear arches

[pistol pete]

the overheating issue seems to be sorted with changing the rad car.. back to a standard toyota one..
been driving it around since.. touch wood coolant is now behaving as it should..

went in for MOt today..
PASSED.. woohoo.
be lots of driving it this weekend i feel
It gathers speed with out fuss but an alarming rate.. sounds great.. not a big fan of the exhaust so would like to change that at some point

[JD]

Nice. You fancy doing another Kent run soon

[pistol pete]

[pistol pete]

It felt great

[Race Idiot]

I feel like you should be sprinting the AW11 instead of the celica!

[pistol pete]

Not gonna happen.. aw11 is pretty and a fab road car engine is brilliant.. but its well.. its no track car and its too clean and no rust for me to do that..


Plus i got coilovers, acis, big brakes , wheels, arbs coming for celica..

[Race Idiot]

Is it a genuine sc shell? Maybe its too nice for it then!

[pistol pete]

Is it a genuine sc shell? Maybe its too nice for it then!

Yep genuine, rust free hard top SC shell ...


You should bring your along for a sprint.. you would really enjoy it

looking forward to the challenges with learning to drive a FWD car quickly on track
