Cavcraft Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 I haven't had a chance to read the replies yet so he could be a wind up merchant.I'm being told of someone even worse on another forum who is DEFO 4 REEL though, more news on that once I get time to investigate.

shite_meister Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I used to work with a lad who clamped his rear springs with Jubilee clips to lower it slightly, when the vehicle was on a ramp you could just lift out the rear springs needless to say although he wasn't a mechanic we were working in a garage so he had the piss ripped out of him big time.

Ratdat Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 The top leaf of one of the rear springs on my lowrider snapped whilst at RTTS down in Newquay once. Worst of all it snapped ahead of the axle meaning instant rear wheel steering. A could of pairs of mole grips and about 50 large cable ties held it together just fine for the 210 mile journey home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative Creep Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 The airbox one was done in response to another poster. He genuinely claimed that by fitting a bigger inlet pip and advancing his timing by 2mm, his 1.4 Astra would do 120mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Jesus, imagine the electric bill for all that!Is that Chavtastic/Nemesis in the last one?No mate it's Wayne I think. Nemesis (Ben) hasn't been quiet though and is still entertaining people elsewhere Still think it was a sad day when he got a lifetime ban, whatever people thought of him he certainly knew how to light the place up.

Should I be dousing my air filter with it? Am I making the mistake of putting it in the diesel tank instead of the air filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 That chavtastic lad is a right little twat, he stitched my mate out of £250. If I ever met him i'd cheerfully boot him in the stones until they were pulped, however i just have to hope that someone else will do it for me.

Cavcraft Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 The electrical episode was one of my favourite ever internet threads. He got a bit shirty on another forum and said his uncle owned an inflatable boxing ring and he would meet anyone who 'dissed' him and leather them He got quite a few offers from what I remember but didn't take any of them up, then just disappeared off the face of the interwebz.
