It'll go back on the G when it's running but that won't be until next year now

The E30... What do you reckon with my luck? It's dead :lol: Currently seeking a fuel pump for it, apart from that there are no plans for it but to get it sideways so :-p

sweeet sideways is the way forward :nod: thats the best thing bout my merc, lol just watch the curbs tho as they hurt :crybaby::paranoid: i stripped my G out today due to massive leakage but after not being bothered to fix the problem i put it back together, :lol: :lol: :-D

Good to see you are sticking with it :thumbsup:

I picked up another spare engine a few weeks ago, so when you decide to have a tinker with the G again, give us a shout as one will probably be still sat in my garage :)

So I've been non stop last year running Never-Lift and working for Drift One which I am thoroughly enjoying and will be continuing with this year

An article for those interested: http://www.drifted.com/ian-gratton/grassro...-november/5335/

Big changes my end, re located to Castle Donington, working at Donington Park, getting married this year and now I'm finally in a position to sort the G out, mainly because the E30 is too unreliable and causing problems now and we need a 2nd car between us... Though it is soon to be 4 vehicles again no doubt :lol: Hopefully the E30 might just last this season for me to finally get some drifting in and track time, dying a slow death from previous owner bodges basically, so we're keeping an eye out for a shell so it can start again and how it should be!

The plan right now is to make sure the G is all good and get it running again. Updates in the next weeks to come!

Future plan is to rebuild my old engine with a turbo and then take out this new one an eaton it and play between them both... But we'll see how cashflow goes and how much drifting will swallow my cash!

I would just like to give a massive thanks to Saf for hooking me up and I'm sorry I had to stand my ground on the deal but I'm glad you got something sorted :thumbsup:

Thanks to Yoof, was nice to finally meet you and we'll deffo be in touch for some services :nod:

No worries- Hope to see the Polo at some shows soon, like I said whip them injectors over and I'll check/clean them for you.

:-)

P.S- Turbo> Eaton 8-)

no worries muffin, you were the first person i thought of, as you know I've got a soft spot for your G. been too long since i was last in it!

looks bloody good after 9 months untouched and lol at pikey based fail! barstewards. got the bits here for karlos to take with him to d town =] x

om nom nom

Good to see something happening to this :D

looking forward to seeing this in the show season

woop shes back 8-)

GLad to hear you're trying again with it :)

Remember: fast and cheap=not reliable

Fast and reliable= not cheap

Car does look good for being left alone for a full pregnancy term (9 months)

Oh, and on an unrelated note... congrats on your marriage plans ;)

that is a beauty of a G, I wish I had the money to run one. and congratulations on the marriage

If you need another pair of hands to lend a hand, just holla. I'm sure Char would be up for a visit to casa de Dirrt at some point too.

I don't have your number Karlos! PM it me and I'll be in touch when me and Mike can pick it up :D
