    my v8

    Firstly, I would suggest using the classified forum for this, and secondly when you make a new topic or reply to an existing one there is a box below the 'post options' area that allows you to attach files directly. I would suggest this is the easiest way to get pictures into your post.

    Cheers :)

    edited to say that I just noticed your post in the classifieds (doh!) but that typing it all in capitals makes it really difficult to read!

    thanks mark . i know its all caps but it was copyed from existing text & i didnt want to retype it all..

    ive got a r34gtr skyline at the moment, there a good but dont believe all the hype , to mod it in any way your looking at a shed load of cash, a descent lump and box will set you back around 4k , then you need all the rest of the electrics to make it run,, however the scoob may be a good choice, a 95/96 or such jap import sti spec scoob will blow your socks off, youll need to uprate the oil pump but thats about it you can get them for about 5k strip out what you need then sell off the rest, should be able to do it for around 3k,

    the scoob i had a 98 version 4 sti import is was far quicker than my skyline gtr34 to 110 and alot cheeper

    where in berkshire?

    There certainly doesn't seem to be much in Berkshire itself - certainly not at the eastern end of the county. I'd second the vote for the area between Dorking and Guildford - some good lanes along there that I did last weekend. I think most of Berkshire is too heavily populated for there to be much, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

    do you go on your own or with a club ? can anyone recommend a club for me?

    That pi55es me off with ebay as well. If I've gone and bust something I want a replacement now, not having to wait 10 days only to find I've then been outbid in the last 30secs and have to go to the back of the queue again.

    I guess for the psychics its great you can buy in replacements months in advance at knock down prices but doesn't work for me.

    while im having a moan why is it every thing i see that may have some promise is in scotland!

    hay LR90 why dont you sell me your nice little yellow pick up .as your in hampshire & im in berkshire i wouldnt have to drive to far to get it either :D

    help me find it

    In about 6 months i should have my 1992 90 rebuild finished and up for sale.

    It's going to be a truck cab, in red, HD suspension, military rear roll bar and 300Tdi/R380 with disc brake back axle. B)

    at this rate i may still be looking for one in six months time . iv tryed emailing sellers but most want to let there auction run so im left waiting around . as you can proberley tell patience is not a virtue i have .

    help me find it

    i might take a look at that . every one seems to be putting them on ebay . :glare: i hate ebay you see what your looking for you wait 10 bl**dy days for it to end & then somebody comes in & bids way over the odds for it. dont any body just set a price a sell there bl**dy cars anymore . ok rant over.

    wolf. what do you think?

    in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)

    all good points. but i do have to say again ALL the parts except the chassis are wolf. the company who are selling it are the ones that built it. they had a 90 chassis & all the wolf parts so they built it . and have been using it for a couple of yrs . i dont think i will buy it because its over priced , but if the price was right i would have snapped it up. the head wins this time
