I use imgur nowadays, but any image hosting website other than photobucket

I remember asking in the past when this initially happened but I've forgotten now, is there a way to restore all the pictures without transferring them all?

Theres an add on/ extension that you can add to either your firefox or chrome browser. Wont work on iOS (not sure about android) though. Thatll only fix it for you though, not joe bloggs browsing through your thread that doesnt have the extension. So youd need to edit every post with a photo if you want everyone to see, unfortunately. I believe the links were posted in the Off Topic section somewhere.

Gills pal log onto a pc, download the extension then right click save all the images when at full size

Forgot I hadn't updated this, car appeared in the December/January issue of Banzai magazine, as part of the annual Tora Tora Banzai @ Crail which took place in May or June last year

That didn't work
How do you upload from Imgur?

Re: FULLY FORGED - New pics of the car (page36) + 1/4 mile times
So looks like I've found the issue of flames flying out the engine bay, a nice tiny crack in the PP manifold...

All removed after a bit of a headache getting to a couple of awkward nuts/bolts.
Now with my trusted metal works guys, hopefully be back next week and ready to refit, will take the car down to them once it's back on the road in order to fit a bracket somewhere to take the pressure off the manifold.

Good luck with the work going on.

Received my new vband clamp, the last one (3") was tight but felt it was only tight at the last turn of the clamp, so got a 2.75" fitment to try.
Still need to order nimbus heat shield to replace old one and I should really go and pick up my manifold soon aswell
Still on the to do list:
*Order nimbus heat shield.
*Refit manifold and turbo kit along with heat shield.
*Have rims polished properly then rebuild wheels.
*New tyres to mount to wheels
*Full geometry set up.
*Refit some of the interior.
*MOT.
*Full detail of car.
Might make it on the road for 2019

Hope you are keeping well mate and enjoying the weekend sun. Be nice to see your car back out and about.
Re: FULLY FORGED - New pics of the car (page36) + 1/4 mile times
All well buddy, hope all is good with you too
Going to pick up manifold this week, hopefully have it refit at the weekend
If you're near Glasgow over the next few months, drop me a message and I'll take you a spin

Re: FULLY FORGED - New pics of the car (page36) + 1/4 mile times
Got the manifold back a few weeks ago, refit and drove as expected after a service, never fails to put a massive grin on my face!
Not had much/any time out with it, however took it to Scottish Performance Show at the weekend with Street Kings, a club which consists of some absolute machines.. S15 with LS V8 dropped in, 600hp supra, R32 GTR amongst them, and we won BEST CLUB STAND 2018
Anyone that has me on Facebook can see some pictures as I've gave up trying to figure out how to post pics here now

Re: FULLY FORGED - New pics of the car (page36) + 1/4 mile times
Just realised I had never updated this build, shortly after the car show I took the 2 off the road and stripped it due to a looming house purchase.
I also had to get a family car which was a 2007 Mercedes ML63 AMG, an absolute machine but was plagued with issues.
I also got a fiesta zetec s again as a runabout, then got rid of both and got a 450hp BMW 335i M sport, another nice machine but just didn't connect with it.
Sold that and ran about in the van for a few months, purchased a running celica GT4 WRC ST205 as a fix up project over winter which I still haven't touched
I then bought a 125cc Honda CBR125rr on impulse which I've riden 4 or 5 times.
I finally got another ML63 AMG, this time a late 2014 (last of the ML), all singing all dancing in diamond pearl white, black 21s, pano roof etc.. I absolutely love it, different animal to the previous model I had!
So why have I posted up? The thought of building the mr2 back up has crossed my mind
I still feel as if I haven't got the full potential out of one yet, if I'm to build this one back up, it will be on the basis of aiming for silly power, other option may be to get into GTR ownership in the form of R32/33 before they take a massive hike in price again like the 34 have done over the last 6 months
