Black rev 3 tubby in shevington

[stuyw]

the meets are great mate, get a nice selection of jap metal turning up. Its not like a meet where there are booming sounds blaring or any chavs. Its full of enthusiasts who go. a few tubbys go too. We will be going about 7.30-8pm. if u wanna come down, give us a shout ok mate

have u got any idea where i can get the plastic clips that hold down the carpet in the boot. ive put a post up but no replies as yet

I think that a couple are missing and one or two may of been broken!!

[Hurstie1981]

Hi mate!

Yeah, ill have a see what im up to, would be a good laugh, was just worried it would be like a max flower session!

Im sorry i cant really help with the boot mate, ive never taken the carpet out, but id imagine the clips would be expensive, the little yellow ones are about £1 from toyota!

[stuyw]

its the little black ones, look like press studs. the yellow ones are fine
under the bonnet, they are the little ones that hold the plastic trim in also


ive been going to the jap meet for a few months now, and is always a good turn out. car park is always full

did u manage to get your car washed??, or did rain stop play!!

[Hurstie1981]

Ahh i know which ones you mean mate, and they are like rocking horse poo to get hold of, i snapped half of mine

Got my car cleaned nicely, was gleaming, if a little cold....my drive will be like ice later

[stuyw]

i thought that would be the case mate, just my luck

someone must sell them, or know where to get them from as what else could u stick the carpet down with??

did your drive end up being a skating rink then??

I forgot to ask you that while you had all the washing gear out, you could of done mine

[Hurstie1981]

I suppose you could get some form of velcro and attach it that way? You can buy sticky sided stuff from www.frost.co.uk

It rained last night, so no ice, but just a wet car!

Ive had enough of black cars, they are dirty as soon as you clean them....im so glad mines red!

[stuyw]

not sure if velcro would work as behind the carpet you have got a cardboard piece with the same holes in it that the carpet and cardboard pin to the boot, so id have to use velcro both of them together. if i get no luck with it, then i'll probably try the velcro

Its just peoples luck that as soon as you wash the car, it starts to rain . am beginning to think that buying black was a bad idea!! I'll have to take it for a drive on my day off as it hasnt been drove for over a week!!

[Hurstie1981]

I know what you mean about the rain, even in summer, i chamois the water off, then all of a sudden clouds start to gather! Damn english weather!!

[stuyw]

yeah, know the feeling, the 1st time i washed the tubby, i waxed it all apart from the bonnet, n it started raining

makes u tempted to go n move abroad dont it!!

hope it isnt raining on monday, but if it does, then its only a walk across the car park to the pub

[Hurstie1981]

I dont think im going to be able to make monday now, and i was looking forward to this meet too!

Ahh well, i guess there will be plenty more

[stuyw]

i bet your well gutted mate

is there any other regional meets n stuff apart from this jap meet that u know about?? Wouldnt mind meeting up with other peeps

[Hurstie1981]

Ive no idea mate, sometimes in the summer there is a meet up reebok which ends up going on a drive through rivington!

[stuyw]

alright mate, good to meet u yesterday.

you didnt miss loads last night, good turn out, but not as many as normal. That 500hp RX-7 with jap plates was there agin, n a few MR2 tubbys as well.

did u get all that stuff sorted for ebay??

[Hurstie1981]

Hiya mate, yep it was good to meet up yesterday!
Sorry to hear there wasnt a great turn out, i hopefully will be able to make the next one!
The ebay stuff is sorted now, just needs posting!
Give me a shout when you have decided on a decent head unit, i bought mine from these.....

[stuyw]

yeah cheers for that mate, i will do. probably treat myself for xmas n get a decent head unit instead of the crappy OE stuff . am sick of listening to radio 2

Hopefully there will be a better turn out once xmas is out the way. u going to any shows in 2006?? ive been trying to go to japfest, but ive always been working n missed it.

so have u decided where and what exhaust you are gonna get? might take a visit to blue flame in skem n see how much they can do. is it worth getting a de-cat pipe also??

[Hurstie1981]

Hiya mate!

Good on ya, im still trying what to treat myself with for xmas!
Im not sure about shows this year, all depends when im working etc, but there are a few which look really good!

I was looking at blueflame, they look decent and quite cheap too...and cheap fitting! Im not sure about decat, its meant to be better for performance but also increases noise. I had a mongoose on my old NA with decat and its was stupidly loud, even louder than my mates tubby with an aftermarket exhaust...go figure!

I was thinking about blue flame, i wonder if they can do a single exit one

[stuyw]

the shows i normally do are trax n max power (for the women and beer)
normally am at max power for 3 days as am in another club and we have a club stand outside . Wouldnt mind doing japfest and also Ten Of The Best.

What i'll do is give blueflame a bell n see how much their zorsts are, might get a bit of a discount if we both go? Will let u know though n see what they say if u want mate??. They can be loud of u get the full system. Ive got a full zorst on the corsa with no cat n thats loud, but not too bad at 80mph on the motorway, its just when u put your foot down, u need ear plugs
