After A Particularly Bad Week - Something Has Cheered Me Up...


Recommended Posts

Autobots - transform!

Latest trailer with ALL KINDS of energon fueled goodness including some neato airborn transforming trickey by Starscream.

http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/17/transfo...-trailer-debuts

And, of course - a revisit to Juz's favourite My Little Pony :)

I hope it's as good as it deserves to be.

My only fault so far is that Bumblebee is not a bug, but a GM car.

I know that they gotta save costs where they can, but c'mon.

too bad this means that there will be no Mirage (F1 car), Hound(Jeep), Wheeljack (Lancia, I think) or Sunstreaker (Lamborghini).

You know, I'm probably nerdy enough to try and get some autobot badges made to put on my R32.

I've stopped watching all the trailers as I'm waiting for the movie to come out and don't want to spoil it.

Bring on July 4th already! :)

There was a poster at Village Cinema, saying its coming out on 28/06/07.

We get the movie before America?

Ive seen some transformers stickers appearing on import cars already haha

Man, I'm so hanging for this!

I even went over to my Dads the other weekend to find my box of G1 Transformers & bring it home, all packed up tight some with their original packaging.

Yes.... Im a geek, I know.....

well i was keen to see this when they released the original teaser...

but then i saw this...

a MICHAEL BAY film

and then i shunned it... and now... seeing the cast... its gone back to the back of the movie list of movies i want to see.

And yeah... not making Bumble Bee a bug... is about as gay as as gay can be

oh yeh is that rodimus prime or optimus?? i liked optimus better.

rodimus was a hotrod not a truck.

your thinking of Ultramagnus the other truck im assuming... was a car transport type of truck who took over when Optimus died

A quick check on wiki showed that VW and Porsche did not want to be involved with transformers at all, as they didn't want to be involved in "War toys" Apparently VW were happy to make Engines for Hitler, but not for robots that save the world.

So it seems that the evil GM might have just been a means to an end.

I'm kind of surprised they didn't make starscream into a MiG-27 or something, instead of an F-22 (to replace the original F-15 that all the "seekers" were) because as American movies teach us, American planes are only used by the good guys!

Still. Wish there was an R-34 transformer.

It's funny though. Transformers, technologically advanced aliens. Pretending to be American muscle cars with all the engineering of a toaster.

Ni - Normally I'd point and scream out 'geek!' - but I know exactly what you are talking about so I'll just stay quiet.

:D everyone loved transformers as a kid... wish i kept all mine. Think the only one i have left is Grimlock

"Grimlock angry!"

"Grimlock destroy!"

lol how sad.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
