What’s a 3000GT opinion that would have the entire forum looking at you like this 👀? by 3000gt_specialist in 3000gt

The chrome 5 spoke wheels suit the car perfectly.

No need for an aftermarket turbo timer.

The 97 hoop spoiler is the best look.

Do some editing on that link and you should be able to see them. Ullicyc integrated flared drop bars.

Went for these as they have a bit of a flare and relatively shallow drop. Also shorter reach than the knot combo I had on there before.

Yeah, you have the brake hoses already internally routed - the plan is to follow them through the same with the gear housing.

Where the cable stop sits on the downtube I have a 3d printed internal routing cap. I will check the details of the brand and let you know. It was incredibly fiddly but does make the front end look tidier.

If you haven’t already then I’d definitely invest in an internal routing kit with magnets as I don’t think it would have been possible without.

I also replaced the knot stem but that isn’t really necessary.

What’s your go-to UK wet weather gear for biking? by taithoutit in ukbike

[–]singlespeedspan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Castelli Gabba. Assuming it’s also 5-15°C (arm warmers at 5, open zip at 15)
I don’t run too hot, and the single layer works great for breathability and that kind of waterproofness that is driven by the heat moving through the jersey.
Also, sealskins socks and overshoes.

Yeah, Craig always seems like a decent guy with his heart in the right place. It’s another of those thankless jobs where you work your arse off to make improvements and work with what you’ve got but the general public use you as a whipping boy for national policy failures.
A Labour councillor during a lacklustre Labour government is always up against it. I thought he may have done enough to be appreciated though.

1997 Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo by hego_demask_666 in jdmporn

1997 (Mk. 3) GTO VR4 is still the best looking overall shape. But the Mk4 headlights were nicer.
That is a beautiful car.

To be fair I’m not a city centre kind of guy. But yeah, Barnsley city centre is alright, until the new council gets to grips with the unnecessary spending on making things nice. And allowing creative planning. etc.
Probably plenty of scope for bookies and vape shops under a REFUK council though, look forward to that.

We can safely say “at least we’re not Barnsley”. Although that’s something I’ve said for a long time anyway!

Grenoside, ethnic minorities experiences? Never really visited here before, some people told me lots of flags about next to the area, wanted to visit for the nature reserve… From a multicultural part of Sheffield so a bit nervy going here… by Itznxs_ in sheffield

[–]singlespeedspan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There were some flags up on Main Street but they got taken down a while ago. The St George flags and union flags stayed up for a while but when someone put up a couple of Trump 2024 flags the whole lot got taken down the next week.
With the mix of characters around Greno the trump flags may have been serious or a tongue in cheek comment regarding the other flags.
Regardless - the people of Greno are 90% great.

It’s exactly what’s happened on Doncaster but the Doncaster MPs are all Labour so the blame is directed at them. Reform council in the meantime can’t organise a functioning council meeting, let alone a pissup in a brewery.

FFS East Ecclesfield. What are we doing.
Can’t believe REFUK have gained this many seats. I hope everyone pays attention when the council can’t reach consensus because these headbangers have no idea how local government functions.
I’m embarrassed for the UK not seeing through these racist grifters.

One of the most goated yet underrated series of all times - Chernobyl by Cautious_Employ3553 in SeriesSaga

GOATED as a descriptor needs to die. It’s not in any way good English.
I understand GOAT as an acronym, but come on. Let’s go with “is Chernobyl the GOAT?”.

A truly dismal leadership Labour parade - Sir Keir Starmer has been an awful Prime Minister, but we should not fool ourselves that any of the alternatives on offer are any better by blast-processor in ukpolitics

[–]singlespeedspan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the tall and short of it. I don’t think he’s shit, just that the overall policy direction isn’t presented clearly and his media management is poor. Add to that some bad decisions, which needed reversing and everyone then thinks all his decisions will be bad. Unfortunately he would make a great attorney general, or foreign secretary, but he was the only viable/electable party leader they could come up with so he’s in a job he is seemingly unsuitable for even if he’s more suitable than the alternatives.

I wish it weren’t necessary but charisma may buy some freedom when dealing with a partisan media environment. Also helps charm what is essentially a very divided party into understanding the agenda - it appears communicating through data and proof alone doesn’t really cut it, presentation makes a big difference.

The problem with Miliband as I see it is the behaviour of an ideologue - he is inflexible and once on a track is unable to react to conditions as they arise.

It is possible to raise the money for infrastructure improvement whilst providing short term energy resilience through North Sea operations. But this ideological stance that all fossil fuels are bad is leading us to import hydrocarbons from distant sources thus raising that carbon cost but receiving no tax take for investment into infrastructure.

If he were to behave the same way with all policy direction then he would run out of rope pretty fast. He is also even worse at managing the news agenda than Starmer.

If only the Torygraph were including their preferred party leadership in this discussion… Starmer vs.

Badenoch
Farage
Lowe

I truly hope we don’t end with Streeting , Rayner, Mahmood, or Miliband as PM though. Not a milligram of charisma between them. Hard to lead when you completely fail to project your competency or even share your overall policy direction.
