Decided to bite the bullet today and buy a new welder. After advice on here i settled for an R-Tech 180 MiG. Ordered at 14.55, dispatched at 15.17 and will be delivered tomorrow. Superb customer service. Highly recommend (so far).

The reviews and recommendations are what drew me in. Yes there are more powerful machines, yes you can have a Murex this or a bla bla that....but something just attracted me to this one. Much more than i wanted to pay, but the warranty and versatility of the welder sold it to me. Time will tell if it is money well spent....i'm sure it will be.

I have used both the rtech mig and ac/dc tig, brilliant machines, even makes my poor welding skills look good. You will not be dissapointed.

Watching Guy Martin makes me want to build something and go over to the States and have a go.....but with 4 wheels!

Why not. Not sure what the classes are. And not being in any way rich it will need to remain a mere idea.
Also fancy going to Boneville speedweek too.

So annoying when an ebay purchase arrives and the muppet selling it hasn't wrapped it properly and is sticking out of the packaging and no bubble wrap!!!!

Ahhh...that lovely feeling when you get a minispares delivery....ruined when you open it and realise you've either ordered the wrong part (check) or forgotten to order something (double check)...and now with a Bank holiday weekend, deliveries go to sleep!!!

Mines Yellow and Blue.
Green also looks the nuts. 10 bhp increase guaranteed.

Not allowed to use them. I already have 6 for rallying, but at the price I got them for, another 4 can join the tyre mountain!!

Went to change wheels to discover the top arm shocker pin has snapped. 2 weeks since MOT too...MOT's are only good on the day they are tested...the other 364 days they are worthless. Anyway, nuff moaning, i've got a top arm to fix!

cheers....think i'll need to take the whole arm out to drill the pin. At least it's the O/S one....no rad to deal with

Didn't hear the pace note, but he cocked it up on the entry to the corner as he clipped a hole or a rock which started the spin. Doesn't matter, VW won and i'm VW through and through. Just wish there were more manufacturers running works cars...bring back MINI, and perhaps Toyota and Peugeot...even Lancia? And Audi!!! but that would be a VAG conflict.
