Wanted one of these for my Mum, but ended up getting her a B5.5 1.8T 20V auto because it was an utter bargain, bloody love Passat estates, massive amounts of room and comfy as f*ck.
You should bring them to CSF this year, CS meets are a good laugh now, at least the yearly trackday/mega piss up is, unlike some of the socially inept car park weirdo ones we've been to.
It really is a f*cking work of art, I know it's essentially your Dads, but you need to convince him to bring this to CSF one year, it will definitely win best non Clio, plus i'd love to see/hear it on track.
It happened alot on track last year, I did think maybe the powder coating was expanding when hot and unwinding them but as far as I can tell they're standard Oz F1's that still have the factory finish, but for the same thing to happen on standard 172 wheel after was odd as it had never happened...
I thought torque is torque, but even my daily wheels came loose with the torque wrench, gunned them on and they haven't moved, it's possible I have a dodgy torque wrench but I could count on one hand the amount of times i've used it so it's essentially brand new, but as you say guns are far...

Dafuq!?
Anyway, replaced my rear shocks today, f*ck me it's only when you bolt new stuff on you realise how f*cked the old stuff was, back feels planted again.
Yeah track days are about to become the dog kennels reason for being, so portability is a must.
Air tools will become a thing in the future once I get my car port built down the side of the house, but that's a way off yet.
I'm not a skin flint, but obviously i'd like to spend as little as possible for a good all round gun, it need to be able to do up wheels bolts so they don't come lose on track days, (using a torque wrench at CSF last year had them coming lose after 5 laps) and it needs to be able to get suborn...
Working on the driveway fills me with dread as I usually end up swearing at parts that won't unbolt, bleeding from my hands and generally feeling less than useless and not a real man when I inevitably give up and sulk, so rather than struggling away with hand tools or making @HMS Derv Destroyer...
I was just wondering if anyone thought a tools and garage equipment sub forum in the technical section was a good idea?
I need an impact gun and it crossed my mind that i'd have to start a thread in General Chat which didn't seem like the right place seeing as it's basically car related, i'd...
