Should upset the Ferrari purists.

That should be fun.

So what engine does it have and what bhp is it?

It was a Testerossa in Outrun, the car in the pic is a 348 spider.

Road trip with surprisingly few breakdowns.

The Fabia splitter is very soft rubber/plastic, you'll easily be able to make it fit, you'll just have to trim the ends off once fitted, but we all have to do that regardless of what Mk2 Clio we have.

This should divide opinion, yes he's 'ruined' a Mk1, but it's also f*cking awesome!

I've been running my 98ron mapped car on 97ron for 7 years, never had a single problem with the engine. It's runs like sh*t on 95ron though, only done that 2 or 3 times because I was in arsehole of nowhere and needed fuel.

Great episode, car looked amazing at the end. Sadly it looks like you need a terminal illness these days in order to get you car restored, lucky b*stards! Oh wait....

I have an Espace V6 box, but the K-Tec style (Fatty) IK is the one most people go for, produces decent power and sounds pretty good too, this thread has all the relevant info and links to the parts you'll need...

I'll await your 'The light came back on' post.

Just checked my old invoice from BTM and it says 'removed aircon and replace with AC delete pulley'.

I'm not sure I didn't really look that hard, just looked at the writing on the belt and went from there.

Cheers mate.

A few years ago BTM Fred did my belts and removed the aircon as it was broke, I need to change the aux belt as it's a bit frayed but on inspection I discovered he'd used a 1640 belt, the only belts GSF do for my 172 are 1125 1130 & 1660. They do sell a 1640 but they're for Audi's and BMW's...

If you car's drive by wire (the pedal sends a signal to the engine) they'll be a plug at the top of the pedal, you'll have to get in the footwell and have a look for a wire that plugs into the top of the accelerator pedal. If your car's fly by wire (the pedal's connected to the engine by a...

Mine has brought up the electrical fault light twice and gone into limp mode, everytime it's because i've knocked the accelerator plug with my foot, so I unplug it, makes sure there's no crap on the plug or in the socket, plug it back in and the light's gone and the car works fine, plugged it...

Some sort of classic car show at the nec today, loads of old stuff knocking about, but this mk1 Astra GTE caught my eye, the thing was immaculate.

Could he not get that amount of power of it without it looking like a bag of shite?

F*cking pot kettle!

Anything 80's/90's is rocketing in price, if you've got the money and storage space they're great investments.

WTAF!!! We could have had a whip round and raised that within a day.

How much did you sell it for?

Yeah it's not your fault Akay, it was beyond saving because of previous owners mistreating it, if it's anyone's fault it's McGherkin's for essentially taking the clubs trusted Golden Retriever to the rescue centre and letting any old f*ker take it, you ruined CS Callum!

German's love a denim jacket, it's like they're all stuck in the 80's.

Another possibility is a sticking rear calliper, so when you release the handbrake it's not releasing enough for the light to go out.

I had this, topped the fluid up and it went away, but changed the pads soon after and when I pushed the piston back in fluid overflowed out the bottle and the light came back but this time it flickered depending on whether I was accelerating, braking, or pointing up or downhill, then the other...

More of a garage episode this one, most of it is them rebuilding an engine and trying to bring it back to life, also no Finnigan this month.

Yep, i've not found any on mine, which means it doesn't have any. (in my mind)
