Haven't even thought about it tbh. I'd want decent money for it as I'm not desperate to get rid of it and it's got recaros, climate and xenon's which was damn near impossible to get hold of (I retrofitted the recaros as it was the easiest of the lot to retrofit).

To be honest with you I'm bored of it. I go away the first week in October and I'll be looking to replace it with a mk5 golf gti when I get back. The car is so so much fun, it's more planted than a 1*2, sounds better, is comfier, looks better but I just don't get to enjoy it like I want to...

Yeah it would. The yellow plug is for the stalk controls as far as I'm aware and it's the same as what you'd get in a non CD changer setup. As for the aerial I've bodged mine and it's come loose. I'm going to get a proper one fitted and made up at some point.

What was wrong in the end? Saw this at SC when Steve was working on my car Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Not that I disagree with you but there are people in the world who's circumstances match with the spec of that laptop and they will buy it.

Errrrrr why. What's the replacement?

Thing is, with the 197 they usually display something on the dash like "steering not locked" or "card not detected.". Is there nothing like that showing? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Meant for someone who will connect to an external display when they get home...duh.

Have you tried it with your card in the slot assuming it's a keyless one. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Figuring out why it won't start after a refit isn't too difficult at all so I wouldn't worry about that one. Fitting the engine itself isn't too hard either, just requires the right tools and patience. It's a simple case of methodically taking it all apart and noting it all down, then reverse...

You'll never get that to look right on that side. It's the passenger one.

Aren't they supposed to go on the other way? I might be wrong but that just doesn't look right. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Ed's gaz coilovers used to knock on his E21. It is seen as normal for them in the e21 scene and there's nothing can be done. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Dude they are completely different and they are both DIY jobs. Not sure if there is anything on the market though. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

They run like s**t cold. They really do. I'd say 160 is a SERIOUS overestimate on cold. I get out dragged by the wenches 1.2 corsa ltd edition. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Is this basically rollercoaster tycoon? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

You're not wrong there. It's a f**king spazzy system. I only use it to diagnose something my other code readers can't

£5 for general public? In our industry we pay £14,000 for an electronic link and £2.50 per reg to get the most recent keeper details back in 24 hours. Or no up front cost and £2.50 a go but 6 week turn around. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I know this isn't exactly what you're after but coming from a 172 with DS2500's and braided lines into a 197 with standard brembo pads and standard lines, and it being a heavier car the stopping force is far superior. Do want to try DS2500's braided lines and some good quality fluid in this though.

It's easier to find everything in Clip with the mk2 cars than it is on the mk3. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

As f**king obvious as that sounds I've never thought of explaining it like that. Whenever someone says "that's a lot of money for a phone" I always end up saying something daft like "well I use it for everything". Suppose most people wouldn't flinch at the thought of spending £700+ on something...

No one going to ask about the R32 SC conversion? Welcome. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Rears look great because you've got a black insert across the boot lid and not chrome. Think it needs the front grill trim swapping for black. Car looks a bit of an emo at the minute lol. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Say your alternator died on the way and was barely charging the battery. It's then not got enough charge left in it to start anymore next time you come to it.

Changing the battery and you'll be fine, but chances are it is the alternator. Also just to scare yourself have a look at the issues I had with my 197 earlier this year and the f**king disgusting issue I had with corroded can wires. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Replaced the camshaft position sensor. Car now moves faster than a 1.2 again Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Car said "Check emissions" Fault code said "camshaft position sensor" Car had no VVT and drove like a 1.2 Sensor changed Car back together Realised inlet gasket wasn't put back on Car back apart Dropped a spanner in the under tray Swore a lot Spanner retrieved Car back together Car working...

One of mine fitted. There are two different pro clips you can get for the mk3 but I much prefer this one

The brodit proclip is a specific setup that you get based on what car and what phone you have. The clip is based on the car The holder is based on the phone. You can get the holders with no charger, a cigarette lighter style one or with bare wires that you can hardwire into your car. Sent...

I'm using a brodit proclip with the inbuilt charger. Just ran it through the dash and piggybacked off the cig lighter. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
