bump?

obviously I won't be using wd40, just said that the motorex oil I got is somewhere between wd40 and engine oil thickness wise.

LOL thx! oil is a lot thinner than engine oil but a bit thicker than wd40 let's say. so I guess it's ok

you mean foam/cotton air filter oil can be swapped? can't buy from halfords as I'm not from the UK

it's a 750 ml spray and doesn't look sticky or thick (I test sprayed it on a piece of paper)

I know the procedure, just wanted to know if the oil which apparently is for foam filters can be used on cotton filters like the BMC

wanted today to get the bmc air filter cleaning kit and the supplier said that it's out of stock so he recommended me the Motorex air filter cleaning kit instead. being a well known brand I went for it. the thing is, the label says it's a foam air filter kit and the BMC is made from cotton am I...

I had all the powerflex kit once, now only antiroll bar plus dog bone. no difference, maybe a little more precise handling but hard to tell if you're human the ride is the same, I heard all sort of stupid stories like "it will make your teeth hurt" and so on. maybe on a normal car but if you...

believe him^

I did, here in Romania at least :D doesn't look as good as the one in the OP but it's ok

We found a company claiming that they could uprate the box to be about 20-30% stronger but it's expensive. more expensive than the vag box conversion

cost me about 30 quid

I payed about 115 euros for the magnecor ones. oem are 1bout 145 euros here (from renault dealer)

handcrafted by a woman? of course they do

looks like the demand for the red ones is low, blue ones were available straight away. so it took some time for "julie" to make them ;) at least I had no problems in these 2 months with the old ones

fitted these today after 2 months of waiting for them and they're made by Julie :D the length of about 2 of them is a bit off but they fit nice and the car runs well

I will speak to the owner and ask him. and yes, it will be a hydraulic clutch no, because the fly along with the clutch kit are on their way. once we'll have the fly the spacer will be machined. yes there will be a trigger wheel on that pulley on the other side and the sensor positioned.

or you can use the original ECU and have a custom vag flywheel with 60-2 pattern teeth on the back, which is not that simple to do.. an yes, we have the drawing ;)

some recent updates: the adaptor plate is done, so are the hybrid mk5 gti/renault driveshafts (no pics of them yet) there are also 2 custom mounts that you'll see in the pics just ordered the 36-1 trigger wheel and sensor today. the trigger wheel will be bolted to the lower crank pulley once the...

pm you email address and I'll ask the owner for the latest details and keep you posted

yep^ you'll find scoff there too. he helped us a lot with our project

we are using a 02M 6 speed gearbox from a 1,8T seat leon. will post some pics soon enough when the box will be on the car (waiting for the clutch kit and flywheel for the moment) there is a GTT using the same combo (f4r engine plus vag box) in the UK (scoff's car, he's a member here too)

to better understand how the ET is measured check this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offset_%28wheel%29

et 36? no, the non cups 172's are et 48,5 (phase 2, can't remember ph1), the cup is et 38 so 10.5 mm wider on each side. and the trophy wheels being et 45 it means they give a narrower track than et 38 (the smaller the number- the wider the track) of course, trophy has different wheel hubs...

positive. negative offsets are quite rare

true LOL ;)

an extra 10 mm for example won't do that harm I guess though. 25 mm on each side... I don't know

curious to know what would be the excuse for renault not making the cars like this straight from the factory if it rides better (I'm not being sarcastic! just curious)

I had a bent damper shaft. that gave me smth like 1 degree neg on one side. changed both front shocks and it was fine after
