I checked and checked again there not being crushed and there not rubbing either but im not too keen on the design. Im getting my lines re done tomorrow as there corroded :( going to see if my mate will put 2 kinks either side of the u clamps so the pipes are in front and no chance of rubbing...

Cheers mk1 has been my prode and joy for 10 years, there will be a few updates on that in july. All will be revealed soon on the graphics front

Im sure i read in someones thread the other day they moved the damper alot further up and it helped reduce vibration more than the recommended position. Cracking little car,i think your build has swayed me to definatly spray the floor, as i too like a more complete looking car.

Cheers. ive ordered standard top mounts for time being, bit of a cost saver to see how the car does over the next couple of trackdays. In due course i will most probably go the full coilover route change all the top mounts and get a brace. Do you know if i can fit a brace on the rear as i...

I Didnt want drilled and grooved as i like matching front and rear disc's (must be some sort of ocd) but i couldnt turn down the price :) Now this is where things got interesting, upon closer inspection i noticed this :( Some idiot has obviously cut off a siezed bearing i can only imagine...

UPDATE NUMBER 3 Some good stuff happened and some bad stuff happened :):( Tonight was the night i had booked in with a mate to get down his garage and use his ramp. Things started off well with a surprise early package from ktec racing, which i swiftly loaded into the car on route to the...

What a plonka, surely common sense would of said put the spring on the right way.

Just order some jelsol after reading your thread for the tar removal from the sound deadening, will see how good this stuff really is. ;)

Feels good now the car has been mapped with the decat, it feels alot more aggresive right through the rev range, no flat spot either. just need to get the weight down some more.

Very nicely specced car, quick time for oulton park, what the next set of plans?

Cracking little motor looks in good condition

Quick update as i sit here eating my last burrito :smile: INJECTORS, LEADS AND COIL After the the car was mapped on saturday the ol girl decided she wanted to run on 3 cyclinders on the way home with a flashing eml 😧 what with spa looming ever closer i decided to go and order the lot...

Cracking colour when polished. Bit of a wheel whore i see :)

Ive had a look around since owning the car and im fairly certain they have been done. Time will tell, if the car stays for long enough i will most probably do it myself for piece of mind.

Cheers not a bad little motor few niggley bits but she will get there.

Car made a healthy 183hp and 163 ib ft As this week drew to a close, more parcels kept arriving, (not to the wife's amusement tho) new ad08r's arrived to replace the shocking ns2 road tyres on it. Fitted a sunstrip too. Satin blacked my front grill and washer blanks as they had turned grey...

Amazing thread, Amazing attention to detail hats off to you sir.

Looks like complete wrong shaft and an aftermarket boot aswell. top is original. getting a refund and will go through k tec me thinks.

car will get more than a chopped flange soon if this carries on Another thing seeing as these are second hand could it be that the company put a new clip on the boot and that the clip is too far up the shaft, and has caught the block and twisted the boot. the clip on inspection looks new and...

Driveshafts, i know its been covered 1 million times but im completely lost and need this sorting. this is the 3rd shaft from a company and i dont know whats going on. i have given my reg too so im wondering if the car has differnt hubs or something. Reg is YD05MBC i was told by previos owner...

I currently have both gti for daily and 182 track car, both cars are worlds apart but both are fun to drive, the clio i love as you can just thrash the nuts off it and puts a smile of your face, the gti i do feel needs a remap to make it a bit more exciting tho.

Just read through your build Hats off to you mate stunning car and a weapon on track
