personally, if i had to choose someone make my car look like that, or burn 6k, id rather burn 6k, and im double that in debt !
all in all though im glad your happy with it mate, its took way way too long but its done now and you like it so thats that, everyone has different tastes
OE offset is 36
my valver with turbines, and willy wide track, is close to the arches, occasionally it does scrub full lock but thats partly due to the front tyres which are cheap and shaped like balloons, it will be fine i think when i put Michelins on
if you change the offset though why...
just for anyones information, these cannot work AT ALL on the early mk1 1.4 E7J engines and probably the 1.2s aswell, simply because of where you have to fit it, and the manifold design
i tried NGK BKR6EIX and although the car started a lot better, it didnt idle as well, looking at the gauge it was fine, but listening to the engine it was horrible, and ive had it cut out 3 times aswell which its never done before
bought another set of the normal BKR6EK plugs, put them in, and...
sorted
a few weeks ago i messed with the little 8mm nut which has a thread runnin through it, it controls where the throttle cable rests on the TB

under the sales of goods act, the product sold must be fit for the purpose it was sold for
this clearly isnt, your entitled to a FULL refund
i work in retail and i did a course on this a few weeks back
but with the Goodyears so cheap at the moment, why not spend the extra on something that will be a lot better in the wet, its probably less than £20 difference over all 4 !
i think ive figured out that its the bonnet switch thing
basically its all corroded, fell off, and not as it should be, so i think its randomly setting it off
gonna replace that asap and i just hope it works cos today its been doin my head in, wouldnt stop goin off !
well i work for Motor World mate, and feedback from customers who have bought them so far seems good
one fella bought one, then brought his mate in to buy another
