In all fairness mate if you ever have any issues PM me...

Probably about to open myself up to a world of hate, but I'm a Field Engineer for Vodafone Fixed Line

This already happens where i work, customer orders 1Gb/10Gb Lease line, wonders why they cant get over 10Mb download when they're running 10 PC's and 10 Phones on a 24 Port 100Mb switch. Then the company i work for gets blames as 'it must be V******* as their customer service is rubbish' etc etc

Is it now a requirement for it to be working on the new MOT rules? When i was working around that environment approx 4 years ago a third brake light fitted but not working was only an advisory...

I had this when using First Line balljoints, the taper part that goes into the hub was too long and was catching on the driveshaft, this added extra pressure on the bolts which ovalled the holes, knackered the threads, and they were literally finger tight. Youd be driving along and the straight...

Thread resurrection! Okay so finally got round to doing a leakdown test, granted it was a cheapy kit from eBay, but no cylinder leaked above 5% (within the green section) with a slight noise of air from the dipstick tube, however this was done on a cold engine as taking an inlet of a hot engine...

Likewise in this heatwave, hands on fire! It does tidy things up nicely though! Theres a smoothie company (Think its Innocent smoothies?) that usually do some weird wooly hat things for their bottle caps, they happen to fit gear knobs just perfectly for winter!

They do look a bit gash in person, i'm pretty sure if you wanted to mock it up there used to be a seller on ebay selling the actual '4D' letters you could stick over your own plate...

Coax in Telecoms has plenty of different terminations we use. If you can find em something like a 'Type 43' would do it, you could probably bodge not having the tools...

Richbrook used to do a similar one if I remember correctly

Used to do this in a MK4 golf non-pd diesel (the 90bhp turbo) was noticeably smoother and engine had a quieter note to it so was a plus for me

The one Sunday I'm not at Yarmouth! Definitely keen for another meet soon though

FCS last year was the first time I've ever been on track and I'm happy to say I sh*t myself ? was definitely good fun though!

Last year when I took a mate on a passenger lap there was a Motorsports company who sell caterhams near the entrance, was a tenner I think, but with a £50 deposit

Thinking of getting tickets for this payday, got a bit of a question for those going on track... Says on the site noise limit is 98dB Flyby, now last year I did it on a fifteen minute session with a Ktec supersports recessed catback, but since then I've now got a 182 manifold and decat so I'm...

Hi All, Thanks for your replies! Living in Norfolk in my early twenties means it gets Better road and back road driven every day, up to near redline (never bouncing the limiter it hurts my soul!) And then rev matched on the way back down, NEVER flat shifted! I guess it's just me killing them...

@NorthloopCup are you still building boxes bud? I have a spare JC5-130 here

Hi All, So I think I've just killed gearbox number three. Fifth, Third and Second are whining like hell and will pop out. This rebuilt box (local firm) has lasted about 15k? The last box (KTEC refurb unit) lasted about 15k miles also, that one would whine in all gears and eventually would pop...

Definitely not cheap mate, like everything else that people discover fits everything, what was a £15 new trim from VW about 15 years ago is now around £50 from memory? For what is essentially a flimsy bit of plastic

There was a modified one at Players 2016. Looked fairly smart imo, never found out if the owner was on here! ^click that and have a looksie @STEVE.M in the flesh mate the exclusive seems to have a lot more blue tones to the paint

Looks like a Seat Leon mk1 Cupra R splitter that chap, another one of those 'universal' fit sort of things like the Laguna splitter that can work on anything it seems!

I've also recently changed the subframe on mine, and renewed ALL the bushes with poweflex black, and i have the same knocking i think, Acceleration, braking, steering stationary. Also feels like something is almost sticky when pulling away? Not sure if we've got the same symptoms...

That, combined with a mirror frame, with a piece of plexi or glass tinted with mirror tint film? Whack the brightness right up on the LCD to overcome the tint and jobs a goodun? Just a thought

Cheers for organising this @T9 0LLE mate, was good to meet some new faces. Definitely looking forward to the next meet up :up:

The 181 is the corrected power. I believe this is because say you lived at high altitude your BHP would be lower than someone with identical tune at low altitude? At least that's the explanation i got, it balances the playing field

Sounds like a deal to me! I've got to get mine back out on the road yet, went over a curb in the snow, bent the subframe on the wishbone mounting. Decided if the subframe was coming off to be replaced I'd fit powerflex black all round, 182 manifold, 182-172 link pipe decat, new starter motor...

Mines got a cracked arse and dent in the boot from the posts at Britannia cafe car park in Norwich, dent in the rear arch, standard ruined bonnet, oh and it's recently been keyed down one side 😂

I'm sure it can't look as rough and abused as mine mate, bring it out!

I think that might have been more the problem mate 😂

I'll make a massive push to get the 172 fixed and out for this weekend then! Might want to stick mine on the end of the photos behind a bush or something, she ain't a looker :wink:
