Re: Trax and a piss up 5th/6th September
is that his pet names for danny and gaz?
I'd only consider going if there are some other scots going for the convoy down, driving back up from fcs maself was boring as fuct since emma desided she would sleep all the way home.
Got my picsk on photo bucket, Not many clio pics, but about 100 in all, some ok others dire, bit like the cars there were nice cars on every stand along side some complete dogs. and the promo girls same storey there too.
The rallying was no bad even if it did cover everyones cars in about 1/2...
indeed, no probs you can have my copy of autoteam if you like when i'm done with it. it'd give you some pub ammo. it explains the internal gubbins of the LSD and the turbo etc, and lays out exatly what makes it different from an ST in prety much laymens terms.
i just need to fill out the quiz i...
its a shame most of the engine is covered by plastic. Was reading the ford autoteam today explaing alot about its technical bits and the revo knuckle, very interesting if your into that sort of thing, but had lovely photos.
We had a boy come in the other day there with one, not officially come...
wheels no here yet, apprenly coming early next week. there was some delay at the factory, something to do with the paint, but they should be delivered to my supplier to be tyre'd and balanced tomorrow or monday. thinking of painting the calipers red to match the springs.
well no quite but its certainly now as 4x4ish.
I finally got my springs fitted today thanks to my techs.
I suppose this thread is useless without pics so here they are.
As it was, higher than a ned on giro day.
the springs i went for are eibach sportlines, they dont make them for the C4, but...
i think it been the coils are tighter togethter at one end of the spring, which gives you a firmer ride through cornders and at speed but normal ride over slower bumps.
Ive got these on order, but i want to get some badges or stickers to cover the team dynamics badge in the centre, but i need to know what the diameter of the wee silver inlayed badge is usually i'd just walk in to halfords and measure them but they dont have them on display any more only the...
argos (no really) do a good torque wrench for about £20 (was £15 when i bought it)

the mechanics at my work use the same ones. they are checked for calibration...
there is a girl about my neck of the woods running an ST orange one i think its a rep, not a proper 172, but ut has black 182 wheels with orange diamonds and dark tints. it looks ok, but it does scream strathy cruze. i usually see it on the way to work every day coming out of a ghetto in...
Re: Bring on the trumpets! (RS content)
i think its basically wait till full operating temperature is reached before opening the taps. do not exceed 5k rpm and use no more than 3/4 throttle for 1000 miles. and i cant remember the exact specs of the oils, i'll post the update up tomorrow from...
Re: Bring on the trumpets! (RS content)
Nice, did you get the update put in your the owners book, IIRC the wrong oil specs are printed and there is revised breaking in proceedures/advise.
its not even put on properly. i have never ever seena valeter in any dealership doing a proper job. aye the cars look good from a distance, but the polish is applied in about 1 minute to the whole car, missing approximatley 30% of each panel and window. they let it cure then clean it off using...
vw's do nothing for me. infact the only vag i find mildly interesting is the leon. i suppose the problem i have with them is that the first word that spings to mind is sensible which to me translates to boring. but horses to course. if paul gets one it will sure be bloody clean but white would...
oops missed out bigger one for intercooler.
done some digging, turns out the 110 has different injectors(more and variable pressure) and a a variable geometry turbo, and has some overboost feature when when you nail it ups the torque, the 2.0 has the same but the 92 has neither.
aye although the hdi engines and the tdci engines are the same, ish. for some reason ford get very slightly less power out of them. (only a couple bhp)
the zetec-s has the low output enigine (90bhp ish) as the basic c4 like the sx/vt.
My c4 has the 110bhp version fitted to the focus ( the 90...
sounds like the havent put the wheel in the dead ahead posisiton and locked it in when they dont the tracking. your supposed to wedge this contraption that looks like a crook lock between the steering wheel and your seat to lock it straight. then they adjust the tow in or out at the track rods...
man the mk2 clios are looking dated. imean they are almost retro.
The new campus kinda looks asian to me, not japanese more like a proton or kia from about 5 years ago.
tbh if that had been done to a 1980s golf some of you's would be having wet dreams, it looks as random and half hashed as that rat look pish. i think he started off ok then it proably became a bit of a joke.
brother has the same dent in his clio, then 2 days later some on ran in to the back of him, but the insurers would only repair the rear end collision, he trie dto day the side damage was done at the same time but they said it was physcally impossible lol.
but from what ive seen it looks like...
i got mine off ebay, but it looks identical to the CYC and i4d one, when i got it it was really good brass fittings, but it leaked everywhere, i had to dismantle it and put a few turns on the threads with PTFE tape and a good tighten with an adjustable spanner and it was all good. the fit in my...
aye that was its good angle tbh, it had full flick paint but the front bumper was like the opposite form the rest of the car, it was green flicking red, and the rest was red flicking green. it was like lusties retared cousin.
