Did scrape, even off the ramps, and the front has to come down more! Jeeeee, not gonna be a very good daily!
spinksy.. No way you're winning best non sport this year bro! ;)
Woah woah thanks guys :D
The bumper is all done, with the help of my awesome mother holding the torch for me :D what a babe,
the pink fogs cost next to nothing, of course I'm such a girl! That's why I have a twinkly badge! It's not the girliest of cars is it!?
and I do have 2 wipers but I took...
It's here! <3
put it all back together with new pink fogs..
PAIN IN THE BACKSIDE. Dont have a jack so i had to build some ramps to get up the kerb to get under the bumper!
Passengers wing is so hard to remove I'd rather poke myself in the eye all day long.
will be finished tonight, then no...
Right ill try explain this simply.. I think it's my engine mounts but to be fair I have no idea..
my gearstick has always been pretty wobbly when I accelerate but over a year it's got worse, sometimes it jumps out of 4th, usually only when I go over a massive bump cause my ride is very harsh...
It's never been on air ride..
Piers coopers silver Lupo GTI is almost identical, same wheels.. That's on Air.. Well was.
Daves 1.0 is on hydros and Chris Wards black 1.0 is on hydros too!
they all live in and around Alfreton :)
lupos- common as dog poop.
Erm yeah that is my car... he's my ex lolllll, and lupo is on hydraulics not air ride ;)
They are just resprayed lensos! Pretty deceiving now they're blue ;) just 7x15 ET34
Thanks, that was my reason to be happy "at least it looks good even when its stuck" .. Yeah probably I'm a proper...
Just gonna defend my tow strap here!!
today we received a lovely 4 inches of snow..
I got stuck on the middle of a hill almost sideways so I didn't slide back down..
i was stuck there for 2 hours, and the only way I got out.. Was cause a tractor towed me to the top with my tow strap!
IM SO GLAD...
I'm gonna have a look and see how much arsing about is involved:)
not bothered about performance though cause anywhere above 70 hardly ever gets reached, if I hit a pothole or a cats eye my spine gets absolutely obliterated !
omg hahaha, thats why you're on Air-ride's side ;)
chunky tyres ftl, i have 165/50/15's.
Yeah less than 10mm is scary low, my tyre sits inside the arch and my wheels lip is about 10mm below the arch, thats close enough to be impossible to use :(
You'd get more problems with pressed plates than 3/4, and even if they're stupidly illegal or missing on the front of your car you probably still wont get pulled because if you have a cop sat up your arse hes not gonna see the front, and if they're coming the other way they're not exactly gonna...
Insurance companies just take a guess at how much they should charge i swear, its bizarre.
They raised womens prices on the 21st December, i renewed my year policy on the 1st December! so i wont be affected for this years, but by the time i renew, i'll have 2 years no claims so it probably wont...
Yeah spinksy i'll be at CSS! of course, providing it doesnt clash with any other shows :)
Yeah i guess so, thats the one massive pain in the arse thing with static, once its set up perfectly to the mm, theres no adjusting it, meaning you cannot have any friends haha!
I'd prefer air for comfort...
Static will always be more impressive than an air setup, alot of people on air run like faggots when they're rolling and then just air out when they're sat still, anyone can get air.. now Havair retards have it on finance.. but it takes alot more to get something sat perfectly on coilovers :)...
entire thing, well if anything its cat - midbox. my back box is fine, my midsection is blowing and my cat has eaten itself, its just all fallen apart inside apparently from last MOT... just never got a new one lolll
my first year was £1050 on the 1.2, and my second year (this year) is £450.. i honestly have NO idea how insurance work out their rates, they literally just pull them out of a hat -.-
Oh right, well it sounds like a bit of a faff and I'd probably end up spending more money getting it to fit than just buying a normal one, I'm just gonna have to look harder! Thanks Alot though guys, was worth a try :)
This may sound so stupid, but would a completely standard 172 exhaust fit on a 1.2 ?
i have no idea if there's any difference in shape or the cat and I don't know what either of them look like..
I've just found a hell of alot more second hand 172 exhausts for sale than standard 1.2 exhausts and...
Airdi airthree. ;)
haha sucks dont it? yeah I'm sure you'll be fine, you're on 16's aren't you?
mine is just unbareable on cambered roads etc and the road to get out of my village doesn't even deserve to be called a road!
