normally these type of kits are louder than your average BMC CDA or maxogen. You'll notice the noise, but won't notice the performance gain

No need to shout ;) tried eurocar parts / GSF outlets?

christmasface has now had a sneaky edit and I agree;) It sounds mega rich. Could be lambda, but I'd say i was a different sensor, MAP at a guess.

^ what he said ^ edit: not christmasface ;)

Oh right, that spark tester looks spot on. crank position sensor then? giving bad signal to the ECU for fuelling?

it hasnt been done give it a try

is it the imobiliser then? I'm just about out of ideas without it being in front of me. I've never heard of anyone using a voltmeter for spark testing. Thought that'd just ruin the voltmeter? Better to carefully hold the HT lead and see if it'll spark to the block. Should be able to jump around...

make sure all your headlight seals are in place before you do that.

It won't be the engine causing that problem. It's going to be electrical or sensor related surely. Can you post a video of what it's doing? ICV possibly? how bad is it?

this 2 seconds thing. Do you mean that you turn it over on the key and every 2 seconds it has a splutter? How have you tested the spark? Remember it's harder for the plugs to spark in the compressed air in the chamber. So if the sparks are ok, is it fuelling problems? When you fitted the...

the cutting out is likely to be a different problem entirely. More than likely the coilpack.

it's just MK1s (ie not a 172) that you need to worry about. But check the bottom of the doors (inside) and the jacking points. Are you good at rust treatment/prevention? A few tips/production recommendations wouldnt go a miss if you've got any :)

it's fine there, but the first trip you should make is to buy more oil. edit: yes you can mix. just get another 10W40 semi or fully synthetic.

If the spark only occurs once every 2 secs or so then perhaps the coil(s) are on their way out. Is the bad spark consistent throughout the 4 cylinders. And your not "new here" lol!

you've been ripped. That stuff is fine. 5w40 or 10w40 is fine. You will need more than a litre though. Basically, put that in and if the oil isnt in the safe zone on the dipstick don't run it. Also you need to check it frequently until you know how much oil it's using/what sort of driving uses...

agreed only one is rat and it's very forced rat at that nice pics imo

ffs! let down tbh. well over 1 month now ....i expected more from you ;)

And what do you know? Lets not forget your the guy who said that old oil is not compatible with new oil. Sell up, learn how to treat a car, then buy another. If you run with no oil, you'll need a new engine. It's really very simple. If it's not making death noises currently, it still could down...

Theres nothing wrong with old oil+new oil. You can even mix grades. Fact is you've run it with no oil and you'll be lucky if you don't need a new engine. Sell up

...I'll get my coat lol

pwned

can we just define the difference between driving lights and foglights?? Surely driving lights are just foglights that come on with full beam??? (as on the 106gti, 205gti etc...) So by re-wiring the 172 foglamps you are just turning them into driving lights? I don't see why thats so bad as...

give Ktec a call. I don't think you'll find anyone on here who has used "V-maxx" ????? I would imagine they'd be fine for slamming, but not so brilliant if you wanted to do track work.

dude thats going to be unsociably loud :cool:

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Thats not going to happen. We all know jord has better taste than that :rasp: Just a thought. Have you considered an F4R. I know the conversion is a bit of a ballache (starting with unlocking the ECU, then the loom) but the engines are far more common than original...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project so the options are £300ish plus fluids to repair (leaving dented pistons)..... or break it. With the effort of breaking isnt fixing the only way? Just really really unbeleivable bad luck mate:(. Hopefully with the cover off you'll get an idea of why the belt snapped...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project dude. wow. Gutted. that is really very unlucky. Could a stone from the gravel trap get through the cambelt gaurds?

i know they made some in black and LOL at that alfa 156. Every lap is another dissapointing FWD failure.

^ but is a golf going to be fun to drive? ^ Im not so sure. Was she the type? "yah yah yah, daddy bought me this adorable mini yah and it's just soooo amazing....watch this"

I'd have the RS definitely! really cool car. The new one looks nasty IMO. like a posh chav accessory
