I'd like a bit of advice regarding new paint & looking after it as my car cleaning/detailing skills/knowledge is limited to blast with snow foam, the wash mitt & 2 buckets method of washing, clay bar follwed up with super resin polish & extra gloss protection :blush: I've just had the front...

Try http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/ they should be able to find what you need

I'd say yes as it's a case of fit & forget and be left with a problem that you'll never have to worry or think about again. As long as you fit a sandwich plate with a thermostat that is

YAAAAYYYY!!! :clap: Now my life is utterly fcuked again as I'm desperate to see the next episode :cry: :banghead:

If the oil gets too hot it basically gets too thin to do it's job properly so could potentially munch the engine. With a cooler and good quality oil you can essentially just forget about it, not have to worry & just keep hammering the car. I did just that on my 1st ever trackday, paranoid as...

It's the same with mk1's of the high comp itb'd variety, the VAG (not sure if it's a polo 1 though) rads people use don't seem to cope very well, they're fine with standard comp though. Just 1 of those annoying extra expenses when going for the silly spec engines :)

Having itb's on mine makes it easier to get at the filter but it's a mk1 with F7 engine, filter in the same place as an F4. Must just be a mk2 problem then lol!

Filter & backplate from Jenvey http://www.jenvey.co.uk/ I'm a bit stumped as to why you'd need to remove the bumper to change the oil filter tbh :S but the parts to relocate it are readily available from rallydesign http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/index.php?cPath=340

I've got to display a tax disc sized parking permit in my windscreen, the funny thing is that the permit shows that the tax on the parking space at work has been paid for so can't escape the b*****d tax part of it :mad:

There's only 1 thing I hate about this, after watching the 1st 5 episodes 1 after the other, the wait for the 6th annoyed the hell out of me & the wait for the next installment is killing me lol!

I've been driving a gutless n/a volvo estate rammed full of tools & other assorted crap as my daily for a while so the mpg of the accord will be a treat :rofl: For me it's just about having something that's quite nice & civilised to use day to day but still interesting enough to have a bit of...

I'm on the ring road near city hospital, can take you for a spin & show you what to look out for ;) If it's any help, I'd take one of these over a 172 without batting an eyelid, it's a much nicer car to be in imo & the diff makes such a massive difference

I've been after 1 of these for a while now & this 1 came up for sale at a price I couldn't afford to say no to. Picked it up over the weekend & it has a few unusual goodies on it like a bose stereo & climate control from the type v, it's also got leather door cards, electric rear windows and...

The cable will work fine as it's purely mechanical, the wires are basically just earths & mk1's are total pricks with idle issues from dodgy earth connections but with it being diesel I've got no idea if it will have an effect or not lol! Here's the back of some valver clocks

I'll dig out a pic for you, the speedo wires cause idle problems on the valvers when they're busted/missing. The wires are actually on the speedo cable itself & plugs into the dash loom Can see the plug on the end of the cable here

197 is bigger & heavier so cancels out the extra power to some extent, cam timing could be out on the 182

Mk2 clutches are girly as fcuk though

That's not a bad result for a stage 1 map tbh, mine had a courtenay stage 2 map with supporting mods & made 253 bhp & 308 ft/lb

He's probably gone deaf from gas flowing a cylinder head for me lol

Not a lot of profit tbh, depends what condition it's in & what work is needed but good condition ones seem to be selling for around the £1200 mark

Head, cam & pulley are scrap. Bottom end is fine so nowhere near as bad as I 1st thought when it happened, will be back on track soon though

Exhaust cam decided to seize up & do this at around 100mph at Castle Combe

Was an epic day at Combe, the changes made since Bedford have completely transformed the car, it was genuinely fast & I'm happy as a pig in s**t with it :approve: Things didn't quite go according to plan though Exhaust cam decided to seize up whilst going flat out around Folly - circa...

Finishing touches done at 519 today and sat waiting for a day at Castle Combe tomorrow

I've bought 1 about 2 weeks ago but the cretin I've bought it off hasn't sent the bloody thing yet :mad:

It's called having balls, not that I'd expect you to understand ;)

Small update, finally got the engine back in the car, fully mounted to the subframe & I'm genuinely impressed with how solidly it's in there :D With the addition of a carbon fibre bonnet, we've managed to get somewhere close to 40kg removed from the front of the car and do something about...

The theme for his colourscheme is "As offensive as possible" :rasp:

Ouch! :( Sorry to be a vulture but are you selling the roll centre kit, brakes or bonnet at all?

Day before Bedford & we had some difficulties fitting the suspension Almost ready Comedy camber y0! Ride height set Made it to Bedford, successful day of testing & fettling and had a bit of fun in the process :D The modified rear beam has exceeded all expectations, if...
