And uber comfortable, even on long journeys with the touring cushion that pulls out the bottom to under your thighs
Ive bought a darker cloth 88 spec trim for it too, so I can swap and change as I please
Christ Nick!!
I paid £30 for head skim, £30 for headgasket set and £14 for headbolts, lol.
VeinAST, how can you say the trim is drab? Best recaros EVER in the RS Turbo
Well, this fucker is testing my patience already. Did a compression test and got 150psi, 150psi, 100psi and 60psi. So, sothing was fucked. Wet test gave the same results, so I knew it wasnt bottom end.
Dropped the water:
Oily film on it, yet no mayo on dip or filler caps
So f**k it, ripped...
OK, so a quick update.
I got back from Egypt and the car had been MOT'd. Lad was due to deliver it at 5pm, turned up at 8:30pm. So I was annoyed/impatient as it was
A quick test drive round the block and it pulled like a f**king train. Peaking 11psi, holding 10. Rand like a dream. No knocks or...
Surely a little interior panel fab would be easy with some filler?
I remember I used to build boost gauge pods back in the day, and will have to fab up something for my ACT gauges in my new RS
I really dont undertand the folk that say "they werent good in their day" How many of you lot had your licence in 1990? Or even 1996??
They had 132bhp, recaro seats and an LSD as standard. They would trounce a Golf GTi 16v instandard form, let alone after a couple of tweeks.A totally different...
LOL
First thing I said when I opened the door.
Who the f**k are you?? LOL
The swan was sold a long time back. Never heard anything further on that. Shame, was a powerful beast, but that was broke more than mine ever was!! Used to chew through boxes like they were cheese.
Maroo is collecting...
So, I sold the Monaco 172 to Mark off here, a local who lives on the same street as Jesus. He seemed pleased enough with it, and I was a little sad to see it go.
However, that evening, I was on my way to Blackppol (Essex of the North) with a fist full of cash, but reservations in my mind. A...
Jay, there is a silver 182 on an 04 plate in the fiat garage in Bury for £4k. Looks proper tidy. Not sure on the miles. Doesnt have cup packs, but a spoiler and splitter arent dear, and you get xenons then too
Car went for it's MOT today, and failed.
1. Rear N/S tyre, below minimum (it's actually just above the wear marker)
2. Rear isofix clip broken so not holding belt in (but on looking when I get home, there seemed to be a small ball of paper rammed in there, hmmm)
3. Near side headlight beam too...
Fire up the car, unplug each injector one by one. If one of them doesnt make a difference, thats the one that needs replacing.
Get one off here from someone breaking, or from clio spare, fit yourself. Should take 30mins max. It's only 2 bolts holding the rail in
Or close by? I dont mind driving a little.
Got my MOT in a few weeks and need a new pair of cables throwing on (which I already have). Will supply beer or beer tokens
Saw one of these the other day, being driven by an asian gentleman.
He was leant so far back he was looking through the rear side windows, and it made an awful racket on vtec......... went nowhere though
Mentalist
You're going to be throwing money away
lay up insurance for now, take your time with the manifold. MOT, Tax and proper insure once it's sorted as spring is coming up
