Driving back from the birds house, thought id have a drive through town. These 4 youths in a red astra I think behind me most of the way up my arse a bit.
Comes to a mini roundabout signals right well before hand as im goin back round it to head home, turn 90 degrees and the fukers are on the...
I know a few people have looked into this before on the 16v or willy. .
I spoke to a firm yesterday who reckon they can do them no problem on the 16v for a very good price. He did mention i would need to get an inlet manifold though, and something about the wiring loom. im awaiting more...
have to say when me and Paul16v went for a spin the other day the valver looks mean as foook in the rear view mirror. No worder people just move over when they see em coming!

Thinking of selling the 17s as pictured below. Really dont want to..... but I prefer the drive on smaller, lighter rims too much!
Anyway iv got 5 wheels. All with brand new205/40/17 falkens on!
1 is a bit kerbed (spare) rest are mint!

Right I ordered one from BB with some other stuff and they sent me a low temp fan switch instead. im going to keep it and I aint bothered cos it costs a couple of quid more anyway.
But i still want a low temp thermostat but am a tight git and aint paying another £8 nearly just to post the...
Wanting smaller wheels than my current 17s as they affect performance too much for my liking. So I was thinking of willy wheels or maybe 16s in white, after seeing a few nice looking valvers on them recently? but im not sure yet. Want something light as the monzas weigh a bloody ton which...
What leads to buy.....?

Right first off i had my engine competeley rebuilt a couple of months back, cams, etc. Ran in fine, no problems, runs perfect 95% of the time.
One time when I went for a drive I noticed that everytime I dipped the clutch at a junction or had to stop the car stalled straight away. Instead of...
Hmmm, seems to be a problem having the tracking done on my car. Basically the bloke took one look when i was having new tyres last wee and said
"what on that? not a prayer mate"
Started the car up this morning and I noticed when i left for about the first 5 mins i could hear a noise sounded like a bike when pedaling backwards. Went faster when revved higher and after the 5 mins just stopped completely. Nothing else happened, was driving as should be.
Any thoughts...

Paul16vs car...
There was nothing in it from 30 to 80mph. He was up my arse in a 30 zone for ages then it went into a dual carriageway but it was still a 30 zone for 30 yards or so. he overtook quite quickly but was slowed by a car in front, so i followed and when the car infront moved over both booted it and...
Was going to work this morning. Have just moved sites so was a new route. Anyway was in the right lane of a dual lane road (40mph and my lane) and a coach was in the left lane trying to move over (signaling).
Anyway we were just approaching traffic lights and i didnt want to be behind the...
Just started the car up and it was caughing and spluttering like a mutha fcuker. Turned it off and my drive in now covered in what was half a tank of petrol. Bloody PBV piping has split. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Iv noticed when travelling between 46 and 48mph in any gear it feels as though the front wheels are vibrating. Can feel it under my accellerator pedal. Same with 2 different sets of wheels. Tracking?
My valver seems loads quicker on the standard 15s. I did 200 miles yesterday with the 17s on and have swapped to the 15s today. Just been for a drive and its definately quicker.
Only problem is they dont look half as good as the 17s. Cant win really..
Was driving round for a bit today as I was off work ill and it was a nice day. Anyway car was very hot due to weather and lots of traffic.
Pulled into tyre place to get a tyre replaced on one of my standard rims which was inside and nice and cool!
15 mins later I started the car up and it...
Iv got a LED near my electric sunroof switch which at first was flashing every 2 seconds or so, then it stopped and only flashed when i waved my hand in front of the untrasonic sensors. I think its for these as there is a larger one on the dash surround for the usual alarm stuff.
Today when i...
Iv had some work done to the car and its booked in at hill power next sat to be chipped. I know Nick doesnt have rollers so will it need to be set up on some rollers to get the best performance?
Iv searched my favourites but can seem to find the online tyre websites. Im trying to get an idea of prices.
Can anyone recommend a decent set of tyres. But cheap if possible. Best price Iv got up to now is £83 + vat each for Good Year F1s 205/40/17 but if I can get another type thats £20...
Just spent 3 hours getting it to look like that so thought id post a pic! Looks a lot better with the 17s on but definately reduced performance. Only put em on cos I got a wrecked tyre the other day and the spare looks minging. The tyres are about bald the standard rims are goin back on till...
Found a Escort RS Turbo on my travels today. Both kept in 2nd round the roundabout and he booted it just before I did. I had to slam the breaks on before hitting him up the arse after changing to 3rd. lol. Dump valve sounded nice though!
Got absolutely destroyed by a nutter in a saphire...
Iv now done the 1000 miles needed to run the 16v in. and in 1 week lol.
Anyway what now, do I wait till its had oil change, been checked over, and chipped etc?
Iv just given it some stick (well up to 6k revs anyway) and it goes like fuk, but I dont want to break it lol! Not yet anyway!
