What size rubber is that? No-one is bothered by full lock scrub, just day to day over bumps and people in the back scrub that takes the piss a bit.

skin deep, I like those wheels mate, not liking the pics of UltraLeggeras i've seen

I wouldn't agree. Smaller tyre wall -> less tyre flex -> more direct steering with better response -> more positive turn in. I can see why heavier is worse, and I wouldn't consider 17s if there was going to be scrubbage! my 205 did that on 1.9gti wheels, not fun. I don't think many people push...

ok, i feel a little more enlightened. So perhaps a light wheel and tyre combo may be better. Is anyone on this forum worried about ride unless it gets ridiculous? I know I'm not. anyone else suggest anything?

I've heard this a couple of times now. People with 172/182 going from 16s up to 17s. I can understand that if the overall diameter is increased then acceleration suffers. WHY WHY WHY should it ruin handling. Especially if you use a lower profile tyre to get a similar(ish) overall wheel+tyre...

n-dre, that's nice work!

dont buy french cars!

he's fixed it now aparently.....well....i say fixed. The boy got handy with a crow bar i think. Although the key went all the way in the barrel was apparently ruined. So hes hot wired his own car and gone to get a new barrel. lols

nope, he says the key goes in all the way.

says on the ad for this: Directly controls iPod · Start/stop at selection/deselection of CD Changer source · Next/Back, FF/REW, Random/Repeat/Scan (if radio supports) · Direct access to the first 5 playlists by selecting Discs Now Does that mean that it will only play music added in...

+1 When you consider controlling the ipod from your head unit....an then consider how that is going to be done. Unless you have under 25 artists, it's going to be shocking bad. don't leave the ipod in the car overnight. :nono:they dont like the cold. trust

Wow, just looked at those connects2. Last time i looked at these they were like £200 now they are £60!

I dont think there is much to go wrong with the Mk1s, i think there ok. They certinally rattle less in my experience! Why has no-one considered the thermostat? If your thermostat is gone it will normally jam open and flow the coolant to the radiator from cold. So unless your in traffic on a...

They are SCHWEET

I'm a student. I've got a Mk1 1.8 16v and Just spent my savings on a 172 ph2 because it was a really good deal. Now cannot insure either of my cars and have £20 left available. They are both sat on my drive at home! Just off out to the bank to get my overdraft increased :S BADLY need to sell my...

Get an ITG maxogen if you can afford it, if not get an ITG panel filter.

Got a mate who runs it on a polo G40 turbo. He is running about 220bhp at 21psi and rates aqua mist quite highly.

yeah, I asked that too actually! he sys he is.

where is the best place to buy ITGs?

bit of a bump. Would disconnecting and reconnecting the battery solve it. I have no idea about steering locks myself

I've just had a call from a mate who is mega stressed out cos his Mk1 has jammed on the steering lock and he can't turn the key in the ignition. I went through the obvious (turning the wheel while trying to turn the key) but he says that didnt work and the wheel is locked up quite tight. Any...

I've got a sony. I can't find major fault with it. Could do with a few more custom EQs. Good sound

That's an interesting point. Probably the low pass filters that are fitted into most of the amps. Even this low end alpine 2 channel is fitted with a subsonic filter to protect the speakers from frequencies the human ear cannot hear. http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine-mrpt222-p-5748.html

The focals are looking like the ones to go with, can anyone else recommend em?

thanks for the advice I'll have a little look into amps

those Pheonix golds are stunning on paper! Low and sparkly range of 60Hz-24kHz 70WATT RMS !!! that is a hell of a lot for a 5 inch cone. In my experience, high power cababilities can mean that the bass doesent respond at low volumes. They seem to tighten the whole speaker and strengthen it for...

What's wrong with the amp in a half decent head unit? Amps = Quite a lot of f**kin about Cable ALLLLL the way to the boot and then ALLLLL the way back. That's not good for audio as it is! What would you go spending on an amp to drive 4 speakers then?

actually those Type Rs do look good. I had a mate who used to slate all alpine kit, but if you really get the wallet out I bet it's good stuff http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine-spr13s-p-5659.html

CAD are offering good discount on Boston acoustics SX50 Anyone have any experience of Bostons? http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/boston-acoustics-sx50-p-4620.html

alpine??? surely not
