That could be said about nearly all lenses - and is usually a fault of the AF system in the camera rather than the lens itself. The only real problem with the f1.8 which makes autofocus a problem is the motor is stupidly slow. However how many people buy a dslr and a 50mm f1.8 and then try to...

It's not well built - but saying it's autofocus doesn't work is insane Plus its 1/4 the price of any of the ones you're quoting. For beginners learning how aperture, iso, shutter speed actually affect the photo - it's perfect

You're the first person I've EVER heard slagging off the 50mm f1.8 It's the best lens to start with - pin sharp, fast, cheap as hell

I'm not familiar with the 1.6 engine layout I know on the 2.0 you have to undo all the manifold bolts and move the manifold back out the way and then you can get to the starter from underneath. I did it on my driveway myself but it took nearly 4 hours and was a nightmare :(

Doh!!

This is looking awesome Good to see you got such a good finish with rattle cans - gives me the confidence I needed to have a go at mine when it warms up a bit :D

I've taken the sandwich plate off - it's definitely leaking from the rubber gasket between plate and block The only thing I could see was that the the nut holding the plate on was not particularly tight - I'm not sure if that's because the rubber seal compressed - or if I undid it slightly...

Filters on :D I'm not keen on the giant Pipercross advert - but it's a nice solution for now until I get measured up for an airbox later in the year. Plus there's loads of room for 120mm trumpets :D

I thought the only limit to video length was the memory card?

Ermmm well it lowers it as much as you want - they're coilovers LOL I don't have my rollcage fitted at the moment as it's out being sprayed - so the car is 60kg lighter than usual

Nah some sparco suede ones ;)

Look inbetween the middle 2 exhaust pipes at the back - theres a silver looking heat shield The starter motor is under that and the solenoid is on the top of the starter motor It's a very common fault around 70-80k - the heat from the exhaust starts to make the solenoid stick all the time The...

You'd bet wrong Bilstein B14 coilover kit, poly bushes, solid top mounts, whiteline ARB

Cheers DAR - I ordered some last night off the net, just thinking they probably won't arrive in time for putting it back together saturday Northloop - Thanks mate, I'll check them out at lunch time, they're literally 5 mins from my house so it'd be nice to find a local nut/bolt supplier...

Oh. Any pics?

1100D is a good little camera - does everything including HD video well enough that it'll be a year before you out grow it Also you can get some good lenses and then when you do upgrade the body the lenses will fit on whatever you get - so it's not money thrown away The only thing I would say...

I had my Dslr in the car but my fingers were too cold so I never got it out LOL If the weather is better next time I think we should all go for a drive somewhere and do a little photoshoot :)

Wow that's weird - mine I just undid all the screws and pulled the dash straight towards me then up and it came straight out - 15mins at the most :(

I drive mine with gloves all the time like Tony says - and when it's in the garage it has a cover on it That being said it's only a weekend car and I still get abuse from my mates for wearing driving gloves LOL

Ooooh yeah good point - cheers mate. Don't want to be picking bits up from the track afterwards lol

Ask Tony :) The airboxes provide nice still calm air for the bodies - whereas the filters are surrounded by turbulent air Probably in reality a few bhp difference if that - but the noise I suspect is immense :D

Cheers mate - people seem to recognise these style Or brass half nuts I've ordered a couple but they probably won't be here by the weekend

I KNOW!!! It's gutting having to cover them up with a filter lol

Had a s**t day at work and needed to unwind - so popped the bodies off the car and attacked the carbon airbox... Measured a million times - and made stencils - and then started drilling It was a bit of lip-biting, tongue out kinda action but all ended well :D I've made a hole in the...

Pics? No top part of the dash should be connected to the airbag module at all

Hrmmm a load of other people seem to have used them fine. There isn't a lot of room for a T-Piece as the oil pressure sensor is huge! :(

Arghh just seen there are some that use a double o-ring design Looks LOADS better - it was an absolute pain trying to get the flat oil seal to stay in the right place while I was tightening it up Might have to get one of those Althought saying that - the actual sandwich plate looks the same...

It was that design

Well it was anodised black but same design yeah - that sounds s**t :( Do you have a recommendation for a better designed one? I'll take it off tonight and check the gasket

The side of the rubber seal that goes into the sandwich plate is a double o-ring - but the side that goes onto the block is just a flat piece of rubber :(
