    Fitting engine mounts

    I get a knocking now in high revs in 1st and 2nd - so I assume that bolt has come loose LOL I'd rather not take the airbox off as it took me ages to get it all in - do you think I can get to that bottom nut from the wheel arch - and then locnut it back on?

    Fitting engine mounts

    Cheers lads The upper gearbox one has 2 bolts holding it in place with nyloc nuts on the bottom - what's the best way to get to these - is it best to take passenger wheel off? Also I'd read something about a nut coming loose on the upper gearbox mount that's best to locnut on - which is that...

    New seats

    I have to say I can't understand that Last year at French Car Show - I took my 106 Gti on track with all the 172's and 172 cups I had brembo 4 pots and people were locking up and nearly hitting the back of me It's not just about braking power with 4 pots - its about how they apply the...

    New seats

    I'd like blue 4 pots purely for show - loved the brembos on my 106 The recaros I've got in mine add weight, and I'm swapping the rear bench this weekend for a leather one. But as people have said - unless its going on track it doesn't really matter lol

    Help getting done by Adrian Flux

    Adrian Flux are utter b*stards for this I fell out with them a few years back for the same reason They offer good prices for first year - then massive renewals hoping people wont notice and just auto renew. EVERY year I had to sit and ring around getting quotes and then suddenly they would...

    Exhaust uk...

    Thats the problem with them quoting over the phone They will generally as default just flare both ends of the pipe and clamp it to bits of the standard system they cut off - saves making flanges and OEM joins etc.. So if you turn up and want it all doing as a proper job - the price usually...

    what to pay for a 172 cup

    Good choice - I sold my 106 gti 2 months ago and bought a 172 cup - you won't look back mate :) Basically the 172 non cups you can grab quite cheaply - but for a cup you're looking £3k upwards and for £3k it'll be quite high mileage and not the best of the bunch Try to budget £3500-£4k for a...
