Re: 20th of november,sunday afternoon meet (3PM), Location Krispy Kreme's Trafford pa its not a show lol, pull up, park and chat... done :D

i want to drive it a wee bit this year tho :Dinsurance is pennies anyway so it doesnt really matter.IT 100% has to be moved from its current location in the next few weeks anyway. i know what im doing i was just wondering about the airbox thingy but for now ill just go filterless :D

EEK oh well only company that do 185/15s so i didnt really have too much of an option.. we will see

love it, get some nice wheels n slam it futher will be looooverly

We will see how they go but they rank ok these days on review sites and ALOT of the VW boys run them because of the sizes available. I had millenniums on the Z4 for 18k and ive never even heard of those lol . They wont be used in winter anyway just summer, but it they really are terrible ill...

I want it all ready for spring tho so I don't have to faff about getting it motd n stuff I can just pull it out n go :)

Do it it's great fun :)

so what lol, does that make a difference. Your all adults no point bitching about someone who ever it may be or the reasons behind your dislike. You just get on with it dont you :)LeMans hold some great memories for me from both years and i intend to carry on enjoying it :D:D

just because you didnt get on with them doesnt mean i didnt, they are good friends. Ill still be at LeMans what ever :D

no but its at my house in my garage behind 5 cars.. and it doesnt work lol im not sure anyone could or would want to steal it haha

Gray if its MOTd it can be insured, dont really fancy my price n joy being sat in a garage away from home uninsured

Re: 20th of november,sunday afternoon meet (3PM), Location Krispy Kreme's Trafford pa if im still alive after the BDC dinner dance on the sat night in coventry all come up :D..will the golf be ready... who knows

Goodj... have you read the thread at all... i need to come up with something temporarily to get the car on the road and MOTd so i can move it to its winter storage space... about 10 miles away.. at which point i can take the manifold off and get the machine shop to do the work .. as they have a...

there is no need for a buldge tho, the work involved would be intense and expensive, when compared the cost of having the manifold ajusted is minimal, the scuttle gets full of leaves, its not sealed so would be worse

as above... completely different

its yellow but its not bright yellow yes

coz a bonnet bulge would look shite and pikey and completely un nessicary sp* bot to mention a s**t load more work than just having the manifold modified

no they are at the complete wrong angle as it stands now, they are ment to be as close to horizontal as possible but bog bros insist that they are fine at this angle and they are the specialist so i belive them, i just dont think they accounted for the angle at which the engine sits in the bay

you think?think i can shorten the manifold myself, wont effecvt the angle but should bring it down a bit

i cant as the machine shop cant do it for a couple of months and i need to MOT the car to get it in its winter garage where i can take the manifold off and leave it with the machine shop

these have never been run with full trumpets prevously so that doesnt worry me too much untill the manifold is changed.. as for butchering the bonnet on a mk1 golf.. no ta haha,

im not touching the bonnet im afraid.
