was thinking about a mani mate, but its a lot of work... your cambelt due sometime soon? do cams and belt at the same time?

mine also used to stick, i lubed up the linkage and its been fine for the past 2 years or so

nope they dont need setting up mate, iv replaced mine and it was fine as soon as i fitted it, it sounds like you had an airleak,try it again

Just a cat back ATM mate, made 141 @ the wheels, 173.3 @ the fly, but its the wheel HP im interested in. also made 149 lb ft of torque, though my AFR's are all over the shop, shows how bad the std map is, so this has to be addressed Does the sticker give wheel HP or Flywheel HP? lol

def need the suspension sorted out fella Also have you thought of a cold feed system for the air filter?

well so far i have 141 bhp @ the wheels, within the next 2 moonths i have a target to get to, i want a min of 150 @ the wheels, and im planning to do it for under £200

Cheers sweetie :D xxx Roof and bonnet needs aolt of work, but at the mo its good enough, spending money on the paint wont make it faster lol

Nope its a 1.9 TDi mate, the valves are offset in the head compared to normal design

looks like it doesn't it mate

we had a MK5 Golf come in with heavy tapping noise, well popped the rocker cover off and it had snapped a rocker, smashing it into the rocker cover :eek: So whipped off the head, lots of bent valves and 4 pistons that looked like this

iv already answered that one for ya! ;)

i want to get it sprayed eventually but for 128,000 miles and being driven every day, it really doesn't bother me :) you wont be disapointed fella

yup mate lol and the edge of the bonnet and the front wings :(

had a good 2 hours of polishing today so here is how she looks: Also i have borrowed a set of rat OZ's off Nick P (cheers nick) While i re do mine, so here is a pic: and a pic of my wheels next to nicks to show the colour difference off, im staying...

i run tesco 99, as i work next to a tesco garage lol

mines on 128k now on the original lol, sounds fine, iv always thought the renault clutch was pretty good?

you wont have to upgrade bits if you do it properly mate, get a progressive controller so it doesnt all come in with one hit, pm MATT BLACK he has run nos on a 172

liking it alot fella, iv always had a soft spot for the ZS, when the VW lupo came out i went on the launch day, and we got to rag a few cars around,and one of the cars to compare the lupo with was a brand new ZS, and i thought it handled superbly

If its just the aux belt then £70 is cheap but do able, this will not include the aux belt tensioner though, as that is £100 on its own, and if it needs changing you really do need it done, so just check the condition with them

yup common, v power/ super doesnt have any effect on mine, but i dont mind it lol

thats a suprise mate, yours is a minter too

flippin eck! any details?

i think they are brillaint engines though, induction noise to die for! k series are a bit hit and miss mate, i have a mate with an elise and hasn't had a problem with it in 50k miles, where as my mates MG ZR 160 he did the HG twice in 40k lol agreed there mate, the 306 is a cracking...

good plan fella, maybe get rid of the sunstrip and single wiper too? bit 90's now lol can you post or pm me some more photo's? i think it looks really smart

that looks really nice mate!! a few touches needed and it will be perfect, id prob keep it

unless you have the right cutting tools i would get them pro done fella, its not just the inlet faces that get matched, alot more complicated than that again id say you will have between 142-150 bhp@ the wheels and yes the inlets are def worth doing

no mine is the same, if use the key it only locks one door. oh and guys if your key mucks up, you can lock your car, just climb in, leave whichever door open you have a lock on, press the c/l button in the car, then get out, shut the door, and lock the door with key, job done

love it mate, a really nice example you have there :) i WILL have another as soon as one in my price range crops up

yeah get it checked, you won't know about it till it brakes
