Kisses Alex Sooooo, another little update So, bottom end seems to be breathing a little heavy at the moment. I am not sure if this is down to where the oil return is plumbed in, or whether the rings are fucked. I will do a leakdown test this week. In te meantime, homemade catch tank FTW...

3 in a row I think mate. The last owner I spoke to him the other week and he was moaning about wanting his stereo back. He can f**king have it. That badly wired sack of s**t was the reason the battery kept draining. f**king speaker wires used for power :mad: It's on the mend now anyways

Havent done much since the last update. Got the car running, but the idle was fucked. Dragged it up to Chorley St Garage in Bolton with the AA man behind me in case I broke down, lol. Its been set up for now, but needs a proper set up by the likes of MSD or NMS, which it will be getting in a...

This could be something so simple as the OP has cut someone up and not realised. They have noted the car and then seen it parked up. Revenge dealt. Gutting, but so easy to happen without a garage

Actually made a full on mess in my pants!!! That is a credit to the RS badge mate. Stunning example. Oh, and ABS will be belts round the inner CV joints near the gearbox. Its an AWFUL system. Most have been ripped off now.

Chip and Gally making me cry here with the S2 hated in full force, lol TBH, if I had the money, I would have an S1 instead, but they just command too much money for what, essentially, is the same car. Then again, if I was paying £8k for a nice S1........ I would also be interested by some Q...

Is that yours Marc??

So, little update Got the head back on Downpipe wrapped Threw it back on Kent vernier involved Told my mate I wanted a standard rocker cover to replace the blingy s**t. What does he bring round Piece of junk. So a quick brush with the good stuff That will be being painted up soon...

Looking good. Coupe shell will be sooooo much better looking

Totally standard............... bar a bailey header tank, dumpvalve....... Not standard then

Ive got an MSD uprated job going on, along with a low temp thermostat

And uber comfortable, even on long journeys with the touring cushion that pulls out the bottom to under your thighs Ive bought a darker cloth 88 spec trim for it too, so I can swap and change as I please

Christ Nick!! I paid £30 for head skim, £30 for headgasket set and £14 for headbolts, lol. VeinAST, how can you say the trim is drab? Best recaros EVER in the RS Turbo

Well, this fucker is testing my patience already. Did a compression test and got 150psi, 150psi, 100psi and 60psi. So, sothing was fucked. Wet test gave the same results, so I knew it wasnt bottom end. Dropped the water: Oily film on it, yet no mayo on dip or filler caps So f**k it, ripped...

I loved my VR, used to rev like a b*****d for a V6

OK, so a quick update. I got back from Egypt and the car had been MOT'd. Lad was due to deliver it at 5pm, turned up at 8:30pm. So I was annoyed/impatient as it was A quick test drive round the block and it pulled like a f**king train. Peaking 11psi, holding 10. Rand like a dream. No knocks or...

Yep. came with an LSD from the factory. however, many got binned and replacement xr3i/diesel boxes put in by folk/garages who didnt have a clue

Surely a little interior panel fab would be easy with some filler? I remember I used to build boost gauge pods back in the day, and will have to fab up something for my ACT gauges in my new RS

I really dont undertand the folk that say "they werent good in their day" How many of you lot had your licence in 1990? Or even 1996?? They had 132bhp, recaro seats and an LSD as standard. They would trounce a Golf GTi 16v instandard form, let alone after a couple of tweeks.A totally different...

LOL First thing I said when I opened the door. Who the f**k are you?? LOL The swan was sold a long time back. Never heard anything further on that. Shame, was a powerful beast, but that was broke more than mine ever was!! Used to chew through boxes like they were cheese. Maroo is collecting...

So, I sold the Monaco 172 to Mark off here, a local who lives on the same street as Jesus. He seemed pleased enough with it, and I was a little sad to see it go. However, that evening, I was on my way to Blackppol (Essex of the North) with a fist full of cash, but reservations in my mind. A...

ewwwww, not gloss black. That would look uber cheap

Jay, there is a silver 182 on an 04 plate in the fiat garage in Bury for £4k. Looks proper tidy. Not sure on the miles. Doesnt have cup packs, but a spoiler and splitter arent dear, and you get xenons then too

I prefer the black strips, breaks it up a little. Lovely looking motor though

Get a couple of us like James Read, Edd, Jon G. The would be Cup, Monaco, LY and Trophy. Nice array of colour

Aye, tailgate looks fucked too. Grab a second hand one

*generic "timing will be out" response*

Photoshoot sometime soon?

It's not even going to snow. End thread
