Re: New to Forum, just put deposit down on 172 Cup, please help with couple of questi Timing belt/cambelt are the same thing mate. Usually the aux belt is replaced at the same time as the cambelt as it needs to come off for access.

Nice, love Inferno. I would have chosen satin black though.

very nice. will look good parked up next to your neighbours GTR

:( bad times buddy. I'm sure it'll be back to normal soon!

Ah well, at least yours will be rare.

Looks alright. You should have taken it off first to do a neater job though... and cleaned under it.

You won't be able to access the marketplace section until you become a full member, but there are often spoilers and splitters coming up for sale.

Yes.

Mine's a June 04. Is yours a sport? Get it mapped! (although mine's switched back at the mo while the warranty work goes through ;))

What colour are the wheels going?

Yes, brute force. Wrap a screwdriver in a microfibre cloth and lever them off from starting at the back first and work your way round the bottom. Or if you want to do it the hard but safe way, the whole bump strip needs to come off to give you access to the clips.

serious response.... 100% get the dephaser pulley changed at the same time. I paid out for both belts to be replaced and the dephaser went 2 weeks later, so I sold the car.

cambelts can talk?

Mileage like mine is nothing mate... just make sure it's been service properly and it'll be solid. Although saying that, there's a nice whistle from my turbo at the moment... warranty here I come :)

That looks incredible!

My local halfords still sell Hammerite HT paint in Satin Black. I've just bought some.

hmm... how long would the replicas last though?

It's not your head unit is it? The CD players do that.

Is that an old school S4 in the background? Awesome! :approve:

The CHs are indeed awesome, and look great... but c'mon, who actually pays £1600 for wheels apart from Neil? I've got some S-Line's lined up for it, just need to travel the planet to get them :) Yup, sure is!

Seriously, everything just pulls off. The hardest one is the steering wheel insert, you will think it's about to snap but it won't. You might find it easier to pop one side of the airbag off from behind first. Go carefully and you won't break anything.

Steering insert - just pull hard. Gear insert - just lever out. Dash strips - open glove box and pull. Diamonds - pull off. bullets - screwdriver to lever off.

8P S3 spoiler arrived yesterday. Not sure if I should have a go at painting it myself, or letting the pro's loose on it. It came pre-primed.

feet on the dash is fine with me, as long as they take their shoes off. I eat my lunch in my car every day, with my feet up on the dash.

It's odd they didn't contact your dad too... how do they know you hadn't just nicked the car?

So just to clear things up... They cautioned you for driving without insurance - Nothing wrong with that. They said you would receive a letter and 3 points - Plausable, but usually 6 points & fine. They let you get back in the car and drive home, uninsured - This just contradicts the above...

They can do what they like tbh, anything they spill/drop will clean up. I would never let anyone smoke in the car though, as I can't stand it.

Unlucky. They should never have let you drive the car back home! Did they caution you?

I like it, but it needs something else. I'm not sure what that is yet, but it's missing something.

that looks rubbish, far too low.
