Assume your gearbox has oil in it.

This post made me laugh :

I like how he seems to think a 2002 car qualifies to be in the classic car show, the dog kennel is a modified 2002 car, maybe I should roll up smoking a bong and get stropy when they won't let me exhibit it.

Yeah i'd have a look at how much access you've got before buying a tool, you don't want to be buying something you don't have enough room to use.

There's a few examples in this thread. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/which-oil-filter-removal-tool.799941/#post-11225063 You can do the old screwdriver through the thing and use it to unscrew it, but in my experience that just tears into the filter rather than undoing it.

For the sake of £12 quid membership you'll save yourself a lot of money buying a box off here rather than ebay.

I'd just stick a second hand box in it, they're usually £150 in the for sale section.

That is one clean looking car, love it!

Is Exodus working for everyone? It just keeps saying error for me despite it working perfectly yesterday, this did happen with UK Turk a while back and it sorted itself out after a couple of days.

Which one's yours, the yellow R?

Nice one lads, i'll get some ordered.

Thought so, there's no leaks, they don't bounce and they're not crashy, but after 9 years I guess they're just a bit tired, probably best change the fronts too while i'm at it.

Yeah it goes very light, it's fishtailing, the back end feels like it's trying to overtake the front, if I didn't correct it with steering input i'm pretty sure it would spin. No electrical faults other than an airbag light.

In fact it's all over the place under medium to hard braking, I know to expect it so I compensate for it but tbh it shouldn't be doing that, tyres are new, pressures are right, brakes are good, that leaves rear shocks? I was just going to fit a Whiteline ARB to fix it but if it is shocks that...

Mybe there's flex somewhere else along your exhaust which means the backbox doesn't get it, I replaced the centre mount with a new one at the same time and there was zero movement in my exhaust at all, so all the vibration now resonates through the boot.

That is a f*cking understatement, the plastic boot cover vibrates so much I can barely hear myself think! They're good if you're sick of having exhaust hangers sag and fall apart, as I doubt this one will wear out, it's bloody solid.

Right that's it...

You know we already have a Ford appreciation thread? If you keep starting similar threads i'll have to have a word with Admin about you.

I could have sworn I posted that the other day, i'm slipping, either that or my dementia has finally kicked in.

It looks cool, but it also looks forced, I prefer a more natural rat look rather than the I took an angle grinder to my car look, i'd still drive it though.

Has anyone else lost UK Turk? Is was working fine Sunday, but it now says playlist error and there are no TV shows of any kind anymore.

I use one of these claws, works perfectly for me, but at £17 quid I feel like a right mug compared to the £7 quid jobby above. http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/tools/hand-tools/halfords-advanced-adjustable-oil-filter-remover

Start a thread in your regional section and see who's about, they'll be someone willing to help you out.

If you can find someone with an RSTuner they can plug it into your car and it will show what map you're running, also if it's been cammed it will have a lumpy idle, although they have a lumpy idle as standard but the map tunes that out a bit, so if it's mapped with a lumpy idle it's possible it...

It'll sit at 1.1k on cold start up, then once it's warmed up a little it'll drop to 950, also it will have a limmiter in every gear, it'll just be a little higher than standard, but without redlining it in every gear you can't tell, which is why the cold start idle is the best way to tell.

That's a badass car! Done a burnout yet?

Bigger space for air to get up to the induction kit.

If air was leaking into the inlet manifold the revs would stay at 3k rpm, the fact it hunts for revs than settles down tells me it's not leaking.

Shut up.
