Yeah unless you want to remove the whole front grill, i'd get the 50mm extension bar.

If you're spending that much money a separate 50mm extension will only be a few quid on top.

Most expensive oil change ever! lol

I prefer to make my life easier rather than slicing the skin on my masculine forearms because I was too lazy to remove the fuel rail guard.

Leaving the fuel rail guard in place is the hardest way of doing it, there's no bloody space to get in there as it is, leaving it in place makes it damn near impossible to remove the thing. A small socket extension will do the trick, but you'll have to put it in there by hand, then connect the...

I am very masculine.

Tbh any tool is better than nothing, you'll never get it off by hand. I thought I could just He-Man it off with my hand, but despite having put the old one on by hand, it had formed an incredibly tight seal that I thought even the tool wasn't going to move, i've also tried the screwdriver...

8mm square for the sump plug and that tool will work but I found them to be a right nightmare, the chain kept slipping and just ground the paint off, I bought one of these claw things that I found easy to use...

I don't have any brackets or ties with my V6 box, if you buy good quality elbows reinforced with wire they don't deform or bend under load.

It certainly revved better and felt faster but that could have been the placebo affect, but I gave my Mum a lift the day before and the day after I switched from ITG to Pipercross and even she said 'have you done something else to this car, it feels faster' and she's a middle aged women that...

Personally I don't rate ITG, their triple foam construction makes them very think and less free flowing than other filters, I prefer Pipercoss I had one as a panel filter in my standard box and have one in my V6 Espase airbox.

Yeah deals like that happen in the for sale section i'm afraid, best £12 quid you'll ever spend.

Such a nice car, now I can see why you weren't that bothered about getting rid of the 106.

If you wanted a standard airbox i'm sure someone would be willing to do a straight swap for your K-Tec/Fatty style kit, they're very popular on here and people are always looking for cheap mods that give gains, i'm sure someone with standard boxes looking to upgrade would jump at the chance of a...

Take a photo of it, i'd like to know what they all do including the t-bar ones and the unmarked armrest ones.

Is there an actual diagram from the install or the actual show that says what all the buttons are meant to do?

What does the Peng button do, attract all the ghetto slags?

Standard airbox will be the quietest, but what you've got is the best design for getting extra power.

Good stuff, I hope it's a strong one and has no problems for you.

I imagine it's some kind of film you put over the headlights. Edit: yep mesh weirdness.

I wonder if it's fast?

I can't see why anyone gives a sh*t what people think of their car, I just tell people I have an old 2.0L Clio when they ask, no one's going to be impressed by a Clio regardless of how good it is so I don't bother trying to explain, 'but it's a fast one and handles really well so it's no just...

It's special alright, special f*cking needs.

I know what you mean, i've had so many good memories in my car, it's been very reliable on the whole and has mods i'm happy with so I wouldn't want to get rid of it either, plus if the engine blew up i've got a whole forum of mates that would help me drop in a replacement so i'd only really have...

I'd say if the cost of dropping another engine in is the same or more than buying another 1*2, it might just be worth cutting your losses and getting another car, at least you can get a few hundred quid back selling the Cup, even with a buggered engine. If you can pick another cheap engine up...

What's massive oil consumption though, have you changed the oil and checked how much came out?

You can use 0W/40, 5W/40 & 10W/40, mixing any of those will be fine, If for example you've got some 5W30 then the viscosity will be different which isn't a good idea.

What issue, because that's the battery bracket that stops it from moving about. Is it the fact you can't get to it because the other bolt's in the way?

Or lack of, but there is something addictive about a raw little car that feels like it's going to drive itself apart, Ron will come back too, just a matter of time.

I wonder how long it'll be before you miss French tin cans and buy a cheap 1*2 as a track slag?
