This is the only strut brace that actually does anything on the 1*2's,
but only because it works in conjunction with the top mounts.
Not cheap though, this little lot will set you back £245 quid.

It's had it's belts and dephaser done mate,
as long as it's been done by someone that knows these engines
then it'll be good for another 50k miles or 5 years,
mileage is irrelevant on these engines as long as they've been looked after and serviced regularly.
Those mods won't be making big...
If it's as he's described that and good car for the money,
especially seeing as the belts and dephser were done 4k miles ago and the mods aren't extreme,
they're pretty much what everyone does to optimise performance and eliminated the cars few weak points.
As far as insurance goes, that...
Top knowledge there,
the filler neck is designed to make syphoning the fuel impossible
and the rear seat bases are just slotted in and lift out so easily a one armed child could do it. lol
Get a fuel syphon and drain it from the top of the tank where the fuel pump is,
if you look under the rear seats you'll see a round rubber thing,
lift that up to get at the fuel filter, they're normally held in with a round metal bayonet ring,
get a flathead screwdriver and a hammer and knock it...
Oh yeah I wouldn't have done if there were cars coming in the opposite direction
as I knew what was going to happen when we got to the corner,
no need to inflict his idiocy on innocent motorists.
He just locked up and understeered across the road and ended up about a foot away from a tree,
all...
LOL you're not the only one,
I was on a B-road one time and an emasculated Dad in his people carrier was riding my bumper
because I dared to do 60mph and not 120, when a nice 90 degree bend came up,
he was obviously waiting for me to brake which never happened as I just threw it in,
I went...
We've all seen what happens when you go out for a drive,
people end up in ditches and you drive past and leave them there. ;)
Anyone would think I actually gave a sh*t what people do with their cars and time,
it was just a simple question. lol
Never, I drive my car every day and get to enjoy it's power and handling,
there's no point in driving randomly around for no reason.
Out of interest, how old are the people that go for random blasts to McDonalds?
Because I have a feeling you'll all be in your early 20's
and the novelty of...
If you're using the standard airbox there's not much point,
if you want a K-Tec style IK or V6 airbox then it's worth doing,
although saying that i'm using a V6 box and all i've done is remove the hoses,
the actual valve is still in place.
I can vouch for the boot being big enough to sleep in,
on a road trip in my mates 1.8 Sahp I slept in the boot and had a great nights sleep,
it's 6' corner to corner, there were 4 of us and I was the most comfortable out of all of us.
There's something wrong with me,
I get more excited over cars like the rusty Galaxy than I do mint polished trailer queens.
For some reason I can never embed Flickr images so i'll have to post the links of the one's I like,
well I like them all but I don't want to post every link you have...
I don't even have a tent anymore, I lent it to someone and they broke it,
good job it was only £20 quid, i'll have to get something bigger this time round,
there's no way i'm fitting a 30 kilo German Shepherd in a 2 man tent,
f*cker will end up crushing me.
