Hokay .. housemate has a laptop with Win:dead:7 on it .. the few times Windows has updated by itself without warning, it's been unable to log into the default profile so all files etc have gone. The first time it did this, he put all his files back on which took many hours, then turned it...

I'd avoid. Sounds like my old one TBH haha ! Tooooo easy to get an MOT from A.Blokedownthepub so he can sell it with 12 months ticket, then when it all falls apart 2 weeks later, you've got to foot an enormous bill or your own funeral. Plenty of cars coming up for sale. Keep hunting.

185 to 195 ? There's a 10mm difference in width across the surface of the tyre dyde .. unless you're rubbing the sump on the floor, there wont be a problem at all !!

Epic cars when done right. Stickers look great on actual rally cars when they're on the start line of the race. Not when it's parked up in Tesco.

Dearest SpongeCake... Locking wheel nuts should already be holding the wheels on. Might be a better idea to ensure participants have thier locking wheel nut adaptor in the car / pocket. ;)

I'd happily p/x YOUR car for a Trophy ;) I'd be getting a HPI done on that sharpish. Surely that's a couple £K off market value ?! Something's not right. If it's all kosher, snap it up and sell it on !

Don't stick the budgets on the front !!!! :dead: They cant cope with zero power input and zero steering .. they won't cope with all the engine's power and having to steer as well...

Vacuum + a fresh Magic Tree ?

Pfft.... I have a chainsaw. Why do I need anything else ? No sportlines FFS. Coilies and ARB. Done.

Possible issue ? Sounds like game over to me ! Hope they sort you out .. 3 days !? Oooft.

Why people put budgets on anything (aside from drift competitions) amazes me. Had the GF's old 182 step out on me in a big way at only 20mph in the rain. Did not need that at 7am on the way to work. "Infinity" branded tyres on there were comedy gold. Might as well have been made of wood...

I think .. I made the correct choice buying a wagon !

I've got PZeros on the front of mine at the moment and they're OK but nothing special. Only done a few miles in it as had it a few weeks, so no idea how soft they are / how long they'll last. Did about 10k on a set of Paradas, swapped over after about 8k front > rear, and there was LOTS of...

Without wishing to p*ss on your pancakes .. I think a meet at a pub would be preferred on a Friday night in February in the UK ;) If that's the car park I think it is, there's a McD's at one end, and a Halfords at the other ? There's got to be nicer places within a few miles for a pint and a...

14 months, 3rd set of tyres ? Good effort. Maybe your tracking is out .. are they worn evenly !?

Drop the pressures a bit ;)

^ Buy my Scoob.

You'll get used to it in no time dude.

Ph1s are much nicer to drive on anything more exciting than a trip to Tesco. But as mentioned, both of those sound like sheds to be avoided at all costs !

^ as JackJack says .. go on a nice long (>20 mile) journey. Get it hot. Get the revs up (when warm!!)... Pootling about nails engines :(

Doesn't sound like there's a problem any more. 5th gear .. 40mph .. put your foot down hard (accelerator not clutch!) and see if it hits the limiter before you get 100 yards up the road. If it does, it's slipping. If not, chill out. :cool:

Tidy !!!!! What colour are the wheels done in !? (Don't say bronze :o )

Did you get anyone's actual real life opinion than just CS internet engineers, who summarised that as you said the smell was like burning clutch, your clutch needed attention... or did you just go ahead and change it dude ? I know the RS's have a gearbox leak sometimes, but not sure it affects...

Plates now fitted after arguing with one rusted on screw last night .. had drill but no bits :o New plate by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr

Ah yes... I'm going to go back to sleep now !

Green one (pictured) looks fantastic even on 20s. Green standard one in RL looks AMAZING. See at least one at work every day.

Sticker ? :S

Without wanting to sound silly, do cups really look that different to a blue FF when lowered !?

HA ! Essentially yeah .. it re-flashes the ECU with a new map.
