Do you have an oil pressure and oil temperature gauge? It’s the only way to make an informed sensible decision. Mine was mapped on the hottest day of the year a couple of years back without issue on 5/40. Max oil temps were 121 degrees on track under maximum attack. 121 degrees is perfectly...

You can take a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.......

I’m on at 11am or 11:30am (can’t remember now) but I’ll also be there early and on the stand anyway. ?

Battery has died mate. It’s decided to have a dead cell just when you need it not to! Mine did the same thing.

Well you’d know about it if you stubbed your toe on that fucker!

Yeah how many people mate

When I used it on the AG, don’t get me wrong, it was good and the end result was pleasing. It hardly touched the golf daily driver though! Lol! I think that gives you an insight into how bad that was!! I had to give the entire car around 6-7 passes with a combination of yellow pad and V34, and...

Do we have any numbers for whose going from our region?

I bought that kit originally, and tbh, it didn’t deliver the results that I had hoped for. V36 however, was in an entire different league.

I use chemical guys V36 and a orange hex logic pad. Works wonders and does it all in one! It’s an optical cut polish, and I can confirm it does work wonders.

You can try, but it’ll pop out again.

Erm, it’s a box strip to do it

Or converting the diff to the bolt in plate like I do for people mate.

Well the ‘FF’ bit is worked out on the bump strips being colour coded mate. The cups just had poverty spec black plastic trims. As for the cup chassis, that’s gauged on the car having red calipers. Non cup chassis have silver 4 pot brembos. There’s a few other bits, but I’m just going off the...

Yeah that’s a FF with cup chassis mate. Take a pic of the back box and post it in here. I’ll be able to tell you if it’s oe or aftermarket.

Same shite diff though unfortunately mate. It’s definitely popped that n/s shaft circlip out.

If you’re like me it’ll be that you can’t be arsed to do the work mate. I could buy a non msport braked touring and fit them myself.............but I cbfa! Other items could be coded in at work with a bit of cheating...............but I cbfa! Lol

I can relate to this as well. Current daily driver is a mk5 1.9 tdi se golf. I’m looking for either a 320d touring or a 330d touring. Must be a certain spec as well, so Msport + pack and pro nav, plus a few other bits and pieces. Looked at a few now and nothing’s making making me want to part...

I used a nibbler to release the skin, then where it’s stuck to the bonnet itself, I sliced it with a Stanley blade to release it. Once it was off, I removed the remains with a razor blade scraper. Sounds hard work, but it’s a piece of piss

The numbers are on the underside of the casing mate: Let me know what numbers you find.

The 129’s, 130’s and the Ph1 089 all have the same 1st to 5th ratios. The 089 has a different final drive ratio though making it slightly longer. Not noticeable in the real world though. I would suggest checking your gearbox casing numbers to see if someone’s pulled a fast one and swapped the...

Yes mate still doing them. Drop me a pm.

If I’d seen this thread earlier that’s the exact thing I would’ve told you to do! Copy a scrap f4r piston!!

Yeah that’s what I thought you meant tbh mate, but better to clarify either way. ?

Interesting! Didn’t realise you could have it done!

@Plummer where did you get the belts from?? They look cool!

That’s all I’ve got.

After the ‘Ring incident mate, I fell out with it, so no I don’t miss it. Don’t get me wrong, it was a fuckin hoot to drive but having a/c in the 200 on days like this makes up for the power difference.

Took a nibbler to the inner skin and put it on aerocatches in all 4 corners. Weighed in at slightly heavier than a fg bonnet! Flapped like f**k, but never let go. Even on the limiter in 5th at 156mph. ?
