cheers guys, so what you all think of them, does it make it much better to drive? more like a go kart? how do you find daily driving? any bad points? cheers

ive got the tools, money and most of the knowledge (mates for the little bits i get stuck at) to do a straight swap to another 1.2 16v engine if mine blew up but thats the last thing i want for the hastle as edde said, it will never ever go 5 mins round the corner from your house, it'll go at...

what engine is yours 8v or 16v?

yep that was it im sure, well it was HT anyway cant remember if it was 53 or not, do you park there?

been putting off the idea of an aftermarket steeringwheel as most look out of place and people could think you were a chav for having one, but the bus wheel is anoying me more and more!! lets see some pics of your aftermarket steeringwheels cheers

mine sounds better and has a filter, read your thread to see what ive done sure i posted in it

yep lol horrible piece of shite, colourcode it again and standard lights and sort the front grill and it would look ok

get standard rear lights, get the bonnet painted lower it a bit more and it would look ok.

worth saying that these are very tunable engines apparently a guy from falkirk cruise has one @ 240bhp + a 50 shot of laughing gas lol

i done it for 10 minz loved the sound, took an angle grinder to the inside of the airbox and "modified it" best of both worlds now, the noise + filter + the noise echos and sounds mental lol

cheers mate, ill check the caliper and get some copper grease on it. so what im feeling is tramlining? its ok if im going 100% straight but if i move it slightly to the left or right the wheel starts to move a bit, its not dangerous or anything just doesnt feel as solid and planted as it did...

yeah tell me about it, on the stirling meet i was hammering it round left hand corners keeping up with the 172s but couldnt go fast at all round right hand corners because my passengers side front tyre was down at 26-27psi

cheers mate will play with tyre pressures tomorrow, what about rear? 28psi maybe?

yeah thought with them being lower profile and wider that was causing this, but surely 172's/182s arnt like this because my opinion is that it feels SHITE! but could it be down to mine having electric power steering? edit: 2 rear wheels were balenced last month when they got new tyres (only...

motorsport world are in scotland and done a lot of the guys exhausts from here (including alans old dynamique) £270 will get you a full cat-back stealth system that wont be loud untill you hammer it (but also stealth so you cant see it) and think £230 for a normal cat back custom one where...

brakes havnt been bled, new pads and disks about a month ago. (noticed i get a lot more brake dust on the passengers side wheel than i do on the driver side btw!) under braking it doesnt feel dangerous just doesnt feel planted and stable like it does with the 15s. when hammering down a...

some of you lot may remember i had 16" turinis but went back to 15s again after only a week as i hated the handling. now i put the turinis back on today, got the tyre pressure set up perfect, ive got s**t loads of grip but the steering still feels to light and "nervous" is the only word i can...

yep it was, you know the guy?

sitting in the carpark at the bus depot in stirling (near the retail park) was a 172 cup with a CS sticker in the back window.

15" all the way!!

good luck matey hope it comes out perfect! now you can get yourself to the next meet :)

id go for a MK2 DCI80 or DCI100 not a fan on the MK3, it looks ok untill i park beside one and my car looks like a Radio controled car lol

very impressive! that reminds me i need to take pics of my leaking apex dampers to send you guys lol

i cant go to falkirk coz i work thursday nights so dont get to the retail park untill about 9 how does the vid look when we all drive past the cammera?

you coming from normal 95 ron to v-power or from optimax to v-power, i find it hard to beleive that you notice a big difference? was going to fill up with it today but 92.5p vs 99.9 so didnt bother

depends on insurer/policy. check your documents or call them to make sure

195/55 matey going to 195/50 next tho!

ull get good at it eventually lol just push the car and when you think your on the limit push it further thats what i do!

that last backroad we on just after we got lost was mental, my splitter took a beating! dont know how the guy got the VR6 down there!

lol i forgot about the dude in the landrover even once he got past us instead of going onto the road he kept driving down the grass just to show off! the first time we got lost and turned, we had the sharp right hand corner (where ali had to reverse to get round) the guy in the white mr2 just...
