LOL! Loads of people on here, some of the most active infact, own mk1's, and everyone bloody loves 'em. Back in your box Welcome mate, get a project thread up and I'm sure people will be more than willing to help where possible :)

From halfords, if you must... 2 Buckets Real lambswool wash mitt (grey one from halfords is pretty good) Car shampoo, (I've heard lots of diff opinions on which ones, just pick one) Autoglym SRP Autoglym EGP Megs polishing pads to apply the above Giant drying microfibre (not halfords own, the...

^LOL! As much as I enjoy reading your threads, I can't help but feel envious when I get somewhere around the middle of them, the further into "bitter" towards the end. Git. P.s How do you know Joanna Sadowski?

Hey man, thanks a lot for your post, explained quite a lot, and hopefully helps a lot of others. Fortunately mine is nowhere in that kind of state, I've done about 100 miles in it since yesterday evening and it hasn't stuck, ONCE! :D To say I'm over the moon is an understatement. Going...

Cheers for posting that up mate, good work with the fibreglass stuff, it looks good and solid, could you fill the front of the crack with a bit of that, and then sand it down flat?? Where do you get the resin from mate? Any links? Thanks for the info etc, and good work. Cup splitter should...

WTF did you do to the poor lad?

How funny you should start this today, a good friend of mine designed this, on the front page of the Sun website today :) http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2895360/Blondes-iPhone-app-to-fire-up-lazy-fella.html EDIT: It's be pushed off the front page now :(

I think a guide would certainly be worth membership, write one, ten of us will chip in a £. Done!

I never understand why test station don't just do them with a decat, the MOT only certifies that the car was ok at the time of test, so as long as you don't get pulled and emissions tested as soon as you drive out of the test centre gates, (about as likely as Daniels garage standing up straight)...

Really like it bar the fog surrounds and rear badges... Fog surrounds may look better in person, but the badges arent for me. Out of curiosity, what did you do to adjust the clutch? And what did it achieve? Sounds like you bought it with some really good, money saving mods on it, and the...

Roughly 30 miles when the light comes on IIRC

Well I've just driven it to london, a journey which is 90% traffic, which normally causes at least 30 accounts of sticking, and the result: Didn't. Stick. Once. Seems taking it off and greasing it properly has solved it, but I think unless I get something better than WD40 it may just start...

Polished looks amazing, guessing it requires polishing with machine instead of polishing by hand though? (I know nout about metal polishing)

Yeah, danny checked it on the tb side whilst I pressed the pedal, once you let of the pedal, (when cold unfortunately) the TB returns all the way back, its quite hard to check when VERY warm as the engine is hot and getting the airbox off is a pain. Would it be worth checking then? As I can't...

lol! No offence meant mate, have you tried a proper tough wheel cleaner? Bilberry etc? Like the spoiler though :) Get the wheels sorted, lower it a bit, give it a proper clean and polish, and it'd look bloody beautiful.

Where's the after shots mate?

Keep it, do the plenum a variety of colours, despite it not going with your theme, its different. lol

No, tosser. ;) I took it off again tonight with danny, and greased it all up good and proper, just with WD40 as I didn't have anything else to hand, it feels better, a lot better. Journey to work will tell all tommorrow. If this doesnt work, the very last resort is trying to get the better...

Could be t4phy? This car was in sidcup gym the other day. Had a CS sticker too.

Mk2Ph1 on 60mm apex, not the best picture for how low it was, due to the angle, but its the only height to go for on a non sport IMO.

Looks in brilliant condition mate. Can't help but think the spotlines would have been a better option though ;)

Going towards London, around the Bexley turn off. Looked like white turinis? Tried to slow down so they'd catch me up, but you disappeared. Thought I recognised the car off here?

Ok dude, furry muff. When you wrote this, I couldnt decide if you were being sarky, as its quite a bit more than 25 mins iirc... but then I saw you wrote this... So I knew you weren't being serious ;)

Why are you sometimes down this way Joe? (I remember you saying you was in Eltham at some point) Where's karting? You could maybe make it for a pint or something.

Poverty was the only excuse up until now, I was buying a new car, poverty was to be expected. Now illness has taken over, I'll see how long I can pull off ill for.... T5, that sounds more like an offer than a question?

Don't start, I was very much looking forward to going, as I haven't had a chance to show off the new car to many people... :o Seriously ill, flu, of the man variety.

About 3:30ish, what times the karting??? Cheeky? Me? Never. P.s saw t4phy parked nearly next to me the other day at the gym, thought it was you at first, never been so excited in my life. Let down.

Please take a few pics on flat ground, as atm, it actually looks like someone has put the wrong springs on the rear. Standard wheels suit the flamer well, but the old ones were ok. Coming along though :)

If its not fixed, I'm driving sort of past newcastle next weekend, I'll find you..... I'll give it a go. Cheers mate ;)

Why not wd mate?? Surely its all much of a muchness? Or are there some specific properties which this spray lube has?
