N'eh worries bud, the walk through will be muchos appreciated. I'll give you a tinkle early next week re. the gaskets and also a link pipe.

I expected a catch and pass affair.

I changed the dogbone last month. I was thinking of the upper mount under the gearbox.

Where abouts was the spot Jamie? Only bit of motorway I was on today was the M621 and A1-M1 link road. Sounds like I need to stop posting pictures, I can't have people copying.

Lower as in dogbone. Not that one as I fitted a new one last month. The upper one under the battery but having read your description again, i'm guessing I won't be touching that one.

I'll budget a weekend then. Any chance you can supply the gearbox mount as well?

Where was the Trophy?

Wedge a couple of gummie bears between the turbo and the heat shield. On a serious note, why not remove the heat shield and wrap the manifold. It should crush though.

Fred, don't do this, you're scaring me. Any chance of a quick run down disregarding slicing the cat etc?

If I can fit a 172 cat' twice, surely I can fit a 182 manifold LOL. Have you got a contact number bud and i'll give you a tinkle next week.

Cost?

Is it literally drop/ remove the subframe Fred then unbolt the manifold, no other snags? P.S. Can I order those gaskets we spoke of?

The silver bullet: V6/Trophy jobbie.

Worn top mounts? Might just need a bit of lube.

2.5''

No problems as per running but mating stainless and mild would act as a catalyst for corrosion meaning the mild would rust much quicker than usual.

My 182 manifold and cat' are on their way as we speak. My BenR'd inlet and plenum arrived yesterday. 1st question: Shall I fit all at once ie. will the exhaust manifold me easier to fit with the inlet removed? 2nd question? What is the actual process for fitting the exhaust manifold? Does...

The interior on the Ibiza Cupra was poo.

Black looks so cheap in comparison to anthracite. It looks like a proper DIY job. Anthracite and lower all the way.

Repairable? Only looks like door and quarter damage from here.

As far as I'm aware. What would your best method for cooling be Freddy and I can cross reference with what he is doing now? He loves messing about with his cars so he doesn't mind fitting new discs once a week at someone elses cost but I think he's getting a little fooked off now.

I have Yoko A539's on mine. Sweet as a nut. I use a place in Castleford called Gordon's tyres for fitment although I believe they have a few sites, try it in Google. £30 for 4x old wheels removed, old tyres removed from new wheels then new tyres fitted and balanced with new valves. They...

Yep. He's had no end of trouble with them. His other motor is a 275 bhp G60 mk1 Golf which he built himself from a bare shell so he has a good idea as to what he's doing.

I sent Ibanezman details of one in Pudsey, he seemed well impressed. Try Chris on 0113 2363535. If you fancy a trip a little further out, there is a decent one in Kippax. My old boy recently had his Mazda 6 front and rear bumpers and OS doors sprayed for £300. Chris quoted nearer £600.

A mate of mine has Porshce calipers on his S3. It has been through 3 sets of discs in as many weeks as it just can't help but warp them.

Someones nicked your distributor cap and rotor arm!!!

He's busy sitting on carrots while dreaming of bath tubs made in Blackpool.

Edde would love to say 'I told you so', I'm sure. Lucky you caught it in time.

I had an RSTuning remap and gained 4bhp, and that was a good result with the torque i gained. 18bhp would cost at least £1000 and even then you would be very lucky.
