for my birthday i partook in the RTOC national day at Blyton park. I used this as an opportunity to test my poverty spec engine build :p The car had done about 300 miles on the rebuilt engine, which in case anyone wants to know went against pretty much every rule in the book. I reused my 14k...

stunning motor, would make a perfect buddy for the turbo but alas my cash has to go on a daily sensible-mobile :-(

sat on 40.9 average over last 1200 miles currently in the 172 phase 1, that's sort of mixed driving, 12 mile commute on a roads, motorway stuff and b road blasts for a giggle occasionally

mk3 golfs are lovely comfy boats, but personally i'd never own one, enjoy being a passenger in a few of my mates ones over the years though :-) in other words, clio would be my choice, but again what do you expect, this is a clio forum ;-)

happened here a few times, we deal with batteries so acid spills occur occasionally and the company pay for any damage to cars etc, but from a purely legal stand point I have no idea how it should go tbh I had nasty one as well a while back , stupidly left the turbo uncovered whilst there...

its not a V, its a VR ;-)

yesterday I drove it to work, today I will be slackening off the cambelt as its whining and attempting to remove the frontpipe/turbo and manifold to sort the blow I have.

rofl, i ran a little polo few winters back, last thing to make it over cat and fiddle as it closed, whipped past many a more expensive motor with and without their winter tyres on, absolutely no problem at all, the skinny tyres cut through the snow beautifully, i think they were around 135mm...

cant get 10mm bolt on type hubcentrics as there isnt enough meat on them for the wheel bolts to then bolt to you need either eibach pro type which are hubdentric but none bolt on and then stud conversion ideally or longer bolts or rock 13mm. i have run the eibach pros with studs on the turbo...
