Hi, I had my willy wheels re-furbed a while ago and I originally used 1 x coat of EGP and 1x coat of Swissvax Autobahn Wheel Wax before I put them of the car. I tend to wash them once a week maybe once every 2 weeks, but I took them off this weekend to re-apply the wax etc and still found it...
Finally got my pc yesterday, so I decided to give it a go on the bonnet tonight. First of all I use the SFX-2 Pad with Poorboys SSR 2.5, then a SFX-3 Pad with Poorboys 1. Thing is....the bonnet looks great now and it's nicely polished....but I can still c scratches in quite a few places. Would...
Hi....ordered my a PC Kit from Autopia on Tuesday this week....so it's been 3 days now. Has anybody recieved theres on a Saturday before?...cos it would be good to give it a go on the car this weekend as the weathers supposed to be good. :cool:
Hi, just wondering if it is safe to use a pc close to the edges of you panels, eg Bonnet, or does it tend to take off to much of the laquor. Would it be wise to just use a polishing pad instead of the cutting? Matt :cool:
Hi,
I'm condisering buying a pc etc to sort my cars dull paintwork out, but atm i'm a bit put off about doing it, cos I'm scared of removing too much of the lacquer. I understand that the paint needs to be measured in certian places in order to gain a rough idea of what the paints like. Is...
I've been considering getting some Wilwood 4-Pots for while now.....just wondering what peoples views are who have already bought a kit and installed it, and also....would it be ok just to buy the Wilwood calipers and use standard discs? I'm sure there must be a few people who have done this...
I lowered the rear of my car today, and then tried to adjust my coilovers to lower the front to the same height as the rear, but i'm really struggling to wind the coilovers up anymore that they are now....I thought I adjusted them about 20mm but the front did'nt look any lower. Should I...
Hi....does anybody know of any companies in Bucks/Oxford that can laser align and set-up the camber on coilovers for my MK1 cos I really need to get it done asap and I can't find anybody who will do it? Thanks...Matt:cool:
Only had this weekend to clean the car before FCS as i'm on holiday the week before....cleaned, clayed, polished and waxed. Wheels are looking Sh!t...but i'm getting my re-fubed willys back tomorrow, so that should be a big improvement...couple of pics.
Washed and waxed her the weekend and fitted the r19 rear leathers...pretty pleased with em. Had the willy lump in for a few weeks now, and i'm loving it. Plans now to get the brakes sorted, cos one of em is fooked cos a bolt came loose...getting the wheels re-furbed in gold...and may be dropping...
Been thinking of buying a sat nav for a while now, seen one in halford for £129.99.......has anybody bought this, if so is it any good? I'm on a bit of a budget so cannot really splash out about £300 for one. Cheer, Matt.
Here it is...
Hi people,
I've been thinking for a while now about a 2ltr Willy coversion for my valver, as I have gather from other threads that that is the way to go for better power gains and incresed modding. Has anybody had this done by Hill Power, if so what does it include, e.g fully re-built willy lump...
Tried the Megs Clay system this weekend, and followed this up with AG super resin, AG Extra Gloss Protection, P21s Wax as recommended by r-jay:D. Very pleased with the results, but noticed some fine scratch marks which the clay had left, after it picked up some crap off the car:o. This was soon...
Gave my valver the full treatment over the weekend, washed, clayed, polished, sealed and waxed. Was quite time consuming, but well worth the effort. First time i've used clay, was well pleased! Poor pics due to light. Opinions welcome:D
What are peoples views on the best induction kit for a valver? "Best" meaning one that draws in the most cold air into the engine. I've been told that the standard airbox and filter is good and would be an improvement over my K&N. I've been looking at Pipercross and Hill Power. Cheers, Matt:D
Hi,
Just wondering how I find whether my valver has been chipped or not, e.g. where its located? Is this generally refured to as the ECU? Cheers, Matt:D
Driving home tonight I was going over a roundabout and just bashed into the curb next to it, kerbing the alloy:mad:How hard would you have to hit a kerb in order to do some damage to the suspension?:o What would the signs be, car pulling over to one side etc? Cheers, Matt
Got some Autosol today from halfords to clean my Magnex exhaust up, pretty impressed with results, pics bit crap though! Highly recommended:D

Hi peeps, took my filter off today to give it a good clean but decided to snap the two plastic hoses that go into the filter!:mad: Does anybody know if I can just buy the two plastic parts or do I have to buy the two hoses:(. Pic attached of the two plastic jobbies;)Don't u just love it when...
Hi people,
Today I tried to change my morette headlights to angel eyes and removed a wire from the main beam to main beam on each headlight and then to the battery for the morettes as the angel eyes have the standard headlight connectors. Having done this my alarm and locking now does not seem...
Hi people,
Just wondering what cambelt kits people have bought for their valvers, a kit being a belt + tensioners, and where from? I need to do mine pretty soon. Is it worth spending a bit more and buying a competition belt for extra piece of mind? Any help would be good, cheers, Matt;)
Just wondering if anyone on here has tried fitting r19 seats into a valver, and if so how easy/difficult was it to do? I think u have to cut the frames back don't u, Cheers, Matt;)
Thinking of getting some of this for my valver to draw cold air from my front bumper to my K&N filter. Just wondering if anybody has done this on a valver at all and if so, have you noticed any significant diference or is this just a waste of time? cheers. Matt.;)
