Right. Seems no one is organizing anything so anyone heading to FCS Saturday morning? I'm going to be at magor services along with Sean and maybe Craig if he's allowed at 7am. ( could change to coldra, junction before as that's where mcd's is lol ) for 7am.
Anyone going... ? Or if there is...
Mine once did this. All I did was remove it from the car, cleaned all the plugs banged it back together and it was fine ever since. I have heard and seen that they do fail, how I don't know. Just try the cheapest method and clean it then see where that takes you.
I searched high and low last year before we went for a company to insure me and couldn't find a suitable cost which I could afford. I was being told £170 for the day etc, which in comparison to the cost of you having a bump without insurance is nothing, I understand that.
Anyone who enters...
I personally don't bother with insurance. I think it's possible to obtain but at a price. I run the risk knowing full well what I'm doing. Tyre wise I'm on R888's and was running 20psi to build too 27-28 on track. Had even wear all weekend with 14laps.
Imo it all depends on your tyre brand and...
He was on his way to Switzerland so didn't have time left to complete any more laps what with the closures. So we nabbed them off him for cheap.
Yeh ive seen the ones of mine, also seen plenty of yours also.
Haha. Yeh it's me... Your T looked nice. Had a gander 5-10mins before you went out on that lap as I ended up 5-8cars behind you whilst Q-ing on the roundabout.
As gez 172 said, Rs2'd.
I can vouch for them taking a lil longer than they said, but they so get extremely busy. The wheels I handed them was in an awful state. They told me they sat in acid for 2 whole days to try and lift the 23yr old paint, along with other layers that had been added over the years.
Yes...
Right, bought an Oem replacement trophy sticker. The current one on it has faded, cracked and gone yellow. At some angles you car barely see it.
Whats the best way to remove. Obviously without marking the paint etc etc. But then any tips on re-fitting it perfectly?
Help and suggestions...
R888s are immense, but. Horrible in cold temps (road) love finding tram lines. Once up to road temp their fine.
They love the wet, just not any surface water or standing water. You will aquaplane and shimmy about aggressively.
Brilliant tyre though IMO. They rely heavily on pressures though...
Good to here this. I used to run Pe2's constant. Very good tyre and wear was very good. Stop being made now though it seems.
OP, I too run 15"s, so much difference IMO, with it all being good.
As far as in aware mate the only real difference is when you feed the CC etc wires through. The ph1 has a very small gap meaning you don't fit it, or you very carefully trim down the plug to allow it to squeeze through.
Fitting wise etc, the same. Hope this helps.
Great thread here Tim. Just read from the start and enjoyed it. I also have a Rs2'd T, so that's another to the list.
Will keep watching this progress, also love the white on red combo, looks brilliant.
Just read this whole thread. You seem to be a knowledgeable bloke. Looking forward to seeing some final results though. Devon to efi, you driving it all the way or tailoring?
Ear plugs? Worked a treat for me.
Most of what I would mention has been said above. Good new quality items along with very good tyres and you should be more than fine.
Done mine two weeks ago but on a ph2. The only way for is was to remove the front bumper. My catch was seized solid.
Seach/ google and plenty of threads turn up which you'll find more helpful.
I have exact same problem and same areas too. Pointless checking the back as it's defo coming in from the front. I thought my scuttle drains where blocked but if your saying yours are fine then can't see mine being blocked. Next place too check is your arch's and sills. Drivers wheel off, arch...
