I had one of these in silver with a golf gti engine in when I first passed my test,basically a mk1 golf gti in disguise.Only ever went wrong once,with it being based on a mk1 it has the shitty metal fuel filler neck which rots,fill the tank full of s**t and clogs the fuel system.Not a...

You have it the right way up with the thicker bit at the top,you definitely need the washers though. Cheers Ross.

Water pump if you want to,crank pulley bolt (only a couple of quid),change the oil & filter if you have the dephaser done,if your rocker cover leaks then now is the time to have that sorted as well (probably an extra hour labour at most places). Cheers Ross.

Absolutely spot on!

I also have them and they seem a decent tyre,no real complaints from me.

I went for a cup a coming from always having older cars as toys the lack of comforts didn't really bother me as I didn't notice they were missing.The interior is pretty shite in either model to be honest but both are comfy enough for long journeys etc.That said the lights on it are not that...

Not 100% but I think it was being broken a month or so ago. Cheers Ross.

Highlight of my dads car was a bmw 2002 ex race car put back onto the road.Can remember being in it when I was about 8 and he was late for something or other,watching the needle go off the clock was beyond cool at that age! (Also nothing like setting a good example!) Other than that he had a...

Re: let us see pictures off your old cars you owned Like evo's much?! Black 03 plate VII is the pick of the bunch for me,the III at the top is lovely a well. Cheers Ross.

A per title,55 plate chasing a black mk5 r32 near the Metro Centre around 6 this evening. Cheers Ross.

Wests Renault on here are cheap and the service is spot on. 172 cup front shocks - 8200681108 - £43.66 Cheers Ross.

Coming along nicely,looking forward to seeing the finished product! Cheers Ross.

If it was started from cold then yes they often idle a touch rough and are a bit hesitant when driving at first.Should sort itself out once it starts to warm up though,if it doesn't or it idles like an absolute pig then you have an problem. Cheer Ross.

Slightly reduced stress on the wheel bearings over conventional type spacers? Cheers Ross.

Wests Renault on here.Superb service as well. 182 cup / cup packed rear shocks - 8200681125 - £43.66 Cheers Ross.

Yep! Really straightforward,only takes a few minutes. Cheers Ross.

Looks fantastic! I wish I had the time/knowledge to treat mine to a proper detail. Cheers Ross.

Look great to me,not a massive fan on standard 182 wheels so would keep the turinis if it were mine.Nice to see one looked after properly as well. Cheers Ross.

I do around 5-600 miles through work driving between jobs and regularly see appalling driving like the above.My theory is to assume that everyone in a car really is thick enough to do just about anything! Cheers Ross.

Bet his arse was eating the seat at times there!

I own a 172 cup and have done a good few thousand miles in the golf (not an anniversary but an aum code 18t mk4 so no real mechanical difference).Having experienced both it definitely come down to what you want from the car and how you like to drive. The golf goes ok as standard and pretty well...

Since this is still going this morning I will throw in my 2 pence,an unbiased view as well as I run neither so have no investment to justify. I think the RS2 is a good bit of kit at realistically half the cost of an itb setup.Given its half the cot I don't think it fair to expect the same...

Black 172 on anthricite standard wheels heading north down the bowes incline yesterday morning. Silver 172 parked outside Greenhams on the Team Valley mid-day. Black 182 55 plate with cup pack parked on Scotswood Road. Flame red 172 02 plate lowered on Chainbridge Road around 2:30. Cheers Ross.

Keiths old one with the lenso wheels? Thought I had seen that the other week but wasn't sure. Cheers Ross.

Re: Attention Nurburgring pilots (any track really) - Some advise required if you ple Don't want to seem like im jumping on the bandwagon but I have managed make a set of greenstuffs disintegrate as well,just through normal driving as well not going mad. Cheers Ross.

Don't know how I have missed this one,love the whole car! Cheers Ross.

Love that!Looks great,very purposeful and makes me wish I had held on to find a good phase 1.Cobra tech seats are superb as well. Cheers Ross.

Actually what material are the cage you are after made from,cds/t45 etc? Quite a diference in weight between them.Im too idle to look it up but I seem to remember certain omp cage are some sort of chromoly which there is a bit of debate about how its best to weld so might be worth looking into...

I would guess around 50kg or so,my last cage weighed around 50kg plus welds but it was pretty comprehensive so probably a similar amount of material.

Sounds like a lot of fun right there! You don't need any more than that in a fwd road car. Cheers Ross.
