Haven't been around much lately, thought I'd pop back and show what I bought a few months ago. I wanted a second fast car, budget was always changing, I looked at a lot of things, but not a great deal rocked my boat, or felt like too much money for what it was. I ended up with this, more of an...

Who's watching it? Anyone wana play last minute bets on what to expect?

Internet has been running hella slow periodically lately, traced it down to mums phone. I did remember reading something on here, something to do with it trying to constantly upload photos, although its not uploading anything? Any ideas guys?

Basically, I'm after a new mobo/processor combo. It will be mostly for gaming, but I might use it to host my plex media server when I want to watch full HD films (not necessary, would rather it ran games better tbh) I already have 8GB ripjaws sitting here, so that's not entirely necessary, but...

Basically, iv got a ph2 172. Speed sensor is in its way out as speedo is constantly dropping out on trips, and doesn't work for the whole trip. My question is what problems would that cause? Asking as 40 quid saw me about 150 miles if that. Cheers

Saw you flash me, didn't clock in until you was opposite me! Did try waving. Nice car!

Noticed this over the last couple of weeks, only done it twice now. When driving, the stop light, and handbrake light would both come on and just flicker, go off and randomly flash on an off the about 10 seconds then stop it. Any ideas?

Hi guys Had this problem since I got the car. Basically, on fast, sweeping, sharp left hand bends I get a fast knocking/clunking. If I take it slower, it's a faint noise, if I take it faster its alot louder, and can feel the knocking/vibrating through the floor. Something it is similar to is...

Hi guys Bought a driveshaft off a trader on here. It arrived quickly, but when it did, the cv boot was hanging off, and just cable tied on. Is that generally a problem? Iv heard they are a b**ch to get back on, is it worth getting it replaced for another one?

Hi guys Does anyone know how much garages charge for a wheel bearing? It's for a 172. Cheers

Here's my mates mk2 golf GTI, with a stage 5 jabba sport charger (that thing is frigging huge!). It's a complete home brew car, did it all him self. Full cage Battery relocated to boot Full race tank with pumps and swirl pots. Full through exhaust with no cat or boxes Battery isolated and...

Some people may remember my orange peel thread, the paint was dull and had no shine or reflection, and I thought it was down to the orange peel, but it wasn't. Another member recommended a proper compounding polish, and sold me Gtechniq P1, and C3 wax. Washed it with turtlewax (I know... I have...

Hi guys Basically, I need to change some of my engine mounts today. Where is the best place to buy them so I can have them today? I have a feeling most auto factors won't have them on the shelf? Eurocrapparts only shows having the "left" mount, would that be gearbox one? (one under the...

Here's pics of mates MK2 golf, while I was at his unit. Race fuel tank/Battery Master Switch G60 Engine with stage 4 Charger (pics really don't do justice of the size of the fucker) Might not be to everyone taste but it's amazing, such a beast

Hi guys, couldn't find anything similar do making a post. Noticed it a few times now, driving along and my speedo would just drop to zero. And it would stay there for a random amount of time, then pop back up and carry on. While its at zero, my MPG drops rapidly (understandable), so I guess...

Hi guys Just a quick one really, I saw a car on here that Gally did an awesome job of, and the paint looked similar to mine. Basically, on both sides of the car, it looks really orange peeley, and doesn't have much reflection, it's quite dull? It's pearl black, but honestly looks more grey...

Right guys, bit of help please. I broke my 3GS screen start of last year, used it for about 2-3 months then it stopped charging. After that it lived in my drawer, until someone on here offered me a 3GS screen for cheap on here, so I took it and fitted it, and I noticed the data port wasn't...

Hi guys Basically, my iPhone headphones are now broke, and it's time I got some decent ones. Can anyone recommend me some good headphones? Can be in ear, or "on top" ones (don't know the correct name, like DJ headphones?), as I'm only gonna use them in doors anyway. Budget £100-150 max. I...

Does anyone know where you can get them? My negative one is always coming off, but won't do up tight enough

Hi guys I wonder if anyoen can help, might be a long one. Basically, yesterday I replaced a damaged CPU in my PC (pins got bent, couldnt get them straight enough for the PC to boot). Yesterday went fine, installed windows, set up shared folders, downloaded everything I needed and went to...

Noticed this a few times now so wonder if anyone can help? Basically, when pulling away from a stand still, not briskly or anything, just normal, I get one solid clunk, also happens when moving, and I blip the throttle in high revs. I have also heard it going over bumps? I know I have a CV...

Hi guys, Basically looking for something to watch my media that is shared on my server at home. Sick of the Xbox offering, so want to get something that can run Plex. ATV3 looks like its never gonna be jail broken lol so won't be investing in that just yet, and ATV2 prices seem stupid IMO, is...

Hi guys Basically, left the car alone for a week as it had no tax, jumped in it and tried starting it. It turned over fast like normal, but for longer, I heard it fire and almost start, but kept turning over. Tried again and it started after 4-5 seconds. The exhaust was really poppy, sounded...

Saw it near Hoo/Gillingham, obviously smashed it round the roundabout too quick and come up the curb in to the bushes, and it's WELL in the bushes.. Wonder If they will admit it!

Right, this happens very rarely so didn't think about making a post untill it happened today. What happens is, I start the car and the idle is instantly really low and lumpy, dumping the accelerator does nothing, as in engine doesn even rev it just stalls eventually (if I rev it or not), I...

As title! What xenon bulbs are people using? With pics if possible! Mine has 2 different ones and looks crap! Cheers

Right bit of a weird one! Car has done this twice now. I unlock the car, jump in, stick the key in the ignition and stick it to second place. All normal here, all normal lights come on, nothin weird. Now soon as I turn the key to start it, everything dies, no click, nothing. After that there...

Wonder if you guys can help! Recently installed Plex Media Server on my HP Proliant N40L. Use it to stream films to my Xbox, iPhone and iPad. Now, good quality HD stuff constantly seems to "buffer" on all the devices, except the iPhone. From what I understand, it doesn't buffer as such, and all...
