again id like to thank dave for supplying this. works a treat and is easy to fit following the instructions which are provided. this is really to say thanks to dave,and to let everyone know that the early type handles (no raised part round key hole) can now be repaired with one of daves kits. top stuff 8) cheers,neil.
-
its just sooooo good to be able to get in the bloody car :lol: you wont be dissapointed m8 8) neil.

would just like to say thanks m8 :D i can confirm that dave does the early type door handle repair kits,and they work a treat 8) and are easy to fit following the supplied instructions. cheers again dave,neil.
-
definately m8,its more noticable than i thought it would be,especially with me only fitting the entry side. neil. 8)
-
aye,im not into turbo's anyway,on/off power and all this lag business :lol: for some strange(and expensive) reason,im liking the idea of bigger pistons,can anyone shed any light? ill check out the mk1 too 8) cheers,neil.
-
phil,good to hear m8! yep,the design 90's are 8x16 all round with 195/45's. would have liked 9x16's but these came up at decent money,so i had to have em. 8) oh yeah,i retinted the headlights,painting the line between the lights this time.makes a big difference to the look. 8) neil.

haha so true,lol at tensing on the wheel and kangarooing away! :lol: reminds me,i was sat at a 2 lane roundabout on sunday. me in left lane,2 cops in a car on the right and a car behind each of us. the cop was edging out slowly,as a white van came booting round the big roundabout, the cop stuck it in reverse and backed straight into the guy behind in a lexus is200. :lol: neil.
-
@ furki, aaaah,thats why i couldnt see,thought it was foggy :lol: to be fair though,his motor is an absolute minter,ive been trying to talk him into keeping it! he was gonna go jap :!: neil.
-
suppose more cc's wouldnt do any harm to start with,1.9? 2.0? can you go 1900cc with just a rebore? and obviously bigger pistons,what size? neil.
-
yeah,i think the mo's are crap myself :lol: very nice m8 8) neil.
-
hahaha :lol: good suggestions guys! when i say top of third gear,thats when we both backed off at a roundabout with traffic queing. was quite suprised that i stuck with him really,an impreza type sommet or other went past me pretty easily the other week. :roll: and theyre just shat! would definately have a lancer rather than a scoob though,evo 4 or 5 :oops:
-
just had a do with a m8 who has a 4wd sierra cosworth,supposed to be 280 bhp @ the fly. stuck right with him to the top of 3rd gear. :D but obviously that aint good enough,so what do i need to blitz him rather than just stick with him? :lol: neil.
-
:lol: thats one a my tricks lately too,replying then realising theres more pages! id love to fit the other half,shame the linkages are broken :roll: neil.
-
black :) in my opinion m8. neil.
-
oops i just noticed page no.6 :lol: ah well keep up the good work steve. neil.
-
nice one :thumbleft: would be great to see before and after figures too! neil.
-
they are??? :shock: :D neil.
-
:D cheers henny. im just thinking about swapping all the throttle linkage over from the original to the one i played with. just scared of messing it up somehow. :roll: neil.
-
i got my plates from gt graffix,they arent tinted but the service was top notch. 8) neil.
-
im skinters at the moment m8,but sounds interesting. 8) would that be a 16v t-body? neil.
-
nope,you shouldnt need to put spring clamps on the fk's. if need be,just wind the spring platforms right down so the spring isnt under any tension. neil. :)
-
update on my t-body. :) after messing with the half that houses the spindles,i saw that i wouldnt be able to fit it as some bits of the linkage are broken :roll: so i thought id really bring up the other half,i finished off the venturi bit,and got it ported a little more then polished the hell out of it. :D i fitted just this half today and there is a 'real' difference,throttle response is more snappy and it drives better at low rpm(smoother) neil. 8)
-
i have a similar problem i think? only sometimes,when i apply little throttle to set off,it sort of farts :? and dosnt rev. also pops out of exhaust letting off,but is that due to the decat? neil.
-
to be honest i dont know myself m8. i think i managed to overtighten mine,and the 2 metal spacer things(that sit either side of rubber) have been banging each other and got chewed up :roll: im tryna source some new ones as the original vw ones dont fit over the fk's. neil.
-
is there a bit at the top of the strut to get a smallish spanner on? while the 17mm is tightened? not the damping adjustment bit! neil.
