  1. Oh dear, really sorry about that Now that is good news :)
  2. Only just seen this...AWESOME! Good luck tomorrow :)
  3. Excellent engineering! 8) Brace yourself for some abuse about the front bumper and bonnet though..... ;)
  4. We've insured both our cars with Brentacre now, more so because of the good service as opposed to the good price (although the price was good too!).
  5. I had 9s on the front of mine (Borbets) and it did tramline somewhat. I'd stick with the 7.5s :)
  6. Who did you go with in the end?
  7. It's because HIC charge a £25 fee for renewing.....even though, they've already got all your details!! Go figure :lol:

    I have to agree with the 1.8T into a valver. Besides, why buy a 16v, if you are going to stick a VR or G60 in it? Why transplant what you can get standard :)
  9. Excellent work so far 8)
  10. If you're stupid enough to fit lambo doors, you're stupid enough to forget....
  11. Normally you'd have; Signal +12v or +5v GND
  12. What the hell is an Adaptronic ECU? Never even heard of that..
  13. Awesome news! You sorted the timing issue then?
  14. More money than sense??
  15. And give them the bird 8) LOL! Love it! :lol:
  16. Liking your thinking Henny. Are the 1.4TFSI engines GDI? If so, you will find it hard to replace the pistons with fancy light ones, as they will be designed to work with the injectors in the head. They would need to adhere to the original dome and bowl design to maintain proper combustion characteristics. I've done a bit of a search and couldn't find that many DI type forged pistons. Here's one :lol: Rods, not a problem, nor lightening the crank etc. etc. but stick with the standard ECU if you can. It will need all the 'extra' stuff 'defeated' in the ECU so it doesnt throw a wobbler when 3/4 of the input signals it expects aren't there.
  17. Not a difficult job, but make sure you get the thing timed back up properly, as you will be removing the cams from the head, to do the tappets.
  18. Nice work Yan! MOT testers always say that about rear wheel bearings. I'm sure half of them don't know that they are taper fit. Get driving it :) 8) :norty: :nuts: :salute: :cheers:
  19. Fair play, that's fecking miles out. Your inlet cam looks to be about a tooth out too.
