  1. Gooney, cos of the number plate :-)
  2. Agreed. If it was at their site in Whixall, it'd be Cat A or B
  3. You should be able to get that info from any good quality suspension manufacturer. Some of which you can specify spring rates when you order anyway.
  4. I wouldn't touch it with a barge-pole, Kev. Parrot have supplied one of their bluetooth integrated devices for one of our projects and it's shockingly bad. One of my colleagues who worked on that project mentioned this particular Parrot product to me last year. They've had no end of issues with it. They in fact released it then withdrew it at least once. Leave it well alone :)
  5. Super shiney! Mrs B was after a mirror earlier to assist in drying her hair. Could you run over in the VRT to assist? :lol:
  6. That's just ridiculous....... .....I would have done it in 30 mins :rofl:
  7. Haha! No probs, I'm about 8 miles north of Cambridge.

    Arch Nemesis

    I had 9s on mine, and the arches needed rolling, but they were ET15. You may find that ET25 will foul on the spring/shock absorber, as well as needing the arches rolling.
  11. Well, if you were wondering what happened to micVR's old wheels, after he stuck the Rotas on this weekend.....
  12. Iron Man 2 - 8/10 - Mickey Rourke was awesome in his roll

    wtf

    Replace the abortion of a dashboard, and it'd be fine. Oh and stick a standard leather interior in it....
  14. Really want to see it! Thought the trailer looked amazing 8) Not available on Lovefilm though :nono: Watched '9' again last night, I think it's awesome. Very weird, but in a good way I think. 8/10
  15. Sorry for the late reply dude, only just seen this. Hmmm, that's an interesting one. Yours is wired directly onto the pins in the cluster, so perhaps there may be a dry joint on the power/earth. Would you be able to send me the little black box back so I can test it in my test vehicle? If it is ok, then it will be the wiring at fault. However, have you noticed anything else not functioning correctly in the cluster? Rev counter ok? How about the spoiler? Let me know matey :)
  16. Yep, cam chains are not a VW service item, however the magic mileage is 100k. We have a Golf VR6 running original chains, and has 140k on the clock. Been meaning to do them for 25k haha!
  17. Described as " ***A REAL HEAD TURNER*** ". . . . . . what, turning to vomit? :pukeright: More like ....."WHAT THE F*CK IS THAT?"
  18. Research existing systems, specify a generic system, then focus on one particular application. That's essentially what I did with my final year project, all be it a diagnostics tool. Whether you'll be able to use the design for your own profit afterwards remains to be seen, as you'll probably find that the university will on the IP. VR6/24v/R32 for the win!
  19. I've got the PVW mag with that featured in. It's really old. Sent from my HTC Desire
  20. Epic fail haha :rofl: Sent from my HTC Desire
  21. In the last 16 years of driving, I've been stopped 4 times. First time I had done nothing wrong, but I had a car full of people and it was not long after kicking out time on a Saturday night. I guess the tugged me due to the time and conditions. Nothing wrong with the car and they checked the handbrake. Sure they only did that to check the inside of the car, and passengers. Second time I was driving back from Chester, it was late, and I was giving it beans. Caught up with a Police car. He let me pass and then followed me for a mile or so, pulled me over and gave me a bollocking for driving too fast. Third time, I was driving my mates 306 like I'd stolen it, on my own. I clocked him following me, well, trying to catch me up. I managed to drop back below the speed limit before he caught me up. Pulled me over and gave me the bollocking of my life. Said he couldn't do me for speeding as I had been going too fast for them to get me on video, as I'd slowed down. Fourth time was in the Corrado. I was on the Shrewsbury bypass, single carriageway, and had accelerated off a roundabout up well over 100mph. Suddenly realised the Police bike behind me. Oops. Pulled me over. I admitted the speeding which was averaged at 92mph over 4/10 of a mile. He let me off with an SP30. 3 points and fine, due to me being a 'reasonable gentleman'. In all 4 cases, I got out of the car as soon as I was pulled over, ate humble pie and accepted that when I was breaking the law, I should expect to get a bollocking. At the end of the day, they are only doing their job, and you only have to watch the likes of Road Wars to appreciate the amount of complete cockerals that they have to deal with day in day out. 2p.
