    supra~!

    join a supra site tbh :lol:
  2. don't get a VW ffs, most of them are crap, slow and overpriced
  3. i love the crap colour and the wheels that don't fit properly mostest :cuckoo:
  4. why does everyone get 476 instead of 915? http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/colli ... d_281.html is it just the price or is 476 better?
  5. isn't purple haze a wax? auto gylm super resin polish is great, especially on dark colours, follow that with a nice wax :thumbs:
  6. summary of events? i'm not reading 45pages of internet folk
  7. i don't bother drying the car between washing and claying, i just wash it then onto the clay, the water helps it slide
  8. its a prime time for them to try and cash in on this, i noticed a statement from turtle wax doing the rounds too, with a link to their products

    MPG

    my average speed is nearly always about 42mph :( just no straight roads around here and i hardly go on motorways, dual carriageways
  10. been to VW and ended up buying both types of gasket to save being wrong etc, they are only £12 each. I take it the sealent stuff is any old stuff from local garage type shop?
  11. am thinking i'll just snow foam mine as usual 8)

    short numberplates

    am sure you can do it on DVLA website

    short numberplates

    i think 6 character plates look the best, just get something symmeticalish (new word right there)
  14. when the bearings go do you get a knocking/thudding noise sometimes when turning? i ask as i did all new top mounts when fitting the coilovers but suspect after 10,000miles they are begining to fail, either that or its the steering rack.
  15. nice one, thanks for the tips. am sure thats what is leaking on my engine. what cars had a plastic cover? mine is a 1995 VR
  16. still not fitted mine, does the new guide help get that pin out?
  17. i only have this pic, from when i got a gruvenparts bracket looking at the marks on water pump am sure one sat right at the bottom and the other tight up under the plastic part. Once you have the rubber lined up with holes where it mounts it should become obvious
  18. Before i go and buy one and attempt to fit it to cure leaking oil, is there anything important to know. Am hoping its a case of undo rocker cover, fit gasket, bolt everything back together.
  19. yes, abit like that mustang/lambo thing recently posted 8)
  20. http://www.fquick.com/videos/viewvideo. ... stacomment pretty poor quality video but a very funny man :lol:
  21. i fancy fitting a corrado bodyshell to the latest audi TT :lol: could that be done, all the looks of the rado but with new techology :norty:
  22. am sure custom parts can be made. the land rover 101 i own is the same, hardly any parts can be bought for it new. The 101 club runs a spare parts scheme, like a group buy i spose, where they find a manufacture to make/supply custom parts. http://www.101club.org/spares/
