billinjahg60, NEVER forget to put your seatbelt on from now on, and don't let your passengers travel without theirs on too... ;) those brakes are fricking awesome and the first time you have to use 'em in anger to avoid a dangerous situation you'll be sooooo glad you got 'em! 8)

now I can appreciate the humour behind that one... as long as it doesn't damage anything and is easy to undo things like that don't bother me too much... 8) I like the colour contrast too... ;) :lol: :twisted: J-DUB got stickered at GTI Festival last year by the Dubforce mob... I kinda liked it so I left it on in it's rather jaunty angle across her rear! :lol:

Good morning again Lippy! ;) :lol: It's nice to spot someone who you know from the forum... 8)

Blown, yup... exactly like that.... 8)

dinkus, sorry, but I'm with Del on that one... I still love the sound of a well played with flat4 engine... especially one that's got a supercharger bolted to it... ;)

take the fuse out, clean up the contacts replace with a new fuse... ;)

corradowales, it wasn't me... :|

reaper1_3, it's nasty... avoid it... Bouncy, crashy and just generally not good.

just as a side note, The reservoir actually has a divider inside it so if your clutch system does spring a leak, it CAN'T drain all of the fluid out of the whole reservoir and leave you with no brake fluid reserve... ;) 8)

3slat, no badges, no eyebrow... ker-plink - there's my 2p... 8)

My FKs came with a nice little wiring diagram... 8) I'll dig it out when I get home...

that thin black plastic pipe is the one that feeds the back of the clocks with the vacuum so the MFA knows what's going on... :roll: Also, with it disconnected, you've got a vacuum leak which will make the car run like a sack of cack... Get it replaced and see what the car's like then... ;)

my 1940cc G60 runs 9.5:1 compression ratio... The standard head bolts will take it... 8)

yup... It's a ECP corrado G60 radiator (£79 + VAT) and it all fits nicely... 8) I've been looking closely at EBAY recently for other intercoolers and there seems to be quite a choice on there for good money... ;)

just to confirm, if the lights on the top of the gauges are working, but the LCDs aren't, then it's almost 100% that it's the bulbs that are at fault due to the fact that the lights across the top plug into the power feed to the LCD's bulbs... ;) IE, the electricity has to go PAST the LCD bulbs before it can get to the other bulbs in the clocks... ;)

CoxyLaad, sounds like one of the Cupra diesels... I got left on the wrong side of a road looking rather silly by a MKV Golf Diesel not long ago... I dropped a gear and booted it just as he booted it... I lost... BIG TIME! I think my conversion may end up being one of the new 2.0 diesels... 8)

well, this weekend I went on a bit of a mission... 8) Took the engine and box out of J-DUB to prep it for fitting into H-YYU Fitted new MB Quart components to H-YYU Wired up new speakers to Amp with BIG FAT speaker cable Fitted serial lead to TrakM8 in H-YYU so I can plug it into my new palmtop when it arrives to use a GPS navigation device... 8) Test fitted 40mm offset Borbet Cs over Brembos - They fit with my 11mm spacer! :cheers: Got local machine shop to start making me 4 more 11mm spacers Took 9 Borbet Cs to Top Marques for refurbing and discovered that one was a write off (funnily enough, the one that did most of the damage to the MKIII golf that pulled out in front of J-DUB! :roll: ) Re-fitted badly fitted alarm and finally got interior sensors working in H-YYU Cleaned windscreen (inside) so I can actually see out of H-YYU :oops: :lol: Changed cambelt tensioner on H-YYU so it'll last until I can swap the engines over later this week...

GIXXERUK, I was just about to write that... 427CuIn AC Cobra (yup, that's 7 litres!) Jenson Interceptor (if you can get one to run long enough!) 911 turbo (has to be an air-cooled one though) Austin Healey 3000 (pref. works prepared) Triumph TR4 (sounds the nuts, honestly!) Ford RS200 (completely nuts car with an amazing sound) As I work just up the road from Gav (and next door to MUFC's ground) and drive through Wilmslow every day, I see a lot of exotic italian and German cars around too, so I've only listed cars I've been out in... 8)

without... (still looks good both ways though... 8) )

some little git has nicked the valve caps off H-YYU... well, 3 of 'em anyway 'cos they were locking ones with a 1mm allen bolt in 'em to stop 'em coming off... They also smashed the window on the car next to mine and it took the owner a day to realise that they'd nicked the car battery... :|

Congrats! They look rather nice... 8) On a related topic, If anyone has any Borbet C wheels in a 16x7.5" size which are 35mm offset, then they'll clear with only a 6mm spacer! My imported 40mm offset ones fit with the 11mm spacers I had made up for my 30mm offset ones. This is because (as I suspected) the dish of the 35/40mm offset C's is less than that on the 30mms which allows more clearance... 8)

that's a mega clean engine bay! 8) Nice looking car... 8)

most classic car policies start for cars at either 20 or 25 years old... :( Some specialist insurers will do limited milage policies, but it doesn't really knock a great deal off... :|

cam cover gasket - GSF/ ECP Throttle body gaskets are VAG only IIRC, but if GSF/ECP DO sell 'em, then they'll be fine... 8) The fog/indicator surround is not available seperately, however, if you put up a wanted ad, you may be able to get some broken fogs with good surrounds for not a lot of cash... ;) 8)

yeah, it's not a typo, it just gets around the site auto-censor... :roll: :P
