You can never have too much power! :lol:[/quote:3amed3xj] Ditto everything Mic says. 1.8 will be far easier than VR conversion. So you should do that or buy a VR. Yeah, no such thing as too much power! I love the acceleration I get at motorway speeds, its a Doozy.

Final bump, 20 teams....

Linky no existy! :D

Does that mean you will be changing colours? If so then its a windows/interior out job (unless you want a different coloured boot and engine bay lol) which will cost more. Same colour 1-2k ish? Change colour 2-5k? Rough estimates from what I've been given and what I've seen on here, but obviously the more you want doing the higher the price.

Is that what you wrote Phil? I think everyone is drunk already!

tasty...well worth the 65k (euro i presume) spent. :gag:

triple post???? http://www.thebackpacker.net/travel-guide/world-drinks/

I think that's pobably the mis-statement of the century. Induction nonsense worked its way out of your system yet Kev? :lol:

Mmmm tasty. 8) Toad has black ones in his sig and The Delta Force has black with polished lips, dunno if there are any photos of the latter tho.

Yeah, sorry about the site, was just the first one suggested and time was running out. Oh well, too late now. Anyway should be good, we have 20 teams from 15 people. :clap: Any more takers? Only a few days left....

I've given my car a project name...Operation Evil B@stard. :twisted: The idea is get the car going fast, sounding mean and looking evil. It was inspired by one of the Corrados I saw at the 20th anniversary last year at the 'ring. Simple mods, but looking like it would run you over without a second's thought. Phase 1 is drivetrain, now pretty much complete. This consisted of getting a V9 charger at stage 2, mapped at 292 bhp on regular fuel. The front brakes have been upgraded to VR Golf 288s with standard discs and EBC Redstuffs. A few weeks ago I got 2.5" decat exhaust which gave the car the sound to match the performance. Its a little rumbly at low speeds, is fine for cruising and howls as the revs climb. Oooh yeah. I'm sure now I've got that and use VPower that I have broken the 300 hp mark. Phase 2 is all about looks. The steering wheel has been changed, got a beesting aerial, debadged grill and a new fog lined up to replace the smashed one. I've also got her slammed on Weitecs....but well, for further mods you're going to have to wait a few weeks unless you can see my facebook profile, in which case there is a sneaky peeky at what is next. But its gonna be a good'un! :cheers: Once phase 2 is done, phase 3 will be about more power. I have all the odb2 gubbins lined up and will be going for more psi and a chargecooler, probably a PWR, spacer gasket, short runner, blah blah blah. I also need to get round to changing the door that has been sitting in my kitchen for around a year now, the one on there is getting ever more rust infected. Any volunteers for help or advice? I'm sh*t scared about doing the glass bit. :D At some point I'll also list all the little bits I have done to her since I bought it. There's a huge stack of receipts to wade through but it'll happen. I had planned to leave it as much as possible but that seems to have fallen by the wayside. lol Also, I seem to have f*cked my DDi dials somehow, first the rev counter wouldn't light up, so I took them apart to discover the wiring had come away from where it joins the dial. I thought I'd fixed it, but it was really bright outside and I couldn't really tell if it was lighting or not when I put it back in. I switch on my car that night and find that now the speedo doesn't light either! :epicfail: I'll have to take them apart again this weekend and see if I can fix it properly, otherwise i'm going to have to order new ones. TTFN. 288s: standard looking tailpipe

What actually holds the gaitor up to the knob? On mine they don't seem like they fit together at all, so am I missing some clips or something or should i just ziptie it?

I think he meant south America rather than South America. Shame about the grey bumper on the red one, other than that its a stunning photo.

Its ok I get embarrased by TDis on the straight all the time mate. :grin: I wasnt too sure why I started this thread. It feels a bit like a self help group now. "My name is Matthew and I drive a tiny sports coupe with a 3.0L engine that gets beaten by family hatchbacks on a daily basis" Ahhh that feels so much better to get that out :lol: Unfortunately that's progress for you, 200+ hp is standard these days for any moderately fast hatch. The old NA 12v can't keep up with all these four pot turbos. :( That's why I supercharged mine. :clap:

Are there any rules like drinking on phrases or overtakes or is it just get as w@nkered as possible? Tsingtao for China? Singha for Singapore (ok its Thai, but who cares?) I think you may have trouble finding an Abu Dhabian local brew. edit - tbh i was expecting the other type of pitlane blondes.

forgot this one, ride is 4x4 tho :lol:

bump 17 teams so far.

Watch as he beats up a man in a Pringle sweater. :lol: I think its just the general cheesiness appeal, the same reason people like Mr T. That vid is terrible but there is a good one of him fighting Bruce Lee apparently for ownership of a kitten. :scratch: :offtopic: Toad rules and I'm glad I have not yet seen him naked. :salute:

Love the look of your car Chris, it looked so mean when I was following you on the 'ring. 8)

:rofl: Got to love the Toad. Top fella. [youtube:3ojb1q2z]3Yc0OESVEQI[/youtube:3ojb1q2z]

Compomotive TH, very slammed.

:lol: I will mention that to him when I see him at Santa Pod this coming weekend. Yeah, i was trying to pay you a compliment, I was expecting the Granny Fratelli from the Goonies! :lol:

yup, its a lever behind the indicator stalk. pull it towards you (or push it away, one of the two) and move the steering wheel up. you shouldn't have to force it. try taking the cowling off around the wheel and see if you can see what is stopping it from moving.

All I saw in my mirror was the angel eyes, grill and huge c0ck behind the wheel!

I was tailed by a new shape bimmer yesterday, I gave it the beans but he still kept on my tail. He had to pull off for fuel before I could let him past to see what flavour it was, but I think it must have been an M5 cos every other bimmer I have met so far I have beaten, including an M3.
