  1. i think you should buy my car. then i can buy something new. it does have leather! lol
  2. which photos did you use for the calender run? would be nice to see them
  3. Oh and to add what keV said Noone here slows down for snow people still overtaking me at 100+ easily bloody dangerous and a little inconciderate to other drivers
  4. I'm in Germany right now and have just driven down the bahns.. Slush snow ice in the French Belgium end but further down they clear the roads very well glad I got my winter tyres when I did!! The snow fall here is quite amazing though, well for me it is as living in the sw we don't see very much at all, it's coming down like heavy rain good for us it's not settling!!
  5. Custom flat frames from demon tweaks. Iirc £75-1pm snoots Check out my build for more info
  6. I use winter tyres and I'm using a 195 /50 /15 Yes they do do. 205 / 50 /15 I should of had that one but it was only for the mk3 and the 195 is a cheaper option but it wasn't worth it the 195 puts your speedo out by 2.5% not to mention your fuel economy!!! Still very good tyre though for a cheapy primwell good grip no squeals fairly quite and planted through still water Second time to Germany this year next week as of next year probably 4-5 times to go over there so got to use what they stipulate, fitting times although not set in stone are from oct - Easter and yes your insurance is in valid even if someone hits you and you haven't the correct tyres....
  7. sorry bud if you have turned the polerising filter over it would work .... sorry to say you have definatly not done this . :( have you taken a stanly blade to the lcd screen? white bulb? red filter? reverse the polar filter and you will get red numbers black back ground . if you need a link check here.... http://www.bitswap.com/smf/index.php?topic=5638.0
  8. If you only changed the outer there would be no need to remove the complete shaft, However the inner box joints are splined not Allen key the size can't remember 35 or spmething The only difficult bit is taking the joint out of the hub as vws have a tendency to 'get stuck' lol have fun if it is One dodgy but very effective way of getting them out is to use two hammers but it is not recommended use only as last resort
  9. Erm am I missing something? Why don't you just buy the outer c.v joint and re fit .... You don't need a new shaft. And top tip if the shaft as you say was dislocated it is very possible to reattach without raking boot off depending how quickly you noticed it , otherwise just a new outer c.V joint is required no panic no biggy. Cheers
  10. hmmm mine standard trim runs on motorway 112
  11. flux are total shite i will never ever insure with them again after they stiched me by removing 3pty ins driving other vehicles with out my consent or even giving me notice.... therefore i recieved 6 points for no insurance even though they owned up and said it was thier mistake??!!!!! total cocks
  12. grabbed a couple pics of the coffee table at the weekend forgot all about the thread until i went round there... 8.3 litre v10 dodge viper engine.... bit of a costly table... the rocker covers are just balanced on top until they are fixed
  13. @ ludicrous speed mines fine....
  14. having owned both .............scoob good fun... m3 for me that engine note the sheer power the drive the refinement ....the bm...
  15. i really like the idea but i cant see any way really of making it look good , its an old car ld styling this is just too modern for it ive thought about loads of different ways and i just cant see it looking any good with out screaming cheap nasty mod..... what would it look like if the strip was along the bottom again but then very slightly kicked up between the main and spot ?? probably crap still but id like to have a look....
  16. Yes I agree Chris they would make your car look good but not awesome like they do my car!! Lol Done worry they are not kicking About a workshop floor!! Sadly inside the car an removed when working on it!
  17. Yea not sure where to take it langers rekkons i should go Obd 2 while I've got it all to bits like this but il have to source the parts.....
  18. another couple of hours today just a random shot of the engine... i pulled the drivers side loom back through into the cabin im thinking of joining the loom here to extend the wires down to the headlights etc the hole where the loom was... manual pedal box in place steering colum back in!! a bit daunting but hey ho random shot of one of the seats i refurbished!! so thats it started on the re routing of the loom fitted the manual pedal box re-fitted the steering colum.....long way to go !
  19. I like the grey I swapped mine out for beige though feels warmer and brighter in the cabin now.....
  20. I have a load of waxoil to do the underside of mine including all the panel nozzles etc to get in the tough places but talking to my dad his friends say it's crap that they recommend a spray grease as it coats everything stays runnier for longer?, The waxoil cools quite quickly when it hits the panals and does not penetrate every nook and crannie that and it makes bit of a mess! Still I rekkon itl be good for under my arches etc
  21. Hi there just paid I've pm'd you my details cheers
  22. when testing with a multimeter yes you are correct looking fo rthe lowest resistance iirc you might need to turn the wheel to see if it changes the ohmage there is a whole section on this somewhere in the autodata website i used it several times on older cars ive had and saved me £££££ on hourly rates!
