  1. I've still got this issue somewhere, Best front wheel drive cars ever was the article if i'm not mistaken? Unfortunately the teg type r won but i'll bet there have been less worthy winners ;)
  2. Hey Matt, I'll take one of those please :thumbleft: Lewis
  3. I just applied this measurement to my weitec hicon GT's because it seemed like a nice compromise, but I have a few questions, To reach this measurement required more upwards adjustment on the o/s, just wondered why? (new front top mounts, lower arm bushes) The higher you go the harder the ride gets? Also my powerflex lower arm rear bushes came with washers and small collars, I was unable to fit the collars on the n/s because the bolt thread was either offset to the subframe or the subframe is bent/located wrong. Has anybody else had this problem?
  4. That's a nice looking ham, I don't want the dairylee cus it doesn't sweeten the deal any. Literally. [ATTACH=CONFIG]54565[/ATTACH]
  5. Paint looks spot on mate, what detailing do you have planned? I can't believe you have those D90's as "dailys" :lol:
  6. Well just finished getting my lower arms off, so tomorrow i'll be taking them to work to press the bushes out then off for shot blasting and powder coating because as you can see they are pretty shabby lookin' now! [ATTACH=CONFIG]54453[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]54457[/ATTACH] So anyway it didn't show me the usual belligerence it usually would with all the stubborn rusty bits, everything came off a treat :) , although I really should invest in a trolley jack 'cus jacking the sump with the widowmaker jack to get the front os arm bolt out was a tense few moments :thumbleft:
  7. I've never driven a 16v golf or corrado, I thought the mk2 16v was a flier though?

    Good lord!

    That's one ugly duckling. Kudos for choosing the C for the shell though as i'm sure they could've chosen alot of cars!
  9. Agreed, it looks pretty good just with the two-tone 'rust over black'. I'm sure Max would love it as didn't he smash up his falcon?
  10. Your enthusiasm for the rat is inspiring! I've read through this whole thread and it's just mental! I love the fact that you can just carry out any crazy idea that pops into your head!
  11. Powdercoated inlet manifold looks awesome
  12. Have you guys checked out Witchery? I think its one of the guitarists from the Haunted, I have the album Don't fear the reaper and it is pretty special.
  13. Right guys and girls, as i've spent the majority of the past year making sure my vr6 doesn't boil itself to death (at great cost). I thought it was about time for some fun stuff so here goes... This is my C [ATTACH=CONFIG]53173[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]53177[/ATTACH] I think it sits too high and rolls too much so I broke the bank for these [ATTACH=CONFIG]53181[/ATTACH] and these [ATTACH=CONFIG]53185[/ATTACH] Hopefully I'll get around to prepping the car for this stuff in the next couple of weeks, I want to powdercoat my lower arms and subframe, does anyone have any contacts or recommendations in the Gloucestershire area for this? I'll post some more pics when it's sitting just so...:thumbleft: And before you all start ribbing me for not being able to spell the colour of my car I tried to edit it but don't know how :(
  14. Yeah nice low mileage vr's seem to hover around the 4k mark, I sold my last one (95 vr) with 94K for £4000 about 18 months ago. It doesnt say you want to sell it so it's only going to go up. (i'm pretty sure)

    8v Lovin'

    Happy to hear your wife was relatively unhurt, shame thats another minter off the road though :( Don't let the insurance thieves take you for a ride.
  16. Working for a ford main stealer I get roughly 40% off vr6 engine bits but they still wanted £130 inc vat for the aux belt tensioner! Anybody bought one recently? Genuine/non gen? How much? Good quality?
  17. Chronicle - 8/10 a really interesting take on teen's with superpowers n'all that. It's filmed from a handycam point of view, Cloverfield style and is done just as well.
  18. That's really cool, where's it from?
  19. If thats £250 to you whats the retail on that bad boy?
  20. I'd like a tidy mk4 4-motion. Red with beige leather. Or a passat sport estate 130tdi. I'm also hankering after another mk2 gti though. I could get a real head turner for 5k!
  21. When i was selling my mk5 gti these were the ONLY e-mails i got from using pants-trader
  22. Also pm'd about sump (not sure if you have more than 1?) Also sorry pat but any chance you'll be getting any more black rear vw badges?
  23. They killed off Darth Maul too soon though I reckon, but then i suppose that wouldn't have fitted with Palpatines pursuit of Anakin. But I agree about the love dialogue, some of the most cringe worthy in film I reckon!
