How much for an oil change out of interest? I want to keep my mk4 golf stamped up with VAG fsh, so to have an oil change done there every year will be the best way of doing this. Although I change my oil + filter every 3-4k miles regardless and I will be doing a major service (cam belt, other belts, all filters, bushes, shocks, bearings etc) on it shortly. (wonder how much that would cost through VW out of interest? £1000? lol)

You have my vote for this idea! I think that would work very well! Communication within the CCGB is minimal and this would potentially be a good way of sorting this down fall! Also I agree with everything you said in your post on page 8 Andi, I was not however so enamoured by some of your previous comments earlier in the thread, but that’s done and dusted now. We need to make sure as many people as possible turn up to the AGM to sort this mess out!! (taking into account you wish to be apart of CCGB, which I hope the majority do! Its one common interest we all have at the end of the day!!!) I have only been in the scene for about 3-4 years and of those years I have only been a member of the CCGB for 2 of them. Putting the club’s downfalls aside for a moment and focus on the positives. I have met and continue to meet people who I enjoy chatting to at events and meets. I have made some good friends from this club and I know the now CCGB chairman very well. John has done a good job in my eyes, he has managed to organise and manage stands at events across the country, as have most the committee members. They generally have coped well considering they inherited problems from the past that are still very much an issue within the club today. If you think that the club still managed to have stands at most of the major events last year, Inter’s, Stoner, E38 etc that all members are more than welcome to be apart off and are actually encouraged to take part. Most will agree these events were a success, especially Inter’s and E38 where we had a very good turn out and some nice cars both standard + modded. I think if as a club we can get passed the irritations and problems of the last few years, discuss and solve issues at this years AGM on April the 17th then close that chapter we should all be able to enjoy an improved club for this coming year and hopefully many more to come. It’s US as the members who need to vote for a new committee after all. If you can’t make it at least try and get your vote in through a friend etc. Also with regards to Sprinter mags, the new editor will know doubt need our support to write articles etc as they don’t write them selves! So anyone who wishes to contribute should make them selves know at the AGM. I think the key is to think positively. We all (or at least many of us!) want the club to work well this year and thus we need to keep an open mind and not keep getting hung up on its weak points. I too am pi**ed off with the lack of Sprinters I received, the lack of communication, but I’m equally annoyed at people’s comments on this forum with regards to the club, but everyone’s entitled to say what they wish I suppose! We should all try and get on a bit better, CF and CCGB alike. That’s my 2 pence worth… Anyway those who are members let’s try and make the AGM… Ben :D

I think the words - 'day light robbery' spring to mind :!:

Your coming with us arn't you? In Guys car???? Or have I got the wrong man? :?:

lee have you got any pics of your boot install, saw the ones on vortex but I'm hungry for more lol

£250 + VAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good idea but not spending that, got something planned instead......

last 3 years I did about 20-25k a year...! Bought my Golf mk3 tdi with 47k on the clock, had it 3 years, sold it to my sis with 115k on the clock!

If you did the work yourself, well under 5k including the engine imo... But thats for a standard setup. More bhp = more £££

"nearly 2 years sales experience" Cough Cough...

we want 50% off parts please! Prices might be a bit more realistic then! Had a quote from VW a while back for a RHD syncro PAS rack - £960!!!! cookoo! You have a PM btw neil..

nice of you to ring me up and tell me

It can be done, I have measured it up already... 8) 8) :evil: oh it can be done for a lot less than £11k!!!

with current exchange rate of 1.8 or so $ to the £ then I've spent more thank $30,000 ! ! Stopped counting to be honest :cry:

think he said that he was going to Worthersee.... 8) (i am..)

Dohh! :cry: :cry:

Hows the car going, still enjoying it? Do you use it daily? Any problems with the 1.8T? ?Want to part with those GT3 seats yet... ;o

The R32 prob sounds louder and more throaty with a decent exhaust. Chargedupstorm aka Guy H has a AMD tuned R32 running about 301bhp, I've been in that loads and it sounds amazing! If anything its too loud....

Yeah, you just need to move the rear gearbox mount and a couple of other bits 'n' pieces and your there! 8)

its not that difficult mate.... :?

pm sent coxy..

Just you wait until you put the car on the ground, pictures don't tell the full story... :cry: I'm cracking on designing and implementing a new rear sub frame at the moment... 8)

"a rather scary amount of camber, and the bracket on the rear arm that secures the flexi brake pipe digs into the rear chassis leg. I may fit a rubber limiter on top of the suspension arm to prevent that from ever happening, I wouldn't want it to bottom out and damage the brake lines. or I may move the bracket itself. interestingly, the bottom edge of the corrado wheel arch already has a dent in it to clear where the brake pipe goes..... " That would the camber I've been on about then... :lol:

8)

whats elsecar? You going to inters lee or worthersee?

I'm up for it.. CF or CCGB I'm not bothered as long as my car gets in there :wink: :lol:
