  1. Can't remember where it was before, but was easier to find than here!
  2. I have toyo snow proxes 950 on the car (195/50 R15) which are a good tyre in the wet and work especially well with the cold winters up here Skid (frost and snow are a treat) This will be my second year of running them and have been impressed. Normally use T1s's but gonna change to the R's for next year

    Polo GTI

    I would watch the gearbox on them, they are notorious for going, my mates one has had 3 clutches and a new box in under 60k (he is the second owner). They have a habbit of killing diffs, and have heard from a friend who works at VW of a box with 20k on it ejecting it's contents through the casing. :cry: My friends new box cost him the best part of 2k :roll: Hope you got a warranty from the stealers :wink:
  4. Congratulations Darren, glad everything went well.... So do you already have the baby alcantara recaro with 4 point harnesses :lol: You might need an new estate car now (sell the passat), shame shame, RS2, 4 or 6, let the better half choose :lol: :lol: Na seriously tho, all the best Marty
  5. well put it this way, a certain forums guide was about as much use as a choc fire guard! The wiring was the easy bit, got dubster82 to do it! :lol: :lol: Spent the following day making them fit better as they sit about 10mm proud and look stupid, you don't have to drill holes as they say! Alot of work and trial fitting but worth it Went for a power flow as my previous remus rubbed after it was lowered Thanks M
  6. Don't you start darren :lol: Get it all the time from Brian "I wish I could marry a charger" Walker... Just funning Jessie :lol: I am gonna save for a bit then look at the options, 1.6 valver, turbo or charger for mine :lol: Cheers tho Marty

    Polo 16v

    Didn't quite make my night bud, was just happy as drunk when you phoned and was winning at pool! When Cheech phoned me to tell me about that thread on the beach forum that made my day as was highly amusing! Thanks coullstar for the compliment, don't know what my beard has to do with my car tho! If you want a personal slagging match will have to know who you are first!!! Cheers roddy, never seen that pic before! A girl I used to work with who had an Mk4 anniversary hated my wheel colour etc but I love them. I do stuff to my car to see if I like it or not and if people do, it is a bonus but i like driving my car rather than people looking at it. My car is done in MY taste and therefore every one is not going to like it but its good that some do. Thanks
  9. Man you should get Lloyd hanging off the strut brace scattering gravel out the back then she might put you in her will for doing a good deed to society, well your street at least! :lol: Car is looking good buddy! Heard you have ordered some snow wheels for added clearing power for the rad-plough 8)
  10. Fair play, will shut up, I sure it is not only our posts that have gone a bit off tangent :shock:
  11. Brian, I don't know who or what you are talking about :D :D Have you been drinking Optimax again?? Unfortunately a rear ending saxo driver resulted in Mr R Starr being unable to attend the RR Day to see what his was kicking out :cry: At least I dealt with a certain cocky Golf Gti 8v owner, don't mind getting beat by a fellow 16v :lol: Need more POWER :mad:
  12. Brian, Jeesus Marty, what did you do to that poor blue 16v???? Might have been guilty of keeping his rear bumper a bit warm, all in good fun tho. Didn't get near enough to yours to wind you up :D Heard that an Evo had an unfortunate incident on the same roundabout as yours going to Star the other day, must be cursed!! Think i'll be going the long way round if I need to go again, jus incase! :?
  13. Roddy, Sounds nice, yeh it was a good laugh, after windin martin up, headed out the dueller with Ringostar's 16v and had a good battle, much fun. On the way out whipped some boy in a Mk3 gti who was trying to keep me behind him, the three of us...anon Mk3, Ringo and myself came across another Corrado who saw us coming a booted it as well, was amusing, a mini dub wars! :lol: Had a good go against Martin off the lights to wind him up, but was a bit ambitous at the speed I launched it in to second and it decided it didn't want to play the game so made a nice noise, ccccccrrrrunch. Was a good laugh tho. Wasn't wheelspinning too much, think Martin was struggling a wee bit to get traction tho in 2nd as well. :lol:
