The weights have only just been put on in the past week so should be able to peel them off with little fuss, plus the pads and discs are slightly used so should get a little clearance.

Max if your in Bristol have you tried volksmania? i had a golf vr gear box off them a while back, they might just have the obd2 bits you need.

Hendrix gin is good although a little pricey! Always liked glenmorangie, they have done different types finished off in varying casks , dark rum cask was my favourite.

I will have a trial run first me thinks! Just had coilovers arrive today so maybe when they are installed i have the alignment done i could get the wheels rebalanced then.

I have seen this mentioned before but no diffinitive anwser. I'm about to fit a refurbed set of 288 calipers and discs from a mk3 with 15 speedlines, have notice that the wheel weight are right next to the spokes of the wheels on the inside, question is will these be ok, could I get away with wheel spacers or need to have the wheels rebalance?

Am I right in thinking the bhp is listed at 350 but the engine with turbo has yet to be installed.

No worries fella rather have a hold up first off as duds will cost more time and money in the long run.

Cool that's just enough time for an extra brew. Nice -
Noticed this on mine ever since the wing was replaced , wonder if you could try adjusting the wing a little to make it fit tighter instead of the bumper.

I have this to do in a couple of weeks, have all the bushes maybe i will be ordering new bolts tomorrow also. Does the engine need lifting much to clear the bolt?

Don't worry about it Jake you will need it for cups of tea on the journey! I think I can sneak across a service road and meet you guys at the petrol station at lee deli on the east bound side. Can't meet you in the main carpark don't fancy reverseing 150 yards up the motorway slip road -

Stealth Racing Schimmel 263 group buy!
captainredeye replied to robo22sri's topic in Forum Group-Buys
I would be interested in these including a remap but dependent on the price. -
When I get spray work done again I will be more specific to what I want I think sprayers will cut corners as its quite a time consuming process , make sure when the work is done check where the door hinges are and the tops of the wings under the bonnet for over spray its difficult not to get over excited by sparkly new paint I also think its worth taking the rear window out yourself if on a budget didnt do it on mine and the masking marks by the seals really bug me

After front stainless braided hoses for the mk3 288 brake calipers with banjo fitment could you send me a price and payment details.

Bristol Volksfest 8/9/10th June *UPDATE p8*
captainredeye replied to CazzaVR's topic in Event Announcements & Discussion
Bought last years version of this in the sale for 15 pounds good tent if you need one, http://direct.asda.com/Ozark-2-Man-Tent/000938935,default,pd.html -
Replaced the gear box mount with a solid rubber job the old oil filled one went and exploded, really has made a big difference to the way the car accelerates does feel a lot smoother. I did a service as well replacing oil and the spark plugs, put it all back together and 2 or 3 cylinders weren't firing so off came the schrick manifold Again(Bah) leads were correct but cleaned every thing up with a bit of paraffin and all was working again, Nice. I wanted to hold out putting the refurbed speedies on but the old front tyres were far to worn and might of got me in trouble, shopping tomorrow for a paint to match the rims for the centre caps and also bought some plastic bolt covers in grey just to smarten things up, the rims due to the chrome paint go silver in sunlight but go a nice gun metal when its dark, think it works well with the cars pearlescent paint. I will try and get some better shots when the sun is out.

Really like the exhaust flush with the bumper.
