Use a VERY dilute solvent or vinegar, should get rid of the residue. What genius thought putting cellotape on was a bright idea?

MDM points > JDM

The bulb is clearly loose. Take off the cover and tighten it up.

What units is this measuring in? Inches of Mercury on one side, PSI on the other? Weird units as 1 In.Hg = 0.49 PSI

Love it. £300 Volvo estate with 11 months MOT? My kind of car. Go for rat look just for lulz, and if you want a pin up, this is off my mates Handley Page Victor bomber

Ok, firstly do not start to get the work done. £1280 for a clutch and gearbox is really high for what is, don't forget, a 13 year old car. Second. Did you not tell something was up when you test drove it? Third. You may have grounds to reject the car and get your money back, which is precisely...

I managed 330 to a tank in my FN2 on my old commute, but that was all motorway miles, 55 miles each way at 75mph.

Good luck.

Use the right thing for the job. Use a dilute Acetone (nail polish remover) to get the marks off. T Cut? Fcuk me.

Do not use T Cut!!!

Tidy car. Standard FTW.

Tell him, 'Sure, £500 test pilot fee applies''

1. No. personal preference. it runs just fine on 95 ron. 2. Yes, get the best oil you can. 3. As long as the engine is up to temp you're fine. 3. No, the engines designed to be thrashed. If it did it damage, they wouldn't put the rev limit so high.

Sticker caliper I reckon, my e36 had the same symptons.

Yeah there's no problem with firm suspension. But when it's so rigid that it crashes over bumps and tyres leave contact with the road on an average b-road then it's a step too much. Stiff set ups allied with 20" wheels isn't conducive to fast point to point driving.

Not really. A lot of manufacturers manage to build seriously fast cars without having to resort to suspension constructed out of concrete and dark matter. See BMW/Audi/Mercedes AMG/Jaguar for further info. And they're heavy cruisers not family hatchbacks. Hardcore sports car... lol.

It's impressive but a hatchback that can do sub 8 minutes on the ring is not going to be a comfortable car to live with on UK roads.

Yeah, you've not really got a leg to stand on anyway after travelling 5 hours down on a train, he would've known there was no way you were gonna trek back north empty handed. Great car btw.

£14k, own car 6 months through wettest winter ever. Sell. Go back to car that's been owned before. You should keep it through the springtime at least, seems a shame to get rid of such a beast without actually getting to know it.

This S15 was £10k well spent wasn't it :lol:

Cool man. Looks a lot better without all the stickers in the engine bay

For Sale, time for a sensible daily drive...

Not used it but incredible technology.

Find which wire the ecu uses to limit speed, and *snip*

Sorry re-read your post and seen that you have voltage to the motor so switch must be fine.

Have you tested the functionality of the switch?

Gruppe M and Tegiwa box are essentially the same thing. However the people who paid hundreds for a Gruppe M hate the fact that an identical, cheaper item came on the market. Then they cite 'intellectual property theft' and 'research and development budgets' as reason to not get one.

That Turbo sticker is pure 80's, I like.

Keep the Polo imo, sounds like you're changing for the sake of changing.

Floor staring all over the joint.

The problem isn't necessarily summer or winter tyres; it's low profile, wide tyres that just can't cope with the white stuff. My old golf on skinny wheels had no problem whatsoever. The Benz won't be as good though as it's RWD.

Paint them green. Just because.

Check the date mate, Loxy sold this a while back

Surprised it wasn't spelt Aloominum tbf.

They do, aluminium :reallycondescendingwinkingsmiley:

Beautiful. If you haven't got white woven composite core speakers you may as well splash acid in your eyes and face.

Get a grip. By that logic unless people drive something like a caterham or a westfield they're not a 'true' petrolhead either. Nothing wrong with some comforts. Don't make out that your affordable family hatchback with a 200hp engine makes you know everything about 'real' driving.

No probs :smt032

Welcome to 2013. It would be commercial suicide if a japanese manufacturer brought out a car without every new gadget conceivable. the 90's and it's EK9s and DC2s are a thing of the past. If you want a brand new car that's like that, buy a Renault, or strip out and mod an FN2/new model.

I'm sure if he went through a business he could order car paint, you can order far more hazardous things by post.

Air freight to Ascension island then boat to St Helena? Out of interest how many miles of road are on St Helena?

SM-X FTW, too

Pit boss FTW

They look ****. I can't see them having much lateral strength if you had to be pulled out of ditch at an angle either.

I used performance direct for insurance Gamblor

Only one choice for Gamblor, City of London square mile spec...

YES Rare Coupe, '79 model; OLD. DO IT

The tyre weld stuff is a PITA as the tyre is then unrepairable afterwards, so even a small puncture results in having to buy a new tyre.

Blue plug. See pic on first page

I imagine your battery is finished. Once it's been fully discharged it will struggle to hold a full charge again.

SICK.

There are loads of these cars around for sale, I wouldn't waste your time looking at ones with faults.

Slightly off topic but a 33 year old friend of mine called out the AA last night for a flat tyre on his toyota aygo. Waited 2 hours. No surprise that he is a virgin.

If you break down, just phone the RAC/AA/whatever and join. You're immediately covered on the spot.

Yeah you'll struggle online to find companies that will recognise imports, you need to speak to a specialist insurer.

Remove SRS bulb from dash.

That is horrific.

Climair top wind deflectors

Sorry to hear Dunes.

Want to be the second coolest cat on the block? Buy this. Even though it's only a 200, not a 230e, it's still sick http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1985-MERCEDES-200-AUTO-RED-ONLY-57-151-MILES-NEW-GUARANTEED-/261238133558

Fairplay as it's your car. But personally a 7 series to me is for comfortable, wallowy cruising. I wouldn't be lowering and stiffening it up. IMO

Get the GM, purely because they look like the air vents on my Benz. That, and the fact no other c**t will have them.

Scooter boy came out with some randomness

2 new Pirellis fitted to the rear axle on friday to replace the nankangs. Tyre size is lol, 185/70 R14. Proper mans sidewalls. Had a polish over the weekend as the bonnet needed a buffing up. It's gone into the garage this morning for engine and diff oil change.

Need NOS.

I like dial sweep too. It's a complete and utter gimmick, like a starter button is. But it's fun.

Love these cars. Nice one.

Only 110K on the clock, solid drive. Really wallows about on twisty roads, just what I want. No snags to mention.

Nuff said.

Insurance £115. Classic car insurance FTW.

Do it.

How much are those lads?

I had one on mine. Great sound. Couldn't comment if it gave any gains.

Potentially picking something up on saturday.

Great plan. Swoon.

Yes. Yes we do. What's the gen. Has anybody booked yet or we doing it en masse?

Subscribed.

Hilarious watching someone in a harness trying to get a map out of the glovebox. HTH

Good thread, refreshingly clean standard car.

Normal don't worry.

Good question. I was thinking about this only the other day as it's applicable to me as I last owned a car in October 2011. so need to sort myself out with a shed or lose 7 years ncb.

This is the problem if you judge insurance companies purely on price. Cheapest company is going fcuk you about and/or not pay out if you have to claim.

Cool. I had a fibre embed itself into my arm a few years ago without me knowing. became very painful and had to cut it out with a scalpel.

Hope you wore gloves with all those fibres.

Pure engine bling, nothing more. Biggest 'placebo' mod out there.

Epic trolling by GarethM. Salute. Can't believe people are actually biting. GarethM for events org.

Fcuking Scotland.

Push for 6K get another car.

Beard I want you to move to a severe flood risk area and live your entire life as an uninsurable menace.

Don't own this anymore, but beat this you bunch of amateurs

Just peel them off and use some acetone/ethanol to get rid of the residue.

You sure vtec isn't actually working?

:lol: You're a van driver now, you thank NO-ONE.

Good work. I actually preferred the aircraft style hazard light switch though.

Vtec won't work if you have a faulty speed sensor as there's a safety measure to stop people revving into vtec while stationary.

Loads of type Rs are in scrapyards, they're not special.
