  1. Fill up a dustbin with water, use a pressure washer and instead of connecting the hose to the tap put it into the dustbin full of water and let it suck it out
  2. Bakes100

    Engines

    Also LED rear lights, these add around 5whp
  3. I started with.... Not my picture.. Fiesta 1.1 LX (the one with the rear speakers ) Then this.. 306 XSi 2.0 8v Followed by.. 205 Gti-6 Then.. Leon Cupra R And now!...
  4. Are these genuine Motordyne plenums or replicas?
  5. They were pre-spacer fitting sadly so the wheels are hidden in the arch still. Spaces photos to follow after a wash this Sunday
  6. After seeing AsianUK's freshly cleaned car images I thought id post up my own from a couple of weekends ago Products used... Carlack 68 Shampoo - 2 bucket method Carlack 68 Nano Systematic Care Carlack 68 Long Life Sealant Meguiars High Gloss Tyre Gel Rain X on the windows As you can tell...I get on well with the carlack 68 stuff! Was hoping to get some Vics concours wax on there but it was getting a bit late. One thing I have never done is clayed a car, do people think it is worth it?? Thanks for looking
  7. Scroooooollllllll!! Looking decent, get some tyre gel on there though, grey tyres spoil a clean black car
  8. 'Stainless steel exhaust' , I wouldnt of thought that would be very straight!
  9. Like this .. My old car, it had a 2.0 Gti6 engine, 6 speed gearbox, coilovers, big brakes, etc etc etc
  10. Another vote for the Bosch aero blades here
  11. I think this thread needs to be FILTERED ..... anyone see what I did there?? .... anyone? .... no?
  12. When it was renewal time on our admiral multi-car we just rang up and reeled off the cheapest quotes we could find and they matched them then took a certain percentage off the lot.
  13. Dont forget that if there is a very slight runout in the hub that will be amplified the further to the edge of the disc you get
  14. Looking good, not too far from me! How you finding the Tanabe exhaust?
  15. I've spotted a few bad drivers just from reading the forum and can't wait for them to post something stupid, does that make me a good driver? Hmm, well you don't have to be able drive at all to use the forum so unfortunately I dont think forum skills translate directly into real life driving situations so it doesn't count unfortunately Id rather crash my computer than my car
  16. A good driver is one that can spot a bad driver and be prepared for them to do something stupid
  17. Hope your not planning on servicing it using the scissor jack!
  18. The 205 Gti out front is doing alright !
  19. On a slightly different note whenever I go out in my car in the very cold weather I tend to test find an open, empty piece of road and lean on the brakes reasonably hard just see how it reacts to the conditions, I can then drive accordingly. I tend to notice all too often that other road users gauge their speed on how sunny it is or if its raining or not. Loads of crashes seem to happen in my area where there is a sunny morning after a cold night and people head out and drive at their usual speed. ..maybe slightly off-topic but fits in with the 'knowing you limits' and judging conditions and driving accordingly I suppose.
  20. Does the Mrev2 include all the documentation to prove its a motordyne?
  21. Pre match handshakes are a waste of time before a game, let the players shake hands with each other after the game if they wish. I wouldn't want to shake hands with someone I don't like.
  22. In my experience a decent front wheel drive car is fun.. Eg 306 gti6, 205 gti, clio 172 cup and even an accord type-r (probably integra and ctr, never driven though) All of these can easily be tail happy if provoked (in the 205's case all the time!) Whereas a poorly set up fwd car is painful to drive fast like a mk4 golf and a LCR in standard form. Focus ST for me fall somewhere between the two not terrible, but not up there with the best. Can't comment on how other RWD cars compare against the Zed though as its all I've driven.
