  1. Although i've had a few button making moments in the wet even with the traction control on. you should have heard the noise the missus made
  2. It costs me at least £60 - £70 and I never leave it till nearly empty. Can't risk running out. . . But then again it does cost about £1.05 per litre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. what an offer, money for talking about the z! my missus would give me money to shut up about it. . . sorry, i don't fit demographic either

    Anthracite Alloys

    i vote you sell them to me and then i'll powdercoat them
  5. that's comedy. pmsl esp considering how much the missus loves the real adverts.
  6. guess it's expensive if you want the luxury of having a gt4 alloy as your spare wheel Except it's not a GT4 alloy. I was thinkin that Ooops

  8. i remember someone else selling 3 as well...hmmm at least it's a private sale so you don't have the embarrasment of other people knowing you bought 1 wheel for £500 - second hand and refurbished.
  9. bet i can change gear faster then anyone ever if i bought some 'fast and furious' driving shoes and gloves
  10. me? i got it from Arnold Clark in Salford but it was on show in the Warrington branch. i've since serviced it properly and TDI fully checked it before the 30 day Arnold Clark warranty expired.
  11. this site is definately the best. no-one takes the mick and burns you down in flames regulary. . .honest oh, and there is such a wealth of knowledge joking aside, and enjoy
  12. from what i've read, a stumpier gear knob would be as beneficial as a short shifter, and easier to install and use. think this would be more useful really with the 3.9 final drive, as i'd need to do another gearchange before reaching 60mph, and 2nd gear would top out in the late 50's.

    Cosworth Plenum

    any news on the plenums? also wondering if there's any update on getting an engine cover that will fit with the plenum?
  14. i went to TDI-North and they did an excellent job, very thorough, customer friendly and fairly priced. also seemed to know what they were talking about, but it doesn't take much to baffle me. . . i'd recommend them.
  15. you can use engine breaking more, to wear out your engine and protect your brakes not sure why fast dropping revs would be good, but faster climbing revs would help
  16. i wish i knew (no offence missus if you ever reads this). . . obviously got right to use the pic i've got a quote that i'm happy with for the fitting so think i'll go ahead with that. just need to decide about the final drive. . . The JWT clutch is exedy, without the name and cheaper. i'm thinking JWT flywheel as they come as a combo deal. what type of noise does the JWT flywheel make? some noises can be good
  17. maybe so, but the car's done nearly 40,000 miles now. i took it for a service with TDi-north who first heard the rattle (i couldn't hear it before it was pointed out!!!) i wanted a new lightweight flywheel anyway and it'd be a shame to waste labour costs.
  18. Hello again everyone. i've just got the money together and thinking of getting these upgrades, but as i'm absolutely useless with mechanics and a bit thick, i just wanted to throw the upgrades past you before i fork out the ££Â£'s. my clutch needs replacing anyway, as there's a rattle on idle, and i'm pretty much settled on a JWT lightweight flywheel and clutch, but was also thinking of getting the 3.9 final drive. there isn't much info on the final drives on here and wondered if there's a reason no-one seems to interested in them. do these upgrades sound like a good idea? (i'm not planning f/i at the moment and my baby's a manual) thanks in advance
  19. Very nice mate Again curious as to the holes above the reflectors. . .

    kakimoto

    Might look better with the greddy rear bumper? Should even it out but not too keen anyway. How's the exhaust sound anyone?
  21. If it makes anyone's day even better, I got into work and DID have to be there for 1 day before I'm off again tomorrow. Still better than doing a tax return tho. . . Thought Legend was quite good. Missus didn't like it tho, bit too scary
  22. That was part of the scam. He offered to send a postal order or bankers draft to my home address for £5000 more than the asking price, and then when it clears I pay the £5000 to the shipping company. About a week later when the bank can't find a watermark on the bankers draft or realise it's fraudulent, they take the money back out of your account, making you £5000 poorer. It would be a proper kick in the **** on a cold day if it did happen. Seen loads of people fall for similar things. Scamsters are so good at it sometimes. . .
  23. i had loads of them trying it on when I was selling my last car. one scam scum showed interest, and then said he's abroad and would like to pay £5000 more than the asking price so that I could transfer this extra money to a shipping company via Western Money transfer. Thought it was a cute attempt really and gave the appropriate abusive email back.
  24. Very nice looking motor You'll stand out even in a crowd of Zeds! !

    My new toy!

    Thats where the fine art of lying comes in I've got my eye on a few things to do but can't decide what to do first and nothings cheap. It does shoot a hole in the old wallet when you first get the car doesn't it. . .Still waiting on the first payment coming out
