  1. Could get cheaper else where, the autos go for even cheaper than normal with lower miles due to being hard to shift on. Looks nice enough though, but then photos never tell the full story
  2. Bloody media with their horrible, horrible lies!
  3. Volvos fault this, with their bloody always on lights!
  4. A loan for a car is a fools game. It's a massive lose lose situation in every respect. Save up for a GT4...can get 'em for not that much these days. £4k ain't a lot for that kinda power is it!
  5. fuck man it's a good looking motor that. Dibs on it if you decide to sell. No denying the GT4 is a fucking EPIC machine though, just spent 20 minutes watching oldskool rally vids of the ST205 and it's just awe inspiring. I say sell up, get a GT4...life's too short
  6. Ah ok, I know exactly what you're talking about but can't remember the fackin' name! Will root around in my rotten brain box and try remember
  7. Turtle Wax contains a lotta fillers and abrasives that temporarily fill swirls but actually make them worse. the BEST wash and go stuff you can get (that isn't bordering into dickhead expensive territory) is Meguiars Gold Class car wash, it's good for getting shit off and leaving a decent layer of protection afterwards, gives a nice glossy shine too when used with warm water http://www.impactglazing.co.uk/images/Autocare/gold_class_car_wash_large.jpg £15 for a large bottle from Halfords.
  8. here you go, enlarge it by clicking on it...I think the pipe I've indicated (the blue line literally ends on it as it's obscured in the pic) is the one they're talking about? I think the expansion tank cap thingy might be the one directly to the right of the rad cap, white tube with a black lid on it. I stand to be corrected though as I'm unsure, but kinda makes sense seeing as that's where all the cooling stuff is located!
  9. Bulkheads the bit between the engine and you...so the firewall...the bit at the back of the engine bay the rad cap is the radiator cap...at the front of the engine, it's basically a lid bit you can unscrew expansion cap...dunno, let someone else fill you in on that! The pipes are the only ones going into the bulkhead. lemme see if I can get a pic and edit it to make it easier for you
  10. All you need is a smooth surface...and it has to be clean. The vinyl self adheres via heating it up to mould it to the shape of the item you're wrapping. If the wheels are badly kerbed and so on...they'd probably be better off being sanded down to make them as smooth as possible and then sprayed. Ray at RTP informed me that you really need to wait 6 weeks after spraying something before sticking wrap to it, I'd imagine it'd because the paint and wrap would bond together and make a REET mess when you come to remove the vinyl.
  11. So it's you bloody plonkers who tear all the roads up over winter !
  12. Been done by lotsa people on various forums I've been on. Even a video on youtube showin you how to do it. Wouldn't bother with anything 3d as above..would collect shit in no time. I'm debating wether to wrap mine in matte black till winter buggers off.
  13. 450 minimum Doubt it, I have done all sortsa journeys in all sortsa cars and cant say doing short runs regularly has caused any issue.
  14. Sounds like you're getting shite mpg there mate, I do 450 miles a week and I'm putting £280 a month.
  15. *stands corrected* That's good to know, I fucking love those wheels but couldn't be arsed with the spacers thing I thought was an issue. Hmmmm...future plans!
  16. yeah they're force those ones mate Yeah you'll need hub adaptors for them, I was under the impression (briefly remember reading something on here by someone) that the Grids don't come in 5x100 and Rota don't do one offs in them. I might be massively wrong though so apologies if I am!
  17. bang on a 12 point socket and get it off that way if the MR.T option is too pricey
  18. Oh so it's an active thing for it to be attached to the handbrake! I had a mega-lol at the thought of it at first, but obviously it now makes sense in my brain box. Sorry to thread-hijack a little, but what double din headunit fits the gen 6 console nicely without having to butcher stuff?
  19. Surely the key is the pointless bit haha. Can see the point on the new cars with keyless intry and that.
  20. Are start buttons of any use other than a visual thing? You still have to put the keys in, turn it to the tick just before ignition and then press the button init?
  21. gt st, sounds like the ultimate hybrid between a 1.8 and a 2.0! Whoever owns it is clueless by the sounds of it. It's a prefacelift...so if it's an import it's an SS2...which all came with 3sge if I'm not mistaken? Unless it's an ST in which case it came with the 7a-fe..which is decent but mega gutless.
