I have a habit of naming cars. Current faff is Ratty, ratty by name, ratty by nature.

How long did you wait for the fishing boat to come in?

£1000 exhaust blimey ..
Easy to do, I have receipts for my faff exhaust system that total over £1000 before fitting!
-
Faff - £1500 for the car and around £600 - £700 which is mostly a mines ECU and top end rebuild. Had for almost a year.
190 - £700 for the car and around £200 - £250 mostly on spares from ams to get it back in shape. Had for just over a year.
My last faff cost £6000 (Cheap at the time) I spent £6000 on it. Had it two years and sold it for £6000.

One or two gaskets.

Custom lighting in rear Rear what? Light cluster, boot, cabin??? Either way LED's are cheap and easy to wire in these days.
Looks like the rear lights have been replaced with pre facelift units!?
I am assuming, of course, that the GT had the same facelift as the GT4.

Got a gen 7 GT,
The doors being so long can be bit of a pain in the arse at times when you are in the underwidth parking bays you often find everwhere.
Lol, you should try and VW Corrado!
-
But on that note, I wish the gear ratios were spaced better, meaning that it wouldn't drop me out of the powerband when changing up!
I only find it drops out of 'lift' between first and second, just a solid howl though the rest of them!
What don't I like, G7 - Feels cheap inside, but at the same time the car feels taught, light and responsive if you catch my drift.
G6 - It's broken.
-
Easy, I had the large one, proper covered the Celica, just about fitted the Octavia estate too!
-
I started with a cheapy, but it was crap, the car was as wet under it as the grass was, and when it got frosty the cover froze to the car and fell to bits getting it off! It got replaced with a Halfords advanced one which I thought was pretty decent, covered the car, stayed on in the wind and I didn't notice the car being wet at all. I plan on getting another before the winter sets in.

Ok, so it didn't come in the post, but I got these
-
Large car parts in the living room! I'd get shot if I tried that!
-
I live in a farmhouse, but my celica is in bits so I can't drive it down to the sign!
-
The start of something noisy ;-) (arrived yesterday but the site was down)
-
Mines ECU arrived this afternoon. I guess that's my evening sorted!
-
While trying to sort out the boot rattles on CCJ I removed the left and right hand side storage/tray things and found a pile of cornflakes under one of them!?
-
I think HC's just unburnt fuel.
I guess a high reading would mean over fueling, poor conbustion or a poorly seating valve or something.
-
nice one
pre-MOT jitters are creeping in for me with my 194k SR 
lol, you should try it with a 23 year old car which hasn't had one since 2005!
I hate MOTs
-
Arn't they meant to be stored at a low pressure? Of course without the weight of the car sitting on them.
-
If you like the '6' keep it, if you want a '7' get one, if you like the '6' but want more get a GT-Four.
-
Isn't it from when they became electronic, I assume the little A5 hand written ones wouldn't be on there.
-
I've got most of them but from my old Octavia, it's just the parts I haven't sold yet!
-
I think the trick is to drive quietly past the 5-0.
I didn't think there was a set, hard and fast limit. I just thought it had to be in keeping when the car? So my classic rally car is allowed to make more noise than a corsa

Just wondering how yours in faring. To be honest mine is running the best it ever has done. I think i blew out lots of cobwebs. It seems to pick up do much better in every gear. I do a crappy 2 mile drive to work and back each day and i think my ecu has learned to run on choke a lot more, but driving around at 7000rpm in third gear all day has worked wondered. It was also a relief to learn my "sparking" brakes were perfectly normal when pushed, due to the compound in the pads apparently. How cool is that!?! So how is yours doing?
Otherwise known in the trade as an 'Italian Tune Up' ;-)

Fix the dent, give it a damn good polish then go for a drive, not to go anywhere but just for the sake of driving.
