my handbrake failed the MOT in january. i dismantled the drums to discover one of my extended studs hadnt been pressed in properly and had worn through the self adjuster spring holders (little pieces of metal that go between the spring and self adjuster). it was easy to discover, because when i...

take off the airbox/filter, leaving the TB on its own. put some nice spark plugs in gapped to around 2mm, and some copper cored HT leads. take off the back box and mid cat. put on an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and whop the fuel pressure up to 4bar. my old one ran 112.2bhp on the TDI...

no doubt! but cappucinos are still pretty expensive...

for twin or bi-turbo ideas, look at suzuki cappucinos. their engine is a 770cc turbo.

as titled. these came off my '99 Si. theyre in pretty decent condition. no big scratches or dents or anything. just dusty from being stored in my garage! full set of bulbs included. open to offers. located south manchester

love this colour!

ok, so i ran it with the manifold, but thats it!

i guess a fuel starving issue. more fuel in the tank could be the solution.

yeah. the trouble with only using 1 set of moles is they dont have the staying power, or the surface area. get a load on, and it takes some pressure off the rest. get that vice out asap!!!

ive found the best way is to use 3 or 4 sets of mole grips on the damper rod. put them in a vice and you'll get enough grip on the damper rod.

bashing it with a hammer is the right thing to do. there is a little clip on the end of the driveshaft that holds it in place, and the same at the differential. if you've pulled it out of the engine side, your gearbox oil will fall out! you have to be very careful refitting the driveshaft to the...

its quite easy. buy a whole new rear wheel hub. 1) chock the front wheels and jack up the rear of the car. 2) remove the wheel: 21mm socket. 3) take off the handbrake. 4) remove the drum: if its stiff, use some tyre irons to pull it off. 5) remove the hubcap: you're supposed to use a cold...

pickup from where?

i had a tight budget for my wheels. i ended up buying almera gti wheels. 5 for £90 from right here on the forum. they're 15s, so i dunno if itll suit the style you want, but if you buy the right tyres, they work out as the cheapest option. i drive Toyo T1-r tyres, and theyre available as a...

haha genius! i'd got myself convinced that the exhaust is always the lowest part of the car, but thats because id forgotten most people have front ARBs! i took mine off nearly 2 years ago now, and kinda forgot they existed!!!!! nice underfloor by the way!

any advice on how to remove the panhard rod would be greatly appreciated. ive managed to remove the top bolt, and the lower nut, but naturally the bush is siezed onto the stud. has anyone done this job with any success, or did you end up butchering the lower bush?

swallow it

what do people do for a front lower strut brace. im worried about ground clearance issues, as the brace will have to go below the front-rear member and exhaust.

go to halfords, and ask them to do a health check on your battery. they can tell you if one of the cells is dead.
