    Car

  2. One of the best things I have ever done and my only regret is letting life get in the way of doing it. Been riding a few years now with a ZX6R & a ZX9R... only downside is that the car will never put that smile on my face again.
  3. It is still going to idle faster at startup, the choke is on. Don't drive it until the revs have settled down to normal, doesn't take that long, and no driving under load until up to temp.
  4. If you're near R-Tech then go there mate. Nick knows these engines inside and out and doesn't take the mick with the prices either. I drove up there from Surrey and he fixed my lazy actuator before taking it to stage 2, cannot say enough good things about R-Tech
  5. You can work out the power from the amount of air the MAF is reading IIRC
  6. The golf will always feel quicker as standard, less weight and no real backside to them, but even as standard it shouldn't be that slow. It might look spotless but still have an issue with DV, N75, rotten hoses etc
  7. I've just had my brake fluid changed today... £45.00
  8. Is there not a way to knock out the sensor? Sort of defeats the object of having a shallow sump if I have to have the sensor at the bottom. I take it I can't just short it, it's gonna take a resistor or some type of re-coding?
  9. I did see that one but I will need gaskets, sealant and for the difference in price Awesome would be the better option. On another note, the shallow sumps don't come with an oil level sensor hole?
  10. I have just got a call from a VW specialist who is servicing my car to tell me that on the last service the sump plug was over tightened which has stripped the thread. I had noticed a small drop of oil coming out over the last year, but only the odd drop. Anyway, rather than replace the standard sump I might as well go shallow so... Anyone know of any really good deals at the moment? I have looked at Awesome who want £131.99 + P&P.
  11. You could take it into a local garage and ask them to crack it for you.
  12. Yeah mate, long time no hear, been a few problems but it's slowly getting sorted. Yeah, I meant to say, it involves breaking a few clips.
  13. As in my signature... Blueflame turbo back with decat... Sound lovely now it has mellowed in
  14. Has anyone got the Alpine Image Convertor for the iDA-X100 or the iDA range of multimedia receivers?
