offset will be wrong to,they will be sunk in really badly so will need pretty big spacers
-
dont drop it anymore, perfect as it is

better pics to follow, this one was after the tyres were fitted so dirty.
they have been freshly powdercoated in a dark grey with a subtle silver flake. the only marks on them are on the inside from the tyre fitting machine. tyres are pirelli`s , 2 are very good, 1 is good, the other is borderline.
the offset must be lower than the standard alloys for a fabia 1 because the wheels seem to fit better as in not sunk in, they are closer to the wing.
presume they will fit octy`s aswell.
only asking £300

oh the trials of car insurance.
ive got a 400hp scooby, endless list of mods protected no claims , costs me 550, the same company wanted 750 for a standard fabia vrs. in the end after alot , and i mean alot of sniffing around i got them both insured for 1050. the explanations i was getting really p***ed me off. ie "because it was my everyday car i would be more likely to crash it" but i thought the risk was evaluated through my ncb not which car i chose to drive. basically how the insurance see it is you could have 20 years ncb but as soon as you step into a corsa you will crash.....

Yes. It just pulls out. Make sure you refit the top and bottom seal when you fit the new filter.
Tip, buy a 32mm socket to remove it or you may destroy the plastic head. Also refit it to the correct torques, or you may destroy it, too.
bottom seal??? oh dear didnt see a bottom seal

i never use sills , i always jack cars on where the wishbone bolts to the subframe

feel the glass, after a drive , it`ll be warm if heated

a deeper red would have looked better, usually red goes well with black but have to admit they dont look too good in that pic

Loved BFBC2 but BF3 on xbox just wasnt very good. In theory it was better than COD but in practice it just wasnt. No where near as fluid. Gerneral gun handling and hit detection where just not tight enough. If it handled like COD on BF maps etc then it pretty much would be perfect. It was also quite jaggy looking on the consoles so i cant see a new version doing any better. Needs the next gen of consoles to get the best out of it IMO. I will still probably buy it but not if it comes out on xbox 360 as i actually thought BFBC2 looked and played better than BF3.
COD does get tiresome after a while as its so fast and frantic and you dont get rewarded for strategy. A lot of the time its luck that determines who wins a gunfight and basically how quick you can aim. Dont get me wrong COD is fine for a quick blast but not for prolonged sessions. My BF3 disc hasnt been back in since 2 weeks after the game was released.
Now i think about it though im getting a tad bored of BLOPS2 so for a change i may boot up BF3 again as sometimes a long abscence from a game can re-kindle some lost enjoyment for it.
I just hope the new consoles release something like ARMA as i used to love playing this on my old PC in massive multiplayer sessions. OK it was as buggy as hell and my PC struggled to run it but i loved the concept of that game. Even loved playing the original operation flashpoint on PC. This online in massive RTS or MFCTI games was epic. I doubt games like this will ever get released for a console though as there dosnt seem to be the market for them. Look at the sequel OFP titles on console. Laughable.
same boat for me kinda.
i bought bf3 after seeing the demos but it was poor on xbox, too glitchy and not smooth, used to give me a headache. sold it after a week - what a diappointment
i `m getting bored with the cod series tbh but they play well and you can play tactically if you wish especially in a clan, not me btw.

could be a few things
1st guess would be sticking idle control valve

Where are you btw, I know someone who does it £35 a wheel including the powdercoating.

I think sand blast was just a generic term the op was using. It's media blasting these days don't you know lol.

it all about the lacquer, unfortunately the best stuff is 2k lacquer out of a gun, goes on lovely and is really thick. the stuff out of a can tends to be really thin in my experience. ive done loads in the past but cant be arsed these days, i would just get them powdercoated

pushing it slightly lol, i`m going to to it on friday with the clutch , oh what fun, i knew about the clutch though so was expecting that. but it does make you wonder about service history if they havent done the cambelt
-
bought the missus a 1.4 tdi fabia, on an 04 plate 115k
its been serviced every 10k but no mention of a cambelt change anywhere. obviously i am going to have to do one but would it really have not had the cambelt done after all these miles
cheers steve

ive never had it happen before lol. if it was a steep hill yeah i would have put in in gear

went to a pub today (i didnt drink btw) parked up on a slight hill. went away for 10 minutes car had, rolled into a mini cooper.
a friend of mine was there and tried to stop it, didnt roll far but far enough to have put a scratch on the minis bumper and knock the plastic out around the fog light. the owner was there lol.
came back to find this, the handbrake was pulled up but i could of pulled it further but i`m sure when i put it on originally it felt tighter than when i went back to it and reapplied it.
a guy in a bora who was there said he had a similar problem with the brakes expanding with heat and then cooling and contracting hence rolling forward. btw it took 5 minutes before it rolled.
has this happened to anyone else btw or am i special lol

"it overheats because of the power on a standard body"
What are you on about?
It overheats because you've got a coolant problem which may be just a leak or something more serious.
No offenses but from your description car sounds like a nail
-
white smoke can be oil, hot but not burnt as in leaking down the Exhaust, can be a sign of knackered turbo seals.
Note. I know petrol turbos well but know fa about diesels

any pics of lights on the car

the octy must be boring if you think the furby has got character. its a great all rounder and i do like mine but character it aint got
