  1. probably not what im thinking of but i have heard of some people who use the smaller diffs on bigger engines '36s having to put some weld on the inside of the diff so that they dont pull out? SLR shots unedited: also my mates 318is on style 47s
  2. .hate to say it but i agree, E36 sounds like the pertfect car for you as said the 1.9 318 is a nippy but economical and fun version, or the 328's are fast with a touch more fuel consumption. for that budget theres literally hundreds of E36's to choose from. (but if you get an atlantis blue one i will find you, and i will kill you)
  3. harder than it looks isnt it. one corner easy, linking two together now thats a totally different game. looks liek you had an awesome day there
  4. need less travel in the rear springs, the wheel rim still touches my arch in fast corners/bumps.
  5. what do you call stolen cheese? Nacho cheese
  6. Used swaps a few years back. Got rid of my x reg astra van for a t reg golf Agu. Rolled the arches on a lads Mk1 mx5 yesterday, shocking how much rust that car had. Sits better on the rotas now though.
  7. ah right if its a bmw box chekc the oil, its either low or old an too viscous.
  8. Pretty sure you can't just advertise for free here. By mobile you do mean north of Scotland to Cornwall? If not then no
  9. look like a mk1 focus? if so grease the f**k out of both ends of the linkages. sounds like the input(driver) end of the linkages could be a bit worn
  10. That 2002 makes me pitch a trouser tent. Spent the last 2 days hand crafting my rear arches. 28 hours of metal work in them now, the thinest skim of filler I have ever seen on panel beaten arches and a blast of bar coat and primer, I'm not 100% happy how they look but 99% will do as the rest of the car isn't perfect. Now I'll be able to tone my rear camber down from 12* to about 3* to match the fronts. Buying more paint in the morning and will have pictures on Wednesday evening. Fabbed some extra bumper mounts to bring it out to line up properly. Now thats a perfect bank holiday
  11. thank you. by the sound of that they are just scratched, not bent or cracked then. interesting
  12. can anybody translate this listing please? im mostly concearned by the wording 'als defekT'?? http://www.ebay.de/itm/10x17-RH-X-RAD-MBN-ALUFELGEN-BMW-5-7-8-2-STUCK-SCHNITZER-DESIGN-TIEFBETT-/271044557698?pt=Auto_Felgen&hash=item3f1b83bb82
  13. nah dont know the dude but i just loved how it sat. mine sits like that, when going round corners which is why my month old arches are now f**ked.
  14. yes wrayvon im about this weekend. DrDoom, known jimmy for years, yeah seen his mini plenty of times. last RR it went on was 399bhp i believe. its good work to say hes done most of it himself. you'd be very pissed off if you paid good money for it though.
  15. cr-trials.tk i think it was? danny tipple and co had a site way back when everyone had DCD's and lizard skins.
  16. by going mostly sideways
  17. not done mine but i think its cracked too. yeah the coil pack is mega bulky so id imagine it would slip out quite easily with that out the way.
  18. sorry not going to even start messsing with the engine on this one. iv spent too much lready, the Mrs wants a house, and i cant afford insurance. yes i will be at Vw Fest at the weekend, ill be camping with a group of about 20 lads. if you see me in or around my car say hi. you could even take some high res pics if you feel generous
  19. yes only a tiny bit, and at the rear of the well, right where the brake pipes run, but i have 3mm lock spacers in each side of the steering rack. i just made up a 1mm steel sheet and screwed that over to protect everything front plate back on. (both fell off and were run over, ill buy some more but plastic standard ones at VW fest)
  20. not parking sensors, that just how the bumper inserts are shaped. cheers
  21. for those who pretend to care: yes theres a dent below the boot. no theres no tyre shine on. and yes the headlight smoke is going to be removed.
  22. Is the rear anti roll bar touching right hand shaft? or is that just a mark on it unrelated? sorry to her about the damage. by the sound of it next time you will be making the other 59 cars look like they wernt even trying :bow:
