Nimrods would be ace if they were 15"s I think. Nothing beats White gti rims though!

Go buy some Autoglym engine cleaner, use that with a stiff paint brush, then wash off with a hose/pressure washer. That should get rid of pretty much anything.

Why is cleaning an engine bay so tough on the fingers
What are you using?

I wish. I've seen some that increase 900%. It's just knowing they're gonna go up before they do is the hard part.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing eh?
To be honest, if you can afford to keep your money in the shares you will make your money back. Might just take a couple of years
I wish i'd bought RBS shares when they were down at 60p back in Nov/Dec, I know of a guy that bought £10,000 worth, then sold them a few hours later for £20,000. -
Why take the head off seperate? Just driveshafts off, exhaust mani off, unplug it and drop it out! Easy as Lego, that's why I love em
If taking off the exhaust manifold is the same as on a mk2 8v golf, you have a strange idea of lego!

Cheers ben
Yes jack! Who are you on there?
I'm Ponk on the RR, I knew I recognised that car! I'm glad you've kept the Compo's, they look really good in anthracite with the moonstone.

Profile_BMX on the RR?

That clio is seriously nice, stupidly, stupidly fast too :| Power to weight FTW.
Power to weight is the Frenchies friend

yeah i will be tracking it alot this year, just need to get some cash together!
first trackday will be in febuary at bedford autodrome to test the cars capabilities in a safer place, then onto brands etc!
loving the rallyeee
have to took it down the 1/4 mile or on track before,i just got a camera for christmas so will be puttign that to good use on the tracks! going to mount it on my cage
also ive got to add another silencer to the exhaust as i think it might be to loud still. hehe
Yup, that's my plan too. I was thinking of Bedford for my first proper outing but a load of Rallye Register guys are doing Brands. I've done a few laps of the Ring and a couple of show track sessions, oh and a Dutch trackday, but that was just madness! I need to take a trip to Pod methinks!

bank transfer fella, easy, fast, cheap (no charge!), safe...
although it can take upto 5 days if i remember rightly!
what i used to do is go into the bank with money and their bank details in hand and do the transfer.
I just sold something about half an hour ago, and the guy paid via bank transfer. The money showed up ten minutes later in my account, amazing! I think i'll go with bank transfer, Paypal will rape me with charges and you can't send money to an individual via credit card can you? I'd have to ask mum nicely if you can anyway as I don't have one.

Got to love the Carbon interior
Really like the Clio, do you track it too? Never know we might get the T-F trackday of the ground, i'm doing Brands Hatch on the 28th, can't wait!
-
Evening chaps,
I'm needing to send a fairly hefty chunk of money to an individual for some car parts, he's a respected and well known member of the forum in question but i'm still wondering if there is any way I can send it that will give me some peace of mind? At the moment my options are Cheque or Bank Transfer. I will of course do the usual and get an email address, real address and phone number. Oh and paypal is out of the question as the charges will be monumental.
Cheers!

Where have you been hiding that?! Looks great, any more pics? Spec?

What can you realistically drop into a 205? might have a 1.1 coming my way and i would like a fun project.
There is the obvious choices of 1.6/9 gti engine or a gti6 (a difficult conversion i hear?) what else is worthwhile fitting?
Obvious ones are 1.6 and 1.9 gti engines. The MI16 engine is probably the most documented and easiest non 205 engine transplant, the gti6 seems to be getting more and more popular though. You can also drop in a 1.6 16v from that gti up above, but why bother when you can have 160 brake and the best induction noise this side of ITB's! Have a look on 205 drivers, all the conversions will be on there.

lol a roller wtf.
shut up prawn boring nazi wagons ftl
Yup, it was a mk3 Polo I think, i'll never understand VAG owners!
-
clean your wheels cars looking great ill bosh some pics of mine up soon enough, wont have the cage painted or welded in yet though.
Sssh you! You would be proud of me, I spent all day Monday painting a friends car Matt Camo green.
There's something strange about painting a car with a roller

Thought I should put these in here too and keep the thread alive
Lots more to come over the next few months!

Well i've got a peice of shit vtr now and i had a 106 gti for about a month. I liked the gti felt like a proper little race car, handled well and was pretty quick this also meant it was a rattley, loud, tempremental, unreliable and expensive to run so it had to go. I got the vtr instead and so far i've gone through 3 wheels, 1 stub axle, 1 clutch release bearing, 1 lower arm and front discs. In the space of about 2 months so yeah it's gonna go aswell. i'm starting to properly hate french cars. although i think i'm about to invest in a 1.6 205 gti so hopefully that will change my mind again
If you want trouble free motoring you don't want a 205
It will be even more rattley, loud, tempremental and unreliable than the 106! Will be great fun though! -
Epic fail I do believe.....
Yup, epic fail indeed! :$
This one can work though
I'll pop some pics up over the weekend! -
There's not as such, the car thread is kind of one but not make/model specific. A nice break from specific car forums for me
I guess you too are looking elsewhere now that the 106OC is paid members only? 
Edit: You could make a French car thread like there is a VW/Mini one? I tried that years ago but it died, loads more French car around here now though.
-
Sorry I can't bring myself to do it! I will have to declare myself out.

You might want to move your harness straps so they're outside the headrest leg thingys, if you crash your head might fall off otherwise! Apparently anyway. The bike carbs must make an awesome noise, one of my friends bought an old scholl Audi 80 with bike carbs, it sounded like a plane on takeoff!
