My ex texted today. with a blatently conversation starter of : i saw a golf at scrapyard, ect ect.
i told her to do one and shes dead to me
so happy that im finally at the point that im 100% over her. so good to move on and be happy with my life!
-
i'd love to live a life where the worst thing that happened is me getting annoyed that someone said brought insted of bought
-
It's f**king bought
I love you!

Brought a set of siezed spring adjusters for my car. Free'd them up, put them back on eBay and have had loads of interest!
Brought for £3, currently sat at £16 with 2 days left

I do, mentioned it to Soph earlier (though I won't fit a delete as would like to keep it all standard for her so will do some thinking) but will be pulling it to bits and give it a good clean out. Cheers though mate, appreciate the thought for sure.
Actually, I'll probably dig up your Briskoda thread and have another skim through the whole lot anyway. Almost certainly some other useful bits in there I'm sure
Mart - definitely makes more sense to start with a pd car (again, the 130 would be the way rather than getting a 150 really)
from what i've read, the 130 and 150 are both physically the same, just different ecu/map?
I'd really clean the egr/inlet manifold, mine were utterly hanging!

Want even better mpg Luke? Clean day Hoe out
Check my world famous guide
OK maybe not world but it got a few likes
i think luke knows how to fit an egr delete
-
ha ha, so its a gt tdi?
dam you! thinking about giving up on modifying my engine and getting a pd130/150, mine being a non pd will always be a money pit
-
which tdi lump luke?
Looks tidy, always wish i brought a 3 door
-
my grind on the rear is dead and had shit pads on before and i got given some second hand french cousts and its one of the best brakes i've had
cousts on any grind will be better than any shit pads
have you tried cousts on a fresh sharp grind? ive always found me/anyone i've spoken to find them best on a sharp grind.
-
my heatsink yellows are a good hold on the front on a dead grind
cant beat the french cousts from what i've used though
i always found that french cousts need a sharp grind to work best, and dull grinds quickly.
where as heatsink yellows work well off a milder grind, and dont wear down grinds as much!

Blood or tears?

i love their translation:
Installation:
First, the pedals are dinstinguished as L for left and R for right.
Drop some butter at the screw threads and put the locking gasket between the pedal and the brace (the smoother side faces outside).
Use the wrench to wrench the pedal tightly. (The left foot is reverse threaded).

i've notised weight differences when lightening my bike, but for a decent rider, i doubt it'd make much of a difference.
With your two examples, you'd notise the difference in brake feel/ tyre bounce before you'd notise the weight....
-
Oh herro....
Prawn, did you say that you had no issues with bleeding brakes normally on your A3?
-
Come on Prawn, show us your exhaust!
-
That's a compliment, my cars a heap compared to Nick's!
It's not really a stylish tip, mines just a bit of 2.5" stainless pipe sticking out the back
-
so it is not a CATback exhaust system, but a backboxback exhaust system?
I'm not sure if you understand the terminology, of those words, (and if you do and im just telling you how to suck eggs, im sorry!)
Cat-back simply means all the exhaust from the catalytic converter to the back of the car.
Turbo-back is from the turbo to the back of the car.
I've never heard anyone use the word 'backboxback'. You basically mean the tailpipe
-
yet you changed the functional exhaust tip to another one, because it looks cooler?
Nick wouldnt have changed just the tip
It'll be a complete performance exhaust
-
No, but that's even funnier!
-
God that "exhaust" looks shite
at least its straight

Not a bodge unless it includes cable ties

Got annoyed with my 'discreet exit' exhuast not being so discreet
Got a bit of 2.5" stainless pipe and stuck it out the back
It now rattles when you start/stop the engine
-
What brake are those levers for?
hs33 and hope mini's by the looks of it.

Just threw half a cup of coffee over myself......
