  1. The grill cut out looks like an alternator sits there. So whats under the bonnet?
  2. Same sentiment as Paul. Half the time I can't be bothered to read whats posted so I skim until I get to some pictures.
  3. I know what size but what wheels you going for? I'd love to have a clean mini like yours as a daily, but a new job means it'll be a definite no go.
  4. I hope this gets bumped up in 4 years time
  5. "Admin" charges are a little ridiculous these days but I'm sure most of them are around £15-25. That was the case when I had to change adress anyway
  6. When I did mine, I shot blasted them in the uni shot blaster and that took AGES! Etch primer, filler primer, primer, paint and laquer cost me £40 as well but that did all 4 wheels. They are 10" wheels mind.
  7. Maybe try taking the door card off and locating the solenoid. The problem could seem obvious and might save you a bit of cash.
  8. The solenoid could be broken/linkage could be dislodged.
  9. Agree'd about the successful jobs but they hardly ever happen. However, my indicator relay went on my A3 and it's concealed within the hazard switch. I queued in Euro Car Parts longer than it took me to swap it over but they always take forever when I go into ECP
  10. Integra Type R Took me a while to work out CTR (civic) and LCR (Leon Cupra R)
  11. If you don't like "custom", how about "bespoke"
  12. I believe that Tigra is the UK's fastest FWD car or something like that
  13. With logos I think simplicity is key. How about something like
  14. I think the cooling fins are a bit of a gimmick. The rear drums don't do that much anyway and it saved me a fair chunk of weight.
  15. That looks great Duncan. Glad the tracking has sorted the handling out for you. Right, I'm home for a few days so I've done a couple of bits and bobs. Cam cover ready for AN fittings to be welded on: The rear hub nuts were properly stuck on so I ended up grinding away at them and smacking them with a chisel. Finally got them off in the end. Rear radius arms built up with SC hubs and lightened superfins: Lockwired my steering arm bolts too: It's quite satisfying to do when it goes right. Want to have my rear subframe built up this week but snapped/stuck bolts are holding me back. Any ideas, I've tried welding nuts onto the ends but I can't get any good penetration and they keep snapping. Tried drilling a hole into some 2mm steel and welding them together but again can't get good enough penetration.

    So they have. What a coincidence.

    My friend has an S3 and I was really impressed by it. Ice Cream Sandwich makes my 4S seem a little dated, hopefully Apple will release an update soon to compete.
  18. Its done on distance between bumpers
  19. Comfy motorway cruiser does me fine.
  20. Strangely I found a 1.9TDI more to insure than my 1.8 NA petrol A3
  21. The weakest part would be the tie bar so I'd expect that to take most of the shunt
  22. f**k that! It's soo windy up there too. Bunch of nutters
  23. My rear drums weigh 1.3kg. The standard steel non spacered ones weigh 2.3kg. Yea weight weenie!
