I was all set to buy my car and searched GOOGLE for some facts and figures on the 300 when I came by this site. Have had a few moments but think its very good and I am glad I did. :duffer:

First i get a beautiful baby boy :hyper: then my friends brings me a bargain. 2nd hand exhaust for my Z. 4 1/2 inch slash cut stainless steel back boxes, mid section and a pair of decats. and they cost me a total of :hyper: £75 :hyper:

Guys... Anyone know where I can get this done? I am in Essex so anywhere close would bve good. Any idea on cost? I was quoted £200 but since I am only getting the rear tailgate and the 2 tiny rear windows done thought that a bit steep.....!!!! Ta

I meant to post this a few weeks back. I went to check my tyre pressure as it was looking low since the chimp in Bathwick tyres (stonehouse, plymouth) fitted new rear tyres. I remember asking him if the valve was ok because it was spinning in its fitting, and he said it was fine. When I went to check the pressure the nut on the valve popped off INSIDE the tyre and the tyre went flat. I had to take the wheel off, fit the space saver, and drive into Truro and get the tyre taken off, retrieve the offending nut and get it put back on again! This happened in the middle of a 200mile journey, if it had gone on the road I could be brown-bread now!! I was going to see the people a…

Went to a local meet last night as my last show in the 300 before i break it, was asked if I would enter it into a sound off competition. Had all the car rigged with meters then let it have a bit of prodigy managed 141.1 decibells come 5th out of 10 with the winner 146. db and spending over 20k on his install.

hi guys just to inform you of what happened to me over the last few weeks. It started when I noticed a vibraton after continous driving on the motorway, and noticing an abnormal amount of heat from the front brakes, she was due a service so I took her in and told them about the vibration, I was informed that as part of a full service the brakes would be checked etc. I picked the car up and they indicated minor faults but nothing to do with the brakes, so a few days later I set off on a journey roughly 75 miles, I got less than 15 when I had the vibration again, it got that bad I pulled over into a services and got the car recovered to my destination, on inspection by …

Well started stripping all the stuff i either dont need or or upgrading So today as its nice and sunny i took out all the interior, left the front seats in for the time being removed the traction control - pita removed all the ice - pita lol removed all the gauges - pita :rofl: and a few other bits then pit everything back together so the traction and gauges will be sent out soon to the guys who have bought them :) Will start taking pictures of the project to keep you all uptodate Mike

Fella, you really dont want a lambo

ok so i knew i wouldnt be able to afford a zed yet, so ive turned to a 1.8 gti turbo. good cars apparently but the most i can afford is £4,400 which only buys me a '99 model with 100k on the clock. does anyone know anything about them and should i be wary of one with such high mileage? do the turbos go as this would obviously be expensive...?? its all vw history and regularly serviced, i can tell its been looked after but with this mileage i am still unsure. i cant afford for loads to go wrong after spending this sort of money... its had a cambelt change and the water pump also replaced. anything else that is likely to go wrong, engine-wise? my 205 gti…
