just wondered if youd seen this allready

As above I'm after some parts being picked up for me please

A Tapping noise is coming from the top back of the engine. I havent driven the car for about 2 months. You can seem to hear it at the end of the first and second gear and just before you change gear, after that it seems to go away. What do you guys reckon?? Lifters i hope!

as above, are SWB coilovers and LWB coilovers different? many thanks

Since being placated by being told that my CHG wasn't blown and my engine was 'as strong as an ox', I celebrated by fitting a MINES ecu. (Cheers Big_Jim) Now, there's no question that it's made a remarkable difference to the car along with the decated exhaust and cone filter, but I'm not convinced I'm getting the best out of my turbos. It's worth noting that otherwise the engine is, (AFAIK), stock. The most boost I get, (according to the stock guage), is one notch under the '7', but I'm sure before, (not sure before what TBH), it would go all the way to '7'. So, would the ECU have, (for some ridiculous reason), reduced the boost or should I be looking at so…

Does anyone know if there is a write up on replacing the rear hicas ball joints,:ohmy: looks like mine are shot.:taz: Cheers.

Needs some work to make it look better however some parts that could be sold on and a nice base project. I know it looks horrible at the moment but think about the potential

struggling to find a swb exhaust i want, so question is, is it possible do you think to alter a lwb 1 to fit the swb?

Hi guys, took the car for a drive tonight and coming round the last corner to drive up my road and suddenly the power steering just became none existent. Pulled up on the drive and fluid was dripping all over the drive, looked down the road and sure enough there's a trail of fluid leading from where it went all the way to the car. As it was going dark I havnt had chance to to investigate other than a quick look with a torch around the power steering pump, and its covered in fluid. There was no whining or noise from the pump before this happened but I think there might have been a small leak coming from somewhere. I suppose this isn't an easy question to answer on…

is there suposed to be a spring in it .. as i had to swop mine at some point i think on the PDF on here looks to be a spring but the pic is poor carnt make it out think i may have lost it when swopping them due to the plunger falling out :)

hi everyone does anyone know where i can get some wheel spigot spacers from..

Hi every one would someone know where i can get some spigot spacers for the back of my wheels many thanks...

Does anyone know if the engine mounting points are the same on a 200 and 300? Or is it custom mounts needed for an engine transplant?

Today I took the front bumper off as there was a few jobs I wanted to do, first of which was to sack off all the unneccessary junk and extra weight that wasn't required. Fog lights came out as I've got carbon fog light ducts, removed the support bar, removed the intercoolers as I've got ARC ones fitted now, due to the intercooler upgrade I wanted to make sure there was maximum airflow both sides of the intercoolers, so removed the washer bottle - I'll be relocating a small one elsewhere, headlight washer stuff, overflow tank, carbon canister etc. Picture afterwards: much less clutter. plenty of room behind intercooler, fitted my…

I had a quick search and couldn't find anything to show LWB TT offset vs SWB TT offset? a few questions: - Are the offsets front and rear the same for a SWB TT as they are for a LWB TT? - also would this set of Enkei's that I picked up recently, fit stock SWB TT arches? sizes are as follows: FRONT = 18" x 9" (ET +17) 5x114.3 tyres: 225/40 REAR = 18" x 10" (ET +23) 5x114.3 tyres: 255/30 *also, I picked up a pair of SSR's in Japan, how far outside the rear arches would they sit and would the inner clear the shocks?: REAR = 18" x 11.5" (ET +16) 5x114.3 tyres: 295/30 (stretched) many th…

sat down in the canteen today, when someone came in and says "have u seen all that oil under your car". i go out to investigate and cant open car by remote due to taking it appart and putting batterys back the wrong way, so the alarms blaring when i open the door with key. i see red stuff all over the road, asking someone wot the red stuff could be, i was told it was steering fluid which made sense as the mess was rite above the where that was. i go back again and they are all pissing em selfs, turns out someone chucked ribena on the road under the car.

ok after connecting all engine up i couldnt get any fuel to the injectors for the car to start .. and i found out that the FPR isnt opening so when i rigged up the fuel line directly away she goes ... this problem has only started since i replaced the engine i tuck the vac pipe off and its sucking well so i know the prvr soleniod is working how much pressure does it need for the fpr to work ?

Went to the garage to get my brake pads changed in time for Zrun and the fking idiots have only just went and broke my BMC seal... :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
