sorry repost buddy

its not matt silver its aids

the dools repositions the air filter where the smic where. if i was you i would have a caht wityh my local exhaust fabricators and get them to bend a peice of stainles sto suit. then lengthen the maf connection to relocate it. or the other option is to seperate the front cavity. i know a few of the amarericans do this. using a vented nose panel taht is sectioned away from the fmic. i suppose you only need a sheet of something light witha hole in it. il draw you apicture cos im struggling to follow myself. right this is what im thinking the red is teh modified pipework. im no expert theres proablly areason to nopt do this but hey. makes sense to me

he was pointing out his starting point for slowing down v.s :D

sorry to hijack al but where did you get taht gem shaped mesh from. me likly

it looks broken!

how much am i looking to convert the front end to 99 spec. cant find car mads price for them, obviously i would need the new indictors aswel. and the labour side any ideas ball park guys?

ha i surprised we have never driven past eachother i live in ringwood half the week and drift out sailsbury way and bournemouth the other half and drift out west dorset way

your not driving some 12bhp mk1 golf mate more rubber is better

when i first got mine lots of things were weird or intermitent speedo, hicas cruise etc. gave ita darn good driving a few times and it all seem sto just come back.

might have just settled a bit and need working loose.

drove down to dorchester 75 miles door to door. used under quater of a tank and i wasnt driving like a choir boy i think thats alright over mixed driving situations :D wasnt driving like a hooligan either tho.... had a prelude try to undertake me on a 50 streach because i was doing 55 lol soon sorted him out! and a group of lads in a beemer at a round about who looked rather pike and angry they got a good dose of piss off. and the best news of all i didnt even piss itself after i turned it off :clap: its so nice to get out and enjoy driving this car. only downside is i got home and realised my front number plate had flown off. :(

i recon master clynder. had this hapen on acapri a few years back id cracked a brake line going down the road. might be worth investigating the linkages down there if its really loose

we have some massive ones round here even at standard ride hight you have to go over them in the single figures. really puts me off dropping it. plus the fact that the rac wont tow lowered cars...... did you know that?

its recoverabe then right? im doing teh right thing re applying laquour in the correct enviroment?

yeh i did it outside on the patio after work. silly really should have known. its a hell of a lot better but not 100% gone yet

i was looking at removing the stndard water temop gauge from the cluster and fitting an aftermarkrt(more reliable one) i take it this is simply a case of removing the cluster popping the old one out and popping the new one in and using teh existing cables? does anyone produce a combined oil and water temp? seems a good idea. im guessing taht would require a sandwatch plate and sender tho? final question what exactly should i be looking for gauges wise? any spefic types to look for i want to keep teh look fairly stock and dont want to brake the bank

yup a nice coat in the warm has cured about 95% of teh problem. if we get some nice dry weather over the weekend il give it another coat that should see it off . phew

dumb lucky yank

thats cos they drive barley anywhere and make their bfs drive if its anywhere new

i just tried a dusting over one of teh worst areas with some more laquor it went clear again. hopefully i can do this to the whole thing and solve the problem.....

i spose jimmer isnt to far from you. i live in dorset lol. have a look about for the other bits first may also be worth running your ecu for faluts

sorry forgive my grammer issues.... i meant the rear bumper and exhaust in combination dont work. not that the bumper itself looks silly

look at all that bodywork then that silly standard exhaust. looks ridiculous with that rear bumper!
