  1. Crank it with king lead disconnected to build oil pressure, then fire away. Have a keen eye for leaks.
  2. Only acceptable if you're a female, bro.
  3. Burgstube, or Fuchsröhre for accommodation, decent guest houses with good beer. You'll get a good meal at the comfy corner in adeneau, the chinese is meant to be decent in adenau too. If you want massive, but crappy pizza go to pinnochios. Ring'werks and the museum is a decent way to spend an hour or two when the track is closed. Plenty of walking to be had around the track, I like to head into the woods and just sit quietly watching cars scream past, weird, but very therapeutic. The track demands respect, just as you think you're getting it, you'll approach a part of the circuit quicker than you have done before, or someone will be in the way. Drive it like you would a country road. We'll not get into the whole insurance debacle, best not to worry about that. But know, if you drop fluid, and cause a crash as a result you will be liable for damages to the 3rd parties vehicle. Your insurance WILL NOT cover that, it just wont. Friend of mine went off and brought some mud onto the track, a GT3 following him hit the mud and crashed. Long story short, my friend had to pay for a GT3 out of his own pocket. But if you know the risks, and are willing to take them, more power to you. I will now only ever do track days, or rent something from rent4ring. Have fun though, it's mega out there.
  4. Is this up and running yet? When can I buy the mount kit for it?! ;) Chop, chop. Oh, serious questions, how does this compare to the 4efte weight wise?
  5. It should be stamped on the wheel somewhere. PCD and ET My mate is in Mirfield so not s million miles away but needs to know the above.
  6. Will @ RDT did mine, very knowledgeable chap and I'd recommend him. The other person who seems to map EVERYTHING is Wayne of Chip Wizards, but getting him on the phone can be quite the task. Both northern though, so you'd have a bit of a travel, but I would say it was worthwhile.
  7. What offset / PCD are on these? Have a friend who's interested.
  8. Proper! I've pretty much come to the conclusion that when the 4efte goes in mine it will be replaced by something else, K20 is on the list of possibilities.
  9. Hi, Anyone got a fool proof way of checking the rear calipers are working as they are supposed to be? I understand than can seize up, and just want to be sure they're OK. Cheers Tim

    EP82 Steering Rack

    Cheers Rob, that would be helpful. Not far away at all, in fact I visited your workshop about 11 years ago for a vent to replace the one I had skillfully removed from my car undamaged, only to run it over!

    EP82 Steering Rack

    As above, needed for a friend along with tie rods and universal joint that connects to the steering g column. Let me know what you've got.
  13. *shakes head*
  14. Cool.. A friend of mine is looking to fit one to his MK1 Golf, quicker rack apparently and they bolt straight on. I'm waiting for more information from him before throwing up a wanted thread, will mention the input shaft, thanks for the input.
  15. Can anyone tell me if a EP9* rack will fit a EP8*? If so, are there any differences between GT/Glanza and other power steered starlets? Turns lock to lock and so forth? Cheers
