gee has a point, i used to use 195/45's on my old n/a, but i use 195/50's not and its miles better.

or if you feel handy with fibreglass you could make a custom bumper like i did for my old n/a.

happy birthday buddy have a good 'un.

nice camera work! i love night photo's... you can get some great affects.

im 22 with 3 years ncb.

lol nah, i had 3 years of rattling out my teeth... i'll have some ride comfort thankyou please!

lifesure reconise it also. im @ £800 full comp all mods declaired.

no, as i dont want to disturb it if it is fucked, as i cant afford a new one till the end of the month. but thats the plan. get dizzy and rotor arm sorted when i get paid. i really dont want to have to spend £90 on a set of leads if it isnt the dizzy though.

nah, i hit fuel cut twice, once when i had a boost leak and the other when i was setting up the boost level. i know the feeling bud... i felt the same! see i have quite a bit of grip in first, it does spin a bit, but not like you'd expect 130bhp, it almost feels simular to my old n/a. yeah, gonna take out the bov today and see what happens. i have a sneaking feeling it might be the leads atm, because when i took them out to change my plugs i found water marks round the second lead (around the stem) it does feel almost as if its maybe running on three? but it idle's fine?

oli will confirm the n/a on springs was a fucking nightmare, it was far too stiff, the tanbe's seem to be fairly stiff, but the ride comfort thru big holes is miles better than the pi's and the small bumps seem non existant.

the ecu is fitted now... yep si's right, the one that was in the car had a p with two lines in the top corner and the one thats in there now has a kinda 'T' shape next to the p. it had all new discs and pads before i bought it, and ive checked them just now and the discs look new. plugs have been done, and the ones that came out looked ok, brown and not white, so its not running lean. dizzy and rotor arm are the next on the list, but its had a new stainless system fitted, so its not coming from there, ive gutted the cat, as i thought it might have collapsed. is there a chance it could be down on compression? will there be any tell tale signs if it is? or will it just run like a bag of shite? i have also noticed when i was setting up my grainier valve that fuel cut seems to occur just before .9 bar on my gauge? i thought it was just after @ .93bar? also, manifolds, i know theyre prone to cracking, so i need to check that again, but is it likely to be much louder (exhaust wise) ifits cracked? as i had my standard system on there untill a few weeks ago, and it was quiet as a mouse? any other things to check would be good? might check my bov too. the turbo appears to be in good shape, as you get a little haze out the exhaust when its first started, but after that its perfectly clear when booting it. plus very little signs of oil in the tmic. any help would be great as im feeling real shit about this now. i want my quick glanza.

not mine

i dont think you can remap the standard ecu mate...i wouldnt mind findiing out for certain though, as ive now got a spare!

ok buddy cheers, this is really pissing me off now...

this is why i have tanbe shocks and springs.

my next port of call will be leads dizzy and rotor arm.

ok, got a 96 ecu, went to plug it in... and its got exactly the same part number!! so that scraps that threory! so my question is, why does my v appear to be slower than others? with the gutted cat im still getting around 8 seconds to sixty without the boost restriction on first and second, the boost holds nicely at .7-.75 bar now (ive fitted a grainier valve). but im also having trouble against a mates 1.9tdi golf 110bhp, theres nothing in it up to 80 then he starts to pull away, but surely his is less powerful, and weighs more? yet 'glanza neil' on here has had a go against a simular version and destroyed it to sixty whats going on??

welcome to uksc mate.

sold my old n/a for £1200 with all mods still on it, and the car had done over 100k with a new engine that'd done 25k

nah, luckily, mine scrapes a little onto the ramp, but thats it.

could be wheels bearings if you cant locate the noise on tickover. is there no noise even if you rev it up a bit?

my local tyre place has got that system. its awesome. takes more time putting the car on the ramps!

happy b day bud!

where is joz going??

looking forward to it buddy!!
