  1. I've found the only picture with me in it so far ;)

    S5000231.jpg

    I've browsed a few of the VAG forums that were there and noones posted any good pics yet... a few of some of the tidy golfs but nothing much else ;)

  2. I thought he meant OEM actuator too mate (for your info yash ct9 has an internal wastegate)

    Have you any fuelling mods to keep up with all that boost your running mate? I don't know how the EP91 ECU alarms you for "knock" (detonation) but in the GT4 it brings on the EM light to warn you the ECU is retarding the ignition. Could be that but I don't want to alarm you.

  3. I do have another camera... two others in fact, one is away with my girlfriend in amsterdam because she has lost the charger for the cam I bought her and the other one is my old skool 35mm film cam!

    A guy my mate knows and a coulpe of his pals turned up... one guy with his 07 plate RS4!!!! and another with an 07 plate S3 which he's already had remapped to 312bhp/320lbft

  4. It's for VAG cars (Volkswagen Audi Group) -- No pron unfortunately ;)

    And even more unfortunate is the fact my bro ran off with my camera earlier this week to take photo's of a flat he's selling. So unless I can run into his early before heading off, I don't think there'll be any pics ;)

  5. I had a RCL keyfob on my old Glanza too -- it only worked from about 3feet away from the car tho. I was going to replace the battery but I was told to watch out because taking the battery out might reset the fob... needing it to be reprogrammed! But I didn't know how to reprogram it either sorry :wub:

  6. Well I had a play around with an EOS400D and a nikon D50 at christmas -- the Nikon was more intuitive to use and fiddle with settings than the cannon. Don't know about picture quality but I'm sure they'll both be pretty good!

  7. Next things on the list are to get the windows smoked a bit and the having squatting on all fours like a bitch, thinking of getting the Koni SSK for it, but noone seems to run that suspension set-up, most run cheap coilover kits with harsh springs, but since I'm looking for a bit more comfort I'll be trying to get a good spring/shocker combo.

  8. The ibiza's got a 45 litre tank (Just read the manual) What's the Glanza got? From empty I always got about 37 quid of optimax at 99p/litre so I'd say a 40 litre tank?

    So it means the ibiza still fairs a lot better on petrol. I've been mainly driving it off boost the last few days tho to and from my work.

    Hey Geo, we'll have to have you out in it. Maybe a wee run against the Glanza too :lol:

  9. Gee I thought LSD was Lysergic acid diethylamide :lol:

    I had a good text file I copied from a random site once -- it had more general terms in it too that cropped up.

    I have an idea -- see how you can link to actual posts within a thread? Well we could have a glossary at the top (in alphabetical order) like G has already -- but each abbreviation is itself a link to a post further down the thread for instance:

    This links to reply 2

    And where it links to has a more in depth (unless it's really straightforward) description??

    note: only prob I've found so far is it links into a new window, but I'm sure there's code to link it in the same window.

  10. Hey guys, as you know I sold the Glanza a few weeks ago -- And it's replacement is:

    You might recognise the scenery -- I reused the backdrops pretty much frame for frame where I took them of the Glanza. Luckily the guys on SCN didn;t know this :lol:

    It's a diferent beast to the Glanza altogether... More torque than you can throw a stick at so you don't have to sit up the rev range all the time! It averages about 38mpg or 32mpg if I'm pottering around town which is a lot better on petrol than my Glanza was. I bought it already modified so I'm not 100% sure on the spec but what I do know is:

    Star Performance Remap -- 197bhp 210lbft @14psi

    Scorpion catback system

    N249 bypassed

    RamAir Maxflow induction kit

    Forge Recirc BOV

    Standard Cupra suspension

    Runs a 14.6s quarter @100.2mph

    I'm still gutted about losing the Glanza, but I'm fairly happy with the Cupra. It's comfy!
