  1. by the way guys ''Rash'' is my cousin (asian lad in the pic) & is a genuine guy has been in the trade for well over 15+ years! :)

    he's not the sort of person to steal other peoples cars i know tht for sure!

    i've actually seen this car in the flesh & was spotless! i just hope it returns to the owner asap in the same nick!

    i'l keep an eye out around the west yorkshire area where it was bought from as there are a few gti's around my area! ;)

  2. ill probs go for the 10 40 then...although i originally meant 5 40 not 5 50 in my first post....is semi or fully synth best?

    And ah i see...Ill probs go for that then or some schutz spray on version? My mechanic has said i can use the ramp and his gun etc so will it be okay to do it in a few weeks inside a garage?

    i use semi synthetic.. , fully synthetic will be the evan better stuff :)

    as for underseal i personally thing the spray on makes a mess as it sprays all over.. so i normally paint it on with a soft paint brush!

    jus mke sure the underbody is fully dry n clean before u start painting..

    not a hard task really!

    i did mine on ''axle stands'' took me a full week on a proper professional job.. the finish is very neat!

  3. Ah really? I thought fully synth was better on an FI engine, but I will listen to the more knowledgable haha, iirc 10-40 is thicker when cold but the same when warm as 5w-40? As long as the 10-40 is fine i'll use that? Is it vital I get the most expensive brand or is the decent ranged comma stuff any good?I've used synerg fully synth in my old car?

    As for the underseal, that what I was thinking of doing, is it easy to get all the dust and muck off with degreaser or panel wipe?

    and is that the hammerite underbody seal with added waxoyl?Im a bit reluctant about the fact it never dries and can crack but I dunno if there is anything better? Maybe schultz

    10w-40 millers oil is wht i use it's really good tbh!

    as for underseal give the underbody a really good clean with a soft brush & degreaser using a towel thts wht i do with all my cars lol

    underseal with added waxoil is probs the best stuff around.. ive been using it for over 5 years now.. it never cracks at all :)

  4. Hi guys!

  5. as above i'm wanting to know how to remove alternator pulley???? - so i can fit my new anodised one on there..

    theres a bolt on the pulley but just spins the whole pulley it self which is confusing :S

    hopefully u guys who have brought these anodised pulleys from the group buy wud be able to help me :)

    Thanks!

  6. as above ive ordered a set of superflex bushes for my car - over a week ago now & still have not recieved them yet :S

    anyone had any experiences with them before or know there delivery time ?

    Thanks! :)

  7. ahh then in that case i hope you havent cut off the rear crush tube iirc you still need it....along with the round/halfmoon washer

    oh.. think i'l leave the rear crush tube on there n only remove the half moon washer

    then get the wishbones powder-coated ?

    Thanks for the advice bro..

    appreciated :)

  8. <br />You can get rid of it all, EXCEPT the round/halfmoon shaped washer for the rear of the wishbone you will need this when putting the antilift kit on....assuming you are?<br />
    <br /><br /><br />

    Ok sounds straight foward then..

    BUt i wont be usung a "lift kit"

    Basically i'm upgrading to poly bushes only

    Thanks bro :)

  9. thnks for your comments :)

    my bad.. i'm actually referring to the both wishbone bushes actually..

    ive had the both bushes removed from a garage

    bushes removed- now i jus need to know if i pop the front bush ring out to remove the (thin rubber with ring around it)

    will i need to reuse this again after i have the wishbones powder-coated ??

    or can i buy some new ones from ??

    Thanks!

  10. as above i've removed standard front wishbone bushes.. as i'm fitting poly-bushes

    question is how do i remove inner front metal tube as that also has a small lip rubber on it too ???

    , as i will be having these wishbones powder-coated which will go in a very hot oven to bake so dont want to ruin anything..

    i'm sure some people on here hav had thres powdercoated wht did u do ?

    Thanks! :)

  11. <br />i drilled holes roughly every cm round then set them on fire chissled and cut at em <br /><br />took soooo freaking long to get out there a pain in the ass!!!<br />

    Thanks for your input guys! :)
