    nutter!!

    i know its not a car, but take alook at this!
  6. i only done my rears. i removed wheel, marked out the strip of arch to be removed with some fine line tape, then got the thinnest cutting disc i could find (bout 2mm), and then cut along the edge of the line. work the disc along and u get a nice smooth line. dont grind the edge! cut into the arch. u will cut into the sealant behind the arch which will smoke a bit! it is best to lie down below the arch to do this and u can see exactly what u r doing, wear safety glasses! after rub abit of sandpaper over the edge to remove any sharp edges. then brush primer and if u want some paint over the bare
  7. cheers russ! nice to meet a few people in the club as well!
  8. ive got G-Max on mine wit 17's, and they rubbed a little, so i removed bout 4mm from the arch lip. it didnt cost anything, u have to bare in mind that if u get ur arches rolled, u may need to get it painted after coz the paint sometimes cracks!
  9. thats me!! in the my m8s mk2, hes got 2.0 on twin 40's. it was great fun being out on the track!! :-d did anyone see that red mk1 20v turbo crash? we were doing 120 mph and he came flying past us!! next lap he crashed in to tyre wall!! (6)
  10. is urs dizzy or coilpack? if it is dizzy then this may help. i had a hall sensor go on mine, i bought the car like it. it was so slow, u can lose 30-50 bhp. VW main dealers wouldnt sell me one, said i had to buy a complete dizzy? sumting like £180!! phone these guys they will send u one next day for £35 i think? Probedistributors 01708223225 they supply ones without wires,because the wires go brittle and break! ..fits just the same, just slots in and then screw it down. hope this helps
  11. (i) cant u drill and tap new holes in manifold to fit TB?
  12. its prob the rings/bores worn, but its hadly worth a engine rebuild for an odd puff of smoke on over run? i found that it does it more when the oil is new, prob when its at its thinnest?
  13. mine does this, i wouldnt worry to much unless it gets worse! alot lot of people have posted threads on smoking (ci) have a look>
  14. do u mean a smooth top bumper, if so buy a second hand one. go to scrap yard or look on ebay?
