anyone got suggestions for cheapest possible suppliers, both oe and aftermarket, can get halfords 5w40 fully synt for £19 trade 5 litres or will vw synta gold be cheaper? euro car parts want £80 inc vat for sump, unsure weither gasket is included, want this sorted tomorrow!

 

[acidstrato]

80quid is pretty decent, may find only a breaker will have one cheaper. iv paid double that in the past!

synta is ~28quid i think

 

[acidstrato]

considered claiming compo of council? or were you traveling at an otherwise unnecessary speed which caused your shocks to compress when you hit the speed bump which resulted in your chassis to sit lower than it would have had you approached the bump at a lesser rate?

 

[rogers]

iv looked into a few things and i int too disapointed with my result as the proplems that i have are minor as phil has said, the map is very soft and i have a st2 car with a stag1 map, the differnce being that they make the map alot stronger through out the whole map, and stag 2 cars running 225-235bhp, think my problem is in my exhust think a cracked dwn pipe, going on the ramp for a tidy look tomz but it sounds dodgy when cold and think there could be a light blow, will be looking to sort things asap and be chasing phil big time! lol, plans for this week tho get my fooking brakes on!!!

 

[acidstrato]

a cracked downpipe wouldnt help your cause,
but running the mods you have you should be over 200 regardless to whether you have st1 or st2


as for 235bhp i think your hoping bud cos it aint happening, even phils is a tad optimistic for me, but only just

 

[Forbez]

Dave what happened there mate!

If anyone knows of a speed bump without any markings on it, let Dave know so he can claim compo.

Time for a baffled sump??

[acidstrato]

ahhh i see now buddy!

looks like we'll be stuck with a while longer then

so you gonna come to pod to? might as well rag the **** of it while you have it

and if rogers comes too that'll be atleast 6 ibizas in the convoy! plus my mate in his Golf if he aint changed his mind. safe!

 

[davidol]

working on my mate with the black ibiza but i doubt hes going to come to be honest, anyways im off to sort the car, and like karl said can you all do me a favour and keep your eyes out for a huge speedbump on public property, the one i hit was smallish but had a dip directly after it, looks tiny in person though, might of been something to do with my pace!

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Jonzy, I remember you putting up a post for your old man selling his EVO MR320/340?. Did you ever drive it, what did you think of it?
I saw an MR320 in red with all the carbon goodies, it looked the nuts. Pretty good price too considering age/mileage.

 

[Jonzy]

Yep I did, it was a 340. One serious bit of kit, quite a boring car to drive since its so balanced all round.

As ive said before, id rather something with a bit of edge.... something to keep you entertained.

Stupidly expensive to run though.
