    cats!

    I just removed mine altogether on the sport and had no problems but I didnt have a sensor on the cat. along with the raceland manifold and longlife exhaust it made an extra 8.5bhp/9lbft on the same rollers. I had a milltek sports cat and full exhaust system on my golf gti luke, made a good bit of difference and with a custom code remap was making 262bhp/313lbft style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" />
  7. could be a resonance in the exhaust. mine does it around 3500rpm then goes, it's very faint but when I upgraded my decat pipe to 2" to match the rest of the exhaust it made it much worse almost sounded like the exhaust was going to fall off. so I stuck the smaller 1 3/4" pipe back on.
  8. does it always do it as the same rpm? around 3300?
  9. My 15's are 4.9kg's without tyres. and the tyres are 6.8kg's each.
  10. I fitted a 2.5m (just over 8ft) aluminium ladder in the lupo. the guy laughed when i said would I try putting it in the car. it was totally stripped out though managed to get it in and close the boot easily. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> also had a fridge freezer and a mountain bike without having to take a wheel off. and numerous trips to ikea.

  13. hopefully i'll be getting one in january, but with the lupo on coilovers theres hardly any body roll so would be very interesting to see the results. where did you get the eibach one?? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

  15. I like the sound of this beast style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
  16. if you can get hold of a facelift lower centre console you can probably just fit that. the whole thing comes out with just a few screws... you would need to relocate the buttons to the new centre console the wiring looms may need stripping back as they probably wont be long enough. you should find the cup holders screw into the same place the switches were fitted on the pre facelift. I cant guarentee it'll fit but i've had a good look at both dashes and the only thing that looks different is the centre console and the top part which accomodates the radio/heaters.
  17. pre facelift didnt have cup holders. you can fit them but would need to relocate the switches you would need a facelift lower dash to fit them in and would have to move the hazzard switch there too.
  18. behind the heater controls bolted to the exhaust channel
  19. I've got a perfect base car if your looking for one. it's a black 1.4s so has the electric windows/central locking but no abs style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbsup:" border="0" alt="thumbsup.gif" /> it needs a gearbox refurb so probably be looking for around £1600-ish probably less. not the one in my sig though. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

    Help!!

    we went for talk talk international. ordered in may and had it in august, broadband speeds are great (8meg) although there are not many residential users or it near me. 95% of our calls are free and free internet something like £25 per month?, the only down side is the 18 month contact which you'd have to pay £70 to get out of
  22. Al met al een ZIEK project style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
  23. There was an arosa tdi with less mile went on ebay a while back for £1800. and you guys say mods dont add any value to the car?
