  1. I won! It'll probably be sh*te. And I have no idea what size it is. Phhh, 10 miles is nowt, old man.
  2. Yeah, there's a cheap one I'm watching on eBay ending just now. Dunno if it's cheap enough though, considering I know that I'll never actually ride it. I recently got a new mountain bike though so I've been using that quite a bit.
  3. Not yet, but my mammy said she might let me play in the street rather than just on the lawn because I am a big boy now.
  4. That's the problem with most clothes, I find. Everything has the brand name in huge letters. Feel like a billboard. I dunno, things these days... And hopefully, in one day and one hour, I will be able to call myself a road cyclist...
  5. I don't know about the torque figures or anything, but I would think that just a remap on a TDI will present no problems at all.
  6. You don't come down any more anyway! Did you say you can't make Festival again? And I don't swear! Nope, not yet. Got a new pair of brake discs to put on, refurb the wheels and it's ready to go.
  7. I will eventually. I don't like it though.
  8. Not much use for 14" wheels...
  9. Ah nice one, have seen you about a few times recently. Once in my girlfriends polo, once in my mates fabia vrs and once in my new TT! I'll keep an eye out for your GTI.
  10. I put jubilee clips around the exhaust rubbers and tightened them right up. Sorted it right out.
  11. Depends what size tyres and how much you're lowered by. And I take it they're et25.
  12. Yeah, it should be in the southern section! I'm gonna miss it this year.
  13. Did you buy them new? They should come with bolts.
  14. My last one had a yellow lid and was adjustable. My new one has a black lid though. I've been holding off opening my new one because my old one still gives off the occasional whiff. and it's about a year old!
  15. The best set of Ronal turbo R10's I've seen had gold painted centres and silver dishes. Made them look like compomotive turbos.
  16. For the et1 8j classic it has to be a 175/50/13 really to have any chance of avoiding rubbing.
  17. Sack off the refurb for now and run those through the summer, your cabby will never see the road so you might as well use them before the tyres perish away to dust. Looks great.
  18. 8J classics are et0 I think, so you need a bit of stretch on them to keep them under a lupo's arches. Big tyres would poke and loads and rub probably.

    Foxy's TDI

    Just been picked up from the pub in it. Can't believe the seats aren't heated. Phhhh. Other than that it's nice.
  20. The discs that were on it when he bought it were the original discs off mine, which were passed on to Jon then Foxy. Probably a bit past it.
  21. I kinked the pipe under the bonnet where it leaves the washer bottle, and put a bit of tape round to keep it 'closed'.
  22. Your car is improving a lot with the addition of bits from my car. Good work. Keep it up. ps. Have you been tampering with my profile Ray? Who told you?
  23. D does. G kind of does I think. Seem to remember that something isn't quite right with it. Although that might be balls. There's a thread on here somewhere that should answer it. I have one for sale.
