Fixed my passenger side folding seat mechanism using the guide on here and a 71p piece from plastic from TPS.

Got the part number please ? I need to get around to this. Any tips for when I'm doing it ?

Fit a cold air feed on lower grill, ducting to CAI for better air flow. Don't know if it'll make a huge difference but more air is always a good thing, plus I think it looks rather beastly


For extra beast points, the turbo needs to sit behind it  :smiley:

I know how you feel on this one :( - I nearly got done by a mk5 fiesta ZS not long ago, forgot how nippy they are moving of the line. Pretty sure my one a few years ago wasn't as quick  :thinking: but my face was this  :scared: when his front end was ahead until I put more force on the pedal  :innocent:

A 335i wanted some fun this morning on my drive to work... couldn't shake it off :(

What car and output does yours have? Those are much lighter cars so you have to have a lot more power to compensate. :wink:

ST2 are 180 brake, so 20 brake and good weight difference, around 1328kg for golf vs 1088kg for the fiesta.
