Why is it that ppl always drive stupidly fast in old sh*t, not upto the job cars,it is one of my biggest pet hates,you wldnt mind so much if they were driving the state of the art golf r or bmw m3 that is at least upto the job even tho the driver might not be.at least you managed to avoid what would of certenly been a right nasty collision,but still very annoying about the damage buddy

I love these little things that only VW geeks (ie us!) could spot!

"Ruined" my edition. Sounds mint but is a bit loud. :D it's quite boomy in the cabin between 2.5k & 3.5k but sounds nice from outside.



Home brew: milltek non res centre with blueflame suitcase delete.

Holy crap! That will be loud. Do you get a lot of crackling/popping on the overrun?

Yes its loud! No not really but i still have both cats in. Im looking at fitting an inline silencer between the cat & cat back and if thats crap i'll sell it to my sister for her 170 diesel and buy a proper system.

Cheers Dougie,

Yeah, if i didn't swerve out his path I would be in hospital at the very least. He was going well over the national limit.

And to top it off, I ordered the wrong motor for the mirror. Lol.

Found that something has been keeping itself warm at night in my engine bay.

Needless to say I removed the dampener and then I had droppings everywhere...  :angry015:

enjoying boost, never driven my car properly since owning it for the past 4 weeks. Thermostat failed causing the car to run at 75c all the time. PCV was oily and knackered and top it off, on my list was also to replace the DV. Gone for Rev D, as it was cheap enough from TPS. It'll do till I can start buying mods for it.
