People will steal anything if its not bolted down and locked away, even as a getaway car. The days of young'uns hotwiring an Escort Turbo have gone but its almost as easy to steal anything with keyless entry with the right software and distance. As also said, keys are being stolen from homes...

Fitted the new discs and pads today. Got them fitted eventually! Day didnt start well when I realised the hex bolts are 12mm and not 10mm... frantic calling around friends meant I found a friend with one! The pins came out easy enough, I suspected they would as they were new a few months ago...

Yes it will be. H&R are fairly linear, companies such as Grams and Eibach are a bit more progressive so will be more comfortable.

I am always tinkering! Its just my idea of bettering the car, whether or not I am is another matter :thumb: It was quite stonechipped and had a very shallow dent on one side (cant even see it in a photos) but I picked up a bargain one for £25 in much better condition! The PBS pads are getting...

A quick update! I was hoping to have the car on the track this year for a friends stag do but its probably not going to happen due to my wedding plans. I want to mildly port the inlet manifold and get the car mapped. Id also like another set of alloys and some track tyres so I dont ruin my...

Welcome! Both great investments, the pins and pads should be taken out and lubed up on a regular basis to stop them seizing. The main engine mount on the drivers side i'd avoid replacing as this will give the vibrations, the other 3 arnt too bad. As another thing to add to the preventative...

Still good wheels with a good offset. Id like a set but I dont want to pay mega money when you could have a set of something lighter and aftermarket.

Thats what I thought, someone else mentioned them being cast aluminum.

FYI the AX-L's are the lightest out of OEM wheels at 9.1kg. I know them as 200 Cup wheels as they didnt come on the 197's, just the 200's. The BeBops weigh 10.1kg. I had BeBops and swapped for AX-L's, weighing both. I always thought the 8j Speedline Cups (known as Speedlines) were Magnesium?

They rot like anything, hence why they often arnt available second hand. But as above, there is occasionly 2nd hand ones floating round on the Facebook groups.

More like a 3 donuts instead of 1 :tearsofjoy:

Thanks for the reply, it seems ro really divide people. Some same its the best thing they have ever done, some say it made no difference whatsoever!

Hey all, Probably been done to death but looking at porting my inlet manifold myself. This wouldn't be extreme porting, not even gasket matching but merely getting rid of overcast. A friend has done it and showed me a photo of how much he has taken off and I intend to do the same. I dont want...

Hey all, Basic question, I find most of my rattles are coming from inside my glovebox. I dont carry alot, a phone charger, aux cable and a plastic parking permit. I have used sticky back velcro on the base of the glovebox but this dosent seem to have muted the sound. Has anyone tried a tray...

They definitely wanted to make sure they were secure! Could drill a ton of holes all over it and it wouldnt make alot of difference.

Worth getting a set of Megane mk3 caliper springs. I believe the calipers are basically the same and the springs fit well giving them a bit of tension to return.

Its not bad to be honest. I appear to have a lucky batch, Ive had no issues with it getting louder. Its a different kettle of fish to the stock exhaust. The stock unit sounds flat whatever you do, only getting louder on the motorway. The resonated Miltek, from inside the car, is quieter than...

There was 2 topmounts, the earlier larger one and the later smaller one. I dont believe theres anything you can do to convert one to the other unless you had custom parts made, which would probably work out more costly than buying new springs. Can you not return the springs for the correct ones?

Same as above. Id be concerned that paint around the stickers may have faded and you'd be left with an outline so by removing them it would give me (the buyer) more confidence.

It probably isnt a setting but could be an unplugged cable or wire, or a fuse blown? Id say check basics first. This often happens with an aftermarket headunit so its weird its happened on a stock one.
