Re: 17" Advan SA3r's

My Advans are being refurbed and are nearly ready to be collected. I'll post some photos when I have them back. However, the company said they couldn't do anything with the centre nuts. Which I was gutted at the prospect of having fresh alloys with the centre nuts letting them down. I then came acr...

Re: Nathan's Mk2 Turbo Rev 2 - Hard Top - 1993

It looks great. It's higher than a motherfucker though :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Agree'd! Next big splurge will be on new suspension / bushings / anti roll bars all round. I'll have it lowered as it's currently on stock either via coil-overs or lowering springs. Trying to decide whether to go coil-ov...

JDM Turbo - Subaru power concent 100v 100w

For the last few years I'd always over looked this Jap power socket labelled 'Subaru power concent 100v 100w' that lived behind the drivers seat. Anyway I finally got around to testing it out and it works. :mrgreen: After some googling I can't seem to find much information about it. It's certainly n...

No real updates apart from took the car to a local show for the first time. Service/MOT due shortly and still need to install that boost gauge. :lol: https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1445/26754367945_343c9705e1_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1563/26754376295_6bf6e808dd_b.jpg https://c2.staticflick...

Re: New tyres

Don't understand why owners are driving fast in the wet, just a recipe for disaster. Unless this is for track use. You could could give me the worse tyres on the market and i wouldn't have a 'moment' Drive for the conditions To put things into context; I had a 'moment' using Nexen's in the wet goin...

Re: New tyres

Nexen's are ditch finders, hated them on my stock 15. Toyo T1R Proxes were better but not amazing in the wet however my Yokohama AD0R's have been the best so far in both the dry and wet.

15' Stock Rev 4 Alloys with Tyre's - Herts based - £60

Hi there, I'm looking to sell my 15' Rev 4 Alloys. These came off a Rev 4 N/A and were powder coated in gloss black. They include the centre caps and Toyo Proxies all round. Tread wise the fronts have plenty left but the rears are down to ~2mm. They'd make a great spare set of wheels for anyone with...

Re: 2016 Golf R

I was taken for a ride in a brand new one back when they were just released in 2014. Felt it had tons of grip and quicker than my 2 for sure but agree'd more numb and less exciting in feel. Much more subdued since nice new modern suspension n all that.

Re: 17" Advan SA3r's

Since we're all whoring Advans. Staggered 16's on mine, need the car lowered though as I'm on stock. Mine are missing the centre caps but I've grown to like them without and my envy dripped away with it. I gave up trying to source replacements, had them refurbed in blackened chrome. I'm personally n...

Re: Back to her shiny best! Scott is back in a '2'!

I need some new window trims! The plastic has faded and no rubber restorer has ever brought them back to black. The furry pads have also rusted away on mine, I found them inside the door panel when removing the OEM speakers. Since the pads were missing I now have scratches on the inside of the passe...

Re: Tin top owners - any regret over lack of T-Bar?

Had both and I don't miss the T-Bar. The leaks or condensation build up in the winter for one days worth of enjoyment when the sun decides to pop out. The extra light was appreciated as it made the cabin feel larger, but again here in England all you'll ever see is grey above...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Underseat subwoofer

I feel ashamed to admit that other than a pioneer headunit I've never really looked into car audio despite being a musician and having studied sound design at university. Anyway I'm looking into getting some bass into the car and the underseat subs seem perfect. I regularly put things behind the sea...

Re: Heated windscreens - anyone fitted and used theirs yet?

Mines installed and was working for the first few weeks. Quick to remove frost and de-mist. No issues with mobile 3G/4G signal or sat nav. There are edges that don't de-frost, 90% of the screen does. If you look closely you can see where the heating element ends on the left / right side of the winds...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev2 Turbo with Bolt ons, what's next?

I personally wouldn't worry about pistons till your past the 300bhp mark on the Rev 2. The biggest limiting factor is the ECU and turbo for running higher boost as by default the ECU will flood the engine with more fuel and the CT26 runs out of puff. This has been the advice given to me from a reput...

Re: Nathan's Mk2 Turbo Rev 2 - Hard Top - 1993

Despite the weather me and a pal found a multi story car park with some cover and dried our cars off. The photos turned out nice and moody with minimal editing required thanks to taking my time setting the camera up.
