A bellends MK3 1.6 Golf. Mystic Blue 3door - Recaro's or BBS RX-II's?

FECK ME!

Anyone care to guess how much a expansion tank flange is? Eighty-bleeding quid! You can buy the thermostat, thermostat housing and sensors/switches seperate but not the flange itself you have to buy the lot.

I've decided this camera isn't very good. (Camcorder with photo option)


Left:Scabby old bolt Right:One of spent some time polishing.




All three done I just need to do a little more on the middle one and possibly go up to 1500 and I need to buy some metal polish to finish.



Well pleased with the result, took me AGES to do the rocker cover I couldn't stand a mishaped bit even though there is no way of seeing it when on.

The bolts (if anyone else wants to have a go) was a rub off with 80 on a sander then:

-Pillar drill at med. speed with 80grit on a block
-Pillar drill at fast  speed with 80grit on a block
-Pillar drill at med. speed with 400grit on a block
-Pillar drill at fast  speed with 400grit on a block
-Pillar drill at fast  speed with 800grit on a block
-Pillar drill at fastest speed with 1200 on a block

You want to remove the marks of the previous grit everytime until you have fully even round marks then go up. The paper was saturated and kept wet with a strong Fairly liquid and water mix.

So I've got some late Recaro's but another member will swap for some RX-IIs.

Now I've got me a dilemma, which? The alloys are 15" and I wanted 16 but these are better then the steels. They've also got decent sized tyres on andam i rght in tihnking decent tyres and 15's are good for handling? (Would love to do a track day one day, I know I'll need new tyres after which)

Mind you I think the insurance company only likes up to three mods:

Wheels, suspension and Vento front.... (Classed as exterior aesthetic modifications).

OOOOOOOR.....

Get it running first?

[Bellend]

 

Whatever happened to patience these days? Monday, read it and weap.  It will be running, I assure you. Video for the non believers?

16's are better than 15's. its a 1.6 so has no speed and its a mk3 so has no handling so wouldnt bother with any sort of track day set up.

Exactly where did you get this information from??

The mk3 if set up correctly will handle brilliantly.

16's better? For sure?

I'm not talking about serious track days I'm talking about when I have urges to drive fast. I'm not ragging the hell out of my car on a track either.

Urges to drive fast? Isn't that what track days are for? Leave public roads for what they are made for, driving.
