have you tried automotive nicotine patches? keep an eye on the oil level, should give you an idea if your burning lots of oil. if you are might be worth changing to a thicker oil. or it could be the bottom end going. these cars have a tendancy for loosing compression and bore wear resulting in loss of oil and eventually an engine rebuild

looks good, is the blue one anything to do with you as well? and

might be best to send them off to be chemically dipped, have a look at bigredd, and ask them just to do the first part. would save you dome work and give you a clean start point. also if you need brembo logos doing drop me a line

ah the failside kit. if you want the original i don;t think they make it any more. but their are copies out there. still not cheap

looks good chaps, nice bit of carpentry skills

you've joined me!

never been a fezza fan, admire the styling and the heritage, but not my kind of lady. i find the engine sounds to high pitched. they tune them to rev so high it alters the noise. i know it sounds funny, but i had a chance to listen to a whole range of super cars at topgear one year with tiff, and the ones that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up were the lambos v10, the sypker V8 (audi V8) maserati V8, and the koinegsegg v12. all the others sound great but certain engines got my juices flowing. sadly none were any of the ferrari's. its a bit like the GTR gaurenteed they are going to be better than a whole heap of cars i like, but neither the GTR or the fezzas do it for me. i'd happily go out in them, have mates take for a test drive, and respect the car. but for me only certain cars have the whole package, looks, presenence and noise. and thats what makes a great car.

lol, glad they arrived safely, i usually have a sticker for the return address, but i forgot to stick it on, i was writing it one handed in the queue at the post office with people behind me. not my finest moment. saying that my hand writing is crap any way, but this particular case was extra crap. i have a thermo printer for labels but wanted to get this out quick to you.so what was on the fron twas my neatest hand writing. once your able to just send me back your old ones. i'll then dip them ready for the next person.

did you earth out the new stereo?

of the list of cars you put up, i'd go with the vantage, but if i was given 35k and told to go buy a car of my choice....i'd need more time but i'd be looking at the likes of TVR Noble maserati Aston porsche as they are all manufacturers i've never tried, who all make cars i'd love to own. which ones depended on what you could get for the 35k, but i think my top 3 would be aston, maserati and TVR

hard pipe is on the to do list, but i spent a lot of cash on this so stuck with what needed doing and will add in the extras when i have saved up my pennies.

not had the carpets up yet, but i don;t think its too bad as its recently been sealed underneath. as for the mk4's i'm not sure exactly, i think the runners are slightly modified. looking forward to sorting the rust on the outside.

i think its their age, its not deliberate, they just dont think

exactly. i had loads of the younger kids asking if i would do the course with them instead.

Are we talking crossed purposes here, he actually refers to poor performance when the engine is cold not when the outside air temperature is cold, well that's the way I read it You read correctly sorry lads, my c0ck up, on start up the car runs in i think open loop, and switches to a close loop when up to temp. oil is also cold in both the engine and gearbox. once up to temp it all works a bit smoother. i would expect that while the engine is not at temp and still on an open loop that it might be a bit slower and less reponsive. as for open loop its like driving with the choke out.

you can buy a standard satnav, or you used to be able to, but from memory i think it was the best part of £1200, and its crap

i'm off to play quidditch

its alright i have a list of 20 students who are now black listed.when ever an a level student or another teacher has an automotive issue they all come and see me, and i always help; these kids just made the black list.

not kidding, waited half an hour, and not a sausage.

well i was let down by my students, none of them showed up

its the advantage of prestige cars that are expensive to maintain, it weeds out all the commoners

colder air is more dense, so should actually give better performance compared to that of a hot day.
