    good question. maybe they got fed up with the UK or it was their Swdish GFs that got fed up.....

    just strange how many I have met.

    So they weren't from the UK then? Surely it can't be the weather, as it would be cold in Sweden as well.
    Maybe they are all using that job as a stepping stone to something better.

Anyone know the thread size of the captive nut in the twin bolt front subframe tower? Need to order a tap to clean the powdercoat out!

Cooked the clutch on my 106 16v conversion racing an Audi RS5 - expensive race, not used to power!

Does anyone know if these are disc or drum brake hubs? Ive asked the seller and he says drum but I thought the flanges on the sides of the hubs were for calipers? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=191180819821&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

    Yes they are drums, disc hubs have the flange on the side not the bottom. The flange on those simply holds the brake back plate on,

Just timed my Clubman at 11.8 seconds to 60 using my dash stopwatches and a gps - 998 with heavily modded head, twin HS2, freeflow and rim-flo valves - is this good? Got no references except the old 0-60 which was like 18 seconds :D

    Yeah its a fair chunk of cash and Im still struggling to justify it other than that I want them haha :D What is it that your having done to yours?

    And I will definitely get pics up of them when I get them installed, along with the triple Heuer timer set Ive made - this car is getting expensive!

    I've dismantled a pair of vents and removed the "balls" which I'm sending off to be vacuum metalised - a chrome effect coating for plastic. Should look brand new when done. The justification of "because I want them" is the one I'm using funnily enough ;)
