I couldn't afford a type R (one of the other hot hatches I was tempted by)and wasn't sure if I wanted another E36 just yet. I needed to get this mini fascination out of my system and now I just want to improve it and keep it. I also wanted a car to take on track and no Ford stacked up to it for...

I had DS2500 brake pads, Brembo HC discs, Braided brake lines, ATE super blue fluid, for my track day and I gave them a fair workout, perfect for me and my capability. G172 provided them at a great cost and super fast service. Get it done, you will be chuffed when they are all on

I looked at all of them and bought a cup as I loved the colour, it was down to this or a black one. I didn't want the air con or the abs as it was just something else to break and also slighter cheaper to maintain (cambelt) and I hope more reliable. Plus yes the wheels sold me to it and I was...

I should have phrased that as.......abroad I am wary :-p I'll send a link accross shortly

R516vt........I did the outers but the inners pissed me off soo much I wanted to torch the car..... I couldn't get the brackets back on so drove it to my mates garage and got him to bail me out Cheers matey, This seems like a pretty mature community much like 1 or 2 other forums I am on...

I have Yokohama S drive because they are cheap. In the wet they do a job - you should drive to the conditions anyway and in the dry they are quite good. Don't make too much noise but after a trackday and 400 miles they are a bit fecked.. For £50 quid a corner I can't see you getting much better...

The car behaved itself and was an awesome laugh. Hopefully will manage a few upgrades after xmas before another track day. i'll add a few more photos when I find them.... The clio and my mates Golf 8v

Bit of an update so far on this The brakes are all on and fitted courtesy of my friend at his garage. They came next day from George......he will definitely be getting all my future orders without doubt and friends too. I will be doing a coolant flush, gearbox oil change and the seal in the...

I'm doing this at the moment. bought the new top mount kit and the new style spacer. What are you wanting to know?

How did you find the RSRs? I'm at Brands in my cup next friday and don't know whether to go yokohama s drive, RSR at 205 or Michelin PS3. Mine does get used on the road and i want it working in the wet. How have they lasted?

32 mpg for the last 3 weeks. started of at 41 on the first day to work(for a week) then it dropped to 33 as traffic was pretty pants. After £80 in 5 days I was glad to get back on the train and only use it to get to rugby. My golf GT TDI always got 47-56mpg and was about 60 a week but that...

Things have been a bit slow of late, but a few updates now as I get ready for the trackday..... Tonight I did the oil change with Renault oil the elf stuff and new spark plugs. A fortnite ago it received new Renault rear discs, pads and bearings Last weekend, the dogbone mount, engine...

Interested in this too.....

I had a quick search but can't find anything obvious. Can bucket seats be fitted that can be on sliders. I am the best part of a foot taller than my girlfriend and we share the car. Would be nice if I could find a solution to the standard cup seats. Cheers for any assistance scotty

Mine seems pretty good on fuel, certainly better than my leon cupra was. Keep having to tell myself it doesn't matter what the Golf does(tdi 130) this is more fun
