Just got my 1.4 16v and I've noticed it absolutely drinking petrol. It's idling really low and around town driving extremely careful I'm getting about 24mpg if I'm lucky (Went down to 20 earlier) Thinking about getting it tuned? Any ideas?
Putting the car back to standard today and have lost the original nuts that came off the top of the standard rear shocks. Put the ones from the lowering shocks on and they're very slightly too big. Anybody know the size of the standard ones so I can buy some tomorrow? Cheers

Just got the new front bumper ready to be smoothed and what not. Thing is, I wanted to put a slightly smaller splitter on it (I hit EVERYTHING) checked the new bumper and the splitter seems to be built into it? I was expecting some hench staples or something but this doesn't seem like the case...
When I fitted my coilovers I also bought some of the Eibach camber bolts for the front struts. When I went to fit them they were a little too big. The diameter of the bolt was 14mm and is supposedly made for the car. Can't find anything about this online but any help would be great!

So I recently put coils + lowering springs/shocks on my 1.2 16v. As for the front, I can't rate them enough! At about an 75mm drop at the moment and she's sitting low and riding nice, problem is, she's sky high at the back! The kit came with 80mm lowering springs + adjuster plates on the rear...
So I have just started doing work on my car and making it how I wanted it. The first thing I have done it to buy a nice set of Banded steelies. Got them last night and just tried to fit them on but it seems that the center of the new wheel doesn't fit over the ring on the hub that holds it...
Really want to lower my 1.2 now and I think I'm about ready. I want to check my hub spacing before I buy anything but I could use some help.
How do I go about measuring my hub spacing? I'm hoping they are 58mm instead of 52mm but only one way to find out.
Any help would be great!
