  1. Those discs look like they need changing as well. From an engineering point of view thats shocking , really don't like it just as well you wont be going very fast
  2. I'd just go to a rolling road and get a power out put test and then send them the results. If it's not right then they have miss sold the item and there for liable to correct the matter or I f you wasn't satisfied all a full refund to the amount all ready paid and leave them with the car... I ff I was the one giving vw there punishment I fb make them reinburst the owners nd made to scrap all infected vehicles just for the sheer cheek of it plenty have and got nowhere
  3. nothing really , going to drop down to one car
  4. Not updated for a while , took some pics today though , car looked so nice when I was cleaning garage yesterday I thought I would take some pics Nothing to update really , had the front bumper off recently to replace a leaking headlamp washer , major hassle for a little part but all done, also changed the batteries again (both this time so S/S is working again) I have decided to put the big Jag up for sale though later in the summer when I get back from holiday , just not feeling the love
  5. The film is largely rubbish but entertaining . There was a good program on Radio 4 about it recently about the effectiveness of the raid
  6. Good luck, how you can find a colour that doesn't exist outside of the paint booth of the guy who painted it I don't know. Companies will mix up paint that "looks" like the factory paint for many models , it might look like a 360, it might look like a Astra but wont match your car
  7. Its a custom paint job though , not factory paint, you will never match it yourself you will need a professional to play around with the colour , this is where the true skill of a painter comes in
  8. I didn't say that 1) It has lights 2) If it didn't have lights it would not necessarily be illegal 3) Whats legal in one state may not be legal in another and vice versa Lights are only inspected in the UK mot if fitted , no lights is perfectly fine I have had motorcycles on the road with no headlamp Bottom line is you cant assume that something is legal or illegal based on a picture you need more information
  9. Yes its real , its an F3 car with Billy Monger driving (The kid who lost his legs)
  10. Type approval type regulations are different to mot type regulations . There is no requirement for headlamps to even be fitted and they dont need to use the machine they can use a wall to ensure they work and dont dazzle
  11. Dont even need headlamps in UK or US
  12. Headlights..... it has them , but wouldnt need to
  13. Dunno about all of them but the one at Santa Pod is a Corvette and has a clear window in the floor
  14. Wheel Standers are a big thing in the US https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQO591Aw4B4
  15. Looks to me like a car modified to wheelie hence the frame and the engine in the back , dont think its anything to do with Delorean
  16. I heard that there is cheat software on Porsche diesels now and many recalled . Biggest travesty imo is the fact they run like crap and don't return the power or economy after the revised software is added, there is a case for mis selling but the EU dont want to upset VAG
  17. Search for supercharger beetle and you'll see plenty that have done it
  18. Because "Hot Rod" its a cool engine , How many straight 8's have you ever seen plus is period for the car by the looks of it.
  19. The rod (Shaft) is just the drive shaft for the supercharger , there will be a pulley on the end connected to the crankshaft of the engine . Usually the supercharger is further forwards on the engine meaning you dont need such a long shaft http://www.superchevy.com/how-to/engines-drivetrain/1410-how-to-install-a-weiand-supercharger-on-small-block-street-smart-383/ The engine is a Packard straight 8 cyl from the 1940's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pQl8dmBaD8
  20. Having massive problems with Rooks and Jackdaws on out feeders , comes from living in the country I guess but the whole feeder can be emptied in hours when those descend on it As an aside we already have a family of Blackbirds in the garden with the young almost the same size as the parents , seems very early to me ?
  21. That looks ok , how does it sound ? I did my sons C1 a few weekends back , new front speakers and then made a rear parcel shelf out of MDF and audio cloth to mount 2 x 6x9's , along with a new headunit , he is thrilled
