Re: air locking diffs

Interesting idea Mat.

+1 on the welded ones being a PITA!

It sometimes feels and sounds as though the car is shaking itself to pieces! :roll:

Re: Bastardly cold outside

-5/6 here at 8:15am. The locks were frozen and my flasher relay didn't work until the car was coming up to temp! :lol:

Re: Best 300 for drifting?

I only have experience of a 360 minus PAS. However, standard ride height or blocked/chopped with a welded diff whatever the weather are both fine. IMO they're perfect for a slide. http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac157/itsallac0nspiracy/Dusty%20Drifter/43b9344e.jpg?t=1262533039 http://i895.photobu...

Re: Ideas for 6x9 mountings OTHER than the rear shelf?

rear fill is so nasty :( So true. I don't think acoustics are a strong point on 300's though. lol I'm not fussed about an SQ install anyway. :lol: A couple of mid-bass GZ's in the beltek boxes under the front seats and a 4x60w HU has to suffice for me. Until I go carving holes in it which I CBA. Th...

Re: jack frost locked me out

Ran out of juice in a snow covered industrial estate. :lol: My bad, the speedo cable isn't seated in the hub correctly so it's not reading atm and I guess I just ignored the flashing light for too long. Too busy filming slides with my mate. She fires ri...

Re: jack frost locked me out

Just read page two. Will blow the locks through with compressed air and lube with gun oil. :D
Thanks to all for the tips!

As for destroying door seals when the temperature is really low. Use the boot lol. :lol: Those seals are easier to get? :lol:

Re: jack frost locked me out

Sick of being locked out with this cold now lol. Need to oil my locks/latches. Had to piss on it before, after going sledging with my mate and his gf (Cow Hil, Ben) :lol: I have one of those crap hot keys but it only melts ice enough for the key to fit in the lock, won't let the barrel turn. I guess...

Re: Lolvo: worst update in web history

Cheers Nikidev. I'm a big fan of your car mate. Nice to share the love. :lol: As for lowering more, it's out of the question. My spring platform things are very very close to the ground as is. With just one person in the front my exhaust scrapes over tiny bumps in an otherwise flat road and centre p...

Re: Tidy 244

Won't be for sale. Looks like they've had it forever. I may enquire over the 'holidays' lol

I like it, especially if it has the early lights. Too many doors though :(

Dropped and a 17" set of 7 spoke MO's plz. 000000f :lol:

Tidy 244

Spotted this earlier about half a mile from my house. I was out for a play in the industrial estate and saw all the FWD French crap attempting the steep one way hill so joined in. No sweat at all. Sideways all the way up FTW. lol The car in question http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac157/itsallac0...

Yeah. I thought it was something like that dude. *bookmarks thread for future needs* I was shot down in flames on the Nova forum when we were discussing it. :roll: :lol: If I ever heard of anything like that coming my way I'd ask for the destruction cert to be binned, re-apply for it's ID as you say...

Re: Not a volvo but anyone here on VW forums?

This is such a grey area IMO. What makes the scrappage scheme cars different to any other scrapped car? I can't see them having their own paperwork etc. IMO the V5c will be sent back to DVLA as scrap just as you or I would do had we weighed in a car. So the DVLA won't know which are scrapped inside/...
