Take 1 full bore launch. Add one P1 Almera Gti Include a mini roundabout to your mixture. Result: 1 wheel off the ground and all the girls in my car saying how much you drive like me! Sounds mean mate. Fucking shifts too!

The time has finally come to produce my own Members ride thread. Purchased nearly 2 years ago this is how i first presented her to the AOC. Since then it has undergone a complete over haul on all aspects of the car. Exterior. Phase 2 Gti SideSkirts, Half tinted rear lights, Punto...

8pm, Saturday night outside HSBC on North Station Road. Should of let you out really but only realised it was you as it booted off......it had been a long day. Who the hell wants to be working until 8 on a Saturday?

As the title, think mine is on the way out. Is it one pump for the whole almera range or are they engine model specific? How hard are they to get to and change? Whats involved? Only reason i ask is mine is starting to make some funny grunting noises when i reverse park. Im going to inspect the...

Long story short, i always run Castrol Magnatec GTX 10w40 oil in my P1 Sri. Regular checks and changes means she runs sweet as a nut. However due to Castrols recent re packaging efforts (all large bottles are now 4 litres only instead of 5 for the Magnatec and 4.5 for RS formula and Edge sport)...

Not much to be gained from a mod like this, but when one of your best customers is Simon @ Reverie Carbonfibre Composites, it would be rude not to give it a try! 2x sheets of 2mm carbon fibre are cut to my desired sizes. (520mm x 110mm legal size rear, 520mm x 95mm cheeky size front)...

125 quid, think of the breaking value. 5 mins from my house but i have no room to keep it and break it so i am sharing the wealth for someone who has the facilites to do this. Going to view tomorrow in the hope he may let me pillage for spares but i doubt it. Full report to follow...

Just thought i'd throw together a cleaning guide for you all in a bid to rid the world of swirl marks and people who clean cars with Fairy Liquid (the uk's number 1 selling car cleaner! Fact!) In my opinion is it all boils down to technique rather than product as different people are happy with...

However these are of the Phase 2 Gti variety, recently purchased from D0b0 (R.I.P. his Gti). Meguiars logo relocated to skirt from body. All lovely and shiney. And the latest addition to my engine bay! Enjoy.

Quick go with Citrus de-geaser on all my black plastic has had some suprising results. The rest tof the bay needs a full onceover on thursday but these pics show off todays effforts. Spotted the big change yet? Preperation was easy. Wash and de-grease,a light rub down to key...

In a very clean N16 today. You really didnt want to let that Audi people carrier in at the Ipswich road roundabout did you!

Few pics after a few mods and a clean from all this bastard salt on the roads (i know it melts ice and saves lives but it makes me wish i had a silver car!) Omex sequential shift light now working (Had loose connection after remote engine start was fitted and i never got round to fixing...

Ok guys, hope you can help with this. I have a 3 year old sister who is due to begin school next year. (My local schools enrol at 4yrs to make it seem just like a big playgroup so its not so much of an adjustment). Anyway, as one of the schools she may attend is opposite my work, i have...

Ill get the ball rolling. Hopefully this will help as a form of reference and warning to others before buying from a main dealer. Others may be pleasently suprised. Sorry for lack of part numbers, ive lost my Fast CD. 1996 Sri: Coolant resevoir (Bracket was snapped when i bought the car): 83...

This has been bugging the hell out of me for a little while now. My Sri is a Phase 1 P-Plate, logbook says registered march 1997. My car is equipped with a passenger side airbag (rather than the dash tidy cubbyhole), Drivers arm rest cover (rather than just a storage bin) and rear disc brakes...

.....just because you cant drive a car dosn't mean you cant play with it. Due to my current off-the-road predicament ive descovered how useful not having to pay for petrol can be. Some fresh new mods now grace my chariot and are explained as follows.... 1. New stainless rear box. Uni-fit...

This vid shows a 3d cutaway of a honda vtec piston/valves/cam etc, but as my understanding goes the vvl technology is very similar. Is it a surge of oil that pushes the central pin/rod together or is it mechanical? http://videos.streetfire.net/video/wm/ddd90961-2de2-4acc-b5f4-7752f982ed3a.htm

R.E. Headlight Eybrows. I have found a spare set in my garage mate, painted black, the same as my almera. just need a bit of velcro to be able to attach them. One or two stone chips but they are 100% intact. Make me an offer in this thread or PM me and ill gladly box them up and send 1st...

Looking at my freinds starlet turbo the other day, he has a raised bonnet from having previously had a top mounted 'inter-warmer'. As my Sri's aftermarket air filter is reasonably exposed at the rear of the bay (near the wiper motor), would a raised bonnet be a good move to channel engine heat...
