De-knackered my exhaust with dgt earlier. It was a silly scorpian exhaust and now its just a stock Polo one. Oh its so pleasant to drive now. Next Monday its getting proper springs put back in it, since its currently on lowering springs. It'll be stock then more or less! And might be getting a Mk3 Golf as well on Wednesday next... Fun fun!

Dont forget the pics!

If only you saw the Polo before that! The Golf may just be broken into parts at any rate, but alas, we'll see when the time comes!

No bother, will post a pic tommorrow before my car goes for surgery

I'm only joking, you don't have to! (but not really) :P

What's it going in for?

I will if I have time/don't forget lol!
Well you know I have the 2.0 tdi a4?
It's going to george Dalton to have the oil pump/balancer shaft kit fitted, have some extra money and decided to get that sorted so i can have peace of mind. I wasn't going to bother only I rang a head mechanic in an audi dealership to enquire about it (not gonna say who or which one) and he said its not a matter of if it happens, its when.... So that made my mind up. Cheaper this way than failure, and turbo going aswell etc ya know?

If you can seriously get a decent amount of banana stickers on there that could look pretty cool. It's unique if nothing else. Haha

Myself and my mates tested this one day, the most one person could get down consecutively was 9. You're going to need some help with this one. :pac:

Seriously though, every time you have a banana just throw it on and they'll build up for time.
