Getting a clutch delay valve put IN? Only ever seen them taken out.

The factory one has a very small hole whereas the new one is much wider......(jesus that sounds awful :pac: ) and this is made specifically for the 335i.

I have no idea how it's possible to fail that many times. Do they even put in effort?

I wish RS spoilers were 100 euros

OE ones are almost impossible to source over here

I'm glad they are priced like that, or every 1.4 focus would have one.

Ah right, so like a CDV delete. Is there any advantage to that over just removing it? Like I said, I reckon I'll be getting rid of mine too.

I like to keep thins fairly OEM when it comes to that kind of thing but if it's possible to just remove it and connect the line then that'll happen instead.

MM is very OCD when it comes to car ownership The thought of spurious, non-OE parts on his car would keep him awake at night. Never mind the thought of REMOVING a part that came on the car.

New key didn't work Next plan is to ship it down to an electronics specialist in Passage or even better, he may be able to come to it.

Jesus man that's crap!

Had my own bad news this morning!

On the way to work a wobble came into the steering wheel.
I honestly thought a wheel was coming off!

Turns out the drivers caliper stuck and reddened the disc.
It's warped now.

Annoyed. .

I'm going to get new discs, pads and calipers to hell!

My uncle failed the test 8 times. And only got one when they gave away licences there years ago.

I couldn't wait to drive. Knowing I was close was eating me away. I studied hard for the theory test and got a fair bit of practice for the driving exam and I went in for both with a "I have to do this, I just can't fail" kind of mindset and passed both tests on the first go. Getting the good news after the test is still one of the best feelings I've experienced so far.

nd

Yeah I passed both first go too. I hardly slept the week before the driving test. It was such a relief to get it over with.

Its just one of those videos where they put in whatever subtitles they like for the laugh...

wotzgoingon

I know that sure. If anyone is into PC gaming the exact same video was used for the GTX 970 4GB fiasco. Where it was actually 3.5 GB good RAM and 0.5 slow RAM.

Hal1

It was done for battlefield 4 too. I laughed so hard I cried cause it's so true about gaming devs pushing unfinished games and patching patches to fix the game etc. Good I know about the 970 I was looking at them recently.

People of the internet i have an issue with the 900 the front has a serious negative camber issue going on, the wheels are straight, but whenever you turn, it feels like the tyres are folding over themselves, and when you straighten up the camber is all over the place, I've checked the suspension as best i can and it seems solid, could it be the steering rack is goosed? Before i took it all apart, it was doing the same thing with the tyres when i turned it so it's been there since i got it
Anyways all help is appreciated!

You should ask in the motors forum(Dedicated thread) as there is a lot of members in the forum but not many in this thread. I know when i started browsing this forum I used to ignore the chat thread so maybe a lot of people are like that.

Maybe, i threw it up on a 900 page on facebook too and so far they're stumped, so i figured someone here might have a small idea of where to even start, all the suspension components havent been touched, (springs and coils) and everything that was replaced is torqued to what it should be, so im at my wits end

Are these too rally inspired to suit my celica? Really want to get the 18's off it, but finding anything 5x100 and non VAG within 2 countys of me seems very hard.
