    These arrived this morning. Two delivered to the door for €67 each. They have great reviews and I am very happy with the GoodYear F1's on the 166 I said I'd try the smaller brother.

    Getting them fitted today so will be interesting to see how they compare to the rainsports...:)

    Those Goodyear Efficientgrip tyres are pretty good, got them for my Bora. They were €57 each at the time for 195/65/R15, can't see the size on yours though.

    Can someone recommend a good place that makes braided oil lines?

    Need one from the block to the turbo and want to change it to a banjo type fitting

    I would try the likes of shades tint or the likes they should have no problem supplying.

    Excuse the bad photo, but here it is. I took only one quick snap after putting it in.

    For the record, I did not install those rear speakers. I would have done a better job... and used better speakers... those are crap, even though they say they're 350w.

    This is her best angle. Bonnet is silver and driver side wing is black... I need to sort that. Other than that it's clean and everything works.

    The weather is smashing and I've a pair of pads and a pair of discs to do on the car but I've opened a beer. To tackle the job now or the morning? Its been a loooong bastard of a week. Didn't get that job I posted about by the way :( I knew two mins in to the interview I made a balls of it. Ah well. Onwards and upwards! Have the car booked in with Aidan Frahill (mine and Mc Loves favorite mechanic ever) in Limerick to sort what I can't sort for the re-test next week.

    May have gotten blitzed on the Mountview road... bugger.

    Had pulled someone else ahead of me, and I'd slowed it down before I spotted him, but I'd still been doing close to the top of second gear for a bit.

    I have the same housing on my yoke. Get the strap if you can. I think its better than a socket. The previous owners have the housing destroyed on mine from the socket (must source a new cover for the next oil change). Am I right in thinking the filter is at the top of your engine or am I losing the plot?

    Don't talk to me abut oil filter wrenches.

    I bought a new one and it was still too large.
