    Done deal!

    In all fairness what would anybody make of the Hudson bay area of athlone.
    Lakeside, ample parking.
    Could be a good meet spot.

    Dead central too!

    Plenty of water for Gvidor to park in too :pac:

    We used to hold our Midlands meet there when vagdrivers was still good. Great spot for meets! Nice and relaxing.

    On another note, for the last while the intake noise off my 1.8t a3 AUM engine has being louder( whooshing air noise) I services it yesterday with genuine parts and its seems to have lessened quiet a bit as the spurious air filter didn't sit as well as the new OEM Filter power returned too which was wierd.

    However, I'm concerned my vacuum is less than it should its sits at -12psi when off throttle and remains at about -2 on partial throttle, then sits nicely at 10psi on WOT. Does this sound ok for a standard 1.8T?
    See gauge for where it sits on closed throttle.

    We've got that from a percentage for sure CM, they are supposed to be totally light hearted, pointless and stupid videos :)

    If they were even remotely funny I'd see the point, but they're not at all. Pointless I think hits the nail on the head

    A big dramatic climax with the music going on an all, and then nothing just a few messers with rattle cans...whhhhhhhhhhyyy :pac:.

    Exactly, they are more for ourselves really but they have grown to a little audience :)
    Pointless though is a perfectly good term to use!

    Are those comments not a bit harsh?
    I thought the video was good. Went to an effort to make it and also doing some mechanical work on a car. Doing work like that on a car on your back is times you wished you had a pit or heist. Not that I ever fitted a gearbox but I know from experience being under a car on my back it is a bítch, no where to move your arms or anything.

    Cian loves editing and films literally everything, from his bike vlogs to this kind of thing! Most love it and his subscribers are getting bigger each week which is good.
    I wouldn't say they were harsh, some people react to them that way, they are totally pointless and if you haven't got the same sense of humour as us you can easily sit there going WTF? I understand that :)

    We're all good :)

    It would be funny if everyone had the same sense of humour.

    You don't get your arse licked just because you posted something on the internet. It's one of many videos Yb has posted at this stage (these and the bike ones), and all of them have been pure nonsense shíte - I actually feel robbed of minutes of my life after watching it. I'm pretty easy going in terms of sense of humor, but I can't even figure out how someone would think its funny.

    I'd say most of the regulars work on their own cars here. In general not to the extent of gearbox out, but then you've the likes of dgt who can swap an engine in under an hour. But the video shows nothing actually being done either... its like something you'd expect a transition year to produce.

    You should no better than to watch them so!! I found it half interesting. There the inside of a nissan box. RWD so handy. Be fitting a FWD box with some mates tomorrow night. Similar mix of arsing about and trying not to get thick at each other!

    You have a serious problem, things can only go the way you like them, when I got my new sig a few months ago you were like a dick towards it. If you go onto any of the other forums on boards.ie you see large size sigs and nobody reports them. Duke O Smiley got a new Citroen sig and was taking down on him for being too large and it would not put it past you if it was you who reported his signature.

    Like I said they are just fun man, leave it out.
    If you have a problem and they are consistently not funny to you refrain from watching them.
    It's a bit much the way you are going on.

    I reckon I know you don't like them at this stage, or maybe I'm reading you wrong :)
