Hello everyone, been searching google for my engine code, but can only find D16Y3 but believe thats for earlier models? I want to buy leads and plugs, anyone have any suggestions please? Are Magnecor leads worth the money? Thanks

Spent all day waxing and polishing....oh and a bit of dechroming, so much better -
Ok cheers mate, had alook, i think its the 410mm long one but better measure up just in case!
-
Fair enough mate, as i say very envious, you got any youtube action?
-
Can someone tell me what size i need for mine please? Really want one, but dont really want to get one made up at powerflow as they always seem to do a second rate job, thanks

I would never by coilovers without damping adjustment again, I bought some for my old audi, dropped it on the deck and ride was so bouncy and soft it was awful

Nice build mate, just had to laugh to myself was looking at my car tonight thinking, its looking just right, sitting nice and level then just read this and remembered just filled up and got another alloy in the boot as well as my spare...damn! Have to get the c spanner out after all, im like you hate it if not sitting right

Man im so jealous of your turbo! You made it sound so easy to install as well, really would like one but sure someone said would cost a couple of grand to sort, just too much for me to spend on a cheap car! Love the exhaust , ok for mot? Well done mate , got that sorted quick time

So no massive updates apart from some new lugs, this time longer ones and not alloy but nice strong steel...good price £37 Was going to lower it a bit more but did some gtf measurements, and all nice and level, so think ill leave it as a mission to get all level. Did decide to adjust damping though as front seemed really soft, after a couple of road tests settled on rear 2 clicks away from hardest setting and fronts 15 clicks so about medium (30 click adjustment) Drives much better, much more stable around corners and nice and firm at the back. -

Nice one thanks -
Always preferred older cars, my first car was a 1967 mg, followed by loads of mk1 and mk2 escorts. Older cars have more character, my mb, you open the bonnet and you know exactly what everything is, my mrs audi sportback, just a big lump of plastic, lovely to drive but boring, intercooler hose blew off the other day... Tried locating it, need to remove bumper before you can even see it Im very much a 90's car man now and in the 90s i was very much a 80's car man (still would be but because of the bloody scrappage scheme mad everything so rare and unobtainable)

Cheers lads! Few more shots, think the offset quite good, ,kumhos are excellent, so much quieter than the nankangs on the motorway, car seems to drive much better on 15's. Done a quick clean with dodo juice but rain stopped play -
