Thanks @thexav ! Sceduals there in first 6 months will be crazy for me. Will be here as much as possible. Whole week had no time for calling home. During the day I got classes, and at night must learn technical and law stuff in foreign language - german. Take the fact that I do sound funny in...

Thank you Waynne! Sorry for delay. Real hectic times for me. Today is the day I must say goodbie to my Ibiza as I go to Austria for good and she isn't compatible with Austrian legislations. Hopefully she will find good hands to take care of her and she could stretch her legs (driveshafts?) time...

It also got PD130 inlet manifold as it is bigger: Small Sport bumper needed some triming insed to make him fit, but here it is how it looked then: Turbo had some problem with VNT stop screw so this was the result back then: And this is measured on the road: Car had no problems to pass...

Hello all! Zwaf is back...at least for short. Haven't been around for long time, but I do apreciate fact that once in a while someone ask how am I. Hope all of you are doing well. Waynne had mentioned to me today that he hadbad stuffs in familly - his Mom and brother. :( Wish you all the Gods...

Whoah! Nice! I mean the beemar is really good car, espacially after your twiking and moding, but this should be another dimension. Looking forward to follow threads about new project car.

300ZX? Supra? Or....NSX??? C'mon, more clues!

Hi Prince, my mate! Sad to hear you're selling your gorgeus coupe... But the night is most dark right before dawn - did you say..... something Japanese with big turbo and AWD perhaps ;) ?

I'm anxious as well about finishing the Beeza, but foe now all of us are trying to install as much order in our finances as we can in case we all get fired as those peops in our neighbour company - in 1 day 1400 people get fired. So you, your familly and The Beast are fine? Oh, it's a such good...

Hi T9 and all others! Just saw email anouncement someone has replyed in my thread...and damn I glad someone did! Thank you for your interest, T9! How are you? How are all of you guys? Must say, got no news about my car. So far I have had managed to get divorced on one hand - that is bad news...

Semi bad passenger - i don't complaint, but am aware of every mistake and potentionally dangerous scenario. As someone said above, often they don't even drive fast. most of my collegues don't even try to impress me with their driving skils, TBH. ;) Must be honest and say few of them drive really...

I know how warm asphalt effects winter tyre compund. They get greasy. I got two sets of alloys - one for winter (15 inch) and one for sommer (16 inch). Will think what to do with sommer set. Maybe get that wheel fixed and than sell 16 inch wheels and 2 good 16 inch tyres with less than 300 miles...

Yes i did! Never buy soft wall tyres and if you do - do not dump your old ones. :lol:

So much about Hankook's... :( For the first time in my life I managed to destroy tyres on curb. Both left tyres got riped sidewalls and one alloy must be fixed. Did I tell ya they got soft sidewalls? :lol: And just for irony, I have dumped my old F1's....So I'm now on winter wheels and tyres...

Does it have any letters on back? If so, you may try google those letters. Other then that I can't be of much help here. P.S. First asociation when I read the topic title was: "Why would he boter with swiming wear - Speedo!?" :lol: :lol:

In last 5 years: None. Thanks God! In last 10 years: As above plus some old man landed in my rear end on highway. Was forced to brake because some Mercedes driver decided to stop (!!!) for no obvious reason. Guy infont of me managed to stop, and so was I. But driver behind me got no enough time...

Thanks! Good to know such things incase first aid for MAF needed. :)

If it is Leon mk1 then yes - they had model with 4x4.

Hi Rustyboy! Thank you for takin' your time to write here. Realy apreciate your words! I know about Siemens/Bosch saga and several engine failures because of burned pistons due bad spray patern Siemens injectors develop during their lifetime. About remap, I am surely aware that every change in...

OK, thanks! So, just spray it and wait to dry away.

Glad you have located your problems and find solutions for them! Can you tell more about MAF cleaning with carb spray? What spray? How to clean? Just for info if aanybody would need it in future - maybe even me. ;)

I always know what car, engine, collor and pack I want. So far in my history i never ever once had money to actually buy it. :lol: So i start with compromises and end up with what is in my reach. Read: couple colinders less, couple hundreds of HP less and diesel instead of petrol. :lol: For...

Hi T9! :) We do understand each other! Me to are thinking that regular oil change (and other including stuff) is enough. I do it my way because fuel in my country is of doubtfull quality** and I knew that car will belong to me for a long long time. Dont use mineral oil because my pumpe duese...

Every other oil change i made was with engine flush. I know there is no sludge, but I do it just for preventing. Therefore can not tell if you can clean already sluged engine. As metioned above, i believe it is enough to use decent oil and change it regularly as well as the filters and your...

Well, first to answer to my own questions in above posts: It is a turbine from Tuareg. It got both oil feed and oil return lines from underneath. On picture you can see biger and smaller hole. Biger one is oil return line and smaller one is oil feed. And yes, I didn't manage to put my claws onto...

Egsactly, mate! Whole point should be to tune the car to your preferences and then enjoy driveing it. Not being in endles circles of planing, buying, dismantling and posting pictures. ;)

Yes Wayne! Think Maserati is about to offer their SUV as well. Who's next? Jag, Ferrarri or (god forbiden) Caterham? :)

This info should be highlighted for all who suffer from cloged engine! However, it could be indicated that chemical cleaning could be good enough (5% gain of highly cloged engine) for maintainance of clean engine so it can't gater clog so easy.

Thank you, Morgan! I was thinkon' of cleaning without dismantling the engine, but I see you don't think that is good choice. I ask because common knowledge. For now got no problems. Since day one my car is getting a full service every 10k km (6,2k miles), every 60k km she got intake manifold and...

Seems like Mazda CX7 and BMW X6 are geting a company. ;)

Nah....thank you for posting pictures and reports! Can't wait for road review! Just don't take to much risk. One fliped Lude this week is more than enough among torquecar members.

Since you mentioned it, can you (or anybody else, of course) tell your opinion about those cleaning chemicals for engine internals? For egsample valve cleaners, injector cleaners. Or those machines which suposed to clean all fuel paths including pistons?

Function over form for me. No exceptions! I see what you talking about here as well. Think some people does not give a dam for driving. They just want to look good. As far as those guys know they make compromise regarding grip and handling I got no objections. Everyone got his own cup of tea...

Is it just me or is she really lean on left side? Maybe is just an camera angle or odd light? Otherwise........whow! Your bimer is becoming a real eyecatcher! And with coils and so much negative camber in asociation with good tyres i bet she is a corner eater! Me like!

Who? :blink: :?: :lol::lol::lol:

You must be thinkin' of that german guy who hides things from me all the time....Azl...Ahzla....Alzheimer. Got it - Alzheimer! :) If you are searching for specific car tuning you can always find some "owners club" site.

Sad to see your Lude upside down. :( (Altough, she got healthy exsaust... :) ...just a joke to cheer you up a little, mate!) Don't worry about pride! Everybody who drives sharp is prone to land somewhere on the side of the road. If you are unhurt everything else can be fixed. Did you get those...

Try torquecars.com! ;)

Yes!!! Invision it is! "Rhytm" and "Next One"! Tryed to find his two topics but no luck before you tell me the name. :) If Invision can build a car out of scratch i think he could be able to help here if he's interested and got some spare time.

At first it seems odd to me, but after Stamford's post it began to click in. If you can do it without longening the chassis then better, even if that mean to custom make some drivetrain parts to fit. I'm not an guy who can help here, but I cross my fingers for you to success. Maybe you can get...

Does anybody here got photoshop? Lets make black, red, silver and bronze exemplars and see how it looks!? P.S. While got photoshop going I could see how will my Ibiza look with Bronze wheels. :)
