If you're that arsed just get a cone filter

That and if you did it as £30 then it's pure guess work as to when you've used exactly that amount... If you fill your tank, drive X miles, then refill the tank you know exactly how many miles you've travelled and exactly how many litres you've used to do it. It's pretty simple, why don't people get it? Anyway, my Audi does 27mpg, over 300 purely motorway miles, non stop at 60mph... Any faster and it does about 15mpg haha

Yeah, posted it loads in this thread at the time, Youtube "Jolfa" there's a big build thread for it on ClubGTI if you're really interested

I imagine some evaporated (as much as a lidless jerry can would evaporate in the space of 5 mins) some probably leaked a tad from the rear carbs, but the vast majority will have been used..!

My old twin Golf used a full 5 litre jerry can of petrol in one quarter mile (and back down the runoff), I make that around 2.6 gallons to the mile (or .45mpg)... Top that

Cringe. Standing on polystyrene chip boxes/takeaway trays first and breaking them.

Done that before (on my own car) hugely expensive mistake, feel your pain!

That was first uploaded by means of cave painting. Welcome to the internet, friend.

As above, bright painted drums are the sign of a true idiot.

Is this a bolt for that Porsche? Go to a scrapyard, a lot of 90s German cars used K-jet on at least a couple of engines - off the top of my head, Merc 190, Golf/Audi 16v (and early 8v) and all 5 pot VAG engines bar the 20vs, Porsche as you know, all the same stuff, same bolts etc If I've got the wrong person and we're not talking about the Porsche, ignore all of that

Your A3's better than everything though isn't it?

So the reason it's a million miles better than an M3, is because it is an M3 underneath, and the engine has been modified extensively? Impeccable logic. But there again, if you put the same time/money/effort into the M3 engine the end product would be better... And now you're being picked up on it, the whole thing was a joke..?

Regarded by who..? And a million miles better in every way?! Whut? How about power? Handling? Even looks, because the thing looks like a dog squatting to take a piss! Why say things like that*? As for saying diesels are dull/not fun, I stand by it, the only reason 99% of people consider one is as a mile muncher. I don't think anyone (apart from maybe yourself, Dan) has ever had fun in mind when making diesel their choice. And don't get me wrong, as everyone else says, there's nothing wrong with diesels, they're great for travelling places, but so are trains and I don't consider those fun either. Sorry! *unless some sarcasm has been lost here.

Ooo poking perfect blocks of oasis (the flower arranging stuff) and breaking sheet ice on puddles and the likes.

They're usually completely out of puff by 4k, it makes me cry when I drop a gear to overtake and have less power than the gear I was in in the first place On the other hand, I don't think I'd get on with a VTec either, no power until 19000 revs then that's your lot by 19001 I guess it's the lack of a power range I don't get on with, 1000 revs is not enough to have any fun with

I'd say an engine rebuild is a fairly big thing

Experience. Modified diesels are only ever about as good as a pretty average "sporty" petrol, and I hate the way they move, having all the power at the bottom end and shit all else.

Unless you have something like Or Then I'm afraid you are completely wrong, they are as dull as dishwater

I think it needing to be fun is a key factor though

I find it incredibly relaxing watching people/animals do mundane tasks, such as people having a normal quiet conversation/studying a map/writing that kind of thing, or in particular cats grooming themselves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_sensory_meridian_response may be of interest to some in this thread

Fresh butter and peeling the film off plastic/metal/screens as above. Socks and pants that have been on the radiator. Running a hot bath, I find it 100x more soothing than actually bathing in it once it's ready

Well I know the difference between the Audi 2.2/2.3 petrol and the 2.5 diesel is the crank. As above they're adapted engines which require different amounts of compression

All I can recommend is putting some mighty extra locks on it, the extra 2 I put on mine were removed with the aforementioned trolley jack! The guy who lives overlooking these garages caught them getting away once, in a dinghy on the canal beside them Then again, for all my stories of crime and woe, I didn't really do myself any favours, I was there all the time so lots of people must have seen all the shit (and it was mostly shit ) in there.

My lockup was on a public street surrounded by houses, got broken into more times than I can remember. At one point they were making a regular thing of it, leaving tools behind with a view to coming back (basically putting the car back together to try and steal it), so I ended up pocketing a load of their tools and a trolley jack There won't be rates on a lockup but once you get over a certain amount of floor space the council will sting you for business rates which are stupidly expensive!
