Roadkill plus most other shows on the Motor Trend channel, most shows on the Drive channel although their content has reduced unless you pay, some of 1320's videos, some Swedish street racing videos (which are always epic), mighty car mods. Maybe a few others but nothing significant.

May have a new job lined up so need some wheels for myself, might be getting a van still in October but need something inbetween so strongly considering mx5. This look anygood? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181500599829

That looks good, although as ever check the arches/sills for rot, although it's only been in the country for 7 years so it's probably in good condition.

I f**king love it, they don't like newbies that they can't meet.

I went along to a day with Prawn last year, after never really posting for a year or so.

Met everyone, made some friends, get on fine with everyone now.

What they don't like is people nobody knows popping up and sharing nuggets of information and sharing opinions as facts. (Not saying Rich or Adam did that, but just saying that's the way it is.)

Because with NL, no matter who you are and what you've done. There is always somebody who has genuinely done it better who also wants to share their experience and knowledge.

Going to look at a new project this weekend all being well, looking forward to it a lot! Not crazy about the idea of selling the Passat but needs must..

The VRS? I followed an 09 Octavia VRS taxi last night. I bet his petrol bills are fun.

Unfortunately not, I had my eyes on it but it's not to be just yet. It was too nice for me so it'd be a shame to treat it like I do my passat. Plus when I'm sat in one I sit level with the b post so I can't see anything to my right :lol:.

New project will involve air ride, a fair bit of fabrication, a lot of interior work and a respray. Quite excited about it! I'll get pictures up if I purchase on Saturday.

Sounds interesting/cool. I'm going to take a random stab in the dark and guess it's aircooled?

Skoze:

In terms of reading I pretty much stick to here, Retrorides, Speedhunters and a small amount of Audisport (basically just Nicks build thread.)

In terms of videos, Roadkill and Mighty car mods are my only real regulars, but I find my self watching a fair few drive/motortrend when they show a subject I'm interested in.

Rear ARB arrived today, fella forgot the weld on mounts for my subframe though :( hopefully get it fitted up over the next few weeks.Also going to fit new bushes out back and replace whatever else necessary before getting the rear aligned as it's still not actually been done :$ Club member also got some springs manufactured to replace the commonly broken OS engine mount spring which is no longer available, that should make my engine less wobbly :P

Hi guys

Does anyone have experience in building split rims? I'm currently building some 2 piece rims (face and barrel are one piece and the lip is another) and i'm needing to seal them where the lip and barrel meet.. I've done a quick bit of research and people are saying to use a Silicone RTV sealant.

Now I have no experience with this sort of stuff and don't really know what i'm looking at online, So just wondering if anyone could recommend a brand of seleant that might be decent to use.

Thanks

So i thought i could post something here too.
After i had tosell my 325i E30 Track tool 2 Years ago i was driving a 318i E30 to work and so.
But it was clear that i need something more cheap in driving so i got myself a VW Touran TDI.
Nice car much space but the "Full throttle fun" was missed.
So now i got myself a Honda CRX Del sol as second car.
D16Z6 Enginge 1.6 Vtec 125HP.
Gonna turbocharge it (running Megasquirt)
Will upload pictures soon!
Cheers
