  1. Mine had the same flat spot, especially noticable once I'd put a straight through exhaust on. Did seem to go once I'd had my chains / tensioners replaced at 160K miles. So my 2p worth is that Matt's diagnosis is valid. Vr6 boy might be right that the chains stretch, up to a point, almost immediatly in which case the engine is probably designed for it, but if they stretch too far, surely the top sprocket can become slightly out of sync with the drive cog, throwhing the timing out a smidge. With my new chains mine roars less as well, which I certainly attribute to the timing being better. TG
  2. Looking through the phirms web site the team page doesn't list a Matt. He must just be a satisfied customer.
  3. Mine came to £165 and I was in a tinny 4pot. So my guess would have to be in the region of £250
  4. Somebody somehwere must have/had some crossed wires. I believe the engine in the red MK2 was announced over the speakers, from the drivers sign-on sheet Did sound like it had a DSG, or else the driver was incredible quick with his gear changes.
  5. I'm sure most of us will remember seeing the photographers mate. ;-)
  6. Good job I've found mine then. Safe in the ash tray. Safe as I'm a none smoker but easily forgotten about. So I'm back on for the Last On Ferry Festival. TG. P.s. Who spotted the thinly disguised attempt to boost this thread as the Work Assoc one was catching up again?
  7. What a scorching day. Thanks to RichieVR's timely offer of suncream I'm just nicely brown. Well the bits that were on show. It has to be way hotter than that for my knees to come out. I do have a rep. to maintain :-[ I'm strill trying to live down Ed38 last year when I left my goth uniform at home. Fantastic turn out. One of the, if not the, largest club there. Well deserving of our prime pitch. Glad you newbies enjoyed yourselves and plan to come back for more. Especially good to have a Vento on show. At this rate it won't be long before we are allocated the entire strip from the
  8. Doh! I seem to have tidied away my 'Ring tcket with 7 laps left on it. My justification for going again was to use them up. If I can't find it, I'll have to thing twice about June!
  9. Mmmm. I'd like a youth on my side ;-)
  10. forgot to add' date=' thats only if I dont write it off at the ring Pete [/quote'] Feck me, there's nothing like tempting fate. You should have kept quiet Pete.
  11. I'm taken with the 22nd - 24th June. Sounds better than going to Somerset! [lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1176481181_2196_FT148551_last_on_ferry.jpg][/lightbox]
  12. Looks like the weather is going to be so much better than last year. :-)
  13. If we go again and the thread continues and beats the Schrick thread do I get a trophy at Billing?
  14. 22nd - 24th June is Glastonbury! But as I didn't even bother registering for tickets, now they've put the price up to £150, that's all good. I know where I'd prefer to be. Shirley Bassey is headlining for fooks sake!
  15. Another of Cadguy taken at Adenauer Forst on Sunday [lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1176392762_2196_FT168842_img_0300.jpg][/lightbox] http://www.ring-fans.de/Fotos/080407
  16. 16th June is Inters ( and MUSE ), July 8th is GTi summer fest. I've already suggested 23/24th June as the Friday before is a half day as well :-)
  17. I can't show you exactly as the text disappears. Put image tags ( IMG in square brackets [] at front and /IMG in square brackets at end ) around the photobucket URL. Or copy the Photobucket link with the tags already in place.
  18. 1st and 2nd is the only weekend in Sept. with both days fully open. But as usual there is a full Wednesday following. So offer the better halves 2 days of none 'Ring sights and make a week of it ;-) [lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1176305713_2196_FT148551_maar_001.jpg][/lightbox] [lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1176305713_2196_FT148551_maar_004.jpg][/lightbox]
