  9. An unusual transmission sound

    in Engine Maintenance and Problems

    Posted

    I am just checking wheter another visit to the stealers before the warranty runs out isnt in order... so any advice would be welcome.

    On my way home last night and sat in traffic as you do ... so rather than use the brakes a quick blip on the throttle down from 4th to 3rd... then again blip and in to second... so maybe at around 3-4k revs and i get a bit of a transmission whine...

    I have never noticed it in any other gears and so i tried slowing again using 2nd gear and I get a sound when the clutch starts to take up then it disapears once down below 2k revs...

    Is this the early start of something or just a quirk of the car? (58 plate R32)

    Thanks one and all....

  10. HTC Sensation

    i have a personal perspective on this..

    Why do i have to be limited to the iPhone?? by that Android is open format and it is very easy to simply copy a file over rather than it neededing to be in the correct format or at iphone prices...

    mp files use more memory than wmv for a very basic example...

    I have the sensation and am very happy with it. the only thing you need to do is have a gmail email account to purchase some apps. after that free access to all environments..

    everyone i know with an iphone or ipod or... yup they are all into the iweb site and work much better with macs... but they all are less quality then the other products out there.. such as if you listen to the sound quality of a sony device vs a ipod you'll know what i mean..

    lifestyle over quality i think sums it up for me..

    njoy which ever way you go..

  11. 4motion head gasket problems??

    in Syncro, R32 and 4motion

    Posted

    as said,,, but its the other bits and how far do you go???

    Is it just the gasket? Did you stop straight away is there any warpin' on the head and by how much do want to skim?

    I would always suggest if you do this and whilst the head is off and engine is in bits.. do other stuff whilst there.. clutch/chains/etc/etc...

    As said. the other engine may be perfectly fine... and you know yours..BUT do the fix right first time otherwise it'll cost ya again... and the other engine may have been okay..

    If you go for the other engine

    what warranty comes with it and can you go and see it before hand?

    can you hear it run now??

    Plus how long can you be without the car? If you get the 2nd engine you could then keep this one and rebuild ready for TURBO POWER!!!!!! and just drop it in when ready :D

  12. OMG!!!!! How much?????????

    Well renewal time is upon me for my car insurance and my company sent a letter as they do. Simply tick box and we will renew (l) ... So i thought I would just check.. you know as they hook you year one and F$$k you year two...

    They had "just added" £1,100.26.... Yes you read that correctly.... I'll say it again... £1,100.26

    So I would like to thank the owners clubs for the 20% discount as it saved me on my renewal £50.. from last years value...

    I thank you!

  18. Some say the Golf VR6 is slow

    in General Chat

    Posted

    i owned the type R and it is much quicker off the mark and more agile,,, but you have to be in the right gear otherwise it is pants at motorway speeds..

    horses for courses mate... and I was still only getting 30mpg outta the civic..

    Fit a charger to the VR and then the car feels like it shoulda come out the factory... trust us!!!

  25. new wheels conversation please???

    in General Chat

    Posted

    So I am going to have to replace some wheels and whilst I will look at the cheaper options of getting them free... It leads me to ask some questions that I think are best served by people who have more experience than I.

    SO Standard wheels I beleive are 18x8 ET45??? (not sure on that ET).. Now whilst everyone wants a set of BBS LMs... in a practical sense how are LM reps? what am I particularly paying attention to from a quality reputation and I suppose warranty perspective and does anyone have horror stories about particular brands???

    Anyone have any idea if I pop to 18.5 will I need to do anything???

    Tyres... I dont want stretch but if I go to 8.5 from 8 do i need to get wider tyres?

    Of course if you have any other advice please let me have it...

    Thanks
