Gotta love the bog screen gaming, i'm kinda feeling left out now as i dont have a 360.


But i did pick up my colour coded bump strips and get my flywheel delivered today. :D

Phoned up Blueflame yesterday. 200 quid plus postage for a 3" downpipe without cat. Quality.

Get that and use your downpipe/cat to be cut up and flanged as a bolt in cat for legal purposes. :D

Nah i dont think so tom, i'm still not 100% sure its the right colour.

I took the paint code up and he disapeared and came back with the swatches showing 5 VAG colours with the same code, all were blue but had different tones. 1 lighter one, one darker one and 3 middle ones which pretty much looked the same. So i went with the middles ones.

Fingers crossed its ok.

Oh **** then, I'm colour blind, so small differences in colour are nothing to me, so i may end up with the wrong colour.

Although, colour blindness does have its advantages, if i ever felt like a change of job, colour blind snipers, are better at seeing people in camoflage.

Ive got a BIG oil leak, and a BIG rattle coming from my engine.

I sense the end of the cupra is nigh.

1st Dibs on the Ko3s!

Any idea where the leak is from Stan?

Angle grind what ever is rattleing.

Quick look this morning, and its coming from behind the oil filter housing/cooler. Don't know whats causing teh rattle though, oil pressure is good @ 2.2bar idle.

Will have a look properly when I can be bothered.

That doesnt sound good. Is it leaking from that area of you just down on oil?

Not something else rattling and your turbo seals casuing oil usage?
