I'm looking at replacing the back box on my standard exhaust myself with a new one I've acquired, but reading a few posts on here it sounds as if it could be a real pain in the bum to do. Original one piece exhaust is on so pipe needs cutting to remove back box and then sleeve fitting on...

I'm full of questions today! Is this an easy task to complete on an Ibiza? I'm reasonably happy doing stuff on my MTB but the most I've done on a car is change a wheel and swap a back-box on my scoob. I do have axle stands and a trolley jack. What else would I need other than big hammer...

Just a thought really, always seeing cheap IHI turbos removed from scooby do's on ebay and everyone is always on the hunt for cheap K03s conversions, wouldnt it be just as easier (and in fact easier to source IHI than K03s) to do a IHI conversion and maybe run 280-290 BHP comfortably? Who...

Hi, I am going to start doing oil changes etc on my Leon 150TDi. Can anyone offer me any advice as where to find the Oil Filter & Fuel Filter Do I need to change anything else? Cheers, N

ive just bought a supersprint exhaust for my 20vt, and was considering fitting it myself. i was just wondering if anyone has any tips or hints, or whether it would be better to take it to a garage and part with my £30. i have also heard from a couple of people that the old exhaust needs to be...
