Re: Recommend Somewhere To Get Tracking Sorted.

If you're after the best tracking service, my local Protyre is awesome, state of the art and the car always feels spot on after. Or buy yourself a pair of tracking mats and do it yourself, pays for itself within a year and you'll know it's up to scratch because you've done it. They may not be as acc...

Re: B4 Overhaul

Thats great, you've settled my mind now, will put them on order this afternoon. Checked deutschparts (not deutschpartsusa ( http://stores.ebay.com/Deutsche-Parts-USA ) lol) and he has a RH leccy one; but I want both in manual form. Might message him seeing as they're so cheap (VW quoted me £96 for ...

Re: Are 'touch up' paints any good?

Some nice info here, never really been that good at detailing. Mine has a couple of long key marks on it so I might try some touch up to keep it sweet until the respray... Never really been that confident with touch ups though, I suppose the secret is to take it slow; to add is easy but to take away...

Re: B4 Overhaul

Wow thats some great info right there! Hmm no luck with the mirrors, he seems to have a lot of electrics in at the moment but i'll bear him in mind for the future as he seems pretty cheap (Deutsch Parts is a US shop yeah?). Those poly bushes sound like a good idea, not expensive either! And you reck...

B4 Overhaul

Just signed up to these amazing forums and thought I'd ask a bit of advice... I'll just run you by my 'Percy's Parts' list and see what you all think; seeing as you've all probably got more B4(/3) experience than me (as I've only owned him for 8 months), some objective views/opinions would be great....

New B4 member - Flea!

Hey there, Flea here. Thought I'd get in with the crowd, I have previously owned a MK3 Fiesta and a 00 VTEC Civic; but I bit the bullet last year and bought myself a 1.9 B4 Estate called Percy (he's a 97 P plate). Having done some saving and some research I have finally got round to doing him up, it...
