  1. Came home this morning, noticed the steering was a bit heavy and the pump was making some amount of noise, turned the car off and went inside, when i came back out 5 mins later noticed some smoke coming from the grill, popped the bonnet and noticed my A/C belt was missing, then noticed it was evenly distributed around my engine bay. Upon closer inspection i noticed that part of the belt had wrapped itself around the inside of my PS pump pulley and the smoke was coming from power steering fluid leaking out and onto the exhaust below, i pulled all the bits out and was left with this. I fired up to autosave and managed to get a couple of belts and a bottle of slick 50 PS fluid (all they had). Chucked the belts on and topped the fluid up then fired the car up, i think the bit of belt wrapped around the inside of the pulley was keeping most fluid in, as soon as i fired the car up it spewed fluid out then started making horrible noises, i had to drive it the 10 yards round the back of my house, sounded like id ran over a fleet of ducks. So now im hoping to get a pump of Adzer on this very forum, the one he has is one off an older car but he thinks that the only diff is the reservoir and i can swap that, can anyone confirm? Also any recommendation on fluid or is it all 10 a penny? Cheers Guys
  2. Ive got 355's on my type r, i dunno about modding the brakets or the like, everything in the kit bolted on and fitted sweet as. Deffo need 18's though, its pretty tight
  3. It seems there is a lot of negativity towards how the scoobs AWD system copes with the snow, i have a type R so obvioulsy no ABS and i have the DCCD. The DCCD is a small work of genius, if the back starts feeling twitchy i just keep winding it forward till it tames the car, my drive was covered in about 4/5 inches on saturday, set the DCCD to lock and just drove up it as normal, quite an epic bit of kit for sure. Obviously stopping is still an issue but you just have to put a bit of thought into it and make sure you have the space to stop and be gentle as h3ll on the brakes, sudden movements are a massive no no
