(05-16-2014, 03:42 PM)Purplecomputer Like seriously! How does that even happen????
Here i am driving around with a different coloured fender!
Awwww, the good ol' days, not a care in the world and even less responsibility. Young grasshoppah, this happens when you pass to certain age and become able to snatch rock. This time of life also known as adulthood. Have job, marry wife, pay bill, make carbon copies of self, act like know everything, etc. Simple, but very complex.;-D
(05-18-2014, 07:00 PM)The Stig What I'm interested in doing now is getting a bit more power...
Can anybody make any suggestions or point me in the right direction please? Any help much appreciated.
Once you head down that road be aware that unscheduled downtimes may increase, both in frequency and duration. Might not be the ideal route if the car remains the "goto" family mover. Since you expressed the desire to keep your setup as stock as possible there's only so much you can do to the factory config that will produce any gains in power. It is possible, as some members here can attest, to coax another fifteen percent or so outta the motor in standard kit.
This is a good start:

Any significant gains in performance, when it comes to the oil burner, are realized ONLY after supplying more fuel per cycle. Period. You can modify or upgrade every other component in the engine bay (or elsewhere,) but until you increase the amount of fuel you force into that powerplant, you get zero ROI from any of it. Link above is a decent primer on the diesel injection pump and what can be done to the pump that comes standard on your motor.
Also, this:

An excellent resource for those looking to add some extra punch while changing or modding as little as necessary.
Now, on to my favor 8-D
Would you mind slapping together a little howto on your front plate setup? That, sir, is way too MF koo! Was that an original idea or?
So weird, I suddenly have the urge for a mahtini, shaken... not stirred.

ETA: Bravisimo on the wheel selection. Those EVO's are CHOICE. They fit the 124 beautifully.
