    MPG problems? change your lambda....

    just wanted to be sure even though 37mpg (US) at 80 would've been too optimistic!

    Best all-season tyres

    I would buy some cheap t1r's for the summer and also a cheap set of winter tyres if on a budget. I'm not a fan of compromises when it comes to traction/handling

    2,5" cat mod YES or NO

    while we're in the cat area.. the emission light came on today after I wanted to get the tailpipes re-aligned- this involved some banging with a hammer at some joints as they were stuck and I think this messed up the second lambda sensor Am I right saying that the second lambda is indeed the...

    2,5" cat mod YES or NO

    I was thinking at the loss of back pressure bla bla but fcuk I'll do it I suppose I'm still opened to suggestions though ;)

    2,5" cat mod YES or NO

    Basically the narrow cat exit towards the center section (the one that needs to be cut and replaced with a 2,5" exit pipe) has a crack in it and without providing details the guy who welded it said it might not last for long so.. Is the cat mod worth the hassle? I know BTB does something like...

    Painting Calipers

    many say red means you want to make people think you have brembo's. I think red will look good with most colours and there is a good number of cars with red painted calipers straight out of the factory without them being brembo MK V GTI Leon cupra Octavia vrs just to name a few

    Painting Calipers

    exactly ;) I used red on both calipers and plenum, very good quality paint and no problems with high temperature resistance

    Hello from Australia

    question is: will the k-tec suspension make the car faster than standard? if the answer is yes than it's worth the money. Generally people say the car goes better with these cheap kits but I haven't seen a lap time std vs cheap coils to see if it really is a difference I'd buy them though just...

    Painting Calipers

    blue vs black.. black I'd say you can do this cheaper by using hammerite and a brush

    Why do 15's make the handling better?

    he bought the car with them on so couldn't tell edit: you could email here: info@ozracingltd.co.uk according to the official website they're the UK distributor

    Why do 15's make the handling better?

    not true^ a friend has 15x7" ultras on his 172. maybe they are harder to get right now

    Had Silenced De-cat! MPG??

    had a read recently and fitting a de-cat will decrease back-pressure which some will say it won't do good to power or torque. so do you really gain anything from fitting one? my cat exit towards the mid section is slightly damaged and I was thinking of either doing the 2,5" cat mod or to buy a...

    Which induction kit?

    ^at ~380 it should be good :) as I said if you go for an enclosed induction from a decent manufacturer and run the CAF properly these kits would work.

    Which induction kit?

    i'm pleased with my BMC. I think the most important thing is to have a good CAF and avoid heat soak. enclosed IK's will help

    Fitted these washer jets

    my old ones used to leak a bit after use and so are these. so no clue about this
  26. ripp

    Fitted these washer jets

    yes they should. but to be on the safe side take a pic before ordering and post it here
  27. ripp

    Fitted these washer jets

    try to get some heat to it ( a lighter maybe) it may expand and come off easily

    Hankook V12 EVO or Hankook RS2 ?

    I was fine with rs2 on the front and pe2 on the rear but that's another story. I wanted to know your opinion on rs2 vs 595 rs-r (handling wise)

    brake pad choices

    I went off in an early morning 2 years ago and up the mountain road featured in the "Transfagarasan" episode from Top Gear. it was some 10 km of hard driving towards the top but the OE pads worked well. that was maybe because there were about 10 degrees outside but anyway.. So I'm guessing that...

    Hankook V12 EVO or Hankook RS2 ?

    ^ you're saying the rs2's handle better than the federal RS-R? I was tempted to try the federals in the spring. one of my front rs2's was damaged and thought of buying a set or at least 2 federals
