+1 i don't like them at all. they also don't wipe the whole screen! std bosch blades are much better imo.

looks great. inferno's really suit black wheels!

i like my miltek with silencer cection removed.

balance motorsport, or fred on here.

glad you got if fitted in the end jonny (nice one tom :)) cant wait to hear it mate!

fuel rail paint was drying in the paint oven. why? its on now, also matte black. not really needed tho.

normal paint from rattle can. not high temp. no need.

my inlets are painted with a normal rattle can of matte black paint. rocker is also painted with a normal rattle can but silver. works fine and hasn't chipped at all yet. header tank can be cleaned with normal shampoo or any cleaner tbh. wont come up crystal clear but clean enough.

there are certainly no big steps now :)

i used to like t1r's especially for the price. but after having v12's for a year i will be sticking with the v12's for sure. very good tyre.

i agree with jack_davey. my rs inlets were worth matching imo, they are so smooth inside now, from factory they were a little pitted and every little helps. 1mm more capacity over a area of half a square cubic metre (for instance) is worth having! and its a fairly cheap mod.

sounds like the cambelt has slipped to me.

wow! this is looking great, not seen the progress thread for a little while but its really come on well! im all out of suggestions to be honest apart from trying to lower it another 20mm or so like you said. great work!

the inlets are a bit bright for me but they look pretty good tho. not really keen on the splitter and grille to b be honest.

press the button on the end of the right stalk 3 times (iirc), that will display mpg. then press the button on the dials to reset the trip. edit: beaten to it.

as title. my car will be getting a coat of collinite 476s soon and i was wondering if its ok to use meguires tech wax (spray) as a top up now and again? or will it break down the collinite? cheers

its not too expensive to be honest. and when you enlarge the exit of the cat, you do away with that stupid v shape join that always blows/leaks.

you can weld up a pipe to make it fit, yes. but its not a straight swap.

i think i must be too old for this, i like the odd pop and bang on overrun (which mine does) but not every time you stick your foot down and shooting out big flames! i think there will be 2 reactions on the road to this... 1- cool! 2- tw*t, chav, di*k etc...

***quick update*** just a little update for anyone who might be interested in the cat and silencer modification. i have just got back from my mot and it passed with no problems at all.

lol.

just going off what they said ferd. was in for lots of other work and it was very cheap (as my mate is the owners son). they said the original match was not very good and it was worth doing.

one pipe looks more off centre than the other. mine has always sat perfectly centre, especially once the mounts were packed up with socket bits.

i have 'rs stamped' inlets and when jabbasport matched the upper and lower inlets for me they said it was well worth doing. took over 1mm out. i would have matched inlets over decat anyday, i don't like headache's.

thanks guys. if i do go for it i will be using advice above. keeping the moving and on a fairly slow speed.

thanks daniel. good to know, even if i just use it to correct my headlights.

sorry to hear the news. shame you cant afford to get it back on the road. looks a good one too!

cheers toby. yeah i have a good wash routine and i look after my towels, mitts, microfibres etc. might try some of this blackhole stuff then, i will look for it on i4 and cleanyourcar.

thanks for all of the help guys. still cant really work out if its a good idea or not. don't want to go making the paintwork worse. might just stick to my usual cleaning routine then pay someone to polish it at the start of next summer. better safe than sorry i guess.

very little. i polished my mates car using his dads rotary and thats about it. i usually get pretty good results by hand, just thought it would be handy having the option to use a machine. was also thinking of using it to remove the imperfections from my headlights.
