PlasticX works pretty well but its very hard work by hand.

Its sudden increases in torque/power that'll kill the box. Superchargers 'should' be ok with the standard box as the torque/power increase is much more controlled. But i may be talking rubbish!

Ah right!! Well ive ordered the Eibachs! I'm thinking of doing a stud conversion now

No Ive found them for about half the price. Am quite undecided at the moment! Did you get longer bolts to use with yours?

Has anyone had any trouble with those stud conversion kits off of ebay?

Why not get the FK ones that are half the price though?

Ive found brentacre are the best for mods. Everything is free to add to your policy i.e. no admin charge. You can do whatever you like to your car upto a certain agreed BHP and because they are a small company they also seem to have the personal touch over the phone.

^^ I had DS2500s on my last car and I hated the amount of dust they produced plus they scared me a few times when they were cold. I had the greenstuffs on the clio for the last year and I thought they were fine. Yes they do fade after some hard abuse but its gradual fade nothing dangerous...

^ per pair?

Ive just got some of the yellowstuffs for a good price. Much better when cold than the reds and very good once hot. The problem with EBC is they have changed there compunds but not the product names so hence why there are so many mixed opinions on them.

The other one. Does anyone else think it would be a good idea for a Mod to put a note at the bottom of this thread to follow the instructions in the other thread and then lock this one??

V6 espace airbox and an itg filter if your after a bit more noise. Otherwise just stick with a panel filter and some upgraded cold air feeds.

As James said you just fill it until it comes out of the filling hole. Easy peasy. It will probably take around 3 litres as you never get all the old stuff out.

Ive got a feeling they are totally different

Can a mod please move this I just realised I posted it in the wrong section....

Ah right. If your speaking from experiance what did you get instead?

Thats why i'm tempted by one of the kits on ebay

I'm looking to put 5mm spacers on my PH1 it give it he same track as the cup as ive heard it helps the handling a little. Obviously hubcentric spacers arn't really needed. Ive found some FK spacers for a reasonable price but ive got no idea on where to get the longer bolts from or what size...

Do non hubcentrics cause balance problems as some people on here say to get hubcentrics and others dont? I'm tempted to get some 5mm ones for mine so Ive got the same offset as the cup.

^^ Yeah pay your tenner you tight arse!! You get a nice keyring, tax disk holder and cliosport sticker out of it.

Exactly. My friend at work turned the DSC off in his M3 and had an epic tallent failure hence why hes now driving a 520d. As said the average woman/man wants to get from A-B as safetly as possible and in one piece. My GF drives a Cooper S and she can drive it reasonably fast because it...

I understeered the GF's dads truck into my mums gate post yesterday at less than 5 mph. I had already done the braking the car started to turn in, hit a patch of black ice then kept going towards the post (about 10m) was the slowest crash in history. The ABS was so intrusive I had no chance of...

Can somebody please translate this??

A sign of a buggered lambda sensor is rubbish fuel ecconomy.

I dont think ive ever been in a small car thats not loud on the motorway. Even the new mini is loud.

See Here for a basic guide.

How are we doing with this?

I reckon it could be the lambda sensor

Make sure the emissions light goes off as a fussy mot tester will fail it for that.

Sort of correct most go to 7800 and almost all that I know of keep the lower limit when the engines cold. Would be stupid to do away with it as its there to protect the engine.
