putting bends in a CAF reduces air flow, as will corrigated tubing, will need to be completely smooth on the inside to eraly benefit. so connecting it straight onto the filter will possibly reduce power, as mine did with the CAF from foglight straight onto my V6 airbox. better off directing the...

No RR figures but pulled much harder than before it was fitted. pulled away from all other valvers at the time. IIRC didn't the mess about with the fuel pressure of the 16v cup cars???

Is there much space with the simota to feed air to other than directly infront, it's been a while since I've one

Search through the posts on how people have fed it up from the lower grille or foglight up towards the battery/ headlight area. IMO you're probably better off making some sort of heat shield from the engine first.

made a difference on older engines but not really worth it with a newer engine. Gave a decent increase on the vauxhall C20XE/LET lumps and a friends valver.

Thanks for that Danny, just what I was looking for. Piper it is.

Re-viving an old thread again. Is the CAT join reduced to fit standard or is it full 2.5" so will require the cat join cutting off and enlarging to a straight through pipe? It's a little hard to tell from the pics I've seen

I've fitted the pioneer OE replacement speakers in the front and so fair I'm pleased with them, the OE head unit seems ok for them also. Interested in these Alpine head units also......

You can just about force the OE tweeters out without removing the dash top, I did it a month ago. Twist off the grilles and pop them out of there holders, then I used a couple of narrow screwdrivers to prise them into position and out through the top.

My method of detail is 2BM, clay, de tar, rinse, dry, SRP, EGP, and either AG HD wax or colli 476s depending on whether were heading into summer or winter. As you say SRP is a filler so probably don't need to use this as it doesn't hide any marks for more than a few weeks (although the car...

So would I use Lime Prime instead of both SRP and EGP? My cars never had any paint correction, and I admit there are the odd swirls here and there, but I've only ever detailed by hand as would not want to risk it myself using a DA and damaging the LY.

What is the Lime Prime and other cleansers all about??? I'm still using the SRP and EGP to seal then waxing to protect when detailing, with interval washes occasionally laying on another coat of wax. where would I use it as I've considered the auto glym cleanser kit

Saw an 09 plate AG 200 with anthracite pack along the A12 and followed me into Colchester this morning with a female driver

I've had the LY 182 from new for almost 5 years. Never thought how long I'd be keeping it for, but TBH there is nothing out there at the moment that I'd consider changing it for other than an R26 but simply can't afford it. So for now I'm planning on keeping it till it eventually dies, or the...

Are there any problems with scratched paintwork with the Thule system?

The central nut holds the top mount onto the strut and keeps the spring in place. It is NOTHING to do with removing the strut from the car. This is the big lock ring round the outside that you need the C spanner for. Some people thought it wise to use locktite on the threads so this may be the...

Made a lovely job of all my carbon parts

Welcome. If your from Colchester you might have seen me about as I work in colchester and I'm driving around every morning. getting quite a collection of Essex members now

take off wheel unbolt strut from hub remove the large lock ring with the c spanner from the top mount remove strut from car fit spring clamps remove central 1" dia nut (air gun probably needed, did for mine) remove top mount remove spacers you'll then be left with the strut, spring and spring...

it is to do with the car being a bright colour, but once it starts to get the smell of wax etc they seem to be attracted to it less than when it's freshly washed is what I was trying to say.

Keep us posted on this, Is it every last Sat of the month. Will try and head down next time.

I'd considor a collectors car as something to be pampered and kept in a garage and never used in bad weather. Fitting a roll cage, semi slicks etc etc would lean more towards pure enthusiasts wanting a track weapon IMO. As for the OP, if money is that comfy at the moment trade in for a 250...

I have the same problem, being LY they swarm it in the nice weather. I just blow them off before wiping or applying anything over it. Once you start to get something on there they generally are attracted to it less. Must be the smells of the polish/ wax's

I wash, clay, tar remover, SRP, EGP, then wax with HD wax 2 - 3 times a year. wash regularly, detailing spray, maybe another coat of wax couple of times a month. Check the guide to detailing thread in the sticky'd section.

SRP is a polish, supposedly it lightly fills any swirls but offers no protection. after SRP it's best to use the auto glym extra gloss protection to seal the paint and then use a wax such as the dodo juice or auto glym HD wax to protect the finish. once that's done regular plain washing and...

Love juice??? SN??? Whats that short for

I often see a woman driving a Y 200 along the A120 going to and from Colchester direction

All the meets lately are organised on days I can't make. I'm away 3rd to 9th July, otherwise I'd drop by

Went in there today and parked next to a blue 197 and a silver Ph1 172 with clio 16v turbines. Couldn't see any CS stickers though
