Hi guys, May be a stupid question but I am hopefully getting some Recaro Pole Positions next week and just wanted to double check where you fit the seatbelt pretensioners with the new subframes? I am going to use alloy sidemounts onto Recaro subframes and am not sure where the seatbelts will...

Had a little blast with my mates E46 M3 at the weekend, they are in a different league to the vee (obviously a 172 cup would have killed both in the twisties tho ;)). Was very impressed with it around contry lanes and struggled to keep up, and I consider myself to be an ok driver but the vee...

Hi, I am after a new headunit and have narrowed it down to my favourite two: Alpine iDA-X001 JVC: KD-AVX2 I have seen good reviews on both but am undecided and have a couple of questions: Would the Alpine work with the standard CD changer under the drivers seat? Which...

Hi, am looking to order a PC soon but has anyone been stung on massive import tax charges? Trying to see if its cheaper to just get a UK spec G220 rather than USA spec PC 7424. I am asking as i brought some trainers last year and had to pay £40 extra on import tax which a shock to say the least...

Hi, I have searched and read numerous threads about Ph1 air intake pipes and am a bit unsure of what to do :dapprove: If i get a BMC CDA induction kit is there any SAMCO or HILLPOWER style pipes that i could get to fit my Ph1? I am fairly handy with the spanners, so am not affraid of some...

Hi, I currently have a ph1 172 with an ITG panel filter but am after a bit of induction noise without having an open filter :) I am not expecting any power gains but just wanted to know if the BMC sounds much better than a standard airbox with ITG filter. I know the Maxogen is the daddy...
