the mytyres ratings are just from other places though. the best rating is the one that gives you marks out of 5 for all the different aspects of the tyre, but when i looked up how those are calculated its just from a database of people in germany saying what they thought of the tyres. so you...

if youre going standalone then have a look at the VEMS management system. its loads cheaper than the likes of Emerald, and has far more features. its a superb bit of kit for the money and ideal for DIY TB's

well if you can get to the alternator belt, then just try turning the alternator pulley round! its driven off the cambelt, so if the belt is snapped it will be really easy to move, if the cambelt isnt snapped it should be just about impossible to turn it by hand how hard is it to remove the...

its not the pistons youre so worried about damaging as the valves! pistons are solid lumps of metal, and turning over wont damage them. the valves are thin and softer, and bend very easily, and theres 16 of them to replace if theyre damaged lol. they can then damage the pistons, but when youre...

it depends on the rollers as much as it does the car, as said in a thread not so long ago by Andy from GDI, the place they use has an engine dyno AND rollers, and from the measurements taken on the dyno and then on the rollers with the same engine they have a fixed amount/percentage they use, as...

unless youve got a knock sensor in which case the ECU will adjust itself for higher octane fuel and advance the ignition timing. otherwise it is pointless and will lose power rather than gain it since it burns slower (were talking tiny differences, but a difference all the same)

a) a little, but it wont be a roaring noise like you can get with an open kit b) just locate the pipe somewhere in or behind the front bumper/slam panel. some people remove foglights and the like to fit it, but you can just as easily find a gap somewhere and cable tie it, so long as its...

open induction kits are the spawn of the devil! cold air feeds are pointless. the filter is open, sat somewhere in the middle of a very hot engine bay. youve got all that filter exposed and a tiny little tube providing cold air, wheres the filter gonna draw all its air from? all around it...

what about the cooking, and waterfall incidents?

damn i read MK2 as MR2 haha, i almost posted a long-ass reply as well, DOH! i need more sleep....

i expect it uses a std fram underneath the carbon, and seeing as the fram makes up most of the weight of the std bonnet i expect the weight saving is minimal you need one with either no frame but a few supports, or a carbon frame, alternatively you can get frameless fibreglass bonnets which...

if you get pulled by a roadside emissions test unit tho, and you fail on emissions, you get a £50 on the spot fine and i bet you that no coppers can tell if you have a cat or not if you put the cat guard back on over the de-cat pipe, and they cant do f**k all about it if you havent got one lol

cos they only rev to about 4k rpm!

id have driven forward, given it full left lock, and run the cúnt over!! whats a damaged rear bumper when you get the satisfaction of wiping out another pikey :D then you couldve ravaged his pockets and stolen all his cash and cards to pay for your damage anyways hehe

is that the latest picture of your car you got ben? looks like its had a respray ;)

women drivers are the worse lol! if only they knew how to use a clutch:sick:

well it wont do any harm, and it will probably make the throttle a little more responsive if you ever find out how to fit it....whack it on and see, nowt to lose :)

the FSE is a rising rate regular, e.g. it is dependant upon manifold vacuum as to how far it opens. this is why its better on turbo applications it will work, why exactly youd want one i dont know, its £90 i could spend more wisely for you on your car lol dont expect the world from it when...

ask ben_j, he got a quote for one i think, and he knows a comapny who do it bout £7k i think he said!!!!

id rather have Kumhos, theyre in the same price bracket

yeh that group buy is still running, and still in need of more people, which reminds me i should probably update every1 soon and make sure theyre all still interested

we have 7 definites again after a few dropped out first time round, so basically im gonna give it another week to get 3 more ppl! in the event we dont get another 3, then we drop down a discount level, and it will become about £35 more expensive per kit :( but id still be interested in running...

its not hard to re-wire a switch, where is the switch located? on top of the steering column? on teh dash? just figure out how to remove it, turn the ignition on and use a voltmeter to work out which is the live wire, and then cut it, obv turn ignition off first. now wrap the end in masking...

spax are brilliant!

yup :D

as many as possible!! to make 10 i need 4 more, but if i can get more than 10 theres less chance of having to delay the deal from ppl pulling out also we mite even get some further discount with extra ppl

power will increase depending on the jets fitted, anything from 25bhp to 100bhp, im not sure on the most you can do on a 1.4 tho 0-60 time is impossible to guess, it will be significantly quicker tho lol

i have no idea on fitting prices, and they vary greatly between places go to http://www.noswizard.com/agents.phphttp://www.noswizard.com/agents.php and select your region and find the nearest ones, and ring them up and ask they will give you a fitting price over the fone, it cant take more...

bttt

so what? the "experts" have opinions like every1 else its not a supercar, and wether you like it or not, its an opinion! ive never driven one, i dont know if id like it or not, but i know that everything in cars is an opinion or a preference, thus your entire argument in this thread is biassed...
