I was under the impression that they only pour a small percentage of what they raise from Road Tax Vehicle Excise Duty back into the roads...spending the rest on non-motoring stuff.

Cheers

Congratulations to your and your missus Muffleman

Thanks for the information Gareth - greatly appreciated. I didnt realise your from Wigan, Im from St.Helens - home of the super league champions

I have a code 42 error im trying to track down at the moment. My MIL light comes on at 60mph, regardless of revs/boost. I have an active spoiler but its unplugged @ the AS ECU. I've just wired in a replacement speed converter and still get code 42 @ 60mph. My Odometer still increments the miles, so does this mean the speed sensor is OK and that the most likely culprit is the Odometer circuitry? If thats the case I'll just see if JezzyBabes has a spare Odometer lying about. Cheers Simon

Learn to park

In my case it wasnt, since my boost gauge is located on my A-Pillar. If your mounting yours in place of the clock, I wouldnt imagine it being a problem as long as you have enough length.

I ran mine through the drivers side wing into the drivers footwell near the fusebox....saves drilling holes into the firewall or butchering existing ones.

MrSupra, Your tweaks probably better than Fasterfox ...but I've read that Fasterfox also put extra strain on the servers you visit.

Isnt that basically what the FasterFox extension for Firefox does?

Sorry for going slightly off-topic and hijacking the thread.... Garetheves: Are you familiar with 'shin splints' in your line of work? I play alot of basketball and football and have the symptons of 'medial tibial stress syndrome' (MTSS). Would the above be applicable to shin splints too? ...sounds like it would but thought Id ask I've tried the RICE method, used heat rubs, compression bandages, arch supports...I still get shin splints within a couple weeks of training after the symptons have gone. Cheers Simon

Fuses are in drivers footwell. If you have the fuse cover, there will be a diagram on the inside showing the relevant fuses. I was under the impression that the Cig lighter doesnt run on a 10amp fused circuit - making it not suitable for the AEM which requires a 10amp fused circuit. I have a 95 JDM Supra, not sure if the wiring will be different, but the ignition live on the Odometer plug was top left as you look at the plug (pretty sure its a yellow wire - see pic below). You can test using a multimeter or one of those gadgets that lights a bulb when a circuit has power (can't remember the official name for them lol). If your unsure of doing it yourself, get a qualified automotive electrician to wire it all up for you - save your car going up in flames should you get it wrong

For my Blitz MD gauges I took power from the radio loom, and for my AEM A/F gauge I used the Ignition live from the Odometer plug (since it was on a 10amp fuse as recommended in the AEM instructions)

Saw a spoilerless one today, looked crap IMO.

Probably a composite flywheel made from the trimmings of Chuck Norris's beard!

LMAO Bromy I like this bit of the ad: forgot to add..."once you and your partner have climbed through the rollcage into the seats"

Heres more info on the gold 1996 R34 GT-R face lift Stagea 260RS RB26DETT wagon in the initial post: :: http://www.monkys.jp/e/ucar/WGNC24R34.htm

Do dodgy plugs cause the MIL light to come on?

I have these alloys on my car (so does Peter Richards)...and they really suit it IMO, plus they also have the correct offset so theres no messing about. Just thought I'd add that you can buy TTE center caps (TTE make the alloys) to replace the Lexus ones. You can purchase them directly from TTE (http://www.tte.de). The Part No is AM27533. They are (or where when I purchased mine) 16.57 Euro each. My contact @ TTE was: Florian Bachus Email: [email protected] Tel: +49-(0)2234-1823691 Fax: +49-(0)2234-182332

I have the HKS Superdrager on mine (mild steel one), I coated the mild steel section in high temp paint to give it some more protection against the elements (no one will know until its on ramps or Ive driven over them lol). The clearance is good, but I found that with the 2 cats inplace (for my MOT) the exhaust did knock against the underside of the car, however having removed them with 2 decat pipes the knocking has stopped. The backbox is 28 inches in circumference (bloody big!)...but never had problems with speed bumps. Takes a while to polish the backbox mind you If you win the lotto, get an Amuse exhaust from Envy...I hear they're the nuts

I can confirm, using my vast experience of GTR 2 for the PC, that the Saleen is a right handful in the wet Thank god I can hit the restart button when I total it

lol Nic: What would the delivery time be on those wiper arms out of curiousity? Cheers Simon

Is it just me, or are the springs in the metal arms of the wipers very weak, therefore putting little pressure on the wipers as they clear the screen?

correct. Unfortunately that would not fulfill the full 3000 words required for the essay to pass. ... He could have padded it with some more "shits" thrown in for good measure to make up the 3000 words I did a degree at Uni, then did a HND at College....and I paid my way through by working in a call centre no less lol (BT Chargecard Support Dept).

lol @ speed camera The clearance on my superdragger is good, not had any issues with speed bumps which is suprising as the backbox is 28 inches in circumference! I did notice that when I had both cats in (for my MOT) the exhaust did knock against the underside of the car at the rear, however since putting the double decats back on it no longer happens.
