  1. I've read many suggestions that the temp should be in the 80s .C mine settles in the 90s under normal driving conditions. at a steady pace on a motorway it will drop to mid 80s. while giving it some, it will soar into 110+ at which point I calm down. my cooler is currently shared with the rad, but think it would be worth getting a stand alone. temps from blitz icolor
  2. not been to a car specific rwyb before, how many runs you reckon can be had of the strip on Saturday?
  3. my profec is set to gain@ 0.92bar. (bpu) I think.. need to double check now..
  4. without looking into it id say RM is your cheapest bet. if they send it as a standard parcel it will cost you £4.41. without an account with a courier firm your looking at their price + vat. (there's no vat with RM.) unfortunately I'd say you'll have to absorb a bit of the cost.

    Bloody buyers!!

    tell us when he plans to visit and we'll arrange a car meet on your road to "greet" him
  6. buy yourself an ultraviolet light from eBay so you can check notes. I always do my dealings at the bank, the cashier checks the notes so no problems.
  7. I'm well disappointed with that website. was anyone expecting something else like I was?

    exhaust stolen

    you'd be surprised it might of been a woman!! I saw a lady in our drive looking for bits of metal. I've noticed a few banged up transit vans driving about with scrap metal in the back.
  9. How do you know that? Is that info available online? Is it Sky that would have sold customer details on? Google is your friend! they'll pretend to be from sky offering you a warranty or something. I know for a fact Sky sell details on, its in their T&C's. sky calls them trusted partners, to Joe public it's just cold callers. Sky aren't the only people who do this, many companies do. never enter your real number on compare websites, you'll be hounded with calls. you can always supply contact numbers after you've purchased insurance etc.
  10. it just means it has Porsche approval. they've tested it themselves and given it the thumbs up. they may have slightly different tread or side wall stiffness, but they'd be very very minor if anything.
  11. does there have to be any music? I like to hear the cars in the videos. hint: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxxwO81J1pI&feature=youtube_gdata_player (hope that's the correct link with no music, I'm at work with no speakers.)
  12. god damn! wish I remembered this. need to put this in the phone calendar.
  13. the reason its silent is probably because they are using a speed dialer or computer. it rings the number in hope there's an operator free to speak to you. regardless of no one says anything after my second hello I hang up. that number belongs to domestic & general. they've probably purchased your details and will try and flog you crap.
  14. tell him to remove his foot from accelerator? seriously though, tps is the first thing that springs to mind. how bad is the reving? what does it go up to? has he changed anything recently? does it happen when its hot only? cold only? need more info..
  15. I've got a 1994 clio, :£550 and its pretty fun to drive. Alternatively a pre 2000 Nissan primera GT would be fun and cheap. a little civic 3dr with the 1.5 engine? I could go on for ages
  16. not surprised you've not had a response. Living inside his wife, I doubt he has space for a pc if he's also managed to cram a parking space in there...
  17. moving house today so doubt I can make it... unless I can sneak past the missus snoring.. how long will people be there till?
  18. BAMS it!(225 1.8T) tried and tested so you won't be lurking into unknown waters.
  19. wish my other half's lab did that!
  20. same night as the bluewater monthly no? oooh the drama!
  21. wow, wish I was there! I was done at lakeside round 9pm (IKEA shopping), saw a load of jap cars parked up figured it was a convoy? hopefully I can make the next one.
