  1. I don't think he's disputing that , just the boring and pointless bit of the programme which demonstrated the fuel efficiency of a Porsche!
  2. Can't you find anything better to spend your money on?
  3. It does because everything is in the title of the thread.
  4. Some of it might be worth watching. Tiff Needell casts his eye over the new Porsche 911 and Olympic swimmer Mark Foster tries out a Vauxhall VXR8.
  5. Good pic, I was going to start a thread this morning. I can see a few of those wide front wings being damaged, it will be interesting to see if the changes to the front and rear wings will increase overtaking. Mclaren unveil their car on Friday.
  6. I couldn't get on them earlier. Site maintenance on a monday morning is odd. There were rumours on another forum that the DSG group would be next to go under.
  7. Sorry to hear that, the punishments just aren't severe enough for scum like this. I'm not sure if I would bother buying new locks all round especially if you've got remote central locking.

    alcantara

    The miracle that is google, search for alcantara fabric. http://www.topgrainhides.co.uk/page11.htm
  9. You'll be okay on the rear as the Uk calipers give loads of clearance.
  10. I always fit both cats just incase as the test results aren't that far away from the limits imposed.
  11. Just the mods and the two parties in dispute can participate in that section.

    Hi there

    Hello Steven. Nice looking Fiesta, has your dad let you have a drive of the Supra on a private road ?

    Warning

    Yes, you've just got to sit it out. I started to feel the symptoms ten days ago and I'm just starting to feel better today. It will help to get rid of a chest infection though, I didn't see the doctor this time but when the doctor came out twelve years ago when I was really ill with the flu he did give me some penicillin.
  15. I would use a thicker material for ulimate sound insulation rather than the aluminium faced dynamat or equivalent stuff on it's own. http://www.dynamat.com/products_automotive_dynaliner.html

    my gtc,s are here

    Very nice. The lips scratch so very easily. I use snow foam, hot soapy water and the hose to rinse before I even touch them with a spongue or brush. I haven't sealed mine with anything, I don't use the car if it's wet or if there's salt on the roads.
  17. Towards the car. Best to lever them off but be careful that you don't damage the plastic scoop with any sharp corners (use a piece of packing).
  18. I used sound insulation felt in the rear internal wheel arches. I just put as much as I could get in and I made sure that there weren't any voids which is very important, a layer in the boot aswell. My brother bought the felt and he can't remember where from, it's like the stuff in the link below. http://merlinmotorsport.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=6072?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Shopping Everywhere under the rear seats and on the arches under the plastic trim I used at least one layer of dynamat, the dynamat is really just to stop resonance on thin metal panels but it's better than using nothing if there isn't enough room for the felt. In hindsight it probably would've been better to lay one complete layer of the felt underneath the whole carpet from the front footwell to the boot and everywhere else if there's room, even under the rear seats too but at the time I wasn't sure if they would go back in with a layer of felt in the way ( I should've tried ).
  19. I'm not surprised that you're confused, the diagrams that Thor produced are terrible.
  20. Did someone remove the spoiler and fill/paint over the holes? Can the position of the holes be located from underneath, I've never removed my spoiler so I don't know?
  21. How embarrasing, the cold wouldn't help.
  22. According to the epc. The auto gearboxes aren't the same. The NA gearbox doesn't have a line pressure control solenoid.
  23. You're fitting the supercharger yourself?
