  1. Do you have a boost gauge, I wouldn't go BPU without one? You might not need a restrictor ring if you're leaving the second cat on the car, the boost you'll reach will also be influenced by the exhaust that you're fitting.
  2. Lovely looking car, the best aftermarket front bumper you can buy in my opinion and nice wheels too. I think we need some more pics.
  3. All diy projects, I don't pay anyone else to do it. Just finished our loft conversion with all new joists, A frame etc, full rewire on my sister's house and I'm going to fit a new central heating systems in my brothers house shortly. I used to ride the bike and was a member of a local club.
  4. It would be nice if he's come back to visit you.

    oem sideskirts

    Drill a hole at each end of the crack to reduce the stress so the crack won't elongate.
  6. The sidelights are incorporated into the indicator units below on the facelift.
  7. Full list price though, which more than likely some fools pay anyway.

    Changing discs?

    Before you put the caliper and pads back on you'll have to push the piston back into the caliper to make way for a wider disc and pads. I normally use a G clamp to push the piston back into the caliper, you can lever them in too but be careful that you don't damage the piston seals. Check the sliders on the J spec caliper to make sure they're okay. Your brake fluid reservoir level will go up aswell so unscrew the cap and make sure it doesn''t overflow, you may have to remove some. You can leave the flexible hose connected but obviously the caliper will still remain attached to the car by the hose, just make sure you don't damage the hose at all.

    Free Stuff

    I can't decide what to get. We should transfer all the credits to one account and then have a draw on here to get something worth having like the Tefal Quick Cup, DAB Radio or the Trevor Baylis Eco Media Player.

    Mclaren f1

    That was my point, I wasn't talking about maximum speeds but acceleration using the gears.

    Mclaren f1

    I don't follow what you mean as you still have variable gearing, the extra torque of diesels makes them better than equivalent petrol models for overtaking with them having superior torque levels.
  15. Good picture. Looks like it could be the retrofit fog light switch which isn't on the Jap spec car in Japan and has to be fitted over here. It should illuminate when you put the fog lights on.
  16. Can't you just design your own, it's not difficult.

    Oops!

    Hope you have a quick recovery so we can see you soon with the red hair. It is, my toes are the same.
  18. I bought a mixer tap for the bathroom last Sunday, the seller started it at 99 pence with no reserve. The minimum price that I saw it advertised elsewhere was £140. I got it for 99 pence, no other bidders. Delivery was only £7.99 which was very reasonable considering it's weight.
  19. I'll ask you a simple question, why do car manufacturers fit steering wheel airbags?
