  1. hello and welcome, what is your next mod on your wish list>?
  2. sorry, cage = car. yes he's just down the road from me hmm down the road in an Irish statement meaning loike? that could be on the other side of the country. a
  3. get a second hand d90 for 200-250€
  4. Tell them you have other examples to see first or different cars to test. so off putting the hard sell line so Id tell them to shove it... anyway you don't need to buy after a test and if you feel uncomfortable tell them to sod it. I've given people extended tests of my other car that I'm trying to sell and to be honest the reason I'm doing that is so the person knows what they are buying, mind you they are all friends of friends etc and not complete strangers I bought mine on a online trading site in Japan and had never sat in one before that... (think lucky c*nt I am...) A
  5. sorry, cage = car.
  6. sorry... Eh correct me but are you not in 'utah' / US? Did you ship the cage from the states to here or wha? Reading some forum posts on this about 2 years ago, still to get to the last page
  7. any photos and vids of your actual car? any dyno sheets?
  8. it costs a bit more on the car to make it go quicker then a bike It all depends on what you want done, abbey seems to do a good deal read more here: viewtopic.php?f=114&t=27916 I paid 450€ for a tune that took about 4-5 hours but that was a 'cheap' quote due to very low season over here. Was quoted double that previously. ( ) What bits and bobs have you done to your car? Wouldnt bother tuning it if you've not done something to it. Normal stuff is to get a plenum spacer and a differnent intake and exhaust/cats. A.
  9. Welcome! Was in my mates RX8 and VERY quiet allright with standard stuff running on it. The Z does tend to get a bit loud. Is yours standard exhaust? if it is and you think THATS loud a
  10. Er ok. Just typed in tyre name in google and prices came up at that, not looked into them more. Sod it im selling the car, cant cope, gonna get an mx5, pfft!!!!! what sizes are you running? Found 'my' supplier costing me this: Rear: 235/50/17 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 148.50£ inv vat each, cant get the size on the front for my wheels... next time I need to get a new set of rim's (good excuse) since I can't get my Goodyear F1's anymore in the size I need... a.
  11. Tyre useage will have to decide which one is the 'best' for the Z... so the application rules. for Example you'd use a different set of rubbers for the track then you would for the road. You only use it on dry days? Then that will push you to a certain tyre that performs better then a wet/dry tyre, go for a good wet tyre (soft rubber) and replace it twice as often as another type tyre. If you take her out on the track use a softer compound again. If you into diffen (donuts in a circle...(madness)) you want a sick hard tyre with lots of PSI in'it. If you go drifting you need a good tyre and you'll go through it in no time too... anyhu! I'm not helping here really but more 'opening' your mind to find that it depends if you do loads of miles or if you just use it on occation. If you got a fat wallet and dont mind spending endless ammount of € for the BEST overall tyre... then you are a better man then me A.
  12. must be a mid engine install mod...
  13. Never heard there was an option to rear mount a turbo system... You got some pics of you ride? http://www.ststurbo.com/universal_turbo_systems Who originally installed this for you? Have you dont any other mods on the car, will that engine cope with such high boost levels on standard internals? Gobsmacked at the setup to be honest, not sure how it works etc... would 10psi rear mounted ass turbo be a lower pressure on normally mounted turbo? more info on your ride please. A
  14. EXCELLENT! Hmm think I'll go off and do my ssv plenum install doco now
  15. hmm Id think that brake fluid gets more stress on it then brake fluid on a motorcycle gets on a track so I'd change that after every track day to be honest and also the engine oil, not sure re diff and gearbox.
  16. Im hoping to be finished with the main bits before Christmas but i wont be driving anywhere until February at the earliest.....mainly due to not having any wheels/exhaust system I am hoping to collect these bits the early part of next year you not going to be able to drive it until feb?! That'd kill me! Hmm will be interesting to see what you plan to do, dont dissapoint now
  17. ordered mine from consoleworks... said low stock and now they are 'waiting' for stock!
  18. +1 noticed that when I drove my gf's fig to! ONE time and one time only I had a girl get her window down and shout its a lovely car... obviously not caring about the person in the car at all! So if the car attracts attention its just that... the CAR not the driver
  19. mine still there too....
  20. hmm taking off the wheel, must be a better option then going through the engine bay like I did to get those babes out! They all look in pretty darn good condition though & the Y pipe!. Whats your project time like? (that might give some hint to what you want to do)
  21. whoojawhatnow? ....well my thread deleted the live chat button on the front page...
  22. I deleted a button..
  23. the disc error i think is ok to just clean the lens, I got lens cleaner and stuff and did the necessary operations to open the box and clean it... obviously didnt work. thanks for the forum link they are deadly! A
  24. andlid

    just remember that the sound can be very different in IRL sounding. Specially if its LOUD!
