Cheers Leon.

Will do. I won't have a chance Tuesday or Wednesday but I'll update when it's all sorted.

Awesome product, many thanks Leon!

However, I didn't read the instructions properly so I think I may have turned on the ignition before the car was off for 10 mins.

I think I got the controller plug into old plug for the throttle the wrong way round. I wasn't entirely sure either way was right, so turned on ignition and no power. Re-did the plug and the unit powered up.

Set it up, turned on engine, EML.

Would I be able to simply leave the car overnight for it to delete the code or will I have to disconnect the battery for 10-15 mins?

And if I have to disconnect the battery, do I have to take the controller out of the equation or can I just leave that in situ?

Done!

Get me on the list!

Certainly makes for interesting reading.

Although there are a fair few cars which have failed because of "drivers view of the road". I feel this is a slight injustice to the car because the owner didn't action a stone chip on the windscreen.

4. Now for the tricky bit. Slam your right knee into the padded bit at hard as you can while AT THE SAME TIME swearing at it at the top of your voice for eating your fav CD.

After doing a little more research on the subject, the one I'm angling for is the ARC Titan.

Just not in that colour!

 

I'm planning a more rounded ball top design that i shall be having a go at soon, will let you know how it goes!

No problem chap, I might try a Greddy knob in the meantime.

I'm missing mine, badly.

The week before Christmas upto Boxing day, she wasn't driven.

We had quite alot of snow so I got a lift to work instead of risking getting stuck and risking someone else pranging into my pride and joy.

I used three quarters of a tank in two thawed out dry days over the Christmas holiday just getting reacquainted.

It's snowed again, I've not driven her for 4 or 5 days now.

Do you think you could design a ball gearknob?

Just a standard ball...

I've got a Nismo gearknob at the minute and I can't help but feel that my shifts would be cleaner and more comfortable with just a simple ball,

Just seen this, it sounds like a brilliant product.

Have you got any more in stock?

I'm near Melton Mowbray.

I have a good parcel company I use with work so I'll get a quote from them tomorrow (I'm off ill, man flu). Could you PM me the address they would pick it up from? Well, I need a house number and postcode, that's all really.

Any chance you could give me a rough estimate of weight in KG ish?

If you don't mind wrapping it, that'd be great chap, many thanks.

Good man!

Have you got a price in mind for delivery? I'm in the East Midlands. (I can PM address if you need).

Failing that I have a company which can pick it up for me, I can send down some material to wrap it with if you wouldn't mind wrapping it.

Is the standard backbox still available?

Is the join ok to the flange? Mine has a big weakness there (blowing again!!!)

Good advice here! I feel the bridgestones were fine on wet roundabouts, if you drive like a ****, you`ll soon find out!

I'm on RE050 on the rear and RE050a on the front. I dread to think what 350's are like on RE040's in those slippery situations.

The traction control will keep you out of trouble I would have thought.

When you've had the car a few weeks, on a deserted wet roundabout, whilst going slowly, just jab the throttle in 2nd and you'll see what happens.

Oh and +1 on the petrol station comment. I nipped out in front of a train of cars the other day, waited til the car was straight to start with some throttle, wheel spin, ok, 2nd, wheelspin, crikey, 3rd, wheelspin

All progressive throttling, circa 3,000rpm.

It seemed as my car gained about 400bhp just filling up.

I blame the "must have" mentality of some folk that bow down to debt and don't care how bad it gets, until they are thoroughly in the proverbial.

If you can't afford it, then just don't buy it.

 

It's like when I saw the program on telly called "The Bank Of Mum & Dad", I could have cringed when I saw how bad some kids were in debt.

Mostly because it's so easy to get a credit card or borrow money when banks see that you have enough lifespan left to pay it back.

 

Your missing the point. These loans are not usually for a pair of Moschino jeans or Evisu handbags, they are usually taken out to be able to put food on the table, buy your kid the bike they want for xmas or to pay the rent or face eviction!

+2

The 23and million& APR doesn't look like a great lending rate, but it's because the loan is over such a small amount of time on such a small amount of money.

On a side note of people wanting to get you into dept, I rang my bank to pay a little of my credit card bill.

A total of £617.00 (car insurance) which I whacked on an interest free credit card, I'd pay £200 off a month, saves me paying monthly to Mr. Insurer.

I spoke to a Natwest man on the phone about paying off £200 of it, he said "But sir your minium payment is only £13 (ish), you still have £980 to spend today".

Nice to see Natwest concerned about the young'uns getting into debt.

I'll miss her squeals

Aww they look alright! www.astra-and-action.co.uk

Although I have to be slightly biased. I think it's quite handome with big wheels in a subtle colour.

I now don't really have a problem with heel and toe in the 350.

I used to do in my old Celica and it take a short while to adjust my technique to the 350.

I've only got baby size 7 feet and find it easiest to do it wearing these - http://rallynuts.com/motorsport/SPARCO_ ... s_4559.asp

I can't stand doing it in boots or 'fashion' footwear. It feels clunky and I can't really feel the pedals that well.

I don't do it with the side of my foot, my ankle just pivots from level with the brake pedal to prodding the go faster pedal. Dexterity FTW!

I learnt (I think) from just holding the car on the brake and just 'feeling' the throttle with my heel whilst stationary. I also think it's easier to do at speed, although there being a slight safety issue.

As long as you can quickly work the clutch and get the gear in quickly, whilst heel and toeing, you're sorted. And don't think about it too much whilst doing it, it'll make it a 'do this, then do that, then that' process, whereas, they all kind of overlap each other in a fluid motion.

I'd love to do the same for the future house.

I think I'd scour ebay. The only tricky thing, I'd quite like a 'famous' engine. Like a Rover 3.5 V8, or an RB26 or something along those lines. Just something where the block is quite interesting too.

I think they look alright as standard....

In all fairness, in that little chop, I've moved the rear wheels out a little (badly) and removed the front badge. She's now got some Z badges instead of the normal burger.

I think she's pretty

I have one of these (minus the chrome pipe), it sounds mental when on full chat.

It makes a lovely noise at 2,800rpm and a beautiful noise at anything over 4,000rpm (5,600rpm+ is truley awesome). Any other rpm's and it sounds just normal.

Someone get this bought
