  1. I suppose I could, but.....................I have also kerbed them since too
  2. Remember when I was a little overzealous with wheel cleaner and stripped a top layer off my beloved Volks? If you don't quite remember here's a little reminder... At the time I searched and searched to see if anybody would be able to restore the lips to their former glory, but couldn't find anywhere that could do it, nor anybody that had worked their magic on Volk Wheels before. After doing a little searching recently, I had another look at the PureKLAS website, just to see if any advances were madr in wheel refurb technology. And to my suprise they had, and even better they even refurbed a set of Volk Split Rims http://www.pureklas.co.uk/past-work/vol ... urbishment I know what I am saving for next
  3. I think they are Iriduim plugs (well, I got NGK Iridiums in mine, lol) Magnetic sump plug can catch metal filings in the engine oil and replaces the usual sump plug / bolt, the one you remove to drain the oil from the engine
  4. might add a magnetic sump plug too?
  5. Congrats to whomever just won the eBay bid battle Tried a last second bid but failed, lol
  6. I had my alarm go off a lot once until I noticed a tiny insect inside fluttering about which triggered the alarm, once I shushed it out everything was fine. So perhaps over the winter months something may have gotten inside. Can't hurt to check, and yes it sounds totally silly
  7. Short term fix would be a Band Expander http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FM-Band-expander- ... 3a634a11d1
  8. You could get this to cut down your SIM card http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MICRO-SIM-CARD-CU ... 3364de133c
  9. Great pics Last pic looks like a promo for a future series of Knight Rider

    Going wide

    Madmarky is running a widearch Veilside kit with 20"s EDIT: Sorry was mistaken, he's got the Veilside, but not the wide arch, but does have 20"'s
  11. You could make little flags with forum logo on them and mount them (might be a little confusing tho )
  12. TBH tho, there is a lot worse out there in the motoring world....
  13. Never actually measured it, so it's was a rough guess, so you could well be right
  14. I may be wrong on the flow side of things, but I am just basing my suggestion on my brothers Akrapovic full race exhaust on his bike, with comes with two end cans. One is titanium for road use and has baffles inside, while the race can is basically a straight thru pipe with a bit of baffleing material inside the can wall, you can hold it up and see straight thru the can and the inside diameter is like 2.5". Surely that should be enough, no?
  15. My bro and I went one further many many years ago when we were kids. Used drain pipe, put a rolled out metal scourer on the bottom end to stop the rocket falling out and then mounted the whole thing to cardboard boxes that were made to fit on your forearm Megatron style (yes this was in the 80's )
  16. You could go for like a Moto GP style can, since they are a little shorter, just see if you can see if any salvage yards have any bikes on without exhast damage, might save you some pennies that way
  17. You could do a TVR thing and get like a full Carbon Fibre silencer can off a motorbike exhaust, like an Akropovic Race Can
  18. If you can, when shopping for a new headunit, make the 6-disc changer a lesser priority and go for mp3 player / iPod connectivity instead.
  19. Cy Waits.....until everybody forgets his girlfriends sextape...
  20. Might have to revive an old thread of mine, lol viewtopic.php?f=34&t=21516
  21. are they quite quiet or quiet quiet? alright i'm special; the qu words are some of the ones i struggle with most to write. if someone else wants to put what i said into english i won't take offence vredestein ultrac sessantas are fairly quiet and within your price range. vredestein ultrac sessantas are relatively quiet and within your price range. vredestein ultrac sessantas are reasonably quiet and within your price range. vredestein ultrac sessantas are, compared to the Bridgestone RE040's and other brands like Nankang, comparatively quiet, due to a softer compound being used and thanks to extensive reasearch and tread design, and within your price range.
  22. Apart from that, you could add sound deadening material in the boot area, or even just thicker mats and a tonneau cover.
  23. Welcome first of all Only time I hear i high pitched noise when locking is when the tailgate is open and the doors are shut About the handbrake, if you remove the ashtray, you should see the adjuster bolt and nut, but if that has been tightened up the the max, then it's a rear wheels off job and adjust from there (the Zed has a drum/disc combo at the rear)
  24. Sweet, let me know how he gets on with that Might be a while, cos there are other bits to go under the bonnet first, among them a supercharger.
