  1. When the slip light comes on, it means your traction is 'sliping', when the ESP light comes on too, it means that the traction control has kicked in to help out
  2. ...a family of Oompah-Loompahs?
  3. Oh and whatever setup you go for, try to get a setup that has pillowball mounts, so you can adjust the camber according to your ride height.
  4. Welcome to the forum. Personally, I'd stay away from lowering springs only. From my own experience, you'll only wear out the stock shocks faster, because they are manufactured to be used with the factory springs. Sure they will work with lowering springs, but you'll have to change the stock items sooner rather than later due to the usage. Save up your pennies and get either a full suspension setup or coilover system, Tein setups have my seal of approval, had a set of Tein coilovers on my previous car (Honda Prelude 2.2 VTEC JDM)
  5. Wont need to go on the break tester Had my MOT done this month and the MOT tester said thay don't use the brake tester on this car and have to brake test it on the road (forgot why...something about the LSD, not sure....)
  6. Well all ended up ok at least. Congrats on the new car btw. If it was me, I'd have driven the car back to the dealer and tossed the carkeys onto the table demanding the money back, you should see how fast people work after that, lol
  7. Top Secret, Greddy and VeilSide have the same gearknob design it seems....
  8. I've had a Karcher for about 4 years with the vario lance and no problems.
  9. Personally I celebrate both. And most Hong Kong people celebrate both too, as well as the UK born ones
  10. Sounds like a good idea and I'm not on shift that day either. Also a good chance to go thru the Dartford Tunnel on the way back, hehe
  11. Gung Hei fat choi, sun leen fai lock (Yup, chinese myself too)
  12. Famous last words, and of course we're not a bad influence. Yup, my mate and I were washing our Zeds when I caught him saying "I need a new front bumper..."
  13. Hehe, yeah, it's like bragging rights in the US if you can say "I can drive stick..."
  14. Yeah, nice, keep us posted about what Hangar 111 have to say.
  15. So basically, it's a load of cobblers then, thanks martin
  16. May have been me rtbiscuit, if you can confirm a chinese with a big grin behind the wheel, lol My mate is gonna give Nissan in Bury St.Edmunds a try. He too lives in Ipswich and has the dreaded axle clicking prob. After calling Glyn Hopkins Ipswich, they gave him the "Oh, really....never heard of that....lemme check..." bullshit. He then phoned up Nissan Bury St.Edmunds (he works in Bury) and they said "Yeah, we've had one in before and we know what to do" and seemed more helpful in general. I'll see how he gets on with them and might even consider using them myself for servicing if all goes well.
  17. It seems quite believable, especially when people were watching "Gone In Sixty Seconds", (the Nicholas Cage version) But I'm sure that since then, technology has advanced quite abit. I have a Clifford CAT1 alarm on my Honda that was installed 7 years ago, and with every press of the button it changes the frequency it transmits (Clifford called "Anti-Grabbing Technology). I'm pretty sure that nowadays, this sort of tech should be the norm, but of course I can be wrong.
  18. Well, if Nissan fit it, it would be better for re-sale rather than having a non Nissan garage install an engine of unknown origin, whether low mileage or not
  19. I resign myself to praying alot....
  20. I think Jay should redo the whole lot in House Of Kolor Brandy Red...
  21. Well, I had your best interests in mind....hehe
  22. Just done the counterweight removal thing and it's deffo made a difference, my car has ceased to try and eat me. But I'll keep my interest for those replacement struts in the future, possibly get a set after the summer.
  23. If your really bored Jay, smooth the covers over nd then paint them with a carbon fibre effect, lol
  24. Pity you cannot modify the voice itself, imagine the possibilities. Mr.T voice "Who you wanna call, fool?"
  25. From what I know, the lights are like that so you don't shine your light into oncoming drivers faces and blind them.
