  1. Fair enough I thought as much Driving a SC directly would still be more efficient than making electric. As the video said moving air isn't hard buy compressing it is. Maybe strap some wind turbines on the faster you go the more boost you get!

    Blowout....

    That road sucks, there is potholes and crap on that road all the time.

    Thats sucks. Glad your ok though, just north of me. get the model name of the tyres or take a picture and put it up on here. It will most likely be fk452 or zeix912. I would personally just replace the one providing they are new but im sure SOMEONE might disagree
  4. Black bars? Thanks, it's getting there, Wana do some thing with The head lights maybe slightly tiny them. Might be my pc but above and below your picture are black bars.
  5. Imagine the hyper inflation that would cause when it costs £200 for a loaf of bread. The road tax needs to tax everyone even if they dont drive 1 mile. Imagine all the commuters etc out of a job. Post would go bankrupt, food supplies would stop and it would stifle our freedom.
  6. Its funny cos I just saw a picture with a sheet of metal costing £412.96. Its funny because it was in the basket.
  7. The black bars look abit weird but your car looks awesome!
  8. I heard he was running mixed tyres too
  9. Theoretically no because the ecu will adapt to the new airflow and cancel out potential gains (apparently.....it's all voodoo me) Get all your mods done first then get a remap for best gains. You need a plenum spacer for best gains out of the remap - in fact best gains outside of FI. I would say manifolds are best gainers but £ for £ plenum is good.
  10. Halfords test station in my city is still the same staff as the old garage before Halfords took over. Good staff.
  11. The best thing for that will be conductive paint, paint that lets electric through. Are you sure its that that is the problem.
  12. Phil,who the F is Phil? Ermm As Ricey said. But with a cotton/foam filter it can be washed and reused rather than just binning so it can save you money in the long run ( depending how much an air filter is )
  13. Do m3's have lsd's?
  14. 2 different things there. Pop charger for noise but generally panel filters are supposed to be best for gains, although more flow means less filtration.
  15. Never had this problem. Check connection again and see if anything is rubbing against it?
  16. The rolling road for testing brakes can damage the diff.
  17. Just check the vin on the back of the engine. The JDM's start with Z33-
  18. Scary
  19. If a someone made a supercharger and the power was supplied via electric to an electric motor which spun the supercharger ( rpm dependent) then surely that would work? Why do they not do this e.g. too much electric needed or another reason. Surely they must be getting more efficient as power steering is now electric? Or are we still way off.
  20. I need to watch this
  21. Teddy bears are big in the vw scene.
  22. Yes, I often look at cars price up mods and get all excited but TBH when the sun is out and I take the Z out for a drive I just love it again.
  23. Rubbish, there are very unstressed engines. They are very economic also as upto 30-31mpg can be had. Check for rust. Check the once warm/hot the gearbox kickdowns easily. Check the sport mode and it should kick down quicker. Test the triptronic ( faux manual and make sure it goes into each gear). Beeping in reverse is normal they are NOT parking sensors I cant see which car it is does it have brembos? Check the cd player as it will probably skip. See if it has folding mirrors when locking and tilting mirrors when reversing. The car will most likely be silent but this is the way JDM's came. Roof etc needs to be checked. windows should go up and down fine on passenger and drivers side. Anything else just let me know
