  1. slated? You dont have a rev up. The mrev 2 is more similar to the DE lower plenum anyway. I dont think anyone on here will give you bad advice.

    ITS ON!!....

    I would personally say get a HR as then it address your concerns over the fuel usage( ). A hr will cost you the same a month as they are the same on fuel, tyres and all sorts.
  3. If its the 2006 model wouldnt it be more to do with the oval cylinders and high oil usage rather than 95ron a few times.
  4. Sorry, but Mercs leave me cold. AMGs are also a bit chavvy. And hasn't the SL500 finished bottom of the JD Power survery every year, for the last ten years? Just lol.

    If your buying a hr dont worry about it. If your buying a DE you most likely will be fine but if not maybe buy from a member
  6. Sl55 Amg. Comfy. Fast. 1-2k will see you 600bhp.
  7. You could be right but it your on a long sweeping corner I'm sure you have more grip acceleration steadily or staying at the same speed. If you put the clutch in it feels like you have less grip. As long as the wheels are in contact with the ground you will have grip. Grip is simply the friction generate by the tyre and the ground. This is determined by things like tyre compunction, temperature, road surface. You loss grip is the rotational force of the tyre is more than the friction been generated (wheel spin). You get liftoff oversteer in FWD cars because when you take the power off the front wheels all of a sudden gain MORE grip because they no longer have to accelerate. If the grip available to the front tyres is now more than that of rear tyres the car will oversteer. Than there's obviously wait transfer, which changes alot especially when you have 500bhp. Taking the foot off the accelerator can shift the weight off rear tyres which in turn can REDUCE grip. But they will still generate grip just relatively less. Am sure some one doing physics can correct me in much geared detail...I took one look at a mechanical engineering degree, saw the words Fluid dynamics and decided it sounded too hard so did something easier instead
  8. You smash a pedal on a high powered 4wd mid corner and steering wheel turned it will oversteer. Then you let off the pedal and you don't have the 4wd grip. You only have that grip if there is power going through the wheels.
  9. If you dont mind me asking roughly how much did it set you back. I need to replace my plastic one.
  10. I've had one or 2 declined as sometimes you cant see the writing with the flash and once when it was on my car with my plate and attached video but no paper. A mod copy and pasted the text to me in a pm to save me retyping it
  11. "brake" Bad spelling on that site Interesting! Keep me updated
  12. Sikky (I think) has a off the shelf conversion kit.
  13. About 1/2 to 3/4's of a tank depending on roads and they way you drive.
  14. There is a guy with a ls2 turbo I think and he cant use more than 1/2 throttle due to traction. Sometimes I think people get caught up chasing numbers.
  15. Thank you very much. Il check then fans our.
  16. I'm needing some help please. I need 2 or 3 12v pc fans for cooling a control unit. Its not in a pc and I cant get a normal pc powersupply to it. Nerdy bit... Now I need a high cfm fan. I used to have a delta fan and it was awesome! On full blast it would cool my pc down great. ( I needed a good fan as my old case was rubbish) But now there are pretty expensive and the Scythe Gentle Typhoon's seem to be the high cfm fans of choice now. Are they any higher cfm cheaper fans out there? I also need a fan conrtoller as sometimes the control boxes wont be used and I would like to be able to control how fast the fans are going as I intend to get the 5450rpm model . Also I cant remember how it works do the fans plug into the fan controller and that dishes out the power or do they plug into the fan controller but you put something else on the wire so it plugs into the fan controller and it gets power from a molex adapter. Non nerdy bit... So how can I wire up a fan controller and 2/3 fans with no pc power supply unit. There is already 1 ebm papst fan in it so I'm sure it can be done. The ebm papst fan is very far away from where the other fans need to go btw.
  17. Maybe they arent plugged in? CS pm Mitz, he is in Leicester (i think) but if I was down the thats the only guy I'd let near my car.
  18. Thats to use your brake pedal for maps. All switching I have seen is with cruise control buttons.
  19. I tried search ''up-rev'' ?? Nowt....lol I was thinking more along the lines of ... Differences between the programs the user selects through using Cruise button.. Im told you can select different throttle maps for the auto's...? The auto already had different throttle maps, snow, normal and power. I assumed most auto's didnt have cruise control but I could be wrong. Yes i think your right.. If no cruise control then use the brake pedal instead to tap thro maps.... You have a link to this? I've not heard of that personally?

  21. Delete this post before Lexx finds you and rips your head off and sticks it on the front page with a note saying beware of people who dont use the search. Its a software that allows your car to be remapped. The 350z with bolt on parts will not gain much power. It has to be remapped for all the gains to be made, Uprev.
  22. Old, repost and in wrong area.
  23. Cardboard?
