  1. I best get it sold then! Anything you recommend? Other than the mrp500? Well you need to match it to the sub your getting
  2. errr... can you translate that please bud? Are you saying that AMP is pants? Nothing wrong with it, it's just very weak.
  3. 120wrms? i can fart louder than that. Fi Q is good. Anything by the big boys will be good. Idmax maybe?
  4. you want to be looking for what space the box is internally and then match a sub to that.
  5. no as said, its for jdm's that are triptronic. rocks forward and back for snow and power.
  6. Its toyosport or toyosport's mr grammer nazi. No you saying to someone that he car keeps breaking down cos he put on crappy parts when his orginal exhaust broke. I dont mind if i do buy crappy stuff as I always get it cheap. You say about people turning their zeds into sheds and hanging out with corsas? Just saying stones and glasshouses, and IMO no need for the bad langauge as yes it does wind people up as its being read it comes across as aggressive or being patronising. No offence, but you did. Perhaps you're right. Not everyone will appreciate the running cost of most cars, not just a zed. However, I honestly don't think that not 'maintaining' my exhaust is why the join between the two sections corroded. I would say it was more likely to do with being 6 or 7 years old, the British weather, road salts and it being made from steel. Oh, and I've only owned this zed a few weeks. If the previous owner had cleaned his exhaust more often then I might not be having to deal with this now. Now I come to think of it he did say he was selling it because he couldn't afford to maintain it any more... ...I take back what I said, maybe you were on to something! These thing happen to all cars, I've owned enough (race cars and others) to know this. If I had a Metro or a Masarrati I would still say my mantra 'stupid cars'! I agree that some things are cheap for a reason but I would also call any man a fool who believed just because a product cost him more than another, that automatically makes it better. From what I read about these toyosport exhausts they're good value for money but can require some modification. If you're up for that then a saving of 50% seems like a good idea to me.
  7. h dev for your decats
  8. your full of it? Where do you get off calling people a chav with your stickered up car. patronising much? You think you know it all cos you can quote zmanalex, he probably laughs at you as he counts your money. Do you have a priemum exhaust or are you running a scorpian same price as a k2 which is a toyosport. No offence, but you did. Perhaps you're right.

  9. Icarus has put 2 x 8" mids in boxes I'm sure in the Bose and glove box so rattling shouldn't be too much of a problem. Do you have any idea of amp location?
  10. I agree stealth for the win. I went with the under strut box because of the space. All 3 amps are where the old sub is. I think if you plan everything right you can get it in the orginal location. Obviously a custom made box is needed and a sub that works with about 0.3cuft or less volume in an enclosure that is. IMO IB is only good if you have no other options. Ivr heard some decent IB but they where expensive and a £100 sub and box sounded just as good if not better. As for the plastic rattling try to sound deaden the inside of the bit where the Bose sub goes. But really if you have it in the boot or behind you it will rattle a bit anyway.
  11. I take it you would be running it IB like the bose? If not make a box put a small 8"sub or 10" made for small boxes in and it will sound much better than that £400 one.
  12. Gangsta!!
  13. sell the 350? If your looking at other cars like the boxster then your Z isnt doing it for you is it?
  14. 3.2s or gtfo
  15. I tend to disagree with you here. My car is pinking, whether I use 98ron,95ron any ron. Pinking does not get any better or worse regardless of fuel used. Your car is broken though
  16. Like you say the smaller ones are fine for the nuts to go on but 20mm is quite alot. Maybe it depend on the quality bit on another car I got some 5mm slip ons and it wobbled from every wheel
  17. 2 reasons, 1 they will wobble about Ive personally found slip ons over 3mm make the wheels wobble. 2, if you put a 20mm slip on spacer what would the nuts go on? there wouldnt be much thread keeping your wheel to your car.
  18. That was also funded by tesco so its crazy biased, also im sure they compared it to optimax not v power. i thought it was an independent test done by a tuner. would need to find it to see. The tuner was funded by tesco il look for it later.

  20. Try husky? He can fit some sweet clocks
  21. They do make a difference but for the price of buying and fitting it's not very good £ for £
  22. I thought you had to use mineral oil in rx8's? Glad you got it sorted

    Brakes Upgrade

    that should be more than enough just bide your time. I got brembo front and back discs pads calipers and lines for a little over £800 on here so it can be done. Loads of meat was left on the discs and pads for what I needed them for.
  24. the bushes need to be pressed in by machine but a banana bar removal guide would be good.
  25. I have a 2 way if that's any good? Is that for a 3 way comp set up or sub and comps?
