  1. Rtbiscuit has a special on vinyl at the moment. It's Hexxis stuff aswell that's the best
  2. I used engine flush on my 172 at 80k and it seemed fine still going now. Would I use it on my dads 160k mile merc probably not. IMO the safest way is to drop the oil change the filter then put a cheap decent oil in like unipart or comma then drive it for 20-50 miles then drop it whilst it's still warm. When it starts to dribble out pour more oil in the top to drag more dirty oil out.
  3. Isnt the blitz there at the bottom. Dont mean to be picky but there is a typo it should be 5zigen no? *ahem* nobody took notice last time

  5. IMO PIAA wipers are a rip. Your paying through the nose for not great protection. IMO clay your screen or use glass cutter, then clean it with something good like nilglass. Then put on rainx or G1. Much much better than the piaa ones and half the price, also use the a decent screen wash and your sorted. But some people like PIAA.
  6. HKS would be in the upper budget? If its a replica then in the lower budget as it comes with Y pipe aswell.
  7. Im in Dundee, Scotland postage shouldn't be top much of a problem though.
  8. have you ever driven a porsche? Also the zed is horrible out of the box, I was close to selling it as it had no feeling. Also the z makes a nice noise but it doesn't have charector like my 172. The GT or GT3RS - then for sure I'd like a Porsche - but only for messing around in. I wouldn't want to drive one to work?! It has no character. Although, I quite like the Cayman S - nice looking

  10. some pics forgot to add them
  11. Hi I have here for sale my exhaust system which is a Japspeed k2, Japspeed Y pipe and some Kinectz hi flow cats. The only reason Im changing is for something louder and I may well regret that but Il never know if I don’t try. Pics don’t have my name on them as I was by myself and it was bloody windy but the videos show its 100% me. I have had the exhaust system on my car for about 18months now. It sounds spot on IMO. It’s what the car SHOULD have sounded like when it was stock. The K2 really is a great sounding system. Its drone free and it sounds amazing when giving it some. Honestly If I drive around people look and stare but not like look at the chav but more like wow that sounds great. Honestly is an amazing exhaust its not boomy at motorway speeds and sounds very nice and tuneful at higher revs. Its not just “loud†or boomy its nice sounding . I never really heard what difference a Y pipe made as it was fitted at the same time and I know you need to get it mapped for full effect but the car honestly felt more responsive. The Hi flow cats are great as they don’t turn on the CEL and they are legal yet they are still pretty free flowing and give a good noise. The tips are really shiny and look really purposeful on the car. The exhaust is still on my car so it would be a week or two before I could send it. Videos don’t actually do it justice but if your in Scotland and close to Dundee I’d be happy to show you and I’m up in Angus way most days so you could meet me there. If you want more pics I could take more but it would be in the dark Here is the pics it wont let me direct link until I sign in exhaust pics the videos where taken by my freind and I drive like a granny so no speed limits where broke or dangerous driving took place. Also my stereo was on 1 (not bose) so was on really quiet. Took it on my iphone so should be in 720p HD! I ideally want to sell the exhaust and Ypipe together, and would prefer pick up but postage could be arranged. Id be looking at £300 for both which is about £200 off their price new. For the high flow cats Id be looking about £250. If you want to offer me for anything please PM me. i have just bought some decats but will be about a week before I get them fitted Any questions please just PM me. Cheers
  12. +1 the roof look awesome. Is that matt or a gloss?

    there is a guy selling some 19" te37s for 1k il send you the link if you want?
  14. would you not be better off getting them ultrasonically cleaned and pulsed?
  15. well sounds like the hair dresser brother has the better car than you You looked into servicing of the mazzers? A guy I know was so close to buying one until he looked at servicing and realised he coundt actually afford it. Something to look out for Not saying you cant afford it but its a surprise cost like a gtr.
  16. 3.4 boxster?
  17. Usually the more modded the car the less Market your selling to. I agree about stripping it but that also costs money. Did you paint the bodykit? As that's a bit of money to paint it. It's worth a decent amount to someone in the know but to an average guy they have no clue.
  18. I think it would be better for the large flat bits but you probably would need a drill and dremel aswell for the other bits.
  19. I think I can use the G220 for the finer polishing but the plenum needs de-burring with wire drill bits first (I think )..........I'm only looking for tidied up clean anyways so I might have a crack next weekend for a day. a g220 is just a random orbital sander you get sanding pads for it and in all grits. I didn't know you could get sanding pads for it! Presumably I'd need a different backing plate would I? depends you can get some abralon pads which work on velcro for other sanding pads you may need a different plate.
  20. alot of attention on the engine is nice

  22. could you not use a g220 or a das6?
  23. Nice Needs spacers though
  24. +1 I hate when i get in the 172 and look like a spaz trying to indicate or flash someone. Really as the Japanese drive on the right JDM cars have the stalks in the proper place where as most other cars get made on the otherside and dont bother to change the stalks.
