    Spacer bolts

    Try CS he can get them
  2. Remoulds are different to part worns though.
  3. Does everything go through EP racing? as Rik does a do luck kit which is priced resonabily. Busters fit looks spot on but Im not sure about the do luck. Otherwise EP racing it is for a v1 or a v2 but I wanted something different for a resonable price.
  4. Glad your ok, hope you get it fixed easily and cheaply.
  5. Im not sure on 07 plates but generally its in the middle leaning to soft IMO. no way like the 350 but no way like my bro's boxster.
  6. +1. Also not all bmw drivers are bad just most people who driver crap cars are fools. Like Im driving my 350z at 70mph and some idiot overtakes me in a volvo or a saab then slows down in front of me. Its like look I overtook you. So annoying its like I overtook a sensible driver who was doing 70mph but my car must be faster than his sports car as if you have a sports car you have to bouncing off the limiter in 5th! Also anyone who has driven a bmw on the motorway knows why they all speed. No joke 70mph feels like 40mph. Lovely cars e39 m5 slammed, onyx black and black tints I'd be flossing!
  7. Love it, Im in 2 minds now if Riks stuff is decent I might get a do luck bodykit.
  8. Most likely the yellow RCA type cable most screens accept. Your slightly wrong about dvi being digital Chris ( a bit anal yes but important to this subject.) dvi D is digital and can be used as a dvi d cable to hdmi. Hdmi is dvi d (digital) but it also carries sound and can conform to hdcp. Dvi d is usually pins then a cross. Any dvi d card can usually output as dvi a(analog). Pins then a line. You can a much better chance of something taking an analogue signal in car. Dvi a will connect to a d sub device aswell. So you could have dvi a to yellow or dvi a to d sub to yellow.
  9. I'm not sure but if it's a DVi d then can you not put out a dvi a signal and that to a 3.5 av. Will the resolution not be rubbish?
  10. probably, same on my 172 not to be touched until 150k miles
  11. Congrats, although I always thought you was for some reason?
  12. I agree hence the 100w bulbs, the 172 has xenons which are a million times better than the 350z's but when people are driving towards you with their beams on 1 flash of these lights and they switch their beams off straight away. I flashed police with the lights (to let them past/through) and they never pulled me or said anything but thats cos they hi beam and not dipped. Stupid crappy cheap badly fitted misaligned retro fitted hid's pee me off the most.
  13. Exactly mate IMO if you want an out in out sports car then a manual or maybe not a 350, but if your stuck in traffic and its your daily driver that 0.5 second slower on the upshift wont bother you. I love the auto as its just a joy to drive daily. I would probably get annoyed with a manual when im coming home tired. Its also abit point and squirt which is nice.
  14. Disagree not just because I have a trip. The zed is lovely auto as if your using it as the daily it's perfect. The low down grunt means it's effortless and when you want to make progress sport mode is great. Boot the accelerator and away you go. I say the large torque zed is ideal for a sports auto then say an s2k. The s2k would make an awful auto as it comes alive much higher up(honestly not a dig rich) just the nature of the beast. That's why the s2k is very involving I suppose. The triptronic is also great when your on the b roads or on track. Flick it to go up or down and it's sequential once you get used to it, it's great.
  15. I know it's not the same but I have 100w h7 high beams in my 172 and there is no problem after long use.
  16. No fuel filter in the 350
  17. Well rb26's are decent and im sure you know can run big power but it costs abit to get them running realiably at that power. 2jz's are wicked and can handle about 800-1200bhp on standard internals, but they are heavy and expensive to buy and converting to a single turbo isnt that cheap. LS2 is a good shout if you want to stay n/a with the possiblity of going FI in the future. All depends what you want the car for
  18. Any reason to use a sr20 when surely an rb25/26 would fit, or do you have more experiance on the sr20's?
  19. They are a bit of a pain to fit, cutting and so on and Coops couldnt get the fit perfect. So I think he gave up on them.
  20. +1 ATE is pretty good stuff.
  21. +1 usually the adapters look like spacers with a different bolt pattern. I looked at them as I wanted M3 CSL wheels on my car. The adapters usually are 20mm to clear the oem bolts so it brings the offsets down.
  22. *Boxster Wouldn't have worked with a 911, engine is in the wrong place. Like the numerous MR2 Ferrari/Lambo replicas, I can appreciate them for their immense craftsmanship but the second you put the actual badges on there it drops straight into the 'Trying Too Hard' pile for me. Leave the original Toyota (or in this case Porsche) badges on there and it's actually quite a comedic little thing. Did you try the boxster before the 911? There are some people with mad speced 987's touching 50 odd k swearing they are much better than a 911. Also people have put the c2s engine in the boxster and say the chasis handles it better than the 911
  23. highly unlikely he knows me and even if he does - completely different departments from a different base location - Fife council is HUGE Cor you lot are such a load of conspiracy theorists Ahh I didnt know you worked for fife council lol , thats my advise out of the window . Best bet would be to try and get it sorted internaly.
  24. Big thaw here, last week was -14 and an average of -7 and now its +7 wth? Some huge potholes have sprung up.
  25. Its cold, car might not reach optimal temp so be pumping more fuel in. Also a car uses about 7% more fuel at 0c then at 10c.
