  4. buy a boxster! Test drive to see which one you perfer. Buying a car is a personal choice.
  5. Im not sure about the 350's gearbox but the 172 gearbox hates to be rushed into gear and a short shifter kills the box quickly. But on somecars they work great.

    Which pads?

    Was you on cliosport.net? The oem on the clio are just generally good pads. I have never used OEM pads that are that good. Pagid blues are good and so are the carbon lorraines. Usually with such harsh pads espcially the latter if used on standard discs they will kill them and even spark, so most people get Brembo High Carbon. I think the weight behind the 350 makes the brakes feel sloppy and need to be upgraded alot. My brothers boxster has similar brakes on his car but they stop alot quick and with less drama due to less weight.
  14. there is no way a car would come out this year or in the next 5 with pop up headlights.
  15. Im sure Zmanalex had the wheels at the bottom for a very very good price. That was a while back though.

    Which pads?

    Just for your information DS3000's are not meant for the road, they are meant for high operating temperatures and have a fairly high wear rate hence the serious amount of dust. I am aware of the track only status of ds3000 pads. My mate is an extreme type of person who demands pads which can take high temperatures while driving to work/ shops/ on track. Even so, I dont think he would go ds3000 again. He must drive crazy if he can get them upto temp on the road.

    Which pads?

    IMO yellowstuff are pretty good. DS3000 are pretty much track pads.
  18. A boxster 986 or a boxster 986 with a 3.8 911 engine
  19. Ikarus thats sweet. When you making some a pillars for me? Nice install though alot of work has gone into aiming.

    Black alloy wheels

    Shaun1982 has some black rota's
  21. Talk audio, just pm loudboy and tell him dblock sent you
  22. Yes and kinda. There are cheaper things out there which do a better job. Its kinda heavy. Sound deadening needs mass for it to work. On my clio I had 4mm loudboy stuff that was heavy. Original quote - expensive is a reflection of value and weight is relative. So no would be my answer. I really don't get why people on here get into these cars and then advocate cutting corners each time they mod something.... And sound deadening does not need mass for it to work. Why are studio walls covered in 'egg box' foam? It needs a pattern and / or material to absorb the frequencies. It also depends what the resonant frequency of the material you are applying the deadening to. Check some of the simple tests you can see where a 1" square piece of Dynamat Xtreme renders a cymbal complete tuneless vs some of the other 'bargains' out there..... Not really second skin isnt as expensive as dynamat nor is slient coat. Getting a better product isnt cutting cornors, dynamat just isnt that good. Loudboys 4mm stuff is great and cheap. here is pic of his 4mm stuff vs damplifier pro the 4mm stuff was used in my clio running a RE XXX 15" port tuned to 32hz. It was silly loud as it was facing the up so I got the horn effect aswell. No pannel ratttle. He also does a 2.5mm foil backed one. If the doors where about 3 metres thick then yes soft absorbing materials are great but you dont have that option. Mass is generally the best way to stop panel rattle and sound deaden the areas. In a boot you could have a sub box and on the sides stuff it with towels. this does a great job of stopping vibrations but you cant do that on a door. Also as Rob has said I personaly never found flashing tape to be great but that doesnt matter its messy. If your car is in the sun and you roll down the windows sometimes they get stuck and you get the glue on them. Personally in the last 12 months I havent seen anyone do anything with flashing tape. Generally its considerered crap. All IMO of course. So you managed to get it to stop noise at one frequency (ported tuned box to a particular frequency) - that doesn't mean it has sound deadening properties across a range of frequencies / volumes.... Having done SQ to Ultra level I have heard the differences. Albeit a huge part of the benefit of Dynamat Xtreme is the places you can get it. Just not sure why if the stuff is so good it isn't outselling Dynamat......?? People are brand whores simples. It hasnt stopped noise at a certain freq, it adds mass to the panels to stop them shaking. also you think a sub port tuned to 32hz can only play 32hz? damplifier pro, second skin, slient coat are all as good if not better for cheaper. Most people havent heard of them.
  23. cheers mate thought about doing that myself.
