  1. Plenum, induction kit, hi flow cats or decats, exhaust. But even on a standard car some power will be found, it will be better on fuel and will have better drivabilty. TBH its about what you want and the Uprev reflash will make the best of what you have. I think anyway. I wouldn't bother with an induction kit personally. Stick with the standard induction and get a free flowing panel filter for it. Most, if not all induction kits will lose you a few bhp. sorry I may be misunderstanding you, but why would nismo design an intake if it's going to lose you power? Now meaning to be rude but just wondering what's the point of them then? Very good question! I have no idea why they would do that to be honest, but a cone filter which is exposed in the engine bay (such as the Nismo one you mentioned) will never be as good as the standard induction which has a properly sealed box. Cone filters will always suffer from heat soak. Found this out myself the hard (and expensive) way! I guess people buy them for the noise and the fact it looks nice, I know I did! Your right but I like the noise. I personally wouldnt take it off for 1-2bhp but the Uprev can limit the power lost I think.
  2. I know 2 guys with lpg conversions and they seem fine tbh and have been for the last 4years. So maybe it depends on the engine? Also lpg is about 106ron so maybe a uprev reflash and some high comp pistons could have you running really decent power thats a maybe so probably not
  3. +1. I find the car gets used to the way you drive and it sports its pretty good.

  5. I heat it up for a bit on the radiator before using. I use a microfibre aplicator so i find when its warm its eaiser to do thin layers. I do 2 panels at a time. I apply on one, then apply on the next then wipe off when hazed, then apply onto another panel then wipe off the second panel.

    Tyre Choice

    Different cars run better on different tyres. E.g. MPS was at 205/45/16 where made for the 182 and are great tyres for the clio as are the gsd-3's, but the rainsport 2s arent good on the clio. The rainsport 2's are great on 106's though. Also different people like the feel of different tyres.
  7. I put 476s on my brothers car and it was super easy to take off. if thats any help.
  8. FFS - they're going to make a 1000 mile round trip and you're asking about a GB discount?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get a grip of yourself Whooh . Why not? They might be getting 10 cars at once to book. near enough 4k bar dyno time and labour. There is no harm in asking. I would go to Surrey if there was a group buy discount there. Obviously not saying about Abbey but other tuners on other forums have made trips to Scotland and Ireland for custom mapping and offered group discounts. Win win for everyone. Also where would this be happening? If its near my hood you could stay at my house, my mums cooking is great or I know some good hotels round here. Also how much eqipment would you need just a laptop and other bits? If so you could fly up. I could try and get you a good deal on a flight . If not its all good. Just trying to make your stay better and possibly cheaper for us too
  9. I dont work at B&Q either
  10. Have you noticed that too? There is none round here! Even chatting up the girl behind the counter to see if she had a secret stash failed
  11. Congrats to the winners and respect to te mods and anyone else made this competition
  12. No. Basically 300bhp is the top amount it makes. You wont be getting 300 in 1st or 2nd maybe only 270. So your not gaining 90bhp just getting the full power from the engine. I think.
  13. Will there be a group buy discount?
  14. Great, Il think about getting one now
  15. +1. If you buy the ones from ebay he will charge you 20% restocking fee even if they are naff and you dont want them.
  16. 1. Stew - DC SportsTD exhaust, Injen CAI, Kinetix V+..... probably have a flutter on a few more mods if I'm doing an UpRev 2. Kenny (tt350z) - Power Enterprise TT running Haltech Platinum 3. Dblock - Japspeed k2, Japspeed Y pipe, (hopefully) Dc Exhaust manifold, K&N Typhoon, (hopefully) Plenum spacer (02 JDM auto)
  17. I think thats Dblocks as he works there I think............. Handy to know if you need discount..... Not mine mate Im a B&Q man I think it might be Kobi's?

    nismo

    and? It only has one exit! Big whoop, wanna fight about it well i never, thought a proper nismo had dual exit! was just an observation!! i'll get my coat! No for the 350z it doesnt. Usually Ian is like that guy from family guy when it comes to single exit exhausts. Bit like Scrappy doo

  22. Looks wicked. I bet the guys on DW are having fit
  23. a guy on my350 is selling mid mount turbo kits for not that much compared to other kits.
  24. No I think they dont want the hastle of saying it does just incase. TBH if they did that arent you happy the refunded you, if something happened later on I dont think they would deal with it. Give CS a shout.
  25. I know but it the zed isnt fast comapared to most modded cars.
