  1. +1, The fk452 arent they now ziex952? Im surprised more people arent running gsd3s or t1-r. Grip wise they are much better than contis, prielli and the likes but noisyer and softer so faster wearing. The fk452 is a damn good tyre but imo the gsd3 is better. the gsd2 for looks though. Also has anyone tried rainsport2? Had some on my old car as winter tyres. In the wet they are epic.
  2. It lifts the plenum slightly to get more air into the front 2 cylinders making more midrange torque. I think. There is a group buy on a carbon fibre plenum plus spacer for about 250quid
  3. Ok, I didnt get any nuts as i bought them second hand from a chap on here. Im not sure. Im I just being stupid and confusing everyone else?
  4. So what do i need then ?

    Yeah mate would be fantastic.
  10. Ok i recently bought some spacers, the ones that go on the hub and have screws coming out of them. If you know what I mean . Now i dont know if i need bolts, nuts or what to fit the wheel. E.g. I need 20 nuts or bolts. Im not sure which ones I need. I know they are to be 19mm nissan ones but bolts or nuts? Also does anyone know a cheap place to get them as my local place who said bring them down wanted 2.50 each and £50 is alot of just bolts or nuts. Thanks

    Thanks my friend but im still in the dark of how loud it is as you say it me be loud enough but maybe not for me or with decats it may be stupid or for me perfect. Does anyone in Scotland have a k1 that I can listen to for beer/petrol money,

    My current car is that loud. When your on a b road it can make your ears ring. That came across wrong. Basically my current car is loud but only above 3krpm. I dont have any neighbors either. I dont know how loud it is as someones idea of loud is different to someone elses. E.g. Some people think the bose is loud but my sound system was about 2krms and i think that is loud. If anyone lives near me and I would be willing to travel and pay petrol money to hear a k1.

  14. Thanks, i 'assumed' it would be, be we know how dangerous assumptions can be! I did some heat testing earlier on a small piece and its damned good stuff. Even when on a naked flame it won't burn. Going to get the ends made up at work and fit it Thanks all are you just going to use ring terminals? Get some pics up when finished.
  15. Im sure it should be okay as some stuff doesnt even melt with a lighter! But if you wanted to be safe im sure you could wrap some heat wrap around it?

    ok does someone have a k1 with a decat i can hear as I think it will be loud but not silly loud. Also the ecv would give you torque round town and top end on track or b road.
  19. What engine was in that? Its the 2.0 RS F4R 172ps engine. Its non turbo. All engines are different e.g. some gain and some dont. Most will gain with a remap though. Its like running hot cams. You will probably lose power unless your car is mapped for it.
  20. c'mon Steve, don't be a lazy a---e! It 's car up the stands, 8 bolts each way, disconnect and reconnect the sensors, car down and only once a year I will do it for extra ponies anytime and save more good change for other mods. The evo/ scooby/RB crowd are at it so why not High flow cats will likely net you just as much as decats but save the hassle. If you have an FI Zed, sure decat it, but unless you are FI there isnt much point for the hassle. On other cars there is a big gain, IMO as someone said if you have them fitted and mapped for a decat im pretty sure you will gain. I gained a fair bit in my clio and my mpg went up too!

    Now i think most of you know the setup I want, Manifold, Y pipe, decat and k1. Its gonna be silly loud but i was thinking about getting a ecv. I have serched about no one really has one and everyone is like this or like that no real answers. They do work as i have seen them on youtube. I was thinking for it to be closed round town quieter, more resistance so more torque. Then open it up in remote places daytime etc. Sound like a plan. Any cons? Anyone running one? Thanks
  22. Wow, I love that colour
  23. personnally i think the painted ones look better on the 350, does anyone have any more painted ones? cheers
  24. how did you get the paddle shifts? Do you have any pics? Thanks
  25. Will this plenum affect the grounding kit? Nope, because the bolt goes through to the lower collector so earth connection is still there. Cheers mate
