  1. Not a 313. It's a 296 at best. Didn't think they came out until 06.
  2. the octavia vRS can be a diesel!! that could be an option. only thing is though, with all of the extras it get very expensive
  3. well unfortunately it looks like the fabia will be out of the question as the car needs to be a oil burner! bummer!!! im hoping that i can convince them it would be better as its a smaller engine ect!! plus they wont let me have it in green!!
  4. i have a bit of a problem really. i am getting a new company car and dont know what to get. i have looked at the Audis and BMWs but they are too expensive on my budget. i have looked at the skoda fabia vRS 1.4 180ps and the Nissan Qashqai 1.5 ntec i really dont need that much space in the car. i really just need enough to put small hand tools in the boot. i am driving the Qashqai at the moment and it is a nice car. its got lots of extras (sat nav, BT, CC, massive sunroof ect. and the CO2 is 138g/km the Skoda is nice to look at goes like stink and is on 148g/km. this is loaded with stuff too. the nissan is pretty gutless on the road and needs to be driven quite hard. which in turn makes the MPG pretty crap. (only 37 MPG average). i havent driven the Skoda yet but would like to think that its quite nice. has anyone had any experience with either car. your opinions would be valued. Sparky
  5. add me to the list please. be there with knobs on. that tunnel will be class i bet!! scorpion exhaust
  6. i have had a full body MRI and numerous CT scans. its not that pleasent but for a 20min procedure it really does tell the doctors alot. glad you got it done through your GP. mine basically told me that i wouldnt get referred because it cost so much. turns out i had a broken back due to cancer in the spine. needless to say i am changing practice. hope the results come back OK.
  7. Still got her? The car, not the wife!
  8. +1 perhaps someone should start a "show us Your Lego Models" thread
  9. better sound TBH. the amp might not be compatible with the new HU. i have been told that i might need a new alpine Amp and sub to get the best sound
  10. as soon as i packed up my laptop for work i realised i got it wrong. sorry tarmac and RT yes i remembered that it was RT that was suppling them
  11. thought i liked them, then saw a picture of them on the car. not very nice IMO
  12. tarmac, he makes these, not the proper ones but the desired effect
  13. There is a thread on here about what is required, just need to seach for it You will need a HU manufacturer specific loom. Most is available is from sextons direct. You will need:- HU Specific loom adapter with steering wheel controls Facia adapter Possibly some new speakers and amp.
  14. My mate has one like that. Is it an st1 2 or 3. Performance blue is my fav colour. They are very easy to tune. My mates one is pushing 300 brake. Sound nice too. With the exhaust he has. An very nice "family" car.
  15. +1 if no witness, then its her against you. i bet she claims tit for tat!!
  16. might have a look at the galaxy s II myself in that case. if the battery is much better. does it have full access to the android market place? does it use the same OS as my HTC?
  17. I have a htc desire. I love it. It has got better with the updates too. I am now going to get the upgraded version the "sensation". It is the nutts. Very fast and does everything much better than the desire. If i were you and want to get a HTC wait for the sensation dont get fobbed off with the desire s. Its just the desire but slightly better.

    Stability

    the road surface has a huge part to play. you are doing over 205 feet per second. in my ST, i used it on a private road and got about 120ish out of it but felt very skittish, on a track at the same speed it felt quite planted. but they rail roaded like nobodys business.
  19. that could well be the problem. if the warning keeps coming back i would defo get it checked. if it were me i would ask why/how the wheel is buckled and get it checked out straight away. did you buy the car from a dealer or private?
  20. my mate had a TTS, i know its not the same but it just wasnt that quick. he paid over 30k for it new. it looks lovely inside and out but. i wouldnt bother. he is a manager and was very p!ssed when i got the zed. as people were looking at my 10k car and not his 30k+ car. he sold it and bought a RS4 just to be better. i would get the 370 and spend some money on modding.
  21. they are defo for the steering wheel controls. i cut mine and soldered on the new ones. however i have left sufficient lenght on either end so that i can solder them back together if i want to sell the car! try and reconnect the original cables together. although it doesnt look like there is any slack. not sure what the other ones do tho. perhaps a mic for BT and a remote out for a sub? oh and top tip:- dont screw the surround to the back of the radio. screw in the radio to the car and then just slide the surround over it. that leaves only two screws at the bottom to undo if you want to get the surround off again.
  22. three Zeds on the A3 together. un heard of!!!!!!!!!!
