Where do you live?

Your paint code should be on an aluminium plate in the engine bay drivers side with all the other info.It should be a 3 figure code, i.e my blue azure is B17. I think if you search on this site you may find a photo of it? Not sure though.

Be careful you might end up sleeping with the fishes.

Once you get them clean seal them with this. Finish Kare 1000p high temp polish, this polish is designed specifically for wheels and exhausts (shiny ones) it its temp resistant to over 250+ deg C. Not forgetting that brake dust burns out at this temp hence its specific use.

Take a page out from the male Lions in Africa, if they don't like their young they eat them, perhaps we could have restaurants with a bring and buy sale??

Not sure what you mean ? Its a group buy, the revision is for other members of the group who are still waiting to go for their uprev

A couple of good replies already, sites such as "meguiars" and "clean your car" are full of information and how to videos. One slip up that happens regularly is the use of the word polish, in detailing terms polishing does not mean the final coat, waxing and sealants do. It seals in the previous polished layer. "Sheeting water" after the final wash is very useful and using the 2 bucket system, any way I'm not trying to teach how to suck eggs the best way is to watch the videos, a picture says a thousand words etc,etc. Happy cleaning.

I tell you something folks I have no intention of bleeding mine but I've had a hell of a laugh reading this topic from start to finish

Hi Steve great isnt it? Been telling everyone who asks me about the day it was the best £414 I've ever spent on a car. Don't forget, now the car has the licence, if you go for the next uprev it should be about £140+ cheaper. Glad you enjoyed the day.

less than £500.00 for the DB9 for me and only £140.00 each for the two little cars £320 for mine £110 for the wifes, £50 excess, fully comp.

You know when you take the p**s out of us old f***s this is pay day, I get my car insured for £320 from Admiral, guess whose smiling now?

Hi if this falls through can I take second dibs, but I know you steve, this will take a miracle

Was there at Xmas time. No bans on these items, great place, great time. Take the classic car tour from the centre of havana absolutely brilliant.

Probably his ear.

Hi are you not coming to the meet? theres only two so far from lincolnshire?

No, neither do I, thats what happens when you bugger about with cars. Having said that, it was thought to be great in the seventies a bit like flares with trousers, I am now wearing flares for the third time since I worn my first pair, Christ I feel old. DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT COMMENTING ON THIS

Who watches the watchers? Obvious the "matrix".

Now this is the way to run a thread about remaps. I know, and before any one starts I'm sorry, sorry, sorry for the inuendo (and thats not a spanish suppository), good stuff guys.

No your shy and daft

S**t happens thats life.

Late entry on this one, it has to be a remap and a raw egg between your right foot and the accelerator pedal.

I'm pretty confident in my r-tune intake. Cragus has seen it, its not the normal aftermarket one. It was factory ordered with the car. I'm pretty sure the pro's at nismo wouldn't make a blunder which could lose the car power. I love it and even if I don't have as much gains I'd rather have a nice looking engine bay than all they box plastic boxes all over it Hi Neil I know that there isnt a problem, just to put it into perspective the only problem they have had was just that one with an HKS system. No more than a comment for people to contemplate and you are quite right a properly fitted peace of mod will not cause any issues. Anyway I am going to my secret test road today to give mine the full trials somewhere in the sticks of deeper Lincolnshire.

Hi I was an engineer in the seventies and I have seen changes over the last 40 years affecting this area in cars. When I bought my first car in 1970 yes 1970 it was normal to slowwwwwly run your car in. The main issue was with the piston rings and general mechanical parts such as the conrod shells, king pins and bearings needing time to wear in, "no NEILP" you did not dream it. Many cars suffered main engine catastrophic failure (pistons departing your car at 2 or 3 hundred miles an hour) LOL, due purely to speed. Now as the decades have gone by this is no longer required because of better manufactuting of these type of items. I would simply stick with the maintenance booklets comments as per "CHRIS 1" comment at the beginning, the answer is they do not require running in but a short bedding in on all the parts including all the car parts is common sense and yes ignoring the advised car manufaturers comments would cause an issue with warranty. Enjoy your car first.

Last comment to the group before I slip of to netherland tonight, it would be worth having a chat with Paul at RS a day or two before you go, to have a chat about your mods on your car. One of the lads at RS told me about an HKS induction system last year that caused a drop of 12bhp not that would be a bummer? Good night must get my beauty sleep need about 3 days worth after today.

There you go, ala starsky and hutch 1975-79 cop series.
