  1. credit where credit is due! big thanks to all at Abbey for excellent customer service had my roadster booked in with them today for a P1 service and while there they changed out the trans fluid + moly (thanks zmanalex) and sorted an MOT then ran it on the dyno to reflash the uprev to the mods i have made during the year. Mark came and picked the car up on the way to work this morning then dropped it off on the way home (i am on his way to work) he also worked his magic on the dyno and got the best out of the car with a nice big lump of torque and some extra ponies in the mid range although for some reason (he thinks exhaust) the bhp tailed off ever so slightly at the top end (really not fuused about that) Scott kept me informed all the way through so thanks again for a hassle free service. as always it was a pleasure! next time im coming to you... i hear there is toast and marmite on offer!

  5. all the info i can find tells me that..... Audi TT 99 > 06 5x100 PCD 20 to 25 offset with a bore of 57.1 tyre sizes for alloys should be 17" 225x45x17 18" 225x40x18 19" 235x35x19 20" 225x35x20 Audi TT 06> 5x112 PCD 42 to 50 offset with a bore of 57.1 tyre sizes for alloys should be 17" 225x50x17 18" 245x40x18 19" 245x35x19 20" 245x30x20 hope that helps for me i dont think the TT would suit the rounded opening style of those wheels but i guess its personal taste for me i like the R8 style especially on something like the TT

    Varis front lip

    really? http://www.evo-r.net/product/Lip/V1/index.htm
  11. Tarmac viewtopic.php?f=166&t=47408 have a scorpion on mine... great fit and sounds Grrreeeeaaat (as tony the tiger would say)
  12. i was sat at the lights on my motorbike by the post office just under the bridge after picking up a parcel
  13. all depends on what look your going for.... dark metallic or candy colours will always look classy, bright matallic or candy colours will look more bling.. bold prime colours can look racey.. bold yellow, red or green. dont ask why i choose an Aston for the comparison
  14. Husky was selling clear strips to fit the pre up rev cars viewtopic.php?f=156&t=51401
  15. +1 what he said search google images for custom colour 350z and you get a load of hits... some nice some not but it gives you some ideas colour is such a personal thing.. asking what we think you should paint your car is never going to get the answer you want. whats YOUR favorite colour?
  16. and therein lies the problem... i as a truthful person get asked will i use my car for work. i answer no. my car is sat at home and i work in such a place that i would be STUPID to try and drive (traffic)... thats what i own and insure a motorbike for (insure for commuting) and the insurance company doesnt believe me and loads the insurance anyway.... whats the point in asking the question in the first place! as for the bit about getting stung for being hit by another driver. it happens! it happend to me.. sat at the lights and i get run into from behind.. next year my insurance goes up and i ask why.. apparently i am statistically more like to to have a fault claim after a no fault claim.... statistics also say that the next person you bump into will have more that the UK average number of arms (only need 1 person to lose an arm to drop the average down by .00001%) ok some insurance comps are better than others but at the end of the day they will all twist statistics to suit themselves.. they are out to make money after all
  17. so as long as over the full length of the tunnel ie between the SPECS camera positions you average a speed of 70 you will be fine.... have since fitted a scorpion mid and back pipe to compliment the Motordyne XYZ... think i might have to go through again
  18. saw 2 this morning within minutes of each other. one heading north one heading south. gave both a thumbs up as i went past on the bike
  19. heard you first then saw a nice shiny black coupe in the underground car park in redhill
  20. yeah ok good advice.... i dont actually have a prob with it all coming in on one month and it wont make me cry if it all does.. if i couldnt afford to run the car or it was tight i wouldnt have bought it.. still good advice for anyone who is running a bit tight...
