Defo worth heckling your drop links. Mines developed a bad click/clunk from no where and there was minimum play but front drop links were the culprit. I was gutted as they had done less than 10k and we're white lines ones at £140 so didn't get much out of them Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I was referring to the days of Advocaat and O'Neill when the old firm gave some big teams a scare in the champions league I was referring to recent times not the good old days that I didn't witness I'm not grey like you remember I might be grey, but that is backed up with grey matter, not like you remember WTF did Advocaat or O'Neil win in Europe? Not even a semi final amongst them, or quarter final, O'Neil got a MBE/OBE for winning @uck all Show me the evidence of their success in Europe in 'recent' times O'Neil got to the final of the EUFA cup final 2003

Results so far; Reis – modified insurance under review so can't insure me http://www.bridleinsurance.co.uk/ £ call back, been a few days http://www.prestigekeepmoving.com/ £ call back http://www.chrisknott.co.uk/ over 100bhp increase so won't insure http://www.skyinsurance.co.uk/ £810 like for like mods http://www.paceward.com/ £ call back https://www.adrianflux.co.uk/ £ 484.40 mods like for like ​Looking like it will be a straight forward renewal with Adrian flux Can't get over how cheap they have quoted for it all.
-
I'll stick REIS on the list to try as well Adrain flux have managed to beat everyone the last two years for me £400 for this year at renewal so expecting a few hundred more for this I've not contacted anyone yet Its due on the 14th so going to spend a day and just go through them all but will need to throw together a list of all the mods in detail so i'm prepared if that's how they want to do it.
-
I always declare all my mods but I've never done anything as drastic as this before so wasn't sure how much detail they were expecting, My renewal is £410 i think with a long list of mods as it stands but I expect a jump up in price once I add the boost. I'll give Peace and ward a try as it seems to be mostly smaller companies that cover cars with long lists of modifications. That sounds a bit like common sense but how could you give them a figure for the day your taking it to be mapped, suppose that would be a grey area or you could just give them what you think it will make and if it's much different adjust it later on I suppose Makes sense as it only counts as one mod that way I'll need to dedicate a day to sitting down phoning all the companies in the next few days

My insurance renewal is due next week, as the car stands just now it is still not supercharged but it will be getting SORN'd for the winter and will be fitting the kit over the winter/ spring while it is off the road. So i'd rather renew my insurance just now declaring the car as supercharged and know what i'm paying for the year rather than get a cheap renewal for how it sits just now only to get raped when i declare the fitting of the supercharger. Currently with Aidrian flux but got a list of others to try (Bridle, PrestigeKeepMoving, ChrisKnott, SkyInsurance) To what extent do you other forced induction guys go in declaring your boost mods? is it enough to just say its supercharged or do you need to list off everything that's been changed as per standard insurance? Sounds a daft question but not sure how much detail the insurance companies need and would like to get this sorted as easily as possible.

I've got a similar one fitted, been good only issue i have is any time it tries to up date it keeps saying it has no space for data. I've got extra USB and micro SD cards fitted and moved all the apps it would let me over to them but it still says i'm short on space. I'm sure it will be an easy fix I've just not sussed it out yet.

Did the same as marzman last week. Totally agree with him, autobox was terrible but would love to drive a manual v8 to see what a real one is like. Rare as hens teeth round my way. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Anyone had these on machine finnished wheels? Thinking of a set for the golf r but read a few people saying that they trap moisture and lead to premature corrosion Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

My mate made a 4 post lift for his car using 4 farmers jacks (3 ton versions)... Basically he spaced them appropriately and bolted the 4 of them to his garage floor. Then he used steel box section to reach across from either side (one piece at the front & one piece at the back) with some welded plates on the tops which were shaped to fit into the normal jacking points on his Subaru. It actually worked really well and probably cost him only just over £100 to do. You had to jack up each one individually going round & round the car obviously until you got to the height you wanted which did take time but still doable on your own. Seemed safe enough & he used that set up for years with his car right up until he moved house. Thats clever I like it. If i had a decent sized garage i'd prob have splashed out on some sort of lift but unfortunately i have a modern sized garage which can't fit any modern cars a glorified shed really haha.

Yeh i stumbled across them last night, They look good but a bit expensive though. Found this http://www.carlift-ramp-mr1.com/ aswell looks good,simple and solid just way too expensive. Just looking for better ways to get enough clearance to swap a clutch out on a driveway without breaking the bank as then i'd be just aswell sticking it into a garage

With a little bit creativeness i'm sure i could get the zed up onto them. I was thinking this should give me enough clearance to change the clutch on the drive way when the time comes?

Big fan of the quads, keep meaning to take mine back to get quads swapped on

Fast road/Track 350z 3.7ltr HR built

Yeah do it all in my (wish it was a double) garage. The pic with the gearbox on the floor and axle stands all round on hole 3 is as much room as I had to do the job. Although its big the gearbox isn't too heavy and it nicely weighted to sit on a jack and be pulled away from the engine and then there's loads of room to nearly sit up under there and swap everything over. I'd recommend the Xtreme kit too, good quality and feel reassuringly heavy but not too heavy under your foot with no silly juddering etc mines already done a good few hundred miles of Alps bashing and its first trackday and feels good as new. Thats good news, think i'll pick up a new clutch and lightened fly wheel to stick on over the winter. I thought i was going to have to bite the bullet and get a garage to fit it due to my lack of ramps but reckon if i pick up a new jack with a higher lift it should be sound. I'm between the Xtreme kit and the JWT kit, both seem to get good write ups. I just need to add a press to my garage like you to save me pulling favors to get stuff pressed out -

Looks a good set up did you fit your clutch at home? I'm wanting to change mine over but wasn't sure i'd be able to get the clearance under the car to do it at home on the drive -
Looking good, another thing on my to do list at somepoint
