  1. I just wondered if anyone has bought one (more likely a copy), or has one that can cycle the ABS sensors to purge them ? My only other thought is to just trigger the ABS myself a few times just near the house to get some more trapped air out (yes I'm on a bloody mission ). Obviously I'll do this as safely as possible, the roads are empty there typically. My only concern is doing it that way may introduce upstream air into the ABS unit and make things worse. (not sure)
  2. I agree with Ekona on this, albeit my car is black but that panel pot has lasted me AGES now !
  3. Like WINKJ said, cheapy cctv camera, stealthily installed in case she is being let out by someone...
  4. You might as well flog them on here after you get an OEM set, someone will want them I'd imagine.
  5. Have you got any more photo's of the 'GT style Polyurethane Front Lip for 03-06 DE Pre Facelift' ?
  6. Post up what lenses they are, can probably give a few pointers as to what I'd choose (if it counts for anything! ). I guess it's a case of avoid all speed bumps !
  7. If you can put different lenses on the camera, it's all about the glass (pretty much) Fast lenses (ie low F number: f1 up to f2.8 + an ND filter if in daylight), typically give beautiful depth of field fall off and nice bokeh on highlights. It looks like you've got zero suspension travel at the front How is it ?
  8. Guess they didn't cut you in on "the deal"?? ;-) Haha, as much as I'd love to pop along (trust me I'm dying to see both of these out on track), I can't afford it this month and a delayed mothers day lunch on Sat. (family first and all of that - grumble grumble)

  10. Arghh mates going over there (Spa) this weekend in new 918 & CGT
  11. Let me know how you get on with that stuff mate. I've got a rotary as well, loads of random products but the last two I bought were Megs #105 and #205 (iirc) and have that Ultra Compound sitting around too. LC pads and some others I can't remember Oh and was pointed out last week - ensure you clay bar the paint prior to using the polisher ! (something I kept neglecting)
  12. Ah yes I think I see (in my mind at least), hopefully in my case I won't need them but I'll see what happens. Nice one on the fitting bits guys! Oh, how did you stop the driftworks bolt spinning when getting the new pins in?
  13. I forgot to ask, do you 'need' adjustable drop links with the adjustable arbs?
  14. You should hear how loud my one is after fitting the transmission poly bushing
  15. Another massive thank you to Ewen and Clark Motorsport! I was after a brake master cylinder cap, and sure enough he managed to find one, yey.
  16. https://www.youtube.com/user/GTchannel https://vimeo.com/hotversion https://www.youtube....er/HotVersionGT iirc you can also do some rentals of the vids as well Ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG7KJdcBmlE&oref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DyG7KJdcBmlE&has_verified=1 £2.99 rental
  17. pft - Best Motoring is where it's at (but I'll watch any car show, even that one where they buy, restore and sell )
  18. Do you know what... that's probably one major area I've been going totally wrong ! I know for sure the last few times I had a go, I didn't do this, washed and dried but not clayed. I'll do that for sure.
  19. I think I have Meguiars #105 & #205 to use first and various pads to try (it's been ages since I've taken the rotary out!).
  20. The Sealey VS820 (v4) & VS820UA (v3) arrived today I've read through many, many threads on the states version which is the Motive Power Bleeder, and got some extra tips to test out. I'll report back at some point on Saturday as to what I think of this product (will do a separate thread)
  21. Tony hasn't set the car up, just commenting on my settings (or 'to be' settings as I need to adjust). No my car isn't very low, just on the tein s springs and bilstein b6 dampers. Tony over at Wheels In Motion said 'All you need to do is adjust the arms pick up point at the chassis to move the castor'. & 'All you need to do is decrease the length of the front upper point or increase the rear point, sometimes we have to do both depending on the adjustment range.' I need to dial my caster back a bit (just over 9 at the mo, trying to get around 7°30 from Tonys advice with my set up). And just to confirm Kam at DW's said yep While I agree with the above I'll be very careful unwinding the arm to chassis joints as it does not seem these UCAs were designed for caster adjustment and there is not a lot of thread or strenght in those ends. Looks likely to fail if not fully wound in. I hope I'm wrong. More +ve caster is better especially in the zed with very dull front end feel from stock, so I'm wondering why he would advice less caster than the upper OEM limit!? I've been running near dead on 10 deg with no probs but 9deg should be perfect IMHO. Yep, you're 100% spot on about that mate. So anyone else buying/fitting - pay attention to that ! The reason I know is because when I was adjusting them initially, I accidentally unwound them out, so currently they are fully done up I'll just do a very minor tweak on them to see what the system says if they let me sling my car up on it again (local KF - haha, they are very cool with me there). Otherwise for now they'll stay like that, and I'll leave it for which ever place can look at it next time. He's saying that the camber migration will be slow, so it'll tend to hold the position.
  22. EXACTLY the same thing happened to me about a month ago - now I've got one in the middle of the frigging rear, repairable at least.

  24. Still just as mad. My introduction was the How to 'subway'
