  1. Car looks really smart with those mods I have 3 questions for you I hope you don't mind 1) Is that a uk car? 2) did the momo boss fit ok? 3) what did you do about the airbag light? Thanks
  2. Good! basically I completely agree, like, yeah
  3. Bolts underneath x4 I believe, get something like fishing wire under the spoiler and slowly pull it along under it the break the glue, each time you get to a bolt take the wire out and then poke it through the other side and carry on. For the glue, I used a tar remover soaked into a rag which I left laid on top of the glue for a few minutes then used the rounded edge on a bottle to rub the glue away, the rounded edge prevents scratches but gets under the glue. A little bit of water with the bottle often helps to lubricate it The edge I mean is below, careful not to drag the thread on the paint though Then wipe down with tar remover again to get rid of the last bits
  4. Im pretty sure the there 4 inch bungs will measure one and see Well theres a 4" one somewhere in Woking on the floor.... free to a good home

    Aerokit?

    Not used them myself, but everyone I know who've used them have said good things. They made this last year too:
  6. I've lost 3 bungs around town! If it's a 3" bung I have a spare you can have for free if you pick it up. If not, theres a company on ebay who sell them for £15 each and they work pretty well.
  7. I wish! I'll be doing the small comps I've been doing this year and hopefully the ODC if it comes down this way again. Other than that I can't even think about doing comps until I have the car upto specs hopefully it will be rollcaged next year, I'm hoping to buy the cage one month, then have it fitted the next lol.
  8. Thread revival! Did you get anywhere with this bizz? I'm getting a welded diff for next season and I've heard that a welder kills the driveshafts on the z so would like some stronger spares just in case
  9. worst case is cut the valve off, most tyre places will charge £1 or so for a new valve. All they will do is cut the valve off (releasing the pressure from the tyre) whip the tyre off, swap the valve in about a second and then chuck the tyre back on. Re balance the wheel if you really want to and boom, job done! They might charge you a couple of quid for the balancing, but they also might not, depends on the garage
  10. Not from round your way, sorry
  11. As above, it depends where you're located. I'd recommend fully researching any company you would like to use with your preferred search engine, as you can always see examples of a companies work on forums etc where people are chuffed (or not) with the job done

    vinyl wrap

    Most places will give you a 5-7 year warranty on the wrap (vinyl) itself, so long as you take care of it you shouldn't have any issues. Also, I've never heard of the paint being taken off with a proper wrap, if that was the case, no one would have it done!
  13. Polo runs on 19's with no problem.... he does have 700 odd BHP though!
  14. 18's standard non rays wheels, they do look a little small even in person. However they look better when clean Edit: remembered another picture
  15. not exactly what you're after, but really shows off that I need front wheel spacers
  16. Except you'd always have to keep the car clean. What happens if you leave something in the car, do you have to go all the way back down with the car to get it out, or can you nip through into the garage section?!
  17. It's not as if Vettel won a race in a torro rosso is it... Oh wait. I suppose we should just handu u his seat to you, see where youy come in right? I think the race where he won the title last year proves he can race and overtake, you can't blame him for taking an advantage and using it, its human nature, I'd do the same and I'd probably be 50x more arrogant than him. Maybe you should take a look at the finer details in his raves, sure he's had some bad press this season, but he is THE man to beat, he has most to lose of anyone, the pressure would get to anyone. Everyone makes bad decisions in their life, but not everyone has them broadcast on live TV with an exact transcript of the heat of the moment things they said. I'm sure you've made mistakes at work, I sure know I Have, and I'd hate to have them publicised for the world to see.
  18. I've got a friend with some xxr's with a chrome finish, the car has been garaged its whole life and the chrome has still gone nasty after 6 months or so. XXR don't care as he imported them from the states, all of the painted areas are perfect though.
  19. I'm surprised at the number of people saying they have issues with 1st to 2nd, that change for me has never been a problem. It's a bit notchy, but the whole gearbox is really, it's one of the things people liked when the cars first came out.
  20. Please do more value for money options can only be a good thing, might help to stop some people way overpaying for products just because it's what everyone else uses
  21. And make the boot smaller than it already is? The boot size doesn't bother me, but I know a strut bar AND a sub in the boot would put a lot of people off! They had to put instructions in on how to fit 2 golf bags in as it is
  22. try a soarer forum, the z box is being loved for the 1UZ currently
  23. Go oakley custom, then you can design them how you like
  24. You need to conduct an interview though, if they say pacific instead of specific they need a drop kick out of the door!
