  1. £77 plus £8 postage! I think ill just make my own! Lol
  2. I'm a fan of the stillen top spoiler and generally of that whole car pictured. As for vortex generators, I didn't particularly like them when they came standard and even less so when every Clio owner started fitting them. Wouldn't mind actually finding out if they were actually functional.
  3. Never in my life has some one brightened my day so much lol! Such a relief to get them off and in the bin!!
  4. Really good unit, you'll not be disappointed! Pioneer stuff has been hard to beat in recent years. Im in Northern Ireland and windscreen dab aerials are actually pretty good now we have completed the full digital switch over so you may find the same, before hand it was patchy at best.
  5. I've pm'd regarding ordering, I think the minimal price difference between these and the pop chargers and the fact they come with the nice intake pipe helped swing my decision. A heat shield could be easily constructed if required
  6. Forgot to say, I previously found this screen at £174 delivered, but that was through amazon, and the price has went up, but I'm pretty certain other online retailers were pretty competitive. I wouldn't get hung up on 3 preouts, unless your planning on amping front & rear speakers and subwoofer via a 5 channel amp or a 4channel and a mono. Even then it's still possible using a 2 preout set
  7. Much better screen, slightly more expensive but it's head and shoulders above the beat http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kenwood-DDX-3021-Multimedia-Touchscreen-Control/dp/B0070UZ0YY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363209465&sr=8-1 May be cheaper elsewhere too. I think it only has 2 preouts, which in all honesty is probably more than ample. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  8. Aye well that bit I'm not paying attention to, some tests saw a few hp gain but certainly not 19.
  9. Stupid question time - how do I know if I have a circular MAF? Mines 2005. I'm in for a black one provided its direct fit and no messing about, otherwise ill just get a pop charger
  10. Yeah I really should do that lol, I keep typing olliecrx to log in then remember
  11. I do, I have the incar tech system. I used it with alpine double din I think it was a w205 then changed to kenwood then back to alpine w505. Just bought the additional fly lead for the kenwood for about £5.
  12. Sorry perhaps I worded that wrong, perhaps buy the best you can within your allotted budget would be better. Research the DA100, although the appradios say android compatible there are a lot of known issues. Any double din radio is going to be £129 plus, and most are iPod biased. As said I was only offering advice, based on experience. It's your money to spend as you please, this is why when I was in halfords I just nodded and let people buy what they wanted because its not my money.
  13. My current setup is : Alpine W505 double din JL Audio XR front components Bazooka tube The tube was already fitted, but I'm replacing that with : Alpine V12 5channel amp Diamond audio 10" sub Most of this stuff I've been donated by mates selling cars or hoarded over time so the actual cost is minimal. If I was buying from scratch, ignoring the headunit as others have covered that above I'd be more inclined to have this setup or similar : Very close to what un1eash mentioned Headunit Alpine Type R front components NO rear coax 10" sub 4channel amp The vibe subs are actually pretty good sounding, but is it a pre boxed one or are you building a box? The amp again, the vibe aren't bad but you may find you can get kenwood or alpine for the same money by shopping around. This is just my opinion. I would forego the rear speakers and add that money to buying better front components. I've spent 12 years advising people on audio as a specialist and painfully for 6 months in halfords before I left the game altogether, so I've seen both ends of the spectrum lol. Buy what you can afford obviously, but make sure to shop around for the best deal. I was able to buy a kenwood screen recently for over £40 less online than I could buy it direct from a distributor I'd dealt with for 10 years.
  14. Sadly I don't think the ring will happen this year. My new job means I've only a certain window for holidays and at the minute all I could get was September, and all the track time then is poor. I really really want to go tho, and never come back! Lol
  15. I get 24 ish, my current tank is just under 20mpg. I'd love to take my 350 to the ring and see what I got on a lap. I managed to empty an s2000 tank on 3-4 laps.
  16. Ill get one later lol it's sitting in the driveway lol
  17. Sorted! Popped round to the mechanic this morning and he produces a dynomec removal kit, 2 mins later I danced a merry jig as he has removed my wheel nuts and I'm now able to fit my last spacer. Hoorah!!!
  18. I'd say our dealers are pretty much the same. I recieved a call back today telling me to call by a local mechanics at 9.30 tomorrow morning and he will have me sorted in no time fingers crossed!
  19. Thanks guys, I've a guy call me back and he can do it tomorrow morning for me Because of the rotating ring on the nut a socket just spins when hit over it sadly I've never had locking wheel nuts in my entire driving history regardless of whether the wheels cost £10 or £1000. My cars are always in an alarmed garage and rarely out of my sight if i go anywhere. Plus is wheel theft not really a thing of the past?
  20. Cheers I've a few places to ring in the morning, I know someone will get it off and I don't mind paying a small fortune, I hate locking nuts and never use them, I just hadn't gotten round to removing them and throwing them in the bin. There's a dynomec kit on eBay at the minute actually
  21. I don't think they have any Northern Irish people, ill maybe send them an email. Such a nightmare!!!! Luckily I'm off Monday and Tuesday to try and get it sorted
  22. I'm I'm Bangor so not too far from Belfast. I'm loving it, apart from my own stupidity yesterday and losing my locking nut key lol
  23. As per the title, I had a complete brain fart when fitting spacers, drove the car to turn it, forgot to remove the lock nut key, it fell off the wheel and rolled down a storm drain..... Yes, yes I'm an idiot! So, I have managed to easily remove the 2 rear lock nuts with no bother, the front are stumping me because the collar is rotating and I just can't get them off. I've rang a few places and left messages and I'm hoping to hit up Nissan in the morning and hopefully they have a set of keys I can use. But in the meantime has anyone any idea on how I can smash this rotating collar off? I currently have 3 spacers on, and 2 lock nuts.... Like I said..... Brain fart
  24. Welcome! I'm trying to see if it's viable to take my zed to the ring this year myself, last outing I had the s2000. It truely is the best place on earth!!!! Some nice upgrades indeed!!
  25. Ah those photos make me miss my s2k, I still have the calendar with my yellow one up in the kitchen...... With the day I'm having with the 350 today I'm missing the Honda lol!!!!
