  1. Yeah that's me! If you see the old girl over the next 10 days then it'll be the missus driving as I'm offshore. Got clipped by some wifey the other day so the front end has some battle scars now!
  2. Absolute weapon. Seeing stuff like this for so cheap makes me want to move to the states even more.
  3. I would probably refrain from flashing lights in a car park like, unless you like washing your car......
  4. Tried PMing you a couple of times for payment details, what's the crack?
  5. I think it's more to do with the fact that he was the main star in a huge series of films about modified cars and that he was himself a car fanatic. So most of the people who are paying tribute are people who feel they have something in common with him, fans of the series or just genuinely want to pay their respects to somebody who died way before they were meant to. I know all of the above apply to me.

    RS Tuning Remaps

    It never got off the ground as the 350z side of the deal got lost in communication. The TDI North one is still going on though.
  7. It most certainly wasn't moi! Some god damn pretender no doubt.....
  8. My mate was in that boozer an hour before it happened. Yet again another Eurocopter going down.....wonder what the excuse is now?
  9. Cheers mate, up on the ramp now like so we're cooking on gas.
  10. Trip to Larkspeed and ATS should see me make the afternoon session!
  11. Managed to munch my brake pads to pieces this morning and need a new set as soon as possible. Are there any good samaritans or is there anywhere I can go nearby to get some new ones? Peace Phil
  12. Yeah man sound, it's open pit lane so pop over and say hi, we'll be with my mate in his dad's Cayman.
  13. I'm glad this is about the heaters in the car as the title could be misinterpreted as a kinky game gone wrong...
  14. So this weekend has been taken up by fitting HKS Hipermax RS Coilovers and a new sound system. The coilovers were a doddle until the rear driver's side shock bush decided it was rusted solid around the bolt. We had to chew it up to the point where the rubber came free of the outer sleeve. The next task was to try to get the bolt free from the bush......5 tonnes of pressure on a press couldn't budge it so we had to cut it into 2 halves. As this happened at 8pm on Sunday we just had to put the 2 halves back in and replace the knackered bolt with an M12 and nut. We spent a good 8 hours in total on the job but the last shock took us around 4 hours to complete. So moving onto the sound system, I went for a Pioneer double din head unit with Parrot bluetooth, Rainbow components, Hertz HX250 sub and a Hertz HE 800w 4ch amp. As I couldn't be bothered with the fanny on with running cables through the conduit to the door speakers I decided to mount my woofers where the rears belong, the tweeters are in the obvious place on the dash and the sub is sat on the "parcel shelf" with the amp behind it. Overall I am extemely pleased with the sound quality, Rainbow make some of the best speakers out there and the sub was in my competition winning Focus ST from way back whensday. I'll upload some photos of everything when I get home....
  15. I think it may be the thermostat that is cane sugared. The water temperature gauge is constantly cold and the A/C is cold (obviously)
  16. The sound quality will remain the same as you are only changing the head unit. The only thing that will change is that you won't be able to play CDs, only MP3s and the one supported music streaming app.
  17. Cheers for the advice people, much appreciated! I'll let you all know how I get on.
  18. It had a service before I bought it in June. Not 100% on what they did but I've got the car on the ramps on saturday when I get home so I'll drop the coolant and put new stuff in then. Hopefully that should sort it.
  19. Alreet! For the past couple of months the blowers have only been blowing cold air and now with the winter months hitting us I have to get it sorted. What part do I need and where can I get one? Peace Phil
