  1. Get the garage you took it to when you had the misfire to write up a little report, the ones who found oil in the cylinder. It will help back you up that you have been experiencing these problems for a while and have already spent money trying to fix what you thought was an unrelated problem. It certainly wouldnt hurt things having it to back you up. Likewise with the following visit with the compression test results.
  2. Mixed part-worns for £20 a corner are where the real savings are made. Its a known fact that brand new tyres are less grippy to begin with until they are worn in, so let someone else do the hard work for you and pickup a bargain! You know you've got a good deal when there is a language barrier at the place you are buying from, especially if there's a queue of minicabs.
  3. The Invidia Gemini system is close to standard in terms of noise, and is a full cat back system (including Y-pipe) for around £899. Take a look at the traders on here, TORQEN and Tarmac etc.
  4. Sooooooo reading through the comments I'm guessing there were pics at some point that the OP has now decided to take down?
  5. 2 from 2010, 1 from 2006 and 1 from 2008. Talk about digging up the past to try and reassure yourself lol. If your happy with them then fine, no need to go trawling the internet to try and deflect onto alternative products but the fact remains the OP and some others (myself included) have had bad experiences with HEL lines and are trying to point out you should check/keep an eye on yours too. If you want to dimiss this warning that's your choice.
  6. So long as you purchase via eBay/Paypal you are protected by them regardless of the location of the item you purchased. You simply open a Paypal dispute if you encounter problems and will be covered, the only added issue would be you would have to return the faulty item to the seller before being refunded I assume. Its a choice at the end of the day, do you want to pay less by buying direct from overseas or do you want to pay more and have reassurance?
  7. Aren't the AAM systems available in 3" pipework. Wouldn't they be the "best"?
  8. HEL lines are crap! You get what you pay for. I posted this back in May in this topic: http://www.350z-uk.c...rembo-calipers/ But essentially I had the same thing as OP on my last car with HEL lines. I was braking from a NSL to a 30mph for a village and the line popped off from the Caliper side. Let me dig up some photos: As you can see in the 2nd photo. The fixing is still attached to the calliper, it was the line itself that gave in. These were only fitted for around 300 miles! @cs2000. Don't bother contacting HEL, all they do is send you a replacement line and a courtesy baseball cap for almost writing off your car!
  9. Bump for this. However in the opening post it states August so fingers crossed thats still the case. 20 front 25 rear is the norm for standard alloys. I've gone 20/20 however to keep the ratio same front and rear. Fitting spacers will not impact your tracking/wheel alignment, whatever it was before will be the same afterwards.
  10. I had a new set fitted to standard Rays in December followed by a 4 wheel alignment. They have been brilliant in all weather, road noise is fine and the wear rate seem reasonable too. Id buy them again happily.
  11. So its been 2 weeks since this was listed, is it being broken yet and mods sold on for some bargains?
  12. Ive always wanted to know this too. But watching drone racing vids on Youtube makes you realise there is some serious money/kit involved!
  13. I haven't used them, but these guys are located in Nottingham: http://www.zcentre.co.uk
  14. Makes me want to start playing WarThunder again seeing all those Spitfires!
  15. Haha I was curious what this would be from the title, pretty neat though, well done! Those stone chips however...
  16. The problem with those sidelights is the light scatter, its not focused so will be dazzling to oncoming traffic. Obviously that's not a problem with normal dull sidelight bulbs so be careful you don't get pulled.
  17. You'd buy a used, 61k mileage engine from America that you haven't seen running? Oh and it doesn't come with any wiring. lol rather you than me!!
  18. http://www.ebay.com/...er/181640433380 £900 quid from the states, rest goes on an ECU Or £1900 for the Jenvey kit: http://www.jenvey.co.uk/products2/throttle-body-kits/nissan-vq-3-5l-sf-taper-throttle-body-kit-with-curved-horns-cknn02c
  19. +1. Jenvey ITB's were a popular route in the Cliosport world where people wanted to retain the NA characteristics of the car. Decent power/cost ratio.
  20. Nice topic Bradders, I see you stalk eBay as much as I do Here are my findings. Plenum spacer from Murica, £82'ish quid: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131541129297 True dual exhaust, HKS copy from Poland. £400 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201318825865 Carbon Fiber lip for OEM bumper from HongKong.£78 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360979155895 OEM Banana arms (pair) from Murica. £280'ish http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251258354038
  21. You'll still have to wait for the same BT engineers you were already waiting on though!
  22. Remove tyres, sell them on their own for £250. Sell alloys alone for £100. £50 profit, done
  23. The problem you've got is that even if you switch to another supplier, apart from Virgin they all piggy back off BT's network. So in essense you will still be in the situation of waiting for BT's engineers to enable Broadband on your line for the other supplier to then charge you. The crux of it is, you either go with Virgin or you wait it out with BT. There's no escaping them lol.

  25. I'm a Renault man at heart and ive always had a thing for Gordini Blue: Or metalic Liquid Yellow (this guy had his Lotus done in the colour): Thread here: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=47&t=1515618&mid=0&i=60&nmt=Liquid+Yellow+Exige+V6&mid=0
