  3. Get an EP3 CRT for a few grand while you save up a few more Ks to get a GT-R 😉 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Got mine today, looks and feels gooooood 😎 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Do you get brake squeal from the yellow stuff pads when there cold?
  6. Yup Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk It's a pass and advise, they were supposed to change the rules on this some time ago but didn't. I'll bloody thrash the place I use for mots when I see them! They told me any major warning light (abs, airbag, eml etc) being inoperative was a fail The ABS light must illuminate and extinguish after a few second of ignition being switched on, the airbag light only has to indicate a fault (be illuminated all the time) but it don't have to illuminate when you turn ignition on, and the management light can do whatever it likes! Except for old range rovers, you have to drive them to get the ABS light out. The M.O.T system is a bloody nightmare because most testers will disagree on almost everything testable, I just refere to the manual that's on the new system and print sections off when people disagree. Even then there are grey areas where the manual could be interpreted in different ways. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

  8. Is anybody running these brakes? I'm looking to replace the brakes soon, I've had grooved brakes on preivious cars (mostly for the looks) but I don't want to sacrifice any stopping power by fitting crap brakes that look good!
  9. Vauxhall dealers on the most part are ignorant of the VXR8 as it means more work for them and they are paranoid they **** it up and end up in trouble. Honestly mine was the best car I have ever owned, and me and the wife are in discussions on getting another in the near future as she loved it too. Really? Whats it handle like? Because thats alot of grunt being put through the rear wheels!
  10. Yea i had a good look around it and i have to say it didnt look very vauxhall at all! I wasn't very impressed with the way lookers just turned me away tho, that could of been off putting if i was a customer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. That's what I thought! They gave me a number of a dealers in Wales somwere and told me they are the only Vauxhall dealers that can get parts, called them and then they told me they didn't recognise the reg number in there system so I ended up using the forums to get part numbers etc.

    I'm not sure what I'm more jealous of, his car controll or them empty roads!
  13. I know the VXR8 is a nightmare to get parts for, had one in work a few weeks ago for some exhaust clamps and price up a service. I had to order the clamps from a specialist place after much googling because lookers told me that they don't deal with any of the VXR8s only the Monaro ( apparently a compleatly different car) Sounded awesome tho!
  14. Ive PM'd him, even if i can get the right part of the loom, if i can find the wiring diagram i should be able to just run some new wires myself. I cant see how this wouldn't work with all the right components. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Everything's simple once you've worked it out haha. I just want the volume / phone buttons really, I've never really felt the need for cruise control. I think the hardest part will be sourcing the part of the loom between the head unit and the steering wheel?
  16. I've been searching and googling for a while now, can't find my definitive answers yet but I'm gonna give it a go. What's the worst that can happen í ½í¸‰
  17. Yep... was first image I found, need to find one that's a bit higher resolution... if anyone has a good high-res Z logo image lying around, would be grateful if they could send me a copy. Can you upload the moving backgrounds as well? The standard ones on the DA-120 are crap!
  18. Loving the Z emblem on the HU, did you upload that with a USB stick?

    VDC off?

    Well! My step bro knocked down one of the lampposts years ago in a montego on the same bend so i suppose i could help update the rest of them
  21. Is that a second on the first crossing on the right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    help!

    Flooded? Not sure were it is on the zed but sometimes if i go on a breakdown to a flooded car i take the fuel pump fuse out, turn it over a few times until it stops firing up then dying, and then pop it back in? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    VDC off?

    Yea it's all pointing towards the geometry isn't it. Anybody know of any decent places to get it checked out? My garages alignment equipment is limited to a set of old tracking gauges unfortunalty.

    VDC off?

    I tried the same corner again tonight, but a lot slower and tried accelerating out of it and the VDC was all over the place, im pretty sure it would have been fine with it switched off! Its hard to tell but i think i felt a bit of understeer, just cant tell if it was or it was the VDC. Its annoying because the car feels great in all other situations, plenty of grip from the rear.
