It's the owning that's it's important, can't remember the last time I used my Xbox for something other than Netflix  

 

Ive not seen neo Geo on the list, but the OS only displays options based on the Roms you  have installed (don't think I have any). from some quick Googling , retropie does appear to support neo geo

As much as I think it is so cool

I am going to have to pass sadly. Good luck with the sale mate

Looking for around £60 to cover the parts. But I don't think we're too far from each other, so could work something to save on postage? 

So tempted with this, but I do have a Atari 7800, Master System, Megadrive, PS2, Wii and Xbox one at home and don’t play them. Does your Pi have the neo geo emulator?

Colossal thread revival! But having a tidy up at home and putting this up for sale. Forum deals available if anyone is interested in it

How much are you wanting for it?

I find the zed is invisible at car shows and people would rather photograph a standard focus st or vw polo. Around here there seems to be no love for Jap cars. If its not a bagged Audi nobody cares. 

I usually get a lot of cars try and race me and a lot of kids shouting rev it. 

I do get a fair amount of people let me out at junctions. So can’t really complain.

Hi mate 

Hi, I did and he was all out. I have managed to salvage my old ones and stuck new carbon covers on

i would be interested in these once they are off, I damaged one of mine on a speed bump

Hi, the reason I’ll remove them is that they have cracked in a few places. Fibreglass for these type of parts is not ideal.

I’m going to replace my Tarmac Sportz side steps with the Maxton ones soon

Sorry duplicated 

Need one left and one right mirror cover, any colour, just need to be in good condition. I ruined mine with tiger seal when I had carbon caps on top.

Love the carbon steering wheel

Do it! I have an auto with full cobra exhaust and k&n induction kit. Ecutek remap at Horsham made extra 30bhp. 

Cheers, Horsham is the closest to me. Will have to look onto it

How are you finding it since the map? I’ve got an auto and tempted with getting mine mapped. I have hfc’s, custom exhaust and k&n’s.

My current biggest issue is with the outside of the lens and lack of UV coating. The plan is to get them polished and then PPF’d.

I had mine done at RSV a few years ago, they look good, but not perfect and having a few issues now. They let water in if you used a pressure washer anywhere near there and now they have marks/ staining inside due to the dried water/watermarks. Even when the outside is perfect the inside is never clear, they needed a clean inside before reassembly and then needed more sealant to stop water getting in. 

Cybox and HFC’s or Test Pipes and it will be epically loud and incredibly droney

Quite a few insurance agencies refused to insure my celica because of the wrap on the roof. Do you have evidence that admiral said it's not a mod as usually it pops up as a mod on most sites/insurers when insuring?

I have the same issue with my roof wrap. They were more bothered about that than the exhaust mods, hfc’s, spoiler or splitters.

Anything non standard is classed as a mod, so yes, spoiler would definitely be, non standard brakes could be - depends on the company. Any non standard item could be deemed a mod, hence why always best to check before doing each one. Sorry to hear about your accident and glad you are ok.

As per title, at the Wessex Gate Retail Park Poole - do like your car! @mattross1313

Just concerned as I have the HFC fitted that it might be obnoxiously loud? if it's a little louder then I will consider it  

 

Now I'm thinking I should've got short tails instead of the HFC  

 

Let me know your thoughts guys  

 

 

Never had resonated short tails, but my first exhaust mod was cybox short tails and them alone. Just doing this the sound was far too loud and it was horrible.

since then I have replaced the cybox with some custom small backboxes made by a company called Topgear in Bridport who use Longlife exhaust parts, similar to Powerflow. The exhaust sounded better, but I wanted louder so got the mid box resonators removed. Again it made it a bit better. Most recently I had the torqen HFC’s fitted and yes its raspier, but the sound is much closer to what I wanted, the car was a daily, so had to be civil, but sound like a 3.7 V6! 

I did post a video on a thread on here a while back, of you search for my posts you should be able to find it easily.

I am tempted to do the final bit (Y-pipe) when I can get a good deal on one!

Brilliant thanks, just waiting for black Friday or January sales to get a good deal on the torqen one ;-) Since having it fitted, have you any regrets or is it just additional smiles per miles. By the way sick plates. What are those gel ones?

No regrets, would prefer the rattle to go, but I much prefer the deeper sound now. 

Cheers. They are the Exclusive Registrations 4D plates. I used to have the gel plates, but these look a lot better.

I had a custom cat back and then added the Torqen HFC’s to my 370z. It definitely improved the sound, it made it a different tone, deeper, slightly raspier and with the typical HFC hiss. I’d say it was about 20% louder, cold start probably more. I’m pretty sure I posted a video of my exhaust sound on here not that long ago.

 What I will say is car felt more responsive, its meant to add around 20bhp which is cool, but mine have a metallic rattle around 4k rpm. I think fitting was around £100 from memory

Sounds lovely, any pictures of the system on the underside? 

Not really no, sorry.
