Theres no way from what ive read on VQ35s for them to make 350BHP from stock with just the usual supporting mods. Big loud cams, fueling, injection, porting, polishing, skimming, timing and a whole shop of other parts then maybe, just maybe. But you're talking about upping compression, a serious N/A build. And absolutely thousands of pounds for when as coldel says, put on either a turbo or supercharger and youll make more for less. The uprev isnt just about unlocking modifications, its about improving the entire feel of the engine and how it drives. This really frustrates when people make outlandish claims and people believe them!

Well the cars in, the painter is optimistic but who knows! Lets cross everything!

You'll need to get the bumper repsrayed and filled of you move the plate, youll have two 50p size holes behind the plate holder

Try unplugging the battery and leaving it at least 20 minutes to completely dissipate the charge. Hopefully upon reconnecting and starting the ECU will relearn throttle position

Evening Payco, My car is going into the bodyshop this week for a fair amount of work. Im crossing everything that itll be ready in time but just in case and ill put this out for everyone, maybe pre allocate my pass. Im aimming to be there but its going to be tight Thought id let you all know

Im half sceptical about my gallery gaskets as we spoke about a fair while ago Mark. Can anyone tell me what oil pressures should be for an 04 DE?

450BHP and stretched tyres. ALRIGHTY THEN

Payco did you tell him you used to own it? Its pretty laughable really. And a full chargespeed bodykit? LOL. Whats the betting this owner has purchased it and not realised how badly hes been stung? Id bet anything hes paid well over the odds...

Are you still banging that same drum hahah. Probably because on unmodified cars they've all gone through strict testing to see where potential leaks or bottle necks could occur

I agree with Paddy, I too was surprised at the lack of a thread but also relieved by it too. Thats what i meant Its awful whats happened but maybe im desensitised to it, but oh well? All its doing is yet another smokescreen while the real issue is unresolved. The only bit I agree with is not hating your fellow man, because the actions of the minority do not represent the majority

Erm... Yeah I dont really get this?

If im correct, doesnt it replace the oxygen in your blood cells, effectively starving the brain? So all forms of coordination go completely out the window... That was rather harrowing to watch as the chap was effectively dying there, and the track marshals seemed to have very little idea.

I too have have done this myself many a time over the years. What a shocling experience

I hope fitting goes well haha! Well as of today thats the complete kit here, Nismo N1 bumper 380RS spoiler Chargespeed rear bumper. Im a little nervous about it all going down the bodyshop!

As said, its not my opinion because honestly I dont know enough about it all to cast one, I just found it quite interesting to read, as morbid as that sounds...

A friend posted about this a few days ago, and there was a comment from another that caught my attention. Ill post it here and see what others say, but I strenuously state it is NOT my opinion. " Dangers of car modification? "Exagerated by the removal of the catalyst" Many many things wrong with this report. First. A mechanic, even a gash one could tell when the manifold gasket is blowing. The catalyst removes fumes from the exhaust AFTER the engine. Downstream of the exhaust. So makes ZERO difference weather fitted or not. Heres whats happened from an engineering and experienced background. The lad has been showing off to his girlfriend. Getting his car to pop flames by hitting the limiter. This is done by cutting the ignition. It increases dramatically the heat and pressure inside the cylinders and consequently the exhaust. This heat and pressure has blown a hole in the manifold gasket. He has then driven home and sat outside with his girlfriend with the engine running as it was cold. One of the side effects of carbon monoxide poisoning is sickness dizzyness and vomiting... so thats the puke accounted for. This is a tragic accident. But not the fault of modifying cars but driving like a **** and bouncing it off the limiter without knowing the results. To be 1000x over the safe limit they must have been sat there for hour after hour smelling gasses. I feel for their families. But dont blame modified cars. There are millions of modified cars on the roads that DONT kill people."

Possible your water pump mightve died, have seen it before. Odd that when fully unscrewed you wernt getting much flow

SO updates! Unfortunately still not been able to track down a body shop to get all of the juicy bits fitted which really is starting to grate, but less of that. Ive been hoarding parts as per, and these have included EPRacing 20mm spacers, Z centre caps and aluminium vents. And time for pictures ! Starting with the vents and then for the spacers! Im honestly in love with these, they have made such a huge difference So was nice to have some sunshine today, perfect after a nightshift! Maybe next time I'll have something better to show!

Saying this, id probably buy a tank. You can pick up soviet era armor, T54s and T55s etc for around 50K. Having driven one I can safely say its the best fun ive had in a long time!

Shelby GT500, because who wouldnt, and a 64 impala. I have a very soft spot for older American cars. Although if Mr Honda would agree id love a 2017 plate integra DC2. You cant beat nippy N/a on a twisty B road

I saw that on eBay Jon, its facelift so nothing else will fit. Will make the washers I bought off you completely redundant! Please keep an eye out for a preface if you get any in...

Im afraid your're literally at the opposite end of the country to me Alex, I dont think we could get much further apart. So thats really not an option for me

Upppp. Any breakers have a bumper?

Ride height looks spot on bud, any suspension work do you mind me asking?

Hahah tochè Stu! I thought you were going to offer then to help shift them!
