  1. Hi all


    I upgraded my JDM non Brembo to Brembo's today with the lines, new Stoptech slotted discs and Stoptech sport performance pads. 

    Only driven a few miles but the brakes sound like they are grinding and there is a clicking noise, that gets quicker when driven faster. 

    The brakes feel great, but they are a little noisy. 

    Is this normal?

     

    Thanks 

  2. Edit -Mix of miles and KM - 50,000k Km, now showing 106k on clock, so im guessing 50,000 km and 56,000 miles

     

    Thanks for the suggestions, I did check my coils and it didnt resolve the issue, however I got a really bad misfire this week. I've pulled the coils off again and the NGK coil I bought recently had broken. I've sorted that and I still have the issue. 

    I'll clean the throttle body and do a relearn this weekend, I'll also change my plugs.

    Thanks for the help!

  3. It is a long way to travel, but I thought it was worth it, especially with the spacer and decat.  I wanted to make sure that the air/fuel ratio was right and my engine would be okay with the mods. Plus, they know the car inside and out. I'd rather let someone who actually knows their stuff do the work than someone who is guessing :)

    I'm a local lad, grew up between Walsall/Willenhall/Bilston, 

  4. I'm from Wolves, I got my spacer fitted at Horsham along with a remap for my decat. I'd recommend them from personal experience. 

    I didn't manage to find anywhere local that was worth the salt, most had "chips" or files with no actual proof of change, and no dyno to test and show a safe air fuel ratio after the map. 

    The spacer does not alter the rpm limit, but gave a nice increase in torque which is more noticeable that the bhp gains. 

    I'd rather trust the experts with something like this, as a bad map could cause damage further down the line. 

  5. Hi all

     

    My car has been misfiring very intermittently when driving normally, probably once every 50 miles. It's had an issue where it misfire's on cold start a little. This is mainly when the weather is less than 5 degrees. It misfired quite badly this morning for around 10 seconds. 

    I've also had a warm start issue where the car wont idle until you give it a bit of gas to keep the engine alive, but it will idle fine once its "caught". 

     

    The car is currently showing code P0350. 

     

    *edit* - this is a 2003 DE Jap import

    I had a misfire last year which I cured with a new set of plugs (6 months ago ish) and a coil pack. I didn't manage to locate and cure this until it was really bad.

     

    Engine mods - 

    HKS filter

    Decat exhaust /system

    Horsham Plenum Spacer

    Horsham Map

     

    Has anyone had something similar to this before or can point me in the right direction of how to sort this. 

     

    Thanks

  6. Hi all

     

    I'm after a Y pipe for my 03 DE. Ideally 2nd hand as my budget cannot stretch to cover the cost for new. 

    [edit] - Thanks for moving this to the correct sub

  7. Thread revival?

    not many pics of this weekends outing to Skid Risk in Birmingham, but a few from last time. This was my 1st event so I didnt go on big track, and I didn't get any pictures on the track from this weekend... apart from in the queue.
