  1. agreed, with bradders, if i was moving on from the S2000, then i'd be looking at NSX-R's
  2. think he's right - well you have gone and bought a S2000 god this forum is like an ex girlfriend who won't accept you've broken up
  3. no need to worry about your posts mike on facebook mike. i didn't know if it was common knowledge and had twigged ages ago, hence the post. wasn't stirring; just thought this was like the secret announcement thread. congrats to you both, and don't worry about the stupid comment i didn't take it personally, i mean attak thinks i'm a retard so maybe there is some truth behind the comment
  4. bluefin chip as well also boosted the power as well, wasn't difficult ot squeeze biggish gains for not alot of money.
  5. I'm sorry if your upset bud but i'm not really sure how to take your post! You read my facebook? Are you stalking me? I'd prefer my admirers to be female to be honest not upset just stating an observation not actually been on your profile, but am linked with nix, and her status's flash up on my profile when people post. as a teacher i am very good at spotting messages with double meanings. yours stood out like a sore thumb. call it a gift i have
  6. the older supercharged ones were alot better than the newer tubo ones. test drove one and enjoyed scaring the salesman, but wouldn t have one. older ones dead easy to tune up for more power at low cost
  7. is this a thinnly veiled attempt at announcing a relationship you've been in for a while i read facebook and i'm not stupid
  8. only 2 companies in the UK that have the gear to crack the OEM ECU Abbey MS and RS tuning; both are good, but if i had the choice i'd always go to abbey.
  9. slim jim down the window, should be able to hook and lift the door mech
  10. the post 06 has a bigger air stack think of it like the horn of a trumpet, just allows to spread the air in a more linear way over a wider area of the filter. think it makes use of the venturi effect.
  11. most of the mods you'll only ever see the gains if you get the car mapped to make the most of it. yes the stock 06 will make the biggest gains over other intakes; but it doesn't all of a sudden mean that every other intake looses BHP. abbey only ever said the best gains would be had with an 06+ box, not all airboxes will loose power. if you stick an open filter in a hot engine at stand still it will loose power, shield it and get it a decent air feed and you stand a better chance. not all cone filters are useless, its the fact that the OEM box offers excellent heat protection. Honda use cone filters as standard on the S2k because a cone offers a wider surface area to suck more air in through.
  12. as far as i'm aware the short ram is the long ram, you just don't use all the bits. and then you end up straight back where you started with the jwt's the filter is sat in the engine bay sucking in hot air. if you want short ram with decent air feed and heat shield; then the k&n typhoon is one option or the ARC intake is another. most other setups are non shielded. or you need to go true CAI and sit the filter in the arch like the AEM or the injen or FUJITA etc.
  13. you do realize that by upping the courtesy car your upping the insurance bill. you want have to pay the difference but when you come to renew and have to declare the amount paid it will make a difference to your renewal
  14. its like white stilettos on an essex girl
  15. for the search inept; its the button in the top right hand corner; labelled "search" as i'm feeling helpful here are the main ones off the forum. viewtopic.php?f=27&t=33501&hilit=avic+f500bt viewtopic.php?f=27&t=35903&hilit=avic+f500bt viewtopic.php?f=27&t=37919&hilit=avic+f500bt&start=30 viewtopic.php?f=27&t=16678&hilit=avic+f500bt
  16. its an entertainment unit. if you search on here you'll see how i fitted it.
  17. yes i had it in my car and fully wired in through the headunit. i paid about 380 about 2 years ago, so a very good buy at 180. at that price it makes it a very good deal. imho it would be the best possible retro fit available for the zed. i have written a full review on it and did a fit on it and several other threads. worth a search on the forum.
  18. about 400ish quid, cant remember off hand. go check their trader section its all in there
  19. closest place to you is abbey motor sport for tuning remap. and personally i would have taken it to them as well for the pinking issue.
  20. one off production without a mould will cost a fortune. would be cheaper to actually buy the splitter you want new direct from japan.
  21. carbon coops is selling his aftermarket setup and its very nice.
  22. i'm like lincolnbaggie; was a trombonist; played for about 7 years got to about grade 7 standard. stopped playing about 7 yeats ago. played in several orchestras and bands. do miss it; just never got round to picking it back up.
  23. i think thats the advantage of having something like cars as a hobby it gives you that release your not getting from work. i think the down side is when you turn that hobby into a career it can take the shine of it as your doing it all the time. bit liek eating to many sweets or ice cream. in small doses its great but you can get sick of it if you have too much
  24. I remember my Mum attending a careers thing at my school and a woman standing up and saying 'any degree is better than no degree' My parents don't believe that. My Dad left school with no qualifications - didn't even sit his exams and well, he hasn't done badly for himself. Hard work is very under rated at the moment. both my parents were the same, although they supported me with what ever i wanted to do. i felt i needed a degree so thats what i did. and due to the high level of writing involved and study i really struggled. i wish i'd gone off and done an apprenticeship. although i've landed on my feet and i'm good at what i do and i still get to work in the workshop. i make up for what my job lacks in by doing projects at home.
