Never seen these before... full headlight covers
rtbiscuit replied to marzman's topic in Spotted on Ebay or Other
pretty good idea for track days, protect your headlight from any debris, and just pop them off to drive home. much better than the 2 stipes of black tape they usually have to put across your lights when your on track. -
i would say check the fit, some fit better than others. check out the pic off of the person your buying from. should be fine. if they had them fitted then there shouldn't be an issue.

umm, i'm just not mounting one at all, and leaving the plate in the window

man, amil order pies, my belly is doomed

As I said Mike I know what I'm aiming for ..................- my car is no garage queen and I spend around two or more hours a day driving so don't want to be deafened or have my fillings rattled out - I'm more interested in performance and I don't want to know its even there until I hit 3k rpm if thats your case i'd say go for the invidia, i know you don't want the G200, which i run, but i found the clips on youtube are nothing like what i have, not only that, what you hear at the back isn't always what you hear in the cabin. plus alot of the you tube clips also have de cats fitted (often called test pipes). i find the G200 great i don't hear much under 3k, it sounds almost stock, but over 3k its great, gives me the extra noise i wanted in tunnels, it doesn't drone on long drives and is a great all round exhaust. you also have the advantage that if its not loud enough you could add sports cats, or race manifolds at a later date. i'd say get a drive out in the cars with peopel who have them, but i don't know anyone in the UK with a GT300 or Q300.

i think F1 would be improved if the drivers cars were fitted out with flame throwers and other offensive/defensive weapons.

+1 whats wrong with just playing the game like everyone else, why do people have to go and fiddle

i have a K&N filter, and i also have the recharge kit for it. its a wash and re oil job. i think the JWT is the same. personally i want to swap the oiled filter out for a dry filter like the Apexi, then its just a wash and dry job

Be good to know prices on all these parts

whens it due for spraying, i'm interested to see what this rear diffuser looks like. are you blending it in and painting it blue, or are you making it a feature and doing it another colour like Black?

an afternoon with Team AFM and the Diesel racecar
rtbiscuit replied to rtbiscuit's topic in Other Cars
nope he drove very well, considering the tyres were on their last legs. -
bring on the snow

i had the same responce come back in a year if you haven't crashed it even though i've been driving 10 years and previously had rear wheel drive cars. apparently because of the performance difference it didn't count i'll see what they're like in june
-
i'd say go orange then. match to the samco hoses
-
wasn't offering red as an option, your right it wouldn't suit an orange. personally if you painted the airbox orange it would be to much bulk colour up front. you could do orange on the engine cover, and that would work well, its central and the eye is drawn to it. you can't spray it black as that defeats the object, and if you use a chrome paint its just going to look tacky. i took mine out for that exact reason, its just such a horrible lump of plastic in the engine bay. and your going to struggle to hide it. i think orange is possibly your only option. try photoshopping it. it might work if your going to use a CF engine cover, that way the block of colour is else where. sorry i'm rambling
-
have you got any other colours going on in the engine bay. for me i went with a red theme because i got an earthing kit cheap off a member on here and it was red, so went with that

its all down to location location location

it could possibly be skinned in carbon, but its not a job i'd want to try, to many fiddly bits and mould fins. personally i'd paint it if you want to change it. good rub down first to remove the plastic texture and then pic a colour and spray. i went for the Typhoon system got a carbon lid and removed the stock box. it might loose a couple of BHP but to be honest you'd never notice if it has and it sounds so much better.

Lol!!!! Can my German Sheppard join in? wouldn't that make it a tear and share snack to be honest, most of the cats i know are in charge of a house regardless of how big or how many dogs there are. normally the dog gets swiped around the face, and from then on the cats in charge my parents old cat was part siamese part russian blue, and on 1 occasion beat up 2 Dobermans, and on another had 2 beagles cowering under a table my mum had to go and appologies to the neighbours for her cat beating up their dogs

same here, i love mine more than i love my wifes one (we have one each) but they are both smashing. mines really big, but he's a huge baby, and the biggest tart going. he's anyones for a tummy rub bit like his owner i suppose

Well i was really chuffed on Thursday, Team AFM who have been doing all my bodykit work invited me to join them for the afternoon down at Woodbridge MOD as they were partaking in a track session down there with Javalin track days. they had one of their cars down there and offered to take me for a few passenger laps of temporary circuit that was set up down there. i had loads of fun it was a fantastic experience and Rick the boss is a very experienced Race driver showed me what the car could do. this is there smaller car. its a BMW 1 series Diesel that they use in several cups. its stripped out inside, but the only external work has been removing the emmissions sensor(or something like that) a remap and some exhaust work (maybe one or to other things.) and uprated brake pads. still running fairly stock. For those of you who don't know Team AFM stands for Alternative Fuel Motor sports, and a lot of the stuff they are building for the race world revolve around this. but they will build and tune anything. this thing was bloody quick for a diesel, and was alot better in the corners than most things out there. i think we did something like 8 laps and the braking on it was phenomenal, due to the 5 point harness my nuts are not up near my stomach. but it was great fun. it makes for a fairly cheap race car. as it was pretty standard. and considering he had been tracking it all day, it only used about £40 of fuel. its definaly opened my eyes to building a diesel track car. this is their baby track car, the daddy of their workshop id there £115,000 1 series Diesel Touring car, sadly he didn't bring it down but hopefully he might do soon and i'll get to experience that. as apparently that thing is a beast. one thing i will add, for a diesel it sounded pretty funky. and quiet mean. a bit tractor at low revs but once under heavy driving, i quite liked it. anyways i thought i would share my great afternoon with you. and a kind of a thanks to rick if he reads this for free ride If anyone in the suffolk area is interested apparently javelin are at MOD woodbridge once a month. so i;m sure you could get yourself on the list for driving your own car out there. the track setup is very twisty and made for a great drive. and anyone interested in some track driving tuition Rick is looking and doing this on a more regular basis. (he does it here and there) he is a very good racing driver, and its a shame he's not on the track more, but he has been more focussed on the business and has sadly given that side up for a bit.
