  1. i will hopefully be running the pioneer avic f500 bt, which has a built in adapter for pluging your ipod into your unit. which should mean i can use that for ipod connection into the standard head unit. just got to get round to dismantling the dash and creating the mould for making the holder for the unit in the cubby, and then wire it all up. will hopefully get onto this in the new year, as i'm away over xmas, but i will do a full photo diary as i go, for others who are interested. and once i've made a mould i can make new cubby boxes up to order.
  2. going down a hill, poor breaking, makes me wonder if your low on brake fluid?
  3. sorry to hear this and all the best for the future, and i suppose as decisions go its not one that can't be undone in the future. with phil and andys expertise there is no reason they couldn't start up a new business in a couple of years time when phil is back to full strength. i'm fairly certain that because of his name and reputation it would be easy to rebuild a loyal customer base in a fairly short time. all the best for what ever you all do, and a speedy recovery for phil
  4. the only mod i'm aware of that will give noticable change to performance is the plenum spacers. all other mods like exhaust, induction etc are cancelled out, untill you add a piggyback ecu or a replacement ECU. then they make the difference. but the search button is your best friend here as its a topic regualrly covered.
  5. the skline engine looks like a serious piece of kit. bet that gives you a good kick in the back when you give it some beans.
  6. welcome along thought i'd get in before anybody else just have to wait and see what the admin team say
  7. i like the look of the front end. i prefer it like that without the wider wheel arches.
  8. my back gets quite warm, but the seat doesn't just a minor anoyance. maybe when next winter comes round i will have had some time to dismantle it and find out why.
  9. without any pics of the software running, its difficult to tell as all we can see is a blank screen. look behind the pasenger seat, in the tiny cubby should be the DVD unit, which should tell you what your running
  10. sounds like a plan. watched the end of the final last night, what a vomit fest. i could not put up with all the sobbing, and wailing, and all over a contract which will see the record companies earn millions and the winner out of work by next xmas.
  11. might have to take a look, see if its a loose connection
  12. so anybody able to tell me this ? should heat the base and back elements in both wonder why its not warming my botty up then?
  13. so anybody able to tell me this ?
  14. already sky plused it and set the series link, but how do you find stuff like this out
  15. i would have walked as well. sounds like you made the right decision. when things don't add up its usually for a reason, probably hiding something.
  16. your gut is a very good sense when it comes to buying cars. i've walked away before, not feeling sure about a car, did an HPI check and found out it was a CAT D. couldn't tell you how i knew it wasn't right, but for some reason, my gut knew. so what was the unanswered question
  17. i can't work out how strapping a dump valve to a universal air filter qualifies as a super charger? and what the hll would it actually do?
  18. has been said before, it also depends on the driver. i'm not saying your a bad driver, but it has been mentioned before that some good drivers can keep up in a crap car against someone who is less expereienced in a faster car. for instance, redlining the zed of gear changes isn't the most optimal change point, the touque drops off at around 5500 (i think from memory, can normally tell by the feel) may be they had the revs high already so was already in vtec mode when you pulled off. but to be honest that wouldn't make much difference. could easily have been played with and tuned up.
  19. very good,
  20. i met one of them the other night, tried to race me off the lights. but was in a 1.6 civic
  21. mine only seem to heat the back of the seat, neithe rhte driver or the passenger seat seem to heat the bum seat section. is this normal or are the seats meant to heat the back and the bum.
  22. merry xmas, and keep safe
  23. he'd do better returning it to stock, and selling the wheels seperatly, but that wouldn't net him the extra £5000 over the asking price that he is looking for
  24. probably why it was never fitted, and sat in a garage, person waited long enough to put back up, and amke it someone elses problem

    Ouch

    i wouldn't be suprised if it was over 80. just read it again, looks like it was his brothers car. and he was driving like a div. self inflicted. just lucky he din't take anyone with him or hit someone
