i presumme this is for autos only, as i haven't seen any sport buttons, or snow buttons

dont go to any extra effort, just intrigued, therer are so many to choose from already, and more to come. i wouldn't want them to go and design something with no one to buy it. just wonder if they would go for a single back box or a twin back box?

Yes, but as a teacher you must be totally p***ed off with his spelling and grammar! i'm a tech teacher; even i struggle with proper grammar and spelling, my job is to teach them how to make stuff.

would be intrigued, the mr2 one was about £550 but it took up less space. i know they make all kinds of vehicle exhausts, but i checked their website and they dont seem to do the Zed. mini, porshe etc but no Zed

i use internet sheild good piece of kit, not expensive

hayward and scott are good, my mr2 exhaust was theirs and it was a tidy piece of kit, excellent sound. good bunch of lads. wonder if they would build an exhaust for the Zed and for how much?

+1 to above post its just getting silly. they have also banned talking on a phone (which i agree with) but they are also looking to make it illegal to use hands free, some lobbyists want smoking while driving band. if we head down this route we'll be made to sit in silence while driving and risk points if we take our hands off the wheel to change the radio station. if they want safe roads, they should look at the following firstly - improve the road network, their are loads of roads in poor condition or dual carriageways that should be turned into motorways e.g. a12 and a14 secondly - after 11 pm speed limits on dual carriageways and motorways should be raised to 100. (or removed completely.) there is very little traffic so why do 70. heavily enforce speeding past areas like schools especially at the times they are being used. scrap speed cameras, introduce more road road cops, they have a brain and can make a decision on the driver, and give just a warning (which for some is enough) instead of a box that takes your picture regardless. all learner drivers should follower the finnish method of driver tuition. taking 3 years to get a licence, including time spent on a skid pan. proper probation periods with cars that are limited to 1000 cc. or 70 mph old people should be re tested every year from 60 not 70. cars should be fitted with breathaliser ignition systems if the government want to keep the 70% fuel tax, thats fine but that should be classed as your road tax, not charging people double. that way you pay for what you use. i'd rather have them scrap road tax and put fuel up by a couple of pence than keep paying £400 a year. licence points should be calculated on the severity of the incident i.e. 6 points for doing 50 in a 30 past a school maybe a warning on the motorway if your doing 90 in a 70. maybe make the advanced drivers course compulsary to complete within the first 5 years of driving. there is a difference between fast driving and dangourous drivering.

should always leave your car in gear on a hill anyway. that should solve the problem

some gorgeous looking cars there. love the cobras, its one of my dream kit cars. was told by an owner once at a show when asked do you drive it much? he said yes, but only when its dry, in daylight, no traffic, and no leaves on the road. anything other than perfect road conditions and they become a monster to handle, the backs are really twitchy due to the emense amount of power. said he could never use it as a daily driver. don't blame him, would cry if i wrote one of those off guess you guys have the perfect weather for them

how did you get on with this unit, is it working well am contemplating changing my bose, but don't know if this unit will support the speakers already in. also wondered if you had any steering wheel controls, if so do they still work with the new unit?

i'd like jet engines and hover pads but failing that a full gt racer bodykit and setup

news said today asda are pushing the price down further i think it is due to be 90.9 within the next week or so.

anyone have any ideas or pics of what the back of the bose unit looks like. am trying to find out if this unit will plug into it? their must be some kind of input as the OEM satnav runs through the speakers. but i don't want to go and buy one to find it won't intergrate. worst case senario is i have to run it off its own speaker like a standard screen mounted satnav. still interested if anyone has seen these, i've had a play 900bt and the pioneer system seems good, don't know what other peoples opinins are or if they would reccommend a better system. for a similar price.

couldn't care less abou the football, rather watch a rugby game, far more interesting, got bored of over paid pitch divers a long time ago.

its not prejudice, its an educated and well informed choice through ownership and experience. I've owned: - 306 gti6 (spankingly good FWD car, one of the first cars to have a 6speed box, and used to **** over most other cars) - CIVIC type S Driven: - civc type R current and last gen - 205 GTI - Golf GTI mrk 1,2,3, 4 and 5 also had: mr2 roadster Mid engine, rear wheel and out of all of them, i'd pick a rear wheel drive car over them anyday i loved the GTI6 and it was a great car, handled well, as did alot of the other ones i've driven, but they don't compare for feedback and enjoyment over a rear wheel car. if i ever had to go back to a hatchback, i'd get a BMW 135i, just because its rear wheel drive.

We are taking progress pics all the time so should be do-able. It is the FTO that came to the 350 Thurrock meet that time if you remember it?? As for a Supra engine in a Z, it would be a lot more complex than the conversion we are doing at the moment, engine mounts, wiring looms etc etc. don't some people also do an FTevO by dropping an evo engine into the FTO engine bay?

I love the Clio 182 as a car to borrow every now and then (brother had one), but you never get the control or feel that you do from an RWD setup. Never. Feel is everything, and when you've got two wheels doing both steering and power it's never going to be as pure. Granted a good FWD car can be better than an average RWD one, but I know which I'd prefer to own. +1. The feeling of control as you feed in the power at the apex of a corner with a powerful RWD car can never be anywhere near as good with a FWD. +1 exactly my thinking, and something that was mentioned in another post about MCS

double sided sticky tape syndrome looks like they drove through halfords sorry but to much stuck on pieces for me

agree whole heartedly. i've always preffered evo's over scoobies, but i'd never own one. you take off the spoiler, air scoops and bodykits, and no matter how you look at it you have hyundai saloon styling. its the family mans car on steroids. for me it screams barry boy. i prefer the refinement of the Z, more style, better credentials. mind you if i ever took up rallying, the first thing i would get is an evo

Wasnt that the one that Clarkson test drove and the torque steer near as damn it took him off the track? Looked like a monster! Correct, but it was a lovely car quite possible, but for me the more gadgets you add in to compensate the further away you get from a natural driving feel. and for me regardless of gismo's the best set up is "rear wheels push, front wheels steer" i was always told something that does 2 jobs never does them as well as something that is designed for an individual job. that and FWD caqs understeer like a bitch regardless of power and tools. i'd rather oversteer than understeer, far more fun, easier to correct . most of the time

people always forget about the clutch, if you uprate a cars power and tourque by a large amount, then guarenteed the original clutch will burn out in no time at all. if you go turbo your going to need a better clutch, and while your under there dismantling the gear box, you might as well lob in a lightened flywheel. see how easy it is to start getting new bits that and any kind of after market turbo or super charger is never just a plug in a play unit like standard fit turbo systems. they require constant monitoring, tinkering and tuning. All the lads on the MR2ROC spent loads of time fettling and checking their system. the only unit that didn't require this was the TTE system as this was the only one authorised by toyota and covered under the same warranty. if your not a tinkering type of person i would suggest not going down the FI route. you can't just slap it on and forget about it.

i test drove the supercharged version, dead esy to tune up to well over 200 bhp. a giggle to drive, but just couldn't get on with the interior. and the fact that its FWD. anything over 200 bhp and still front wheel is starting to lack. prime example was the alfa 147 GTA (hot hatch with 240 bhp) FWD and the traction control kicked in all the time.

i was always brought up that when moddin g a car the order to do it in was 1 stopping 2 cornering 3 power getting more ponies is the last thing you do. i have added power mods to my car first only becaus they don't gain anything. i'm happy with the car i have, just want more noise but then i see myself as a competant driver (my view not others ) i haven't done any track days yet, but i have done a bit of go karting, and considering that all the carts are on the same power its a fairly even playing field and should show drivers ability. i tend to way more than 3-4 stone than most people at 16 and 1/2 stone. yet i can keep up with and overtake people alot lighter than me. i like to think i have surprised several people who were expecting me to be at the back. on my last karting day i qualified second on the grid. (my only let down is that from a standing start i do take longer to get up to top speed.

they are a uk based company, just been on their website. i presume their manufacturing is done abroad and they don't seem to offer the exhaust through their website. looks like i'll just have to wait till big phil starts stocking it

they seem to get good ratings in here as well. most of their tyres are in the top 20 http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Grid/
