  1. Nah I tried it out, you'd need to use isofix though (comes standard on them I believe). Strap kid in befoehand though and then just 'click' them in Then again I'm out of work with a pulled ligament in my back... so maybe not great Easy solution: Cut out a gullwing style rear quarter section, dilemma solved. Or install a sunroof that opens way way WAY back, lol 4 seater convertibles are genious when it comes to kids and putting baby seats in, as you just remove the roof
  2. have you tried resetting the codes? have you tried the TPS reset (throttle position sensor) try an ECU rest as well
  3. Why, what has happened? he's selling up and as for pant pulling down, they aren't worth much as they rot out very quickly
  4. thats a lie, you take that back la la la la la la la la la la la la la i'm not listening
  5. i'm sorry tarmac but zee germanz are not allowed at lads nights only kidding, i can't wait to see your new toy, love the porkers,
  6. really is that the only material people have
  7. come to the dark side my young padawan the force is strong in this un!
  8. what is that like 50mph-90mph? i have no idea of numbers, but thats around where the real kick is, basically if i'm cruising around 50-60 leptones and dump the throttle it just pulls like a steam train i think thats where alot of its power is, basically dropping a cog and flooring it for over taking.
  9. come on hugh; you might as well post yours up and trump us both its not like your aston is lacking really is it If I knew the stats I would post them ......... all I know is that performance is .......... erm .........ADEQUATE i'm making some guess on your car, but if its a DB9 V12 volante auto 2 dr, then these are your rough figures Engine Size = 5935 cc Cylinders = 12 0-60 mph = 4.9 s Power Output = 450 bhp Valves = 48 Torque = 570 Nm 420 lb-ft Top Speed = 186 mph
  10. come on hugh; you might as well post yours up and trump us both its not like your aston is lacking really is it We could probably add ours together & not come close If I added my van & R34 together I still wouldnt match the jag got some add on coming soon that will push it close to about 450bhp and what make sme laugh is that to get the extra 80 bhp will cost me less than a grand i would have had to spend 3 times that on the zed to make a third of that gain on the zed i have been converted to FI i must say. its the only way to go.
  11. come on hugh; you might as well post yours up and trump us both its not like your aston is lacking really is it yep a lack of money and sleep
  12. Ahh, go on then engine Size = 2568 Cylinders = 6 0-60 mph = 4.9 s Power Output = 280 bhp Valves = 24 Torque = 400 Nm 293lb-ft Top Speed = 155 mph lol
  13. Let the willy waving begin engine Size = 3996 cc Cylinders = 8 0-60 mph = 5.2 s Power Output = 370 bhp Valves = 32 Torque = 525 Nm 387 lb-ft Top Speed = 155 mph
  14. he caused me no end of grief with vinyl, he'd want loads of stuff, but give no pictures for it, i'd then spend hours doing the drawings and then he never got back in contact. at that point he taught me a valuable lesson, take money upfront before big custom jobs. and if his name is M350Zb, then don't pick up the phone.
  15. i like the boxsters, nice cars, prefer the cayman looks; and this is odd, but 911 looks don't do alot for me, i like them, but it doesn't make me fizz.
  16. they are developing a map for unleaded tuning
  17. wow that was short term
  18. That was also funded by tesco so its crazy biased, also im sure they compared it to optimax not v power. i thought it was an independent test done by a tuner. would need to find it to see.
  19. there was a thread or a link to a thread on here where they tested different fuels out on a dyno. tesco came out the best by that i mean it gave the best BHP figure
  20. You sure they weren't using that special BP 100+ Octane race fuel that they sell at like, 8 select petrol stations near race courses? Not trying to start an argument, but I seriously doubt that Super gives you that much more over normal. Maybe 10-15 but not 40. I thought the main benefits of super were slightly cleaner and better additives for the engine, and a little more power. No way that super gives 40-50 bhp improvement, I would be shocked if it even gave 10. its not a gain of 40-50 bhp on super, it means you get the full performance of the car, becuase thats what its tuned to. by running on unleaded, your loosing 40-50bhp.
  21. forgot to add, you'll need about 3 tanks through before you see a difference.
  22. cost works out about the same, super gets more mpg but costs more, normal gets less mpg but costs less. the difference between the 2 is small when it comes to mpg when you comapre with cost as well. but more importantly it tells you the car needs super as thats what the cars tuned for. if you want to run on regular, get the engine mapped for it.
  23. instead of taking the whole base up (i'm guessing its concrete) can;t you just add the extra 30 cm to one side and slide the frame down. basically leaving you with a small lip at one side i'm doing a drive way, and it was only through research that i've managed to avoid planning permission. basically i am building a semi permeable surface so no need to drain surface water, so i don't need planning. as for your neighbour; that tells me, he may not be complaining, but he's chatted to other neighbours, and someone else is, but he doesnt want to say who.
