    Will post up the prices tommorow when I am back in the shop
  3. creaking is from the rear drop links on the anti roll bar, easily solved with a bit of spray grease into the bottom joint. We do it as a matter of course now on any service. thanks phil Pics of the offending part.

    de cat pipes

    We have a set of used but as new Fujitsubu pipes in stock for £100, alternatively we have new Kinetic ones as well both resonated and straight through. Sorry, mate. Didn't know you did these.... No problem we have all the Kinetix range in stock. Will shortly have high flow cats for the new 2007 onwards model as well.

  16. Nismo exhaust is £850 and free fitting, also includes the Y-Pipe. Full 1 year warranty as well. Eibach probably one of the best if you are looking at springs only, kept in stock.
  17. The requirements are different for each vehicle as the original braking system varies in quality from each manufacturer. In many cases the only change needed is a change of pad material and possibly a fluid upgrade. Our main concern as I said earlier is a safety one and surely peace of mind is worth the additional cost of upgrading the brakes, and tyres for that matter, alongside any power upgrades of any relevance. At the end of the day each individual has to make his or her own descision on the merits of how they address this issue but it is not one that should be dismissed lightly.
  18. cant wait to see it, how are you tackling the ecu issue? Strictly speeaking we don't need to do anything with the ECU as ours is a 2003 JDM but we will be fitting the F-con to maximise everything and fine tune it. Who'll do the tuning, Phil? One of our power writer contacts not sure who as yet.
  19. No you don't. Increasing the bhp will increase the MAX speed of you car. The difference in real life will be that you will be hitting 70mph faster than previously, not that you will all of the sudden drive 140mph all the time, followed by a full stop for traffic lights. Read your post twice seems to me you contradicting your opening line it's not because your car CAN run faster that you WILL run it faster. I guess nobody here who installed a turbo kit installed it to get a higher max speed out of his car. With that line of thinking all cars from Fiestas to Ferraris sold in the UK only require basic brakes suitable for hauling them down gently from 70 mph every now and again. If you upgrade performance, it must follow that on a long stretch of country road your average speed and probably your peak speed will be greater i.e. you will achieve greater velocity between corners and therefore your brakes will take more abuse. Brake upgrades will not only haul you down from high speed quicker but will reduce fade over concerted hard driving such as this. That's of course without even mentioning track use.... Very well put and exactly the point. We have done a lot of track evaluation using temperature strips over a wide range of brake products and with cars in various states of tune and it is for this reason we are confident in our reccommendations in this area. The differences in the heat put into the brake system on a standard Evo for example over one with a mild increase in BHP are substantial and therefore require addressing if nothing else from a safety point of view. We see it all too often that cars have power upgrades, turn up for a trackday, get two or three laps and then find the brakes are cooked and this is not only relative to track driving but also spirited road driving. Take a look at any rally car for example in it's two main configurations ie gravel spec and tarmac spec and see the difference in the brake setup.

  21. We have that very kit going on the car shortly.
  22. Last set just went out 10 mins ago more due in next week. Dude did you see my PM? Whoops, just answered.

  24. The falkens give very predictable and compliant handling both wet and dry. Only thing we can't comment on is durability as we haven't had them on any car for long enough yet to judge.
