    Audi TTRS

    You dont need to be sliding at all for TC to kick in, just spinning a wheel faster than the others
  2. Now you know why I havent tackled the dials All manufacturers are the same, they know you can only get the bits from them, and you need them, so they whack a massive margin on it. They will try and sell you crap like it has to come from Japan and thats what pushes the price up, but its crap as my dome light came from the Netherlands (it was stamped on the packet!). They do it because they can. Fortunately the OP is covered by warrenty so doesnt have to pay I am still supprised that the guage works down so far and then fails. If it were at fault you'd expect it not to work at all. Maybe there is some crap stuck in the driver servo or something stopping it from turning. To me its more likely to be a sticky float, but Im no technician!
  3. I tested my Zed and Leon on Tesco 99RON vs their 95RON and get more than enough extra in MPG to warrant the extra cost. I've seen a couple of tests that show Tesco to come out top, so it does me
  4. Nissan electronics aint cheap! My BCM and dome lights went (under warrenty), BCM - £500, dome lights - £150
  5. Looks good mate You'll be fine with a DA on the Zed, as the random orbit removes a lot of the power from it which means it cuts a lot slower than a rotary. Start with a soft pad and light cut compound and you'll be fine Also as Stew and Immy said, watch that bracelet and cable. The cable on the Kestrel is quite short, but on DetailingWorld there is a chap that sells uber flexible cable by the meter. I bought 10m off him and it makes such a difference. You can run around the whole car from one power socket and nicely put it over your shoulder. Well worth it for the £10-15 it costs

    True dual Y-pipe

    Maz, I think you need to let they traders know which exhaust it will be used with
  7. WTF lol My guess would be the whole cluster needs changing, not just the fuel part. Husky you should know that, you've had the gauges apart
  8. There will be no difference in the map, whether its reflash or piggyback. Piggyback will give you more logging options and reflash keeps some OEM ECU features which are no in a piggyback. The maps will be the same and come down to how good the mapper is. Whether you use piggyback or reflash makes no difference.
  9. As Mart points out, the roads for the Wales Runs (North Wales) and Jockland Hoon (Scotland) are well worth checking out. Come along and enjoy some cracking roads and socialising
  10. If Mitz gives them the thumbs up, then they should be good
  11. How many miles has it done? The only thing I can think of is the clutch.
  12. Ben perhaps? Indeed it was. Didnt know he was going until Tuesday last week Big question is, was he any good? Amanda thinks 4WD is for wussies, shes a real driver
  13. Good work again chap, bet the owner was well chuffed, good as new (if not better than new!)
  14. The massive tyre tracks he left would suggest he managed to hit the brakes. Infact on the in car footage, you could see the tyres locking up so he must have been braking
  15. The power is feelable, but not when hooning it IMO. Where you feel it is when cruising about 40-60MPH and you put your foot down. There is noticably more grunt. When hooning it though, its all about top end power, and this doesnt net you much of that at all.
  16. Netgear for me. Not "the" best, but do the job at a good price. I've had 4-5 of them now and never missed a beat
  17. It was around £230 delivered from Envy a trader on here. I don't think you can keep the standard strut brac with 1/2" spacer but it gives slightly more tq I believe. Sure someone will confirm. Thats it. Tiny bit more torque, doesnt fit under the standard strut, even with spacers/washers. Just get the 5/16"
  18. Gonna need our own carriage
  19. Yeah, I cant see how anything will come of it for Brawn, it was a total accident, case of wrong place at the wrong time. I saw the in car footage replay and it didnt half clout Massa, poor bloke! Amazed he managed to be concious enough to even brake. Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery
  20. Dude that sux, but a week in a body shop learning the tools of the trade will be very good experience. Every cloud has a silver lining as they say. Chin up, will be awesome when you've got it all done

  22. You have a strong car you lucky sod! Mark has already invested in an piggyback ECU, so dont think he will be going with UpRev just yet
  23. Probably the sensor on the fuel level sensor on fuel pump (think thats where it is) sticking. Sure I've heard of that before. Gets so far and sticks even if the levels drop. Someone like Alex/Adam will be along to confirm
