  1. I would go for intake and plenum spacer. Pleunum requires no tuning as it just redistributes the air more evenly. Intake will allow the engine to breath more and coupled with the exhaust and SAFC should unlock a tiny bit more power but not a lot. Have you had it dynoed before and after the SAFC tune? How much did the SAFC cost? Havent heard much about them before.
  2. Mine is exactly the same with regard to the steering. Its just because its not particularly aided by the power steering, so if you have a lot of lock on, the inertia of the wheels will keep it pointing in the direction you turned rather than coming back to centre. Mainly I find it only happens when I turn tight turns (ie junctions), round rounderbouts it will return to centre. Also after reading the others posts, it should if you are going in a near straight line, return to dead centre, and not require any input. If it does then the tracking will be out. Refurbed Rays are very common. They bubble a lot and anyone anal (like most of us on here!) will have them done. Ask them why they were done and if they say bubbling or corrosion, you know it was legit
  3. Amanda would be up for that, piccy heaven!
  4. Its fairly easy, just be careful with the bolts when you tighten them up. They need next to no force when tightening. We've had a few members strip the threads before doing them too tight
  5. I've heard imports are tuend to run on even higher RON stuff, so the higher the better
  6. My Zeds Nissan mats lasted almost 5 years, only just got a new set. The original set still look ok, and clean up looking like new. The new ones are a nice thick carpet. +1 - mine are 5yrs/63k miles and not too much wear on them. Could probably do with some new ones, but much more important things need doing first!
  7. Yup, I think Opie were the cheapest when I went to do mine.
  8. Cant we run a query against the database to flush them out? Drives me mad. Just edited Robs ISTS post as it was driving me nuts
  9. Getting into track car money for someone to strip it out and race it! Good luck with the sale bud.
  10. Have you done it before? I did it on my seats and now its wearing back through to the original colour. The stuff I used wasnt hard wearing enough for a daily driver. Guess it will be ok for PlayStation type seats, but if you want them in the car I would get a proper retrim which is what I am now going to get.
  11. Already signed up How do we get notifications? Do you send out messages manually? And do you really have pink fluffy dice hanging on your mirror (just kidding ) I assume thats you as the admin of the group.
  12. Hairdryer, followed by glass polish or nail polish remover for the residue
  13. Not see one of them before. Bet you're well chuffed!
  14. Blimey, and we thought £1.5k for ~30BHP on the Zed was bad money! (new ECU and remap will net you ~30BHP). FI cars are meant to be cheap to tune, did noone tell BMW that?! As the others have said, theres always something quicker out there. When I was at TGM Sport over the weekend, an interesting lad came in. He was banging on about how his mate has a Nova that can do quarter miles quicker than a Lambo, until on his second run that weekend (against a Lambo again), he blew the engine wide open. The Lambo driver just drove home Some people just dont get it
  15. Stew how bout this?! Good to see you're keeping him in line bronzee
  16. I think you're right from what I remember from my Leon (effectively a rebadged Golf). The VAG protocol that lets you read all the funky stuff from the CAN bus is not compatible with standard OBDII. You need a generic reader for fault codes, or there are more expensive software which can read the Nissan CANBUS (eg Consult), but IIRC they are quite expensive. This is what you need though if you want the same level of info as VAGcom.
  17. Plugs to go for I beleive are the Denso Iriduims. Do a search, the product code has been mentioed before.
  18. Good stuff buddy, cant wait! Shame it wasnt on BBC HD
  19. Stew give the girl a chance. Shes not been on here 5mins and you're already hassling her
  20. Nice one matey, you must be over the moon
  21. Grounding kits are always a bit hit and miss. It depends on how good the original grounding is in your particular car. Some have good std grounding and the kit does sod all, some have pants grounding so the kit makes a decent difference, most have reasonable grounding, so it makes it a little smoother, but not a lot Mine smoothed the idle out and that was about it.
  22. emailed her dude, I know she is away at the mo, so probably not checked, she is back saturday so will ask her what she thinks, deal or no deal kinda question Ah nice one fella. I don't know about deal or no-deal. It'd be good if she just said Hi on Facebook......at the moment I don't even know her name! Dude dont sound too desperate, girls dont like it
  23. Got mine of a company called Delsa Motorsport on eBay. However they seemed to have stopped trading last time I tried to find them They have a website, but they dont do everything they used to. Tried them out - as you say, they no longer appear to have an ebay shop, but they have them on their own website for $48.95. Only trouble is getting them shipped from the States! If I can't find them anywhere else I might give it a go. Thanks, Chris. Shipping was pretty quick for me, less than a week
  24. How many miles have you done on them? Can take upto 100 miles to wear off the mold release agent, and thats damn slippy! That could be the culprit tbh
