  1. Is anybody planning on going this year? I went last year and was a good day out http://www.walesmotorshow.com/ Theres quite a few of us around the area so maybe a stand there will be a possibility?? Costs were £6 for driver and £12 for passenger last year. Being held on the 26th August which is the weekend before the Bank holiday Monday. Anyone else interested?
  2. Is this the nismo wing? http://www.monstermodz.co.uk/list_produ ... ductID=368
  3. Had the same problem when I got mine. Looks like ill be sticking with Bell for a few more years. Did find another company that quoted me £1200 but cant remember who they were at the moment. Adrian Flux also quoted me but they wanted 3.5k
  4. Definatley get a Leon Cupra R, 30mpg, 225bhp, very tunable if you wanted, under 15k and its petrol . The only reason to choose the S3 over the LCR is if 4WD & dsg are essential. Ive had a semi-auto car before and the novelty will soon wear off and the craving for a manual will return
  5. Audi A4 or A6? Can get some cracking VAG diesels in that price range. Could also try a Leon Cupra R can get 55plates for around 15k with225bhp. My choice would be the EVO but if I had to be sensible an Audi would win every time.
  6. Thats brilliant, wonder if I could use that the next time they phone me
  7. Not sure if this is the right section to put this, didnt seem right in the trading section. http://www.neweraimports.com/carDetails.jsp?carId=290 The cars from Tokyo drift are for sale, including the TT Zed Think they may cost a fair bit though.
  8. Dont think id fancy being the one to test whether it works or not
  9. http://www.dft.gov.uk/stellent/groups/dft_roads/documents/page/dft_roads_506860-04.hcsp#P345_19528 States that all windows must allow 70% of light through. http://www.tintdude.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5197 - Tint forum with a supplier stating the new law. Not sure what %age you had done but I know that around here a lot of police dont bother anyway
  10. Windows are tinted when the car comes from the manufacturer, this is usually the 30% your aloowed. Ill try and find the link where I read this.
  11. I had 70% tints all round on mine and never had any trouble seeing at night. Would be tempted to get them done on my Zed. How much did you pay if you dont mind me asking?
  12. You would be OK to do it on a Coupe. I thought that anything on the front windows were illegal though? I had tints on one of my old car and on the right colour car they look superb.
  13. Would that be the same for ST or TT? Obviousley theres more stress on the engine but id like to get away with not spending silly amounts on internals
  14. We should definaltey have a SW meet. A bit cold at the moment though
  15. My Ibiza went from 180bhp to 206bhp on stage 1 map. Think stage 2 with exhaust/filter would see about 230
  16. Its a Remap/ECU tuning, best mod you can do on VAG cars for about £500. On my Cupra I gained about 25bhp for £470.More imprtantly a load more torque. Basically plug a REVO Switch into the Serial port and can be switched on/off and tweaked. Undetectable to dealers/insurance companies when switched off. http://www.revotechnik.com/products/sof ... x?pvID=583 £499 for 55bhp according to their figures
  17. :bye: Are you planning on getting REVO for the A3? Would get it a lot closer to the Zed

    Tomorrows the Day

    The Zed is definatley deceptive. It doesnt feel quicker than the Cupra but it is so much smoother. When I was driving home from the garage I was crusig at about 85 and it felt like I was doing about 50. In the Cupra you know your doing those kind of speeds but it was so relaxed in the Zed. Just need to get used to having a 6th gear and to use it a bit more.
  19. Always wanted to use that first
  20. Black roadster this afternoon about 2.40ish on the A4232 link road.
  21. Im sure I read somewhere that Toyota were pulling out of the sports car market, which is why the Celica and MR2 have stopped production and no replacements were planned. That Supra is super ugly though and if it looks much like that I cant see many going for that over the GTR
