  1. I spent all weekend driving instead 8) Good drive out yesterday in the MR2, and then up at 5am today to get some fast empty road driving done in the 911. Quick nap when I got back and I'm good to go.
  2. No, they have a 5% chance of either IMS or bore scoring probs.
  3. Looks right to me. At least, that's all I ever used on mine.
  4. That's a manly cup of Ribena you've got there Steve
  5. That does seem a bit high. You've probably gotten away without having any damage, but definitely worth treble checking any oil levels in the future.
  6. Ah, I did wonder that after I'd written the post. If that's the case, definitely get them to add weights to the seat when doing it.
  7. What's a quart in proper money? How close to a litre?
  8. Set the springs and dampers up the same both sides. You could do a full setup with a set of weights on the seat to simulate your weight, but you'd really want to do that in conjunction with a full geo. I'm guessing that's already been done so need to worry about that any more, but remember that adjusting the ride height from this point can have massive effects on the camber so you may need another alignment if you decide to raise or lower the car again.
  9. Abbey MS, RS Tuning, Horsham Dev... Pick the closest
  10. Nope, not a sausage. ECU will throttle back performance to account for it. Uprev time for you!
  11. My review of all bits here might be of interest /thread_hijack
  12. Any fuel that meets BS7800 will be fine. No app that I know of for everything, but it's not hard to figure out which pump is super and which isn't. Just keep a bottle of octane booster in the boot in case you ever get caught out (like in the wilderness in the highlands).
  13. @Kyle I did it before anything else, but only did ARBs afterwards suspension-wise. Bracing made the most difference, ARBs gave me more adjustability allowing for finer control. I also did bits of the bracing at a time, the rear bar was a hoot as it made the rear end very lively
  14. Latter are better, but that's not saying much.
  15. Summit Bracing is amazing, made a massive difference to mine. That whole setup you've got there can't have been cheap, but I bet that's worth every penny. Great choice of bits too
  16. It's not fake on the BRZ86, it's a proper pipe running from intake to the a-pillar. It's just too over done IMHO, so loud it actually sounds fake.
  17. Which is why most owners have the OPC warranty, available on cars up to 10 years old. £1k a year, give or take.
  18. True, but http://www.fantasyracers.com is free First link I found in Google, no idea if it's any good! Good idea though, might be fun if a few of us do it
  19. Dafuq I'm not paying £10 to enter that!
  20. Much less percentage, much higher cost. 5% and £8K is nearer the money. High mileage is better than low.
  21. Worst thing they did was pump the intake sound into the interior. Just sounds so false, and so harsh at high revs.
  22. RX8 engine are designed to wear the tips out, and use oil. That's how they work. Approx 5% of M96/97 engines suffer from IMS failure, scored bores etc.
  23. My 911 is mechanically very similar, and my brother owns a CR which I've driven loads. Anything particular you want to know?
