Welcome to the club

If you don't want to do the penny trick then there's a company near me that will re-gas your boot dampers £30 for the pair which will give them enough strength to lift the boot with spoiler.

 

Fakeindian had it done.

 

Its not to do with the Gas struts tho, its the springs in the little black bump stops that need strengthening.

People with heavy spoilers often have to lift the boot hatch and press the release button at the same time to get the boot off of the catch as the springs aren't strong enough. (Not the end of the world but it means you need to use 2 hands at once which is a bit of a pain when trying to put something in the boot)

The penny trick is where you twist the black plastic spring casings to release them from the boot lid and insert a penny into the spring casing to stiffen the spring.

This does work in a few cases but the penny can actually cause the boot spring to push through the boot after a while - it has pushed through on mine slightly and cracked the paint.

Hope that made sense

Hint: The penny trick was a good idea in theory but in the long run damages your boot (pushes through)

Any idea what I'm talking about yet?

Pretty cool

I think that car would be pretty sexy without the wing

sorry, does anyone?

 

a few people have the ebay knockoffs

I have a replica/knockoff HKS and I'm picking my car up tomorrow so can get some pics

Nice job Tim but IMO the C4S is a fugly car

I'm still trying to figure out the best way of attaching it to my dog without a)him attempting to eat it losing it

he needs a helmet!

I strapped it to my girlfriends collie and she weed herself

I like them

 

I don't get all the dislike for Ford We drive Datsuns ffs

+1 I did wonder about the badge comment

Are you ever going to get it back? its been ages in "repairs"

I went to pick it up last Saturday but the post office wouldn't accept the insurance confirmation printout as valid insurance so I had to wait for it to show as insured online or wait for the certificates to come through.

Going again this Saturday armed with road tax

Great choice of car - absolute head turner

Stick around Alex

If its any help My JDM only has 2 airbags, passenger dash and steering wheel

Oh and its a Varis bonnet, not a yaris

Cheers, its my pride and joy

Do you need XBOX gold membership to download skins and stuff? Seen some nice pictures of rally replicas and stuff that im not skilled enough to create

 

Where I use my xbox i have no internet access, but if i can download stuff without subscribing I could bring my xbox here and see if I could download some stuff

 

Oh and thanks to Forza3 having all the nismo kit on it and the rays/volks I also have made a replica of my own car. Unfortunately im slow driving it as i dont like to see it damaged Any other car I own is fair game to ram other off track though

Yup, just a membership and money on your career

My current car

I'd prefer the video feed be wireless TBH

and i want a BJ from angelina jolie

@ Husky or anyone else with leccy knowledge

 

Wouldn't it be easier to snip the battery wires and make an external battery pack for it?

and an external feed to the memory for it so you could have it mounted in the front or rear and then just have it hooked to the mains battery and take the memory out when you wanted to get it to the computer...or even put the recording buttons inside so you could stop / start it from within the cabin of the car... husky husky husky!

 

Next thing you'll want Husky to make a cable so you can have a video out attached to a headunit that allows rear view camera feed...

I'd prefer the video feed be wireless TBH

that is pretty bad, although he does look cool on the truck smoking - and we all know smoking makes you look cool

+1 He can be a part of my gang anytime!

Happy Birthday Martin

On the other hand, why risk it?

 

So many track days are at risk now because of the NIMBYs complaining about noise, and it would be beneficial to all to not give them any more ammunition. Bearing in mind you'll make no extra power at all regardless of what exhaust you're running, is it really worth it? I can understand the want to get the K1 on, but there's really no need to rush it.

 

 

 

Without bungs it is bang on the 105dB limit so you'll fail, with bungs you should be fine but do check on the drive-by as with or without bungs you're very likely to fail that.

 

 

I've called the trackday organisers and I've been told that there are no drive by noise tests at Mallory Park apparently there is just the static test if you are considered too loud when driving round. Might take the stock exhaust in the boot just in case

 

Don't take the stock exhaust in the boot, just take the bungs and a rubber mallet, then you can fit the bungs in 5 mins to quieten it down.

I found the best tool by far was a rolling pin
