Hey guys I bought cybernets old exhaust and took it down to longlife today to get it fitted to my car. They are stars, I think Steve must have had custom downpipes as it needed cutting and welding to fit the 2fast2cool downpipes (one was also a bit wonky). Anyhow Dan at the Wallington branch did it in 2 hours and it cost me 80 quid, well chuffed. Here are some pics. Cheers guys

Hi all, Just a quick question which im sure will be answered easily but on my 300 when the vehicle is cold the performance is excellent and when the vehicle comes onto + boost the turbos sound great like a boiling kettle/whistling sound. This only happens on normal driving. If i go full throttle this stops. The question is tho when the vehicle is at normal operating temperature the sound almost goes or sometimes vehicle difficult to hear? is this normal? Regards Andy

Hey all My ABS light has suddenly come on. It does not come on whan you turn the car on but only when you have driven a short distance. I have checked the fuse which is fine. Any other obvious suggestions?

living in pothole city is getting too much for me. My zed has been lowered by 40mm and has adjustable koni's on (so I think). Every bump jars my spine and I have decided I want some comfort. Is it wise/possible to have softer suspension so I glide over the bumps opposed to feel every stone in the road? Is it something I can adjust ....... :) Cheers

Is there a difference between manual & automatic ECU's?? Would a Devlin chipped & socketed 1991/92 NA ECU be a direct fit on my '90 NA manual?

Hey all, I am later going to be cleaning the connectors this covers injectors, CAS, TPS, PTU and whatever else, My car is misfiring and for now I will do a simple clean to solve it until payday. Quite often I push down on the 6 connectors that are between the gaps in the plenum and always thought they were the injector plugs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, after looking into more info now I understand they were the Coil packs connectors. So my question is this: Where are the injector plugs and can someone show me a diagram to locate injector’s plugs, CAS, TPS, PTU and whatever else I may need to clean the contacts with? I am looking to get some WD40 or …

Car is a N/A. Right I'll give a bit of background info about this problem: Just finished at the Nurburgring and started to head home. Filled up with petrol, got down the road and found the heater matrix had blown up. Pulled over, a mate of mine managed to bypass it eventually using a bit of pipe running the heater matrix into the car. We started the car back up to make sure there was water still circulating and there was a little rattle at the front of the engine. Now, we noticed my fan is cracked to buggery, so I just assumed it was this, however my friend was determined it was comming from the top end , like a follower noise or something, anyway, he …
