Ok probably most of you know wot I´m talking about; eachtime I hit the beach here in Mallorca or go to Ibiza and I see a british car I always noticed many of them have this big Decal bumper sticker in the back window Yellow that states GB! I love collecting these decals and I particular love this yellow one..my question is..where on earth I can buy this? I searched through Ebay differents tores in the Uk and none of them shows them..they only show the blue one with the EU flags and stars...if any of you folks can hit me up on where I can get one would really appreciate that buddies! Thanks:dance::duffer:

hi all i have a lumpy engine it does not pull smooth from standstill misses then picks up ,,also it doesn,t feel right as you accelerate .. its a non turbo manual ,,i don,t know about this but the receipts for the new exhaust say the previous owner requested it be decatted and loud as poss which annoys me rather a lot to be truthfull so would that contribute to the lumpyness :mad::headvswal:headvswal:headvswal

ok, ive got a twin intake kit (two apexi's T'd up into a single pipe) and have read several threads about what also needs to be done, but getting confused as some further mods only need to be done with the doolz or seperate filter kits (wideband o2 sensors/twin maf/apexi safc/fook knows what else!). as my kit still only feeds into one pipe, is it just a matter of remapping the chip or is there something else i need to do?

no, theyre not smoking, but i want to smoke them! is this legal? and with a decent beam behind them (say HID) would they still provide any light? im guessing this idea's not going to last long.... :smw:

Chris here Just had my nissan in the garage and been told ive possibly had water leaking into the rear cylinders. (Im a mechanic in the army so i know a little bit but not much about the zeds as cant get to anything to learn) This morning the garage informed me that i would probably need a new head gasket in the near future dont mind as i would pay anything for that car but was wondering if i could get the turbos replaced at the same time to save money due to labour (with the head being off for the gasket change)? what would you suggest are my best options? You may wonder why i would want to change the turbos but thats just me after more power.

Hello! I have a couple of problems, with my UK TT, she is going into a garage over the weekend, but I wanted a little advice as to whether I will have an heart attack with my garage bill, I have a oil leak which I have no idea where it is coming from, the oil is dripping into the passesnger's inner wings and splattering down the underside of the passengers side, I have taken the plastic stuf off in the wheel arch and there are a ton of wires with oil on them! Any ideas? Car should be running at 1.4Bar due to boost jets fitted, on new turbos, however cant get the boost gauge needle past 1.0bar , New auto box is holding on to 2nd gear too long and un…

Hi, Can someone tell me the difference betwee a stock N/A and stock TT on the following? 1. 0-60 2. 60-10 3. 1/4 mile I have read somewhere that the 0-60 is about the same and the 60-100 is where it differs? Any other advise on the difference and pro's, con's of each welcome!

Finally got the old heap back on the road but the MOT tester said there was an issue with emissions - rich at idle and lots of hydrocarbons, he let it go anyway as he said it wasn't a prob for a jap import and especially at that age. He did say it had a prob of some kind though to make emissions that bad. I've been messing about with it this evening and found a couple of things which I'm not sure about, the AAC is reading partially open all the time and varies with RPM - is this correct? Secondly, the MAF is usually around 1.26V at idle but occasionally dropping to zero volts. I'm pretty sure the MAF is ok as the car still revs ok, is an occasional zero reading …
