HGave just been to wheels in motion and had the suspension geometry put back somewhere near to what it should be. The only problem is that the rear camber is adjusted as far as it will go and is still not of tolerance. So the quiestion is wll the replacment upper arms be any better. Will they have any more adjustment? Which ones should I go for and how easy are they to fit? Darrell

I am having a problem with one of my headlamps not working which is causing the other side high beam to come on. I have a UK car with the dip-dim system and think this is either where the problem is or i can find where the problem is from here. Has anyone had a similar problem? I have seen threads where people got a dip-dim bypass instructions from the Zcentre when buying HIDs. Would someone be able to tell me about these instructions? Thanks. Tom

Right here is the second thread in a day (not bad for me). Can anyone recommend a paintshop in Newcastle? Car has a few minor scratches and stonechips I'd like to get touched in before I sell. What are my chances of getting the magician himself (Peter from PPS) out of hibernation for one last gig :bow: :). Cheers Rich

Hey guys looking for some advice... I had my light inserts chromed via a member on here a couple of years ago and they looked mint but have now faded with a few spots appearing through the chrome. I want to get them done again and wonder who's offering the sevice these days? - Danny (DTA) always seems to offer quality but its just a bit pricey for me as I am really doing up the car to sell. - I hear a few people have sprayed them chrome - I read a thread about this from a while back - but am wondering whether the effect has lasted or whether they have faded? - is anyone offering the chroming service these days? Cheers Rich

Just a quicky can you tell from the outside of an ECU whether its auto or manual. I have two one with a big 22 on it and one with a big 23 on it. My understanding is an auto ECU can run in a manual but not the other way round. Thanks Chris

Have a great day mate. :duffer: :duffer:

just a update on my poor battered and bruised zed :( transpires that to day (after 3 weeks of chasing him) that he doesnt have insurance, surprise surprise :mad: bodyshop quotes have come to £1300 and thats without the overheating problem :( hope fully that is just a nipped pipe or fan issue *fingers crossed* i have decided to cut my losses and not go down the insurance route myself and have not bothered with the police either. have been in touch with the lad tonight and have drawn up a contract of payment which is well under bodyshop quote 26 x £25 = £600 the reason for my undeniable good will is that with the car off the road till summ…

Anyone know of any guides to fit boost gauge to the a pillar including light cable. Thanks in advance :duffer:

Team, I am looking for some set-up help here on my travels I have managed to pick up an original set of Mine's Suspension for my twin turbo. :bow: Manufactured in japan to a custom mines specification they are really really nice units. What I know so far is that the spring rates are as follows 3.2 - 4.5kg for Front and 3.0 - 4.0kg. for Rear. They are 32-way adjustable for damping and appear to have 3 pre-load settings via a circlip design on the shock body. Does anyone else have these units on their car as i am looking for some starter settings for fast-road driving. Thanks in advance

Does anyone do theirs on a regular occurrence? One thing I've neglected to do unfortunately is replace mine which will be done shortly. How often do you lot do yours?

just received my flywheel for a manual conversion and bloody hell it's heavy. how much meat do people take off these or do they just buy a lightened one

spotted ths afternoon parked up near byker looked well sweet

as it says. ive got the money to but a 300 tt im in spain and im comming back on the 16th nov to look for a car. but i dont know if i want a auto or manual??? weekend blasts says to me manual. day to day driving says to me auto. ive just sold my 350bhp evo 6 tommi mak and that was a fab fast car for a blast to the coast but did my head in in traffic. but in all fairness i only used it odd days so it was ok. im thinking of using the 300 a bit more than the odd blast??? so what do you think is best???????????? stu. ps how does a 300 tt compair in performance to an evo????

Evening all, A quick question. Whilst searching the threads I found conflicting information on the uk spec wheel offsets. One stated : Front 35 and Rear 45. The other : Front 45 and rear 35. Can any one tell me without doubt which is correct? Many thanks.

Anyone know where i can get a cover to fit my LWB TT properly as i'm taking her off the road for the winter and don't have a garage. Cheerz James

Hello Chaps Just need abit of info on the cooling for the autobox fluid, the car is a jspec. As far as i now there is no specific oil cooler for the fluid, is has a feed going through the rad, please correct me if iam wrong. how is the fluid pumped to the"cooling coils" by what means???? and just out of interest, if say there was some kind of restriction in flow i take it, this could cause the box fluid to overheat and boil, if not what else could cause significantly increased temperatures to the autobox fluid. Cheers Dutchy.
