Hi, thinking of some 2 fast 2 cool de cats inc elbows. Question is, my car, a '92 TT shorty, has a few plugs and things in the original exhaust pipes just about in line with the gearbox (manual). Do these need to be fitted or can I just junk them all, or some of them? Thanks,

Blimey it's misty in there!!-had to come out for a fag! :D

Just received a phone call from Phil at Blackmoor Service Station , it was all silent, then I heard an engine start up. Woohoo its running. Still a few things to finish off, interior has to go in. Then get the alignment done, as part of the project had all the bushes done. Then run her in and then get it booked in on the Dyno for mapping on the AEM which should be here tomorrow (thanks Smithy) and then start driving her again. One happy chappy :) Will post some pics hopefully next week Barry

Hello All Heres the thing,recently put some adj upper arms on my zed, and had probs lining the 3rd link up with the bearing to get the bolt through, anyways after getting the hump and tw*ting with a hammer ive trashed the shock me thinks, as i got a big pssssssssssss from it, gas i presume. anyway got the arms on try to drive it, and think it was just running on the spring itself as can here it "twangin". So got a full new set of shocks kyb, which i am yet to fit, i cant really afford to get some new springs till next month, can i run it on the stock springs with the new shocks, or will it be a waste of time, just wanna get her back on the road quick, as i'm missing …

If you know any give me a shout please?

Hi All, Anyone know where I can get a rear skirt to enclose my new Japspeed Zorst exhaust (apart from Zcentre). See my sig pic. Cheers, CT.

The job is practically done except wiring, on the old auto brake pedal there is a brown electrical socket on the right hand side, i dont have this on the manual brake pedal. What is this for ? do i need it ?? please see pic ;)

Hi all, Just a quick question... I had my car painted by 'Leonado' a few years back, and an excellent job he did, but my original rear spoiler is now looking very dodgy, and the red paint has developed some nasty white spots from living outside. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a bodyshop in Kent that could fit the spoiler and blow over the whole car for a decent price? Shame, Leonado isn't still going otherwise it would be on it's way back to Newcastle! Thanks Tim

Happy Birthday Russ :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: Can think of better days to celebrate your Birthday....like a Friday :D

As above, could someone let me know how far these come out from the body of the car? Cheers, Leigh.

I'm after a couple of s/s silencers to fit mid system, anyone know where to get 'em? Cheers, Trev.

I've got an after market oil pressure gauge, race logic (or race tech?) with a direct oil feed so pretty accurate. Hot at 2k rpm reads 50psi. High rpm hot reads 90 - 95 psi, which is almost off the gauge! Is that normal or a tad too high? Cheers, Trev.

In kickdown mine changes gear at 7100 RPM. Ideally I'd like it to change at 6500 (without lifting my foot lol) but is there any way of adjusting the box to do that? Trev.

Parked next to you this evening in Somerfield car Park, burnham sea front. You may also have been in the next door Wetherspoons pub same time as me but since I dont know what you look like I did'nt spot you LOL

hello everyone. dont post much but up for another answer from you all. Still recovering from my weekend up in scotland to buy some tein coilovers what a drive from east anglia!!!! - managed to grab a set throught ebay for 385 quid - some of you may have been watching them. Now all that is left is to fit them along with veilside rear bumper and leather seats and then its on to the engine. Im toying with 3 ideas at the moment - do i keep the vg30 dett and uprate it with gt675rs turbos along with requirements needed? or due i go for an rb26 lump out of a gtr and modify that? or go for a single turbo conversion on the vg30 dett engine? Looked also at the v8 option…

as above... does anybody have a recommendation of sum1 out there who can do it? cheerZ Joel.

just fitted a series 2 ptu (cheerz wozzer) to isolate a misfire, 5 cylinder fault and took it for a quick blast up the road and back... only to find... coolant leaking onto the drive and a trail of coolant up the road! :headvswal i looked under the car to no avail... dry as a bone! :confused: the coolant was cold on the drive so i assume it leaked when i left it idling on the drive and stopped when i took it for a blast! guess iv got another fault to trace 2moro! :(

im going to change the water in the radiator soon and change the coolant in the coolant bottle aswell. are they easy to empty out and how do you do it? cheers Nick ;)
