Hey guys, hope you all had a great christmas and are going to have a blinding new year :) Slight problem: My osr taillights have BOTH stopped working. Changed the bulbs over to see if it was them and it isn't. The circuit is dead. Brake, indicator and front lights are all fine ust the two taillights. In the interim i've whipped power from the other side to light em up, but i want the proper system restoring. Any ideas? By the way there are no fuses gone and the relays are all fine. :rant: Rich

Hi, While I've got the headlamps out I thought I'd look at at annoying problem I've had since putting in some H.I.D lamps. One bulb only come on 50% of the time and it's deffo the bulb and not the ballast or holders. Can anything be done with the bulb or does it have to be replaced?? If so are they all the same fittings and where's the cheapest place to get a bulb?? Cheers Vijay

just took the big end shells out of the car today, had a bit of chew but got there in the end. having inspected the shells the number six set have worn a bit, showing the copper. the crank is still nice and shiny so i,m gonna order a new set for her. my question is...are there different size bearings in these motors?? the reason i ask is when i have remove the shells i noticed that if you try and pair up different sets they look different diameters.... any info? where is best place to order them and how much you reckon. cheers :)

what would it take to get over 400bhp out of an N/A? reason for me asking is that theres a bloke round my way with an N/A whos boasting a 460bhp figure. :confused: surely this cant be possible without major internal engine rework and nitros. he's supposably a member on here but i dont know his nik name and he takes it racing regualy :rofl:

Can anyone tell me what these wheels are. I thought they were Dare V2 but the centre is different. Much appreciated. Fill

With all this talk of chrome plating and mirror polishing I keep thinking maybe I'll keep my stock wheels for the future. But then again 1. I'll probably never do those things 2. They will sit rotting away in my garden 3. They're jdm so the back wheels look like Kate moss after skipping a few meals. But are they worth selling? I ask because I reckon I won't get much money for them so whaddya think? Al.

does anyone know if you can drift out a single broken stud and put in a new one or do you have to replace the whole plate with all 5 studs etc cheers

I am ringing round to get a quote for next year. Elephant quoted me 570 quid FC all mods declared, Excellent I thought, I'll take that that is where the problems started. Because some woman reversed into me last year while I was sat in my mates front room. They said it will take my premium up to 800 punds, even though the claim was made from her insurance, and was then cancelled by myself as it was more convenient for me to repair the damage myself. How is that so?????? Any answeres or advice will be greatly received. Scotty

anyone got 255 width rear tyres fitted to 18" rims , if so are there any arch clearance issues Thx

Grey Z southbound on M1 today (wed), you over took me around Barnsley or further north and exited at Meadowhall. Tailed you for a short distance, I doubt you would have seen me....I was in stealth mode.....my car was shaped like a dark purple volvo 850 full of kids n toys :wack: BTW m8, your smoking a bit @ 100mph :x:

i waved and just managed to catch your eye i think!

As some of you may know I've been selling - or trying to sell the 300 for some time - but not really giving it 100%. But now that has to change because...............my neighbours are all taking the p*ss out of me badly now !! They think I've opened some kind of dealership !! Mark
