Going to install three gauges in the conter console under my stereo. I've found these ones as they have two in one HERE Thought it would be good cause I could have: Water pressure/temp Oil pressure/temp Boost. They are mechanical so will need to run pipes, they come in 7foot, 9foot for 12foot. Anyone know what length i'd need? Also, if its a mechanical temp how do they work?? cause if its just one pipe to the gauge I cant work out how the temp would read properly.

Has anyone used one of these? It's a Sealey magnetic camber/castor gauge - almost the same as it says in the title to this thread!! Are they any good? Not as accurate as laser alignment, but good enough to get the castor near as damnit?? Cheers!

Ok it looks like the garage i picked my car up from have managed to get tyre shine on the tread of the tyres as I tried wiping the tread and the same muck came off as from the sidewall( kinda explains why the back end was so slippy ) Any ideas on how to clean the tread to get it off, was wondering using something like fairy powerspray or just go do a mad burnout.

If you have the same front end as me, "Kaze" where are you side light fitted? Need to get this sorted as its not going through the MOT otherwise

Does the Yank MPH gauge vary from the UK spec one? If I go out to the states again this year, might see if I can find one. I'm guessing, if anything, that they max out at a low speed or something.

Could someone do me a favour. I am going to order some silicon Hose from my local supplier. But I am 300 miles from my car. Could someone tell me the ID of these hoses and the length that they are so I can get it a little longer. Thanks in advance, Dave G

Just wondered what I can do....if anything about my speedometer. When I bought the car it was 300kph now its been changed to mph but still goes up to 300mph so looks daft! Also I want a glo gauge kit and I understand these go up to 180mph. Any suggestions on how to get it sorted and of course how much it will cost Thanks Rob

I'm at a los here... How do you remove the antenna base ??? I can't get my antenna all the way down. Not even by force. And in order to replace the antenna I need to get the antenna base of. but how. The screw on the antenna base is in the way.

Help!!! I have an auto box problem and can't figure it out. It seems that my car won't shift up into top gear on occasion - usualy after I've just used kick down. I'll be doing 70 plus (!!!) and revs are 4000 plus and I seem to be in 3rd (or 3rd overdrive. Has anyone else had similar problems? Also the power light keeps coming on even when it is switched off. Don't know if that's part of the same problem. Anyone got a clue??

What is the minimum speed the cruise control operates at? I have a 90 Jap spec tt auto and it wont functioon below 45-50 mph. Is this about right or do I have a problem?

Ryan Just updating my records on my car and was wondering what chip did you put in my car when you fitted the boost controller? It was the white TT fitted with the Blitz Colour. Thanks

H***JBJ parked in Astons car park Ipswich today 1st February. Red import TT and looks like it has just had some spray work done to it.

Assuming induction kit, exhaust and boost raised to, say 12-13psi.... What does anyone recommend? Install an Apexi AFC (or similar) or a chip, or have the ECU remapped? The idea being to avoid lean running and det, and get a few extra bhp too of course :) while not really planning to take the tune to any further stages. I await your wisdom... Yours, Chris

My HKS intercooler tuned up today, but i have no instructions with it so noooooo idea how to fit it.. does anyone have some instructions or know where i can get some from? Also its a bit dirty..... whats the best stuff to bring it upto a shine? was thinking alloy wheel cleaner? i know i need to be carefull as the fins can bend easy!
