Hey Forum, As you may or may not know my car is on the ramps right now getting a full energy suspension master bushing kit fitted. I decided to diary this process to give honest feedback as to the kit itself and the results gained. Note my car is a JDM spec auto in light tune state:- (Mines 'light tune' ECU, Air filter, Stillen intercoolers, HKS ALC, Blitz Boost Controller running 13.5psi. Stock exhaust. No Dyno run as yet so maybe 330ish HP?) I am deliberately not upgrading my dampers and coils with this work as I want to assess different mods one at a time. Note also that the stock bushes are all currently in good condition (despite being 13yrs old) and there is…

Does anyone know what would be the easiest way to get a line in 'headphone' type socket into my car stereo system? My new phone has a headphone type jack socket and I want to be able to plug it into the car stereo and play the music on the phone in car. I have a cable just need somewhere to plug it in! Would I need an amp with a line in or something like that. Currently the ice is a headunit with speakers in the normal places. Thanks in advance Dave

Hi, im looking for some Veilside C1 skirts and C1 rear apron, I cant get hold of nemesis performance despite numerous amounts of phone calls and emails which dont get answered. Ive tried other dealers but they all seem to use nemesis as their suppliers and they all say orders are backing up because no one can get hold of them. It appears that nemesis are re-locating but even so this all seems very unprofesional and a strange way of getting business, 'cos would it be so hard to get calls re-directed and answer emails to get some business. sorry for spittin' my dummy out but im gettin' a bit miffed cos ive finally got the cash to get my car sorted and now i cant get hold of…

Fault symptoms are: Does not shift from 1st to second (goes to rev limiter), lifting off will allow it to drop into 2nd. When in 2nd hits around 3000 then looses drive and hits rev limiter, also happens if you use kickdown (very embarrasing). The only way to safely overtake is to drop out o/d and hit hold button, otherwise your going nowhere. TPS connections cleaned, TPS voltage set to .42v, did also have revolution sensor fault indicated but turned out to be corroded connector in engine bay. Both engine and gearbox ecu now showing no fault codes. Fluid looks Ok no burnt smell. Checked online manual but no combination of above fault :headvswal s. Thanks in…

Went for quote on having seats recoverd part of the door panels in that fake suede centre consul and glove box and bit under steering wheel, he said he will use the best leather and said it will cost £2000 :eek: is it a fair price or a rip off.
