does any one know where i can get a boss to fit me new momo steering wheel, i want one that keeps the hicas working. i have a momo boss at the moment but removing the hicas unit has left a hole around the base of the new wheel. cheers "T"...........

I posted about my misfiring a few days ago. well it did it again slightly, I turned off the TC by the dial and then accelerated and it was fine. Turning is on again I slowed down and accelerated again and it started to miss fire. Ovbiously a problem with the TC. What do you guys recon? Could it be this dodge soldering on the ABS that I did. But I thought if its on its on and works all the time. COuld it be a bad TC box? Any one? Even if you dont know for sure, tell me what you think. Stuart

My oil seals are getting worse since fitting a boost upgrade and I'm now getting a fair bit of oil in the lower left hard pipe (the one next to the throttle body pipe) I have heard about smoke from the exhaust but I don't seem to get this just clouds of smoke when cooling down after a long thrash of more than about an hour. Will this oil damage other components or do the turbos eventually die and I just get no power? I just want to know how long I can stick with these turbos as I've just had to spend a grand on major service and radiator.

i baught the red one and polished a bit of my car and then took the chip fixer, and ranit across one or two of my little marks, and it is no that bad. has anyone elses tried it?

As most of you know I've been selling the parts from my dismantled 300ZX. Theres one part I'm VERY suprised I havn't sold yet. I'm on about my catylitic converters. What I thought someone would want to do is buy my Cats, punch out the inside of it (thats the bit that reduces the BHP) and then put them on their car. You could then keep your original cats in case you need them to pass the emmissions test on the MOT. I know some people put custom made through pipes in place of the cats, but as far as I know (some people disagree) this breaks the law, which I believe states that a car sold new with a cat, has to keep its cat, even if it was new before they were compulso…

Hi all, over a year of ownership an I am jumping on the increase boost bandwaggon and f*** me has my insurance quote gone thru the roof anyway... I have ordered a JWT ECU from the states on an exchange basis, but what I want to know is:- Will I be happy just using their boost jets or should I try and find the money for a boost controller.

Has anyone here porked a porker? Ive baited the fuck out of Porsche drivers this week and not one of them took me on! My theory is, that they are shit scared of the certain humiliation awaiting them should they even try. Stick that one up your snout and snort it Porker! Ian.

You may all be aware of this already but I wasn’t so I’ll post it anyway. The other day I was going through the tedious job of completing those on-line insurance forms, must have done six or seven with quotes ranging from £550 to £1200, average being around £700. I completed the elephant proposal form and got a figure of £620, at that point the other half came in and got a little pissed off that I had not included her on the proposal. I went on to inform her that with her limited driving experience etc etc it would push the premium through the ceiling. Anyway to humour her I amended the proposal to include her as a named driver just to prove my point and to my a…

Been doing Jap foglight conversion to reverse lights today, all works wonderfully well BUT the standard 12v 55w red indicator bulb looks a little dim in comparison to the orig fog light (more pink than red!) - will this pass MOT specifications? Note: got the red bulbs from Kevin Cooper Motor Factors in end (he has ALL colours) Cheers Robb
