For about a year now I've had a problem with the windshield getting greasy when driving in temperatures below 15 celsius or so. It gets worse as the water temperature builds, I suspect that the engine coolant flowing through the heater core is evaporating because of the heat, then the fans are channeling it onto the windshield where it condenses on the colder glass creating a greasy film. Is it possible to completely shut off the fans under windshield? Even with the controls off completely I can still feel air flowing out of the windshield fans. I think another problem is that it's very damp inside the car, I keep some crystals in the passenger footwell all the time …

As stated in the title I was looking for help regarding my De-cat situation Purchased a Japspeed decat for my JDN NA online, came yesterday, took it to the garage to be fitted today, And long story short they couldn't do it. They put it down to there being no holes in the de-cat for the lambda sensors and also the EGR (I think they said not 100% sure) would also cause a right problem and would take quite a while to take out to fit the decat pipes So I Was wondering did anyone else have this problem? or has anyone fitted de-cat pipes themselves and found it easy/hard? Help would be greatly appriciated, I have a couple of bad pictures below th…

Well as soon as Mark called to say the huuuuge box was arriving I shot in to Derby to collect the pieces for Bob n me. Its been a bit of await(as I expected) but well worth it. Bob has a new rear bumper to replace the damaged one and I have a rear diffuser for my trackday slicktop. Mark has had a fair amount of stress and aggravation to get this deal done for us all so I wanted to thank him publicly on this thread. Even after delivery it isnt simple for him as some numpty in Peru or Germany got the fitting kits mixed up. With a bit of help from me and looking at Bobs old bumper that is now all sorted. I couldnt resist just putting the splitter behind my spa…

Seriously, what is it? what the **** does it do?

Hi guys quick question I'm getting some new alloys at the end of the month and was wondering what problems you good old guys have already run into !? So here goes I'm ordering Front: 18" 9.5s +12mm offset ( 245/35/18 ) Back: 18" 10.5 + 15mm offset (275/35/18) (anyone local roll arches):whistling: Thoughts?

Right I've pretty much finished the refurb on the shocks, but I noticed that it's stamped on them "Do not heat or dismantle, Nitrogen filled" So my question is this... Should I wait to put them on till after the respray, as the car will be getting baked a few times. The oven goes to about 80 for an hour but this can be adjusted.. Temp and time. Anybody had their car sprayed and baked while these were fitted?? CheerZ Neil

Hi Guys, hope you dont mind me posting this. My Daughter is doing a sponsored walk for the help the heroes charity. It got me thinking why cant we do a sponsored drive? Havent thought about the logistics as just came to me hence typing it down. Maybe we could do a regional tag event, passing the batten between regions and getting sponsorship for the miles clocked up. so start in Jockland, travel down east England, through wales and back up the west coast. it would be a driving event and a mini meet for the two joining regions? would need the local reo's to talk. Possibly a daft idea, but encompasses the best of both worlds, driving our cars a…

Yo guys, as you know i looking waiting for some autostada alloys to pop up, soi went to check the size of mine to make sure i buy a matching set in the same size. i went to have a look measured and come up with these measurements. i thought these alloys only come in 16" and 17"'s mine are saying 18.5 and so on ...are these alloys measure differently? or maybe mine have been converted? 1 2 3 4 5 thankz

Hi all. I`m having issues with cold starts/idle/running in that it will start and idle on high but as soon as it drops it chugs, hunts drops and dies. I`ve swapped maf (cheers joely p) and eliminated that, replaced the water temp sensor last year but still have to check. No vac leaks as far as i can tell. So i`m now onto the idle valves. I`ve removed both, cleaned and ohm tested but my query is this. All i can find re the ohms is 10 ohms for the main idle, the idle/aircon compensator i`m not worried about as i have no air con. The bi metal idle valve (air regulator) 75ohm. I`m getting readings of 9.4 ohm and 75.8 ohm respectively . Can anybody tell me whether these…

was around a fellow members house, trying to help diagnose a cylinder out. Checked spark, there is a spark, checked coil pack, the coil pack is fine, checked basically everything, when doing the screw driver test on the injector, you cant here it, the spark plug is dry and not wet, even changed spark plugs with a known working one, changed the coil packs with a known working one, it makes no difference if the coil pack is plugged in or not, the cylinder isnt firing, i checked for corrosion on the injector plug, but its clean, infact really clean lol, and checked the wires. Only thing i couldnt check was a signal to the injector wire and the injector its self. …

Hi Chaps, Can I just run this past some way-more experienced eyes? :bow: Just to see whether I'm working this out right for the Rota Grids (18s) that I was looking at. Working from the standard sizes [Front 16 x 7.5 45mm Offset and Rear 16 x 8.5 35mm Offset] I'm thinking for 18 x 9.0 Fronts with an Offset of 25mm and 18 x 9.5 Rears with an Offset of 22mm would give the following; Front Inner Clearance of +1mm and Outer Position of + 38mm Rear Inner Clearance of -1mm and Outer Position of +26mm IF that does sound right, would the increase of Outer Position warrant any arch rolling / flaring do you reckon? I'm thinking that it wouldn't but hey, I'm st…
