Hi all,had a phone call today from body shop, saying the skirts i have will not fit unless they spend alot of time trimming, re shaping and grinding etc etc.Bought the skirts from car mad styling ww style, the skirts are fine no problem with them at all, but where the car has been welded on, the sills and the start of rear arches etc over the years the shape has changed slightly.Question is should i persevere with the skirts, or should i get the sills smoothed over and repainted.When i had the phone call i thought they were going to tell me the car was ready for collection job done.They also removed rear bumper and rust has eaten away the lower half of the rear arch so b…

As part of the emerald conversion on my car, Pete's and Martin's I'm going to remove the steering ECU and replace it with one of the Emerald's output channels. On our cars it's mainly to tidy up the foot well and free up some space really. Got me thinking though that as the PWM tables switch with the maps it would be possible to have different steering maps for drift / track / street etc. Anyone think this would be useful? Was thinking for drift it might be best to have more assistance so you can get the lock on quicker or reduce the assistance on track for more feel.

Can someone point me in the direction of some replacement side light bulbs for my Slicktop. A link would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance peeps :thumbup1: I need to replace the birthday candles that currently reside there!! :tongue_smilie:

Does it matter if you have non synthetic oil in you engine and you then replace it with fully synthetic. do they mix?

Hi can anyone tell me what the difference is between a tt auto box and a n/a auto box:wacko:or will a n/a auto box fit a tt engine:helpsmilie: Thanks paul

without the brake disc in place, I just want to check something. cheers

Say you buy 5 litres of fully-synth , you change your oil and filter . You have 1.6 litres left . How long does it " keep " ? I`ve got some up to three years old ! ( due to resorting , reluctantly , to Kwik-Fit and their semi-synth , in between ) .

Ideal weather here to start getting some work done on the zed ;) haha so I've pressed the old tension rod bushes out using a couple of sockets and a vice but in each arm I've got two metal bushes about 1cm thick each that have remained in the arm. Are these meant to come out with the old bushes? They don't look like part of the arm cause they're in different places on each arm. Anyone got any tips for getting them out cause I couldn't budge them - but that's what made me wonder if they're meant to stay in. Thanks in advance, James
