Is this just 1 amp powering 1 sub? I'm using an Alpine V12 mono amp that i got on ebay with a 10" pioneer sub (forget the model now). Housed in a sealed custom mdf box. Alpine amp is definately good stuff if there are any going on ebay right now...

Andy, I had just ctrl+c'd that web address from the url bar. You beat me to it!

Well I got a email from ess. Still available, shipping is included in the price to the UK. Can only be used with the non airbag steering wheel, and it also connects to the cruise control wires on the wheel (not understanding this part...) Just watched the vid in the tt.net thread. Gotta say I found it quite hard to tell the shift delay times. Maybe AndyGP could give us the lowdown on the shifts etc? :)

http://www.ess-racing.com/ Just reading about this while eating my lunch at work. Looks quite interesting. Anybody here got the kit? Whats it like?

Aye yes I get this when doing a boost leak test. I shove a bit of tube with the end capped off over the dipstick hole when I do it.

Flow out the nipples is good mate, like I said i bled 3/4 of a litre through each corner with no bubbles in etc. Just been out in it and while I do have braking it's certainly not as good as before. New pads I know, but foot to the floor = serious 'I can't stop' emergency stop! Roughly I would say i'm putting 5x less force onto the pedal and it's bottoming out it's travel.

Well this is just it - I've had 3/4 of a litre come out all four corners now with no air bubbles etc. :/ Followed the guides people have posted on here and been reading all the search results under brake bleeding, how the smeg do I get this trapped air out?

Put some new front pads in a two days ago. Opened up the bleed nipples quickly at the same time as pushing the pistons back. However i forgot to clamp the lines. Anyhow I didn't test it with the engine on until yesterday - cue the problem that I can push the brake pedal to the end of its travel with not much effort. *****cks says I, must have gotten some air in the lines when i opened the nipples to push the pistons back. So today I have been bleeding the system. I've followed the procedure in the 95 manual. It tells me to bleed the abs actuator too, which is bloody hilarious because 94+ zeds have no bleed nipples on the abs... Anyhow I've bled and bled the system today, there is no air coming out the calliper nipples, no gurgling noises from the abs actuator. Started the engine several times to build pressure in the booster. I even disconnected the bat & abs like the manual says. 3 litres of Dot4 has gone into the system. I've checked the inside the firewall where the rod pases through to the booster - all dry etc. Problem is the pedal still reaches the limit when pushed. There is resistance obviously as the pads start to clamp the disc, but then it just sponges all the way to the physical end of the pedals travel - was never able to even push the pedal that far before I changed the pads. Brake booster holds pressure just fine. What to do next? Either there is *still* air trapped inside? Or could it be because the new pads have not bedded to the surface of the disc (there is a lot of movement as the pistons clamp the pads on the front calipers..) Help me please because after 6 bleeding hours today i'm getting short on hair. :P jay

Check it here someone posted a pic of this car recently on here. Wonder how much it'll go for..

What bout keeping the pre 99 bumper but modding it. This has crossed my mind as my front does need a respray... Smooth/fill away that silly 10mm wide line recessed band that runs across the top front. Smooth out the usually grey band area that the indicators/fog's sit in. Make it all flush and nice. Add stillen lip.

I just investigated this for work because of a trip to France. Roaming charges are horrific. Couple of points to consider: UK payg don't roam. Contract UK mobile broadband does roam but for example Vodafone charge £10 per 5mb in France. Can't buy pay as you go in France because well they don't do payg. Then you need a French bank account for a contract!

That looks absolutely sweet Si!

Get some black flexible superglue on it. Don't use accelerator on it though as it'll frost it up white.

I'm guessing you are using spraycans when you mentioned plasticote? Not going to get a high build primer / filler in a can unfortunately... Do you have access to spray gun / compressor? If you do I would do a couple o coats of 'Reface' and it would be smooth and sexy.

Aye yep tis a groundloop. I introduced one over the weekend by grounding a line driver somewhere different to the amplifiers (testing it out) All your audio equipment need to share the same grounding point!

and to think we joked yesterday in work about niping up william hill and putting at tenner on schumacher returning to F1 this year... :(

what Headunit you got mate? we can find out online most likely what the rca output voltage is. Seems that all the top HU's have 4volt preouts as this means less interference on the audio signal.

I flush mine through with thinners first to get rid of the oil. Then drained all that out. Did a final flush then with acetone.

Wow i want. The swb rear bumper is different in fit to the lwb I bet? If it is then that is a crime!

where'd he get that diffuser from on the Bayside blue zed?

Just been out to 'In N Out Express' at Cribbs causeway to get it regassed. Bloody system has a leak. Guys there can't find it via the engine bay and they only have shollow pits to inspect under the car. They are gonna book the car in with a specialist which is great. The downside is it could take all day to sort out meaning silly £££ :( Anyhow if any locals need aircon regassing, check these guys out. All very proffesional, clean & tidy - a bit like Protyre.

Was setting up a display for McLaren who wanted the models we make on show sandwiched between their stands. I took a quick trek around the area to see what else was going on.

Yeah there were definitely teeth on show from the driver lol
