yeh yeh wot dave said

light blue all the way! i have seen pics of cerinas and saw marks at the midlands meet last month, his is a beauty! seen one even lighter blue in leicester which jus looks stunning

mines got lotsa very small cracks at the bottom but thats because my cars lowered and where i live thers zillions of ramps. i always slow right down and crawl over them but sometimes even that isnt enough to avoid th horrible scrape

wher do you work? and about wot times do you drive up n down london road?

might even get more on

i suppose a the website logo is good enough, just need to put three of those on a page and hey presto

oops dint c that advantage of staying at home, no bills to pay and leicester unis just round th corner am doing an engineering degree, this my 2nd year, goin on a placement next year. been offered a job at holset engineering in huddersfield (they design and manufacture turbochargers ;)) i also work part time so that just about covers my costs, still owe dad 3grand that he lent me for th car tho

do we have any club flyers or anything that we can leave on other 300s we see around? yaseen

iv seen a white one a few times driving thru town, thrs also a grey one always parked in th side street opposite the big hsbc bank near clinton cards. il always be on london road (near victoria park) if am goin to uni or pickin my brother up from college at around 3.50 to 4ish wot colours your car dave? have u got a skyline too?

lol i live close to th city center so i pretty much been everywher within the ring road

lol too right! its bloody ridiculous

thers absolutely loads in leicester but most of them arent on or dont know about this forum is there a club flyer or sumink that we can use to leav on cars when we c em parked up

red uk zed spotted today lunchtime with aftermarket spoiler any1 here?

looks like they were both in for repairs at sturgess on aylestone road, a dark blue one and a dark grey one anyone on here?

am not sure mate iv got so much revision to do, exams in three weeks, iv had 4 weeks holiday so far and i still aint started doh!

came home from work tonight, parking behind th banger and th rear wheel slipped off the kerb (i have to park half on kerb cos thin road and wide path, have to revers cos too low front) and the car slid under the th rear bumper of my banger literlly lifting it up, reversed out and seems like i got some pretty nasty but light scratches (hard to tell in th dark) hope some t cut will sort it out :cry:

nope, think i got one or two of their phone numbers, il give em a ring tomorrow, if thy dnt get back to me then tough

bttt

no mate thyv been manufacturing it for ages now, am doing an engineering degree and have got a job there starting on august so il be able to get alot more info then, just wanted to know if the fact that they make the turbochargers for diesel engines makes any difference. holset are the worlds leading manfacturers of turbochargers for industrial diesel engines, ther a sister company of cummins engines who are even bigger than caterpiller

VGT: Variable Geometry Turbocharger "A more effective, though complex, method of turbocharging uses a turbine stage where the swallowing capacity is automatically varied while the engine is running. This permits turbine power to be set to provide just sufficient energy to drive the compressor at the desired boost level wherever the engine is operating. This is achieved by varying the area of a nozzle, a set of guide vanes that control the flow through the turbine. Conventional designs pivot the vanes to achieve different nozzle areas. The Holset variable geometry system is unique in that the vanes do not pivot but slide axially. This innovative approach ensures a high level of durability and reliability, essential for commercial diesel applications. Variable Geometry Turbocharging yields several benefits in engine matching: Good transient response Good fuel economy. Increased useful engine operating speed range. Enhanced compression brake capability. Reduced engine swept volume and package size for a given rating"

yeh but guys have a look at the link and ul know what im talking about

thanks alex but im not really after one at the mo, mine still sits right, just wanna know how much a new one costs so th buggers can pay for it!

remember that thread quite a while ago about some australian (i think) guy with a supra who was tryin to make some kind of sequential setup or something like that with a small turbo and a bigger one. well have a look at this: http://www.holset.co.uk/flash/index.html go to products & technology then product technologies then variable geometry i am starting work there in august and have seen one of these in action and th results, compared to a similar standard turbo the torque curve for this one peaks faster, peaks higher and stays at its peak longer. am not an expert but am sure that makes it alot better, only thing is, is there a differenc between a turbo for a diesel engine and one for a petrol engine? yaseen

does anyone know how much a new/replacement door card costs when i took th drivers side off to trim it i found the bracket that holds it to the b piller had ripped clean off th back of th panel i know th alarm guys did this cos thy didnt take off th pillar trim but i didnt know that at th time. anyway iv informed them and i need to know how much a new one costs so they can pay me, (might not get a new one neway ;))

oh yeh definately do it over th tweed on the centre console lid!
