Goosehonk got worse
Mine started honking he moment I changed the induction kit, VERY loud every single time, just got some 2nd hand non-honking recircs which im hoping will remove the prob! Although I did just find this: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/archive/index.php/t-8332.html Interesting explanation, dont know if it explains why yours has got worse though....

Speed Meter
I had a play with one before and they are good fun, the model I tried claimed to work out your RWHP if you told it the weight of the car!!?!?!? probably Max-Power Horse power though.. it would probably ask if I had "PHAT STICKERZ" on the side of my car! I like this bit in the product description from the link: "G-Force is what's keeping you in your seat as you are reading these words and if it wasn't for the seat you would be accelerating to the ground at 1G (32 feet per second per second). "

Cars and hookers? Eh?
similar subject, anybody read maxpower lately? There's window dressing and theres softporn, MP defo going the soft porn route, adding little captions with arrows like "great norks" or "spank that ass" to pics in the magazine, makes me cringe anyway.....

Lpg
I guess it would work OK on an NA, dont thinkg a TT would be too happy with it... my buddy had his Jeep converted, saved him a fortune. you will actually get slightly worse MPG on LPG but as its so cheap you will be paying the same for fuel as if you were getting 40mpg on unleaded.. Am I right in saying LPG is a lower octane than even the crappiest unleaded thats why you get the poorer performance?

Tyres
Depends on the size of the wheels!!! 17" alloys come in all different shapes and sizes.. well actually they are pretty much all the same shape (circular) but the widths will differ! :) The profile on a 17" should be 45 ZR 17 though....

Thatcham Alarms/Trackers and insurance
Just been thinking, when I insured my car I had to tell them I had no alarm cos I'm missing the fitting certificate for my cat1 that is fitted. cost about £80 more for the insurance.. (hyperformance) Friend who just got a boxster didnt bother renewing the tracker subscription cos the insurance company (adrian flux) said it made bugger all difference to the cost of the policy!!!! Cos with a tracker it's pretty much impossible to get away with the car! I'm more than a bit surprised that with all the hype around approved alarms and gizmo's like trackers why it doesnt really make much of a dent in policy prices!!! Anybody else have similar or opposite experiences???

Removing the Silencers as well as CAT's?
There has been a bit of a running debate about de-catting on here of late, if you search back a bit you will see a survey getting info on peoples experiences with decatting. The theory is that by removing all the back pressure the standard seals on the turbos may fail causing a fairly labour intensive repair job. there were plenty of people on the survey that had removed thier cats and had no problems at all, and one or two that started smoking pretty soon after the de-cat... IMHO im not going to bother "just in case" it causes a problem, I think I can live without the couple of extra horses removing the cats is supposed to provide....

Absolute genius!
