As above. This causes the speakers to make popping noises at high volume. Best off replacing all stock speakers.

I have the infamous seat of my pants vibration for the first few miles when cold... Ususally spells centre support bearing, but could also be gearbox mounting or U/J also. Is there a way i can acurately diagnose the cause....?

Yes, you must have the more expensive high grade paper clips.... I have the cheap ass economy type and they fit just fine :)

Have the cops started using EMP's...? Has it done it for you more than once?

As above mate. Most of my connectors are now secured with bent paperclips. Does the job.

Two words..... Timing Belt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pricey but worth it for peace of mind.

Hey Dewi No probs mate, I have your moby, will give you a bell when I'm in town. Likewise if your ever in Bethesda (allthough unless you're unfortunate enough to live here, I can't think of any reason to want to come here!) you're more than welcome to drop in. Have I given you my number? Haven't been on in a while cause I got the Mrs an Evo3 which proved to be more trouble than it was worth so spent a lot of time on the MLR forum fishing for advice. Anyhow, the Evo has now gone back to where it came from and now she has a Dyson.... shit errr... I mean Smart car.

I paid £140 for a full day open pit as a special offer to make up the numbers as it was supposed to be a Honda Revolutions day but obviously all these fanny type-R drivers didn't buy their cars to race :xxx: Even the longest straight will struggle to see 100+ before you have to brake or end-up in the sea. Each lap is barely 60 seconds - so it gets repetative quite quickly. And then you've got the micro-genitals who go there believing their manhoods depend on them overtaking you on corners, and if you could see their faces in their overpriced helmets youd see them grinding their teeth!! :rant: That's taking it far to seriously and it pretty much spoilt the day for those of us who were there to just push their cars in a "safe" environment! I came away thinking I could have more fun on the road. :x:

I'm just down the coast in bangor and i live my life a quater mile at a time :dance: I have a month left before I'm officially too old :( I'd love a shot at drag racing as I've done Ty-Croes on Anglesey and i wasn't really impressed. The circuit is too small for the price you pay to get on it.

Sounds too much like Sphincter for my likeing. I'd never live it down! "note to self - must find more mature friends"

Wow!! You have an awesome singing voice lol

Rumack : Captain, how soon can you land? Oever : I can't tell. Rumack : You can tell me, I'm a doctor. Oever : NO, I mean I'm just not sure. Rumack : Well, can't you take a guess? Oever : Well, not for another 2 hours. Rumack : You can't take a guess for another 2 hours? Oever : No, no, no. I mean we can't land for another 2 hours fog has closed down everything this side of the mountains. We've got to get through to Chicago.

They pass into another dimention where 300 horses galop on treadmills to the sounds of Ride of the Valkyrie. :wack:

doesn't hook up to the ecu - display module only and does not require you to by-pass the stock det sensor. I had one fitted to my prelude as it was running nitrous. basicly has a series of blinky LED's with the top most one being a red ultra brite one. If you see the big red one light up you're car is detting and in danger of doing serious harm.

Been ofline for a while but before i went there was a disscusion about a possible group buy on custom made one piece prop. I think it was MantaV8(?). Anything happening as i can't find the original post?

Swap you a sorted zed and a dead evo? lmao

Wanted an RX so bad i could have puked about 6 months ago but unfortunately couldn't get the money together to get a decent enough one. That's one car I would not like to end up having a lemon version (no reference to colour intended there I quite like them in yellow!) Had to settle for the trusty Zed... ...for now :)

Thanks for the advice, just so much to remember when you go look at a car!! I was expecting to have to do some work on it, Changing shocks and bushes, tracing vacuum leaks, cleaning out the throttle body the usual stuff I enjoy and am used to having to do, but a complete engine overhaul is out of my league. Ii would have expected an evo with only 70k on the clock to have had plenty of life left in it. The decision to buy this car was made on advice given to me by various people (some on this forum) who suggested that this car would be a safer bet in terms of build quality and reliability than a WRX which we could have got for a lot less. Looks like we've just been unlucky this time. But i'll be ****ed if i'm gonna absorb the cost of this problem, he's a trader, the car is not fit for purpose/defective the problem is more his than mine. How many miles has the RX done on those rotor tips by the way ;)

Wasn't expecting a perfect car (hell I bought a Z didn't I!!!! not once but 3 times!!!) I was expecting to have to give it a good service and change the cam belts etc just wasn't expecting to have to put a new engine in especially as we paid over top book to get one that wasn't a shit pile. But how was i to know when it wasn't showing any symptoms when we had our test-drive!!??? p.s. the MX5 we traded in WAS perfect, despite it's high miles it was mechanically, cosmeticaly flawless, I made damn sure of that cuz it's my job to maintain the cars just like it's her's to cook and clean :x:

I'm so gutted!!!! :cry: We drove all the way up to North Shields last weekend (some 600mile round trip) to trade in the Mrs. old MX5 for an Evo3. Got home no problems and for the first 2 day we were quite happy, although i knew the evo needed a bit of TLC - oils changing and that sort of thing. Came home from a chineese the other night and she asked me to test and see if it had been delimited so briefly accelerated above the standard japanese speed restricor and confirmed that it had, however as i was slowing i noticed something on the windscreen. Sprayed the windscreen and it smeared. Pulled over to find the dipstick had poped up and oil had gushed all over the engine, up through the vent and onto the bonnet, up the windscreen and allong the roof!! :headvswal I've checked the compreesion in the cylinders and they are fine and equal. It's not smoking but the coolant is being forced out and leaving a vacuum when the engine cools. I'm confused :( I can only assume that it's the head gasket or the rings or both, in anycase, it looks like i'm heading back up to tyneside again this weekend :mad: Just thought i'd share my little moan with you guys, I'm off to get seriously pissed :duffer: Oh and I almost forgot... Told the Mrs to take my car to work when the evo started to play up. She'd never driven the Zed before. She wasn't keen due to it's size, height, high power mated to rear wheel drive. But.... She loves it!!! Says she preferes driving it to driving the evo! :cool: Maybe if we get our money back we could find her a ZX and have a 2 ZX family :dance:

Thats funny, and it's an Auto too lol

is there enough of a difference between NA/TT, Auto and Manual props for him to need to see all of the above to make up replacements?

Me2! group buy, group buy, group buy!!!

shit! thanks anyway. Sure i've read someone doing it in this god forsaken country!! anyone?

Have you got any details of where and how much for this 1 piece prop. so no centre support or UJ with them then, no?
