No pics at the moment but I have the Porsche Turbos with extra deep side bolsters and they look amazing and suit the car perfectly. To top it all off they are fantastically comfortable and hug you so when you throw the car about you stay perfectly still in the seat! Porsche every time!

The Eaton charger off a mini only produces enough boost for a G40 as DieselGolfWales said. You'd really need an Eaton charger from a merc for the G60. But again you can pick them up relatively cheaply although not as easy as the mini one! I think this is more like the one you'd need but check first as I'm often proved wrong!!! :lol: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mercedes-benz-EAT ... dZViewItem

I would let Darren at G-werks have a look and work his magic!

I owuld honestly say get someone else to do it unless you are competant at spraying. Spraying is hard to get it to look good and best left to the experts - and spraying from a can I've never seen a very good job done from a can.

I've met the said Mr Clarkson from a previous top gear shoot some 9 or 10 years ago and although he may well have changed I don;t believe he was ever "up himself!" I was there with a friends company - Paramount Performance who somewhat modify jaguars with the first model of the XJ450 - http://www.paramount-performance.com/jaguar-xj.htm And he kept coming to talk to me and my mate as we were sat on the grass at an airfield in Oxford having a cigarette and watching thhe world go by instead of trying to crawl up his ass like most of the suppliers were. I think his Big Man persona is more of an on screen thing.

My next door neighbour who kindly got us all the copy of the top gear G60 video used to go out with the Producer for Fifth Gear!!! I met him once and can I just say - WHAT A TW*T!!!!!! He came round to her flat on his 600cc bike and didn't bring his bike chain so spent the entire evening refusing to go out and sat all night on the window sill "making sure it wasn't stolen!" It's not like we live in a rough area. Also he still lives with his parents but similar age to me! And drives an old rolls royce! And I must just say he treated my neighbour (and very good friend!) dreadfully (politest word I could think of) So can we all take a dislike to him and collectively rubish his program!!!!!!

Funny thing was I only bought the car 2 weeks earlier from my mums work for a quick sale at a whole £700. Insurance paid out £4000 book value and the obligatory whiplash settlement! Thank you very much!!!!

Shame I threw the pics away of my last crash years ago! I had a the first shape mondeo boot style, stopped at side of road, bright sunny bank holiday. 30mph limit Not another car on the road - barr the woman in the Volvo V70 that didn't see me and plowed into the back of me at 60mph!!!! She went under my car, ripped off both back wheels, pushed the boot right into the back seat, shoved me 20 metres down the road into a ditch and a lamppost! OUCH!!! -Needless to say the car was a mess! Luckily I emerged reasonably ok except for whiplash and bruising!! And all the police gave her, after admitting to travelling at DOUBLE the speed limit AND not looking where she was going -because she was "lost" was a producer!!!

Exactly how I always present to clients!!!! :lol: but not the full of sh1te part - honestly!!!

I think the main things you need to remember are to keep it interesting. It can be all to easy to get bogged down on trying to find out all the facts about the differences between them - But remember they will know about as much about it as you will (unless they are enthusiasts!) So keep it interesting, light hearted and most importantly - get them involved in the presentation, ask them plenty of questions - and keep them open ended (I'm assuming you know all about the different questioning techniques??). The more they talk, the less you have to and the more interested they will be in you!!! Even if it's all a load of bull that you tell them, if you make it interesting and a bit fun it won't make a bit of difference. But if it's all factual and you presenting at them you'll lose their interest very quickly! Hope that helps!

Ok so final little bits of wiring to finish off under the bonnet on my G60 before the engine goes back in!??? I need a switch live to wire my aquamist up to, somewhere near the battery, the closer the better, can anyone tell me from what and what colour as being no engine at the mo is a bit difficult! What wire from the lambda probe would I wire up my new Air/Fuel ratio gauge - colour again please???? Think thats all for now!

How do I work out what Jet size to use in my Water Injection
Blue_Joe replied to Blue_Joe's topic in Engine Bay
well (30/100)x15% = 0.345 But I got 0.5, 0.6, 0.7mm injectors with my kit so does that mean that they are all too big?? -

Blue_Joe replied to Blue_Joe's topic in Engine Bay
Got a float switch all installed - to wire it up presumably I need to wire the float switch inbetween a 12v supply and the LED and the earth of the LED direct to an earth? I'm not the best with electronics! -
SFS are very good hoses! I believe was setup by one of the ex-directors of Samco or something along those lines I heard!

Need to install a water level warning led into my dash to tell me when my water injection level is low. I'm using the standard Washer bottle for the Aquamist setup and have relocated the washer bottle elsewhere (actually inprocess of doing so!) I know Henny said he had got one out of a volvo but need advice. I need to be able to modify my tank to take the sensor but not sure even where to start looking. Then have that light an led that I'm going to install in the dash! Anyone????
