  1. pm'd you with some info mate EDIT - if anyone else wants it just ask, it's too long to post.
  2. isn't an ABS system a pump, a brain and some speed sensors? Fit them as factory and then use Vaux diagnostics to tell the main ECU that it's there and fit the warning light? I may be over simplifying somewhat but surely if the same model has it as an option...
  3. headlights-left-on buzzer's come in kit form from maplin mate, about £5 (or grab one of something else in a scrappy)
  4. :lol: I imagine it would if it's all one system
  5. :lol: I was going to say! Have you seen the roads round my house!?!? Walesy was only dropped 40mm and had to drive like the boot was full of nitroglycerine.
  6. Here's a 'chop I did to sort that bl00dy ride height - coilovers are definately the way!
  7. Thanks for the comments guys, CorradoVR6-n.o.s, used to mate, left just before they paid the MD off £4m for arsing the entire company up. 16v, I must admit - I'll be sorry to see them go, I think big spokers look awesome on the C Can't really remember why I didn't start a thread initially, but like you say Dave, could get interesting. Plans can go one of two ways atm, I'll know which way for sure at the end of the month. HINT: either way, I won't need to change the thread title 8)
  8. Seeing as I'm coming up to my 1000th post and she won't be standard(ish) for much longer, though I'd start a thread of my own. SPEC: 1992 2.0 16v (9A) 17" Kahn RSR Tinted rear lights Drilled airbox Weird non-armrest rear seats Eyebrow spoiler Here's a pic after a 400 mile trip last summer (click for full size) And one from when I first got her (Sept 04) More pics to follow.... Cheers, Cole

    Gauges

    mate, finish it in plastic, it will look awesome. get some acetone, some black abs shavings - mix them together and cast the faceplate into the centre console, sand down and voila! OEM
  10. for other ideas, there's a thread on the clubgti forums called "the 9A thread" or something opf the sort - do a search.
  11. is it worth it if you're looking to change the dash ultimately mate?
  12. Hi all, Got no ETKA at work. Can somebody please help me out? Is a three letter engine code relevant to just the engine block or is it the application i.e. turbo version = AXX non-turbo = BNY so does this mean they are essentially the same except turbo and loom or are they likely to be different blocks too? Cheers
  13. no, that's right (technically). The McLaren SLR tank empties in 19 minutes at full chat so I doubt the Veyron's much different. lol never thought about it like that but i doubt a fuel stop would half the average speed, good theory though 8) be careful you don't become dillusionsal though (just finished watching a beautiful mind:lol:)
  14. There's a thread somewhere where someone's fitted Mk4 clocks - very tidy. Surely a tach signal's a tach signal though? Have a look on the megasquirt or sds forums EDIT - Here they are!
  15. I would say people's definition of "without serious chopping" would vary wildly. There are no dashes that you just put in place of a C dash (not strictly true I know), and anything else is a possibility with the right skill/knowledge/credit card! TVR dash in a C springs to mind 8)
  16. NTL have it on pick of the week so you can watch it whenever, dunno if sky do something similar? (I'm guessing you don't get cable over there)
  17. That'll get the Teutels looking over their shoulders 8)
  18. Dunno if anyone's interested, but I know of another one of these boxes for sale (assuming the chap confirms the model on Monday). PM for details..
  19. Whoever asked "when did overtaking become illegal?" hit the nail on the head. It seems totally frowned on and I have no idea why. I drive a lot in West Wales and there is an almost polarised level of skill, some people will just zip past smoothly and safely when there's a chance. But the majority are just as happy to sit 10ft from your rear bumper (whether you're being held up or not), then when they thinks it's safe, pull out and floor it in 5th - no acceleration at all so you end up having to slow down to let them back in! Another ppet hate is the queue of cars scenario. You sit at the back of the tailgaters and leave a safe distance. So then the cars behind you overtake into the gap in front (because you left a safe distance) and cause they can't overtake the tailgaters ahead, you just end up one car back, and then the next car does and you're two cars back....etc.etc. which unfortunately leads people to taligate and the vicious circle continues.
  20. that black top on red looks awesome.
