    NO GRIP!

    i got marangoni's on my storm, (they were on it when i got it) and they are sh**e!!! No grip in any corners, sliding all over the shot and spins at every junction, without fail, am definately getting some new ones! I had falkens on ma last car, were very good!
  2. yeah, i'd like all the bulbs for all the switches if poss, would be cool!
  3. where can ya get the led's from, and can you change the colour of the computer etc too? wouldnt mind changin all mine to blue or summit, cant decide!
  4. Hi, i bought this vr6 manifold of the bay for a mere 20.00 so i had one to stick on as a spare when i get mine polished up or chromed or somethin, but was wondering how to tell if its a 2.8 one or a 2.9 one, the part numbers are 021 133 233 k mbf3 cheeers
  5. get na alpine cda 9833, they r awesome h/u's!
  6. you can yes, but if you turn it around, the loom is even shorter, as the + and - terminals are then on the wrong side of the battery instead of too far away, i.e, moved from left to right hand side and vice versa! Not a stupid question, tis prob what i'd have thought if i'd read this!
  7. i got the same problem, i had this battery in may last car, a mk3 golf, and it fitted fine, but as you say, in the raddo, the terminals are at the wrong end of the battery! Mines a deep cycle gel jobby, really want it in there, might just stick it in my boot and run a split charger or summit? or failing that, just simply extend the loom
  8. so where do i get one of these consoles from? i want one, they look awesome, much better than 52mm's imo! if someone can post the number up it would be great, cheers! How does the voltmeter work, i take it that it gets its signal from the ignition live wire?

    OBDII?

    hi, i have heard about this obd1 to OBDII setup change, and wondered, just how does it work, what kind of differance does it make? Is it easy to fit and what parts etc do i need? Also, the deciding factor, is it cheap enough to do? I've heard it can be doen reasonably cheap, is this true, cheers
  11. hi, i got my head unit wrong, i got the 9833, is it the same setup as the 35? i looked earlier and cant see how to change xover for front and rear, only to change each frequency! Should i set the rest up the same or what, i want mine to sound awesome,i got al the the rest gb stuff!

    VDO Guages

    hi, i'd like to get some vdo guages for my dash, to put in the stereo slot, and move the stereo down to the ash tray space, would like voltage, oil temp but dont know what the 3rd usually is? Where is the best place to get some dials from,and is it an easy job?
  13. i've got this problem on my storm too, noticed it on the way home, had me worried to start with, stopped as soon as i turned seat off! any help would be great, cheers

    VR6 Cams etc

    awesome stuff, where can ya get a 6 branch from then? I want to n/a tune my car, can be bothered with forced induction any more, i just replaced my standard vr with the pictured storm, and dont want to go crazy with the mods, as it'll de'value it!
  15. awesome, sounds good to me, keep us informed, cheers
  16. hi, i got all the gear from audioscape too, and am also having difficulty settin it all up, sounds pretty good at the minute though, took me about 2 months to get it that way though, constant fiddling, and all my settings are factory on the 9835r too! Its a mental head unit, i have to agree, but havent got a foggiest how the hell to use it! would it sound better if i changed some of the settings on there then?

    Tyre pressure

    what about vr tyre pressures?
  18. ok, had a look last night and found out the same thing, plugged it in, everythin works fine, cheers RW1, you're a star, not only did ya help me fix my headights, ya helped me again, cheers bud
  19. i couldnt help the running low on fuel as i had no cash to get some more! Have changed both oil pressure switches on top of the pump bit next to oil filter, and also changed the oil temp switch, but still got the problem? I think it must be an electrical fault as i have no outside temperature showing on my computer, and i dont have have an oil temp showing on the computer, or a coolant temp showing on the guage? Also, the pump hasn't gone as there is still new oil getting pumped upto the top of the cylinder head! Can anyone tell me which wires it may be? The fuse box is like a bag of spaghetti on these things???
  20. also, could it be anything i might have knocked by the fuse box, i had the box loose yesterday as my headlights werent working propery, so had to sort that out, maybe i knocked something?
  21. ok, well i've just checked both wires on the top of the pump, a yellow and a blue one, and a seperate wire, all 3 all still connected,and dont seem to be loose in any way? Would lack of oil pressure make the car run funny from low revs then? Sort of feels like its dying on you when you blip the throttle,then it picks up again? Should it be ok to drive~?
  22. will check, the only time i've been in my engine bay is to stick my arm up the front from underneath to pop the bonnet,(bloody lever clip is broken??!) will check what ya say, and see what happens
  23. hi all, got a problem with ma car for some reason, was ok yesterday when i drove it last, but got into it tonight to take it to the petrol station to fill her up, and my oil light came on on a beeper started sounding! Oil light stayed on flashing and beeping until i stopped, i filled up, drove off, and within 20 secs, it was flashing and beeping again? When i got home, i checked oil, and there is loads in there, just below max line, and as i say, has been fine until tonight! Any idea on what it could be? The car has been run very low on fuel yesterday, but i cant see why this would make the oil light flash? Please please help as im supposed to be going to santa pod this weekend, hope its nothing major, fed up with big problems! cheers
  24. right o, will check the loom tomorrow, and see what happens, what the prob may be??? cheers, will let ya know how i get on
