How on earth can they work that out? Do they have stopping distance tables for every make/model of car/whether ABS was an option or not, together with an instant weigh-bridge under the road surface to check how much load you were carrying at the time and real-time recording of the weather? Stopping from 30 mph in a Jaguar Mk 2 with four passengers on a cold,wet day is rather different than doing the same in a lightly loaded Smart Car in the dry. Not to mention that Stone Mastic Ashphalt used by many road authorities to reduce tyre noise may actually increase stopping distances by up to 30% for the first 12 months after it's been laid... :? Im pretty sure thats right, but like I mean, if you drive thru a light thats only just gone orange at 30mph(in a 30 limit) its not illegal, and you dont get flashed(I know), where as if you crawl past it, you blatently could have stopped and get flashed. Seems obvious to me they'd have to impose this sort of system, obviously we're not talking ridiculous accuracy like you are suggesting, because obviously that would be impossible, but there must be some sort of margin, and you know a red light camera is a little more sophisticated, than orange light, car over line, flash, of course it is!

Yeah I agree, you can go on an orange light if its changed from red, but if it amber changing from green, and you go thru it, the camera measures your speed to see if you could have stopped in time!

They go flat when u roll them :(

The 3 prong bit is has a bolt that goes thru it to hold the silencer box on!

Ever heard of google? http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial_s&hl=en&q=dents+plus&meta=&btnG=Google+Search

So you didnt pay for it?

Yeah its how many took it off again cuz they couldnt stand the annoying gay noises it makes while driving at part throttle....does sound good at full throttle when u change gear mind. EDIT: Nice thread title btw :)

What size is the pulley? You need 1642mm for a 66mm pulley, according to http://www.bahnbrenner.com/media/php/catalog.php?pid=492&catid=262 but I think the standard one is smaller, and you need a 1633mm

You could always measure it with a piece of string!

I have one, RSR ported, cost nearly £1300 from http://www.ls-cartec.de/, its just over 2 months old(I paid for it on the 6th of september) and has covered around 5k miles. I dont have the receipt unfortunately, but I can show you my paypal screen from when I paid for it....looking for around £650, with 65mm steel pulley or 68mm alu one.

It will most likely reverse onto the ramp, but better to go to a motorsport/racing place to get it done!

Well that's just daft. Some may argue that riding a bike in jeans is too... :lol: or doing wheelies in jeans, or even riding a bike at all!

Yeah, else the sidelights will switch dipped headlights on!

Cheers everyone for the heads up! NickVR6, I think I'm luckier than that since I had no seatbelt on :angel:

You can get 5l of hyper clean from wilcos for about £13, you'd need something to spray it with, but its pretty good shyt! :)

Cheese riders!

the front or rear one? How did you support the engine if it was the rear? With a trolley jack IIRC, yea it was the rear one, was on a passat, but I'm sure it was pretty much the same...

The engine mounts on both cross member at the front and sub frame at the rear, I've changed a sub frame with no jig, just axle stands. Not a horrendous job, just takes some time.

bcstudent, happened on the watton road from norwich to hingham (b1108?), a little way after the crossroads before barford, I think theres one corner, then then next one is a bit tight going fast...

Yea only me in it, and I'm ok, got a bit of a stiff neck, and a cross shaped cut on my cheek where the screwdriver stabbed me :oops: Came round a corner bit too fast, road was slippery as fcuk, back end stepped out tried to correct it but it still hit the bank and just rolled, landed slap bang in the middle of the road on the wheels facing forward...

Its dead :( Will be breaking it, and will list parts soon, PM me if you need anything.

Wouldnt it be easier to leave the stereo where it is and put the guages where the ashtray is, or am I being stupid?

Mines fairly dirty, only washed it at the weekend! :x

I got mine from http://www.germanplates.com, took about a week to arrive, from germany!

I think if you could hear the supercharger in the car it would have gone bang by now...Try using a screwdriver on it as a stethoscope!
