Sorry for the tone, And i apologise if i have critcised you over another matter cause i really cant remember what that would of been :shock: :? And i apologise for this but, I do class tyres as a "Techy issue", Wheels, depends. Usually with wheels, its an looks thing so i agree with general for something like that, but with what you just quoted, i dont agre that tyres fall into the listed catagories. Wheels and tyres are different things in some ways, Try to understand where im coming from. Thankyou for moving this thread again for me. Much appreciated.

Thats the guy i wsa talkin about. minimum of 5 orders and he makes a blended in pillar pod where you take off your a-pillar trim, and replace it with a new one. Apparently thy are really good though i dont if he could do a c cause of the problem i mentioned! :(

I actually posted up here about a custom gauge pod, actually expected you to answer to it! Since though, i have actually noticed something. The gauge pods i've seen this guy make, and they are really good were all plastic/vinyl. Unfortunatly, the C seems to have a thin skin of soft vinyl unlike a SEAT, Ford or Punto, so dont know if it would be possible. A Guy named Gus did e-mail me, we were interested and needed another 3 people, i asked him to find out about this issue and he just never got back to me.... :scratch:

Well actually, I WOULD call say, the 205/40 Pirelli P Zero a performance mod over say a 175/70 'debeca' (or whatever). Tyres afect grip and driveability, whilst the expensive ones are high price. A Good set of tyres could radically alter your driving styles and point to point times over a given journey. I reckon if you said to one of the big brand tyre manufacturers any different, they might tell you otherwise!!!! i actually also cant remember 205/40 17's being standard fit on a factory C..... :scratch: Could be wrong but i doubt it! And oh yeah, for me this aint a general matter, cause i kinda need these in a week... So not just idle chat, quite important to me and id like as many people to see it as possible thanks. If you insist on moving it, why dont you move it to servicing, at least then its relevant!

EXCELLENT!!!!! Thank you very much!!!! I'll try it as soon as i get my car back! In a couple of days....... :(

Pau1, yeah i saw them, but i need them before inters, they've got a two week delivery :cry:

bazgreener, You got a pic of your gauge pod?

Try Autometer i would say

Didnt know where to post this but here it goes, Im lookin for new tyres, probably 215/40 17's (theyre already on) and wondering about prices and whom to go for? shortlist (http://www.mytyres.net) 215/40 Fulda carat exrtemo - £82 Dunlop SP Sport 8000 - £95 205/40 Yokohama A539 £93 Uniroyal Rainsport 1 - £81 Pirelli PZero Nero - £95 Dunlop SP Sport 9090 - £87 Any opinions on which is best/worst are appreciated alsoon prices. Prices are delived to my door with VAT inc. Cheers

What you just said to me just went over my head! :oops: If it weree my Golf, id probably know what you were on about, but i havent a clue about my G60!!! Its going into the specialist on thursday, worth them doing it with everything else its getting?

Bored offshore then? :wink: As for Scoobys, i love the classic ones, just started likin the bug eye ones. New ones are ok, seen better. Kinda Raced an RB5 Came to an abrupt end when the bus pulled out in front of us!!! :mad: :bad-words: Was lookin close too! Scooby was a bit tuned too. Been utterly embarrased by a tuned WRX tho! :oops: Totally puts you in your place :!: . Been passenger in a std. vers. and it throws you RIGHT back into your seat!!!! :D If this conversation moves to Civic type R's (modern) Then ill just say one thing.... I thought they were meant to be fast!!!! :twisted:

Been having a problem with my G60, usually happens when cold, but the car wants too idle at 2000!!!! Which can be quite embarrassing, sometimes cures if i take my foot off the clutch , but not all the time. Its started to do it while im changing gear which is somethin i aint happy about, especially as im takin it to inters this year! Hope it lasts..... Any help would be welcome! Cheers

Right, Im not saying he isnt here for a good reason, but say he is here cause he's in the market for a Corrado? If he's read that time of 9 secs somewhere and cant believe it, then he's going to try and go somewhere else to get a proper figure, and where better to go than here? If i just joined a forum and was looking at getting some answers one some things, i wouldn't be too chuffed if i got that response from the system moderators :evil: Rgds

Darn it Roddy!! You just beat me to that one!!! :wink: I just checked the list a sec ago and you must've just signed in!!!

Of course, if you'r in the market for one, then i think you should know that the whole 9.1 seconds thing is a load of tosh and the official figures are in the 7's

isnt this the same problem where the $tealers used to pry off the trim, and put in a couple of strips of sponge/foam? Just a thought....

vr6storm, Well, you know ill be there, you spoke to James yet?.......

Well, as it is, No, its not chipped or pullied yet. Hence why i wouldn't mind you taking me out in yours, See what im missing and all that... Your lucky tho, cause the day Paul was meant to take me out on his, i misssed his call, then he sold it :( so i've nuthin to compare it too! :wink: But as it stands, mines is hitting 180 brake with over 130 BHP @wheels, more than some readings i've seen on "chipped + pullied" G60's! And i gave a newish Type R a play right up to the ton (on a private road of course. Ahem. :roll: ) the other day where he just wasnt budgin! So, its gonna have to be impressive!!! :wink: You busy this weekend then? Means ill finally have to wash mines, but is suppose...... :lol:

Sorry, CHIP!! BOOM BOOM!!!! :lol:

munkay, Wanna Race??? ;) You'll have to take me out in yours so i can feel the power of this here SNS spud then! ;) :lol:

oh yeah, has your car stopped smelling of petrol yet? ;)

Yeah it was me!!! I thought you was blind cause i flashed you at the roundabout before that too!!! And no, You went through the lights, floored it. i then realised you floored it and kinda joined in. It werent Digi-lag im afraid, it was oh, he's just floored it kinda lag!!! If you think you could of lost me with that passenger in the back then you are sorely mistaken!!! :lol: ;) As it is, im keeping off the throttle too much til the car gets a bit of work done next week! :shock: Just hope it aint gonna be a big bill, tho knowin mine, it will be! :cry:

Who said that??? Cause when you drove Mine i reckoned i must drive like a pansie!!!!! :shock:

Im guessing, you mean the Volkscentre. Im in there on thursday, i could ask, depends why you want to know???

Thats the seats i just missed out on then!!!!!!! The guy has now offered me your lovely "knackered" seats instead!!! Very miffed :mad: :wink:
