If your tracking hasn't been done in a while, and you're going up in size, i.e. from 15s to 17s, you might wanna think about getting a full 4-wheel alignment done at some point. Larger wheels have a greater tendancy to tram-line and pull you about more if out of line, so worth making your car easier to drive and reducing tyre wear. If you're staying the same size (or going smaller? :shock:) then just the balancing they'll do when they put the new tyres on will be fine. Enjoy - and don't forget some piccies for the Gallery section :) Before and after :?: :D

Have you got more details on this? I will be in Derby from the 2nd of Jan to the 6th, and need an alloy refurbed and the tyre changed on the same alloy. Would be great if I could get it done all together!

Stop whinging Tom :) If you booked early enough - it wouldn't cost too much to get your arse over here. As for accomodation - I have a guest 'floor' in my house - so you could have your own little flat with double bed, TV, shower + bathroom. I'll sort you out a CF discount ;) And if the worst comes to the worse - mate of mine is a pilot - so I'll get him to pop over and pick you up, hehe 8)

5 dollar would be flattery to some of the laydees I could bring ;)

I'll be there... Watch them all flock now... lol I can bring laydees if that helps?!? ;)

Do you have an aftermarket stereo by any chance?

If the speed sensor is linked to the stereo somehow, where is the sensor for the spoiler actually situated? Speedo? ECU? Might help "too hot"'s message here.

Whereabouts in Derbyshire are you? Will try and remember to check my workshop manual for where the sender is for you.

Oh yes :lol:

Bit like this?

Easier than my previous car: MX5 :!: So easy in comparison :lol:

I have tinted windows so I can have sex in the car... :lol: Ask my Mrs. ;) I have all 4 side windows and rear window tinted with a medium tint. Works well with the blackberry paint.

The VR6 engine has a knock sensor, so the engine timing is adjusted so pinking cannot occur. Is this not so for the 16v and 8v? I would assume the G60 would have a knock sensor, being forced induction.

Turbo'ing cars brings up lots of advantages/disadvantages - it all depends on how much money you want to throw at the project. Can do it very cheaply, low boost without an intercooler for £1200-1500 (with the people I know) or you could throw £4k at it and end up with something quite mental.... Best person I know is in Bluewater area - but thats about 2hrs 30mins from Bristol! He is a god though - will just make up a manifold etc. on the spot and does anything you want.... Saying that, of course we have some masters on the board too.. pd-motorsport. Have a chat with Darren at http://www.pd-motorsport.co.uk and for being on here you'll get a 5% discount :D

ImageStation stuff won't work. Download the pictures onto your PC (or use the ones you already have) and attach them to a message (use the proper reply - not the "Quick" thing at the bottom).

Haven't checked... will do when I next go out :)

I like the way its easier to have sex in than an MX5. Now that is a mission........ can be done though ;) Erm, yeah, and the electric spoiler... :lol:

Hey Nik... I like the rear lights :D Hehehe

It is with Adrian Flux after playing them off of Greenlight. Also got all mods included too (alloys, tinted windows, induction kit). People have moaned about Adrian Flux - but I have had absolutely no problem, and have my shite diesel van insured with them too - which was a £1k with most places (no NCD on it you see) and they said £714. The full RAC cover for nothing is a boon too.

^--- lives on silly island :lol:

And don't forget my 6 points for speeding! :shock:

Ouch m8! I'm 22, 2yrs ncb, and on a VR6. Managed £1111 fully comp.

I live in Surrey.. And I don't drive the MX5 at the moment, since I can't afford all the insurance, so that lives in the garage and gets a blast most weekends by my Dad. He loves the car - so does my mum!! Slightly surreal seeing my parents driving my mod'd up mota'! :lol:

Well, I keep mentioning it, so here's my MX5... H-reg ('91) with 63k miles on the clock :) And to say its "modified" is, erm, an understatement :lol: It will quite happily hit the rev. limiter in 5th. And comes into it own when throwing it into corners, roundabouts, etc. And the flames, they are due to the aggresive engine timing - give a lot more poke at higher revs, only drawback, flames out the exhaust... damn! :wink: Not quite a hair-dressers car now! :shock:

CAT-bypass generally give you a bit more noise, and if you're lucky, one of two extra bhp. Depends on the pipe though - it is said that some straight CAT-pipes do actually cause a whirl effect which increase back-pressure, so you actually loose power. The Corrado is one of a very few cars that actually have a very good exhaust system on them in the first place. Most Jap cars can free up 5-10bhp when replacing the exhaust with a performance, stainless steel system and de-CATing. The ol' C though - not a lot happens. So its your choice. You may find the emission tests are less-forgiving when you are de-CAT'd - the car has to be running right. With the CAT in place, you have a larger margin of error. My MX5 is deCAT'd, and it fails the emissions when cold, but fine when retested, so gets through :D
