  1. Would also think it'll slow down the reaction time of the throttle should you need it i think actually chooses higher gears and allows the car to rev more without transferring too much torque to the wheels. Thats what it does in our xc90. If you change it back to manual quickly while pulling away, it pulls away in 3rd instead of first. +1 so your actually driving the engine harder but less output to the wheels.
  2. Look under the bonnet and check if you got a old Jdm battery which will be tiny. Change the terminals and put a uk battery in which has double the power. Also snow mode is pap. It doesn't give you better mpg probably worse. Use it , it's dangerous and useless in the snow.
  3. My next car might a w211 e55 they look and go awesome. Tuning in the e55 is crazy not sure about e63.
  4. I think they're gram lights 57s pros. Very nice wheels are they not konig afterburners? edit nope im wrong
  5. some megs apc should do the trick
  6. if the car is aligned properly you wont have any worries
  7. IMO falkens aren't great for clearing water, deep water at low speeds you get a shuffle which isn't nice. Winter tyres are awesome for clearing water though.
  8. Possibly but when you have spent much money on nice why not take the time to do it properly. And for every 100 people on hi fi or speaker forums say they don't need breaking in 100 people say they do so it's up to you who you chose to believe. Sums it up pretty well. The reason that you're told to give it 30 hours or 100 hours is to allow your ears to get used to a totally different sound than you're used to, rather than just taking the whole lot back straight away and saying it's rubbish. It's a manufacturer customer relations ploy, not a technical/scientific one, because people are fickle things who get used to hearing stuff sound a particular way.
  9. I'd imagine it's to bring the stage higher, closer to the ear and on axis. It's not a myth, Cheaper ones yes but expensive ones do need run in especially Kevlar ones the sound usually changes and the speaker loosens up. Sending silly amounts of power to the speaker quickly might invalidate your warrenty on your expensive speakers too. The same if it's -20c you wouldn't get in and blast it. Some people say 80% of full power some people say 40% how are you planning to do it NotFub as 100hours is a long time.
  10. No bose build decent systems and mainly indoor cinema or big halls and so on. But come listen to Notfubs car and you will think bose is pretty crap. Also as far as SQ goes clarion is much better than bose.
  11. very very nice, If yoi dont mind me asking could you tell me how much lee charged roughly though PM please? If you would rather not thats cool. I bet that sounds amazing. Running active off the 9887r?
  12. Oh no I want to fit mine this isnt giving me any confidence
  13. Pretty clever if you ask me, why would someone who says turn it down to Kanye West be talking abou their music video.
  14. Might have been uprev mapped before your ownership? That would remove the CEL. I very much doubt it when I first joined alot of people was saying it was impossible to do, the remap that is.
  15. I've got some h dev silenced decats but no cel?
  16. water/oil on the belts or they arent tensioned up.
  17. Maybe he wanted the engineering of a german car and the engine of a japanese. My brothers 986 is much better to work on then my car
  18. Yes but then he should have just got an m3. I'm sure it's due to Japanese parts being cheap in japan.
  19. Tbh the worst thing about running a 350 at the moment is depreciation. Values have fallen slot recently. Might not keep falling though.
  20. IMO i would get a nikon or canon. Most cameras quality and feature wise are the same but the lens is whats its about IMO. Choice, availabilty and cheapness 2nd hand where things that made me choose a canon.
  21. I've used Lee before and he is a good lad. He has helped me with stuff with no payment to. Yes he is busy but I bet he will refund/send the stuff out as soon as he knows about this.
  22. If you can get a good price group buy for JDM owners?
  23. nice one will get this done. Is it the 2 parts you need?
  24. So its basically to make the outside world think that you can drive properly Thats what I thought, surely it would only make your own life harder. good luck though
  25. Why?
