  1. FK1000P on wheels is great, use the pressure washer and you brake dust slides off.
  2. Had uniroyal rainsport 2s on my old 106 best wet tyres Ever.
  3. Tbh 4wd or rwd is the sAme once you break. If you drive a nice car why not get some winter tyres?

    Decided!

    Yes your right and I may be wrong but in day to driving your pads won't glaze over nor will they hit the tenderise barrier where they need better cooling. I have done but there is so much choice and people give different advice- hard to know which is best... I am only a daily driver around town... Go for standard brakes with no grooves or drilled. Drilled might crack and grooved ones will skim your pads. You dont need super track discs or anything. But I thought that was the whole purpose of grooved discs? To keep the pads fresh and not glazed over. TBH your best bet though is from a trader on here like zmanalex

  6. Will this work on an import?
  7. 172 with decat and remap can give you up to 45 mpg. Don't get a cup though. 172 is suprisingly comfy.
  8. I can ONLY repeat what I have been told by the seller, can't I? I think you will find it is straight back from the cats.......Its the same as mine. straight back from the cats. Jaysus - I wasn't having a pop at you chill I was querying what the seller's saying!! Its not straight back - the two pipes form a y shape I think it is a true duel Vik, I think they make a Y shape to fit where the standard ones go. It doesnt look like the is a 2 into 1 Y pipe but I could be wrong . Deffo not real HKS one of the copies from ebay.
  9. Im a noob why are you seam welding it? Is the welding rubbish or just to strenthen it?
  10. It's not really that simple. There is a video online showing what can happen. But you might have no steering you don't replace the fronts. Also you will have big problems when it comes to braking. If you don't plan on running tcs then get some part Worn non standard sized winter tyres.

    aftermarket y-pipe

    IMO the only reason why the japspeed and the likes have flexi's is because of the shape its like a C shape. The stillen one has a better straighter design. Tarmac Il probably have one of those passenger side motors off you after xmas if you will still have them
  12. One near me il fill up all the cars in my house. might only be £4 a car but it all adds up.
  13. Im starting the teddy bear/cuddly toy on the back of the tow hook on the 350. No one has done it on the 350z Il get pics up when I get my car back.
  14. It was in the new scotia homes
  15. shine is the replica; Shine usually the best of the replicas.
  16. haha, trust me, with 9 years expeience with jaguar and owning a ford, i would 100% say that the mondeo is a better car, the rear suspension on the xtype is useless, the mondeo is simple and ive had no faults with mine. the 2.0 diesel jag is a 5 speed gearbox, the mondeo is a 6 speed box, so better economy. Depends how you define better... A Mondeo is a better car than a Zed in many many ways, but none of the most important ones... Yes but the 350 isnt based on the mondeo while the jag is. Wasn't comparing them just saying the use of the word 'better' is very loose... Fair enought but the jag was built worse, had worse spec, drove worse but you was charged more for the pleasure of owning it. Just the badge that sold it .

  18. An x type is a Mondeo just more expensive and more shoddily built.
  19. I take that bet. Thanks for the sponsoring of my radiator cap... Guess you're one of the lads that won't pay up when it comes to the crunch though. Only messing with you buddy just a bit if banter, no harm ment. I don't want a fi 350 though, IMO I agree that no one will stump up the cash for it as it's alot of money. Are you still going mid mount? Why not try running it about 400bhp then go forged when you want more power? I may be wrong but running a 600bhp car may spoil you car as a daily if you use it as one. Also I doubt you can use more than 400bhp on the road. All IMO of course. Also if you want it done cheap I would get a container and ship them to USA and get it done there. You could also ship back other stuff on the way back.
  20. £10 says anlid never goes fi
  21. I saw a blue roadster outside your house just off Arbroath road a mate of mine lives there. Another silver import on b ferry road with n1 spoiler and nice alloys. Give me a shout if your on here or i'l leave a flyer under your window wiper
  22. I take it you dont have bose? If not forget the rear speakers and just amp your front ones.
  23. I average 40 to 50 miles a day and it costs me about a full tank every 6-7 or 8 days.
