  1. I think this is the most likely place to post this. Anyone have an ipad and been able to find something to create sigs? Seems applehave limited it so much that its useless
  2. Might be time to just realise im gna get beat by people with less superior looking cars but have cash ah well, got a few tips from this topic and made myself look like a proper car retard lol. Ill stick to vinyl wrapping til i can learn more before posting up these topics
  3. Ive just changed pads to yellow stuff but the previous pads still seem to have alot of usage in them, the reason i changed them was because the car brakes didnt work at all when braking at 70. Not tried it yet as cant drive car atm, but is it fair to say its because the old brakes were cheap ones and they heat up too fast? Or could it be due to the brake fluid? Discs look fine
  4. I know this is gonna sound daft, but might aswell ask it while im on a roll. Those gucci looking silicone pipes, are they designed to improve anything or just look good. On their site it says enhances performance, but thats on every product site. And the radiator fluid, radiator keeps car cool at higher speeds/revs, is it worth buying expensive stuff or does it not really make a difference unless ur always tracking it?
  5. Agree with above + the changes you are proposing will make a noticeable difference and make the Z nicer to drive and more responsive - but realistically they won't make a dramatic difference in pure numbers. One of the main benefits of the uprev is that it gives removes the lazy throttle response built into the standard map in the first three gears. If you look at the air/fuel ratio (AFR) on any of the uprev graphs published on here you will see the original (and quite odd) line which plots the original map versus the much smoother and consistent line of the uprev map. Will definetly be doing uprev after the other mods, meant to ge a waste getting uprev then adding more right? The actual "driving feel" effect is disproportionate to the actual improvement in bhp/torque numbers.
  6. Whats the reason people go to garage if plenum is easy to fit? Any others than will improve (other than remap/turbo/s.charger lol)
  7. Going to have a quick guess and say fitting a turbo and all its accessories is pretty nails unless you know what your doing?
  8. Okay rephrased to a way that i mean since i was drunk last night lol. Is there anything i can do to make the car accelerate faster myself. Obviously uprev and plenum are the main options, but can you do a spacer yourself if you had a torque wrench? And im guessing dcats are easy to fit?
  9. Selling 2 x Bridgestone Potenza RE040 225/45/18 91w , both with 5mm of tread. Looking for £60 for both, collection only. Pickup address is HA46NG (Ruislip, West London area)
  10. Lol the heirarchy and their games, first facebook now this haha. Tryna find the least retarded picture of me, easily the hardest task
  11. There many meets in scotland happening? Never go there as its just full of the chav cruises at asda carpark lol
  12. Will do, whats the reason for not having mil pic up?
  13. "meet up with the boys here"? Lol
  14. Its a general all rounder, i aint aiming it at anyone lol. Besides, i cant upset anyone on the site incase their second car is a vxr and will catch up with me
  15. Still got a bit go I think How do you fit in a zed? Your too massive
  16. Oh and a new way to get your zed going faster, dont carbon fibre the whole car, take off your side skirts and remove the ton of dirt caught in them. Well, its either dirt or bits of my engine that got too hot and fell off.
  17. Id be intrested if you know how id fit them, not sure how they go on
  18. Hopefully the new vreds will be as good or better than ultras. Ive got em on my zed and their awesome
  19. I'd recommend a Leon or an Astra VXR. Quick as hell apparantly!
