  1. love the look of these. sorry to butt in but while I can figure out that they catch oil hence the name. exactly why do you need them? what over flow of oil is it? excuse my ignorance.
  2. by all accounts its handling is excellent. ive not driven one though so I can't say personally that it is. But performance is a let down and I don't really like the styling of it.
  3. that looks stunning! love that red colour. out of interest is it a hard job to spray the engine cover and the strut brace yourself?
  4. Fitted today - in the crappy rain - easy to do although gonna have to get those screws done properly that attach the heat shield to the air intake funnel when its not raining so heavy. Taking her for a run in a bit - just reving the engine i can hear a change in the note which sounds excellent :-) bring on a nice drive to test it out properly. Cheers Tarmac
  5. that was quite a description of the japspeed lol thanks. dont worry got the jwt from tarmac. fitting it tomorrow so cannot wait to hear it

    Oil Change

    paranoia for me means always torquing rather than hand tightening. used to hand tighten the sump nut on my bike and very nearly stripped the thread the one day when I felt it wasn't right enough. cant get it wrong with a torque wrench now. Well hopefully not lol
  7. I've not used kwik fit in a long long time because the one around here tried to rip me off. Not surprised to hear you had a similar experience. They do seem to like creating more work than actually needs doing. agree it's a fairly easy job but depends on your confidence to do it and having some tools.
  8. cheers as well derz. will look into it tonight now. see if a mate in work wants to come along as well.
  9. that sounds like good advice cheers mate. It's a cracking forum here. I've not been on long but there's tonnes of knowledge. will have a look around for that clip of your barrelled destroying
  10. sounds good. Been looking around at some drifting info. I wouldn't have a clue myself since this is my first rwd car. It does look seriously good fun though. like the video as well. You've got some good skills as far as I'm concerned! so coilovers are a definite requirement you'd say? I'd guess that really just practicing with the standard car is sufficient to start. I'm guessing there's track days for this?
  11. welcome Out of interest what kind of setup changes did you make to the zed for the drifting?
  12. cool. Thanks mate. Blue is obviously the best colour then tarmac I'd def like to order one then if you still have them in Stock. would I need to order the oil for it now as well or can that wait.
  13. hi decided to take the jump and get one of these. might be a daft question but do you have a choice over the colour of the filter cone. just wondered if there was a blue one.
  14. personal experience have found motorcycle cops to be much more reasonable as opposed to the car based ones. depends on the copper though I guess.
  15. stupid question possibly but they test the handbrake efficiency on the road for the mot test do they? Because I know I've read that they can't test the rear braking on the rollers due to the diff?
  16. just Incase anyone ever searches for this I did all the reset procedures. been driving her around including given her a bit of gas at times and so far so good. No errors and no more eml.
  17. true its up to both sides government and individual drivers. something like 2000 deaths last year on the roads in the UK which ain't bad though when you consider the number of drivers on the road and also the number that speed.
  18. had to surrender my photo license when I renewed it all at the post office. to be honest works out the same cost plus it's all done there and then including new photos. had the new one back and the new paper part (which I'd lost) after about 7 days.
  19. it should be a common sense thing but unfortunately like the previous example some local authorities have none.
  20. brilliant win for Italy! fantastic. totally deserved it as well.
