  1. I'm based in Brum and can help out if you anywhere near-ish *sorry I'm on my phone and can't see full details. I've also cleaned out my TB and moved the butterfly when doing so, I managed to carry out the reset correctly how this MUST be done on a warm engine or up to temperature. Do the throttle position, idle control and throttle body resets one after the other.
  2. Hard pipe from airbox to throttle body looks nice
  3. 100% feel the same way in terms of any point driving for pleasure these days. Couple weekends ago myself and three other mates went for a Sunday morning drive out. Depending on route, you can really get into trouble as roads go from 50 to 30 with little warning. We went from Tywcross via Tamworth to Cannock along by far the worst road in the Midlands, the A5 east argh it was shocking. After Cannock it's not too bad but the cafe we went to was on the way to Cannock and I'm still expecting a letter through the the door.
  4. Yes however reg date wouldnt confirm which DE it had fitted. We've all seen RevUps with lower tax and early DE's that fall into the high tax range.
  5. Wouldn't confirm a thing...... RevUp has a silver ring around the individual Speedo gauge cluster.
  6. They relate to the viscosity index and warm/cold kinematic viscosity, not all 5w30's are the same. http://lubematch.shell.co.uk/gb/en_GB/browse/cars
  7. Anyone used asda tyres recently for rubbers? think the discount code has ended..........
  8. Almost 50lb-ft more than a early NSX
  9. My point was all the cars mentioned far out sell the 350z, which to most people will look and appear the exact same as a 2003 model albeit a facelift car however for significantly more outlay. To alot of people sadly its not different enough to warrant the extra cost and day to day unless you climb the revs above 6.5k you won't notice a huge difference in overall performance.
  10. Again in the realms of proper competition for a HR, to which sadly all of the below sell really well...... Just ones opinion. https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/2006-Porsche-Boxster-3-2-S-Black-Great-Example-/332400938314?hash=item4d64a3cd4a%3Ag%3AJ14AAOSwAr9ZfXrP&_trkparms=pageci%3A79ae0cb1-b1a1-11e7-92d4-74dbd180a6b2%7Cparentrq%3A1feef44a15f0abc05e5b629cfffa8b7a%7Ciid%3A6 https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Z4-3-0-SI-SPORT-COUPE-/382217635268?hash=item58fdf245c4%3Ag%3A~G0AAOSw2DFZq77k&_trkparms=pageci%3Ac3a5c002-b1a1-11e7-a15e-74dbd180d240%7Cparentrq%3A1ff0d91115f0a990a82abc19ffff571a%7Ciid%3A10 https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/2009-Audi-TT-2-0-TFSI-S-Line-Special-Edition-3dr-/263204385188?hash=item3d483431a4%3Ag%3AaT4AAOSw49lZuQZ3&_trkparms=pageci%3A27c0e2ff-b1a2-11e7-9dc4-74dbd1806377%7Cparentrq%3A1ff3692815f0a860eb2fd935fffed585%7Ciid%3A2
  11. For me the 276bhp DE is a bit of a performance bargain, ticking just about every real world box less some elements of practicality. The HR isn't a performance bargain for the cost, as its into the realms of some very serious cars ie 9k+.

  13. Went for a Samsung 50' MU6100 from Electronic World TV. Was hoping to buy from Richer Sounds with their extended warranty, however only their Bristol branch had stock *collection only. So far has its pros and cons against the old plasma, but happy with the purchase. Plasma has better skin tones and I think a glass screen looks nicer. The LED unit wins everywhere else, processing power is fantastic compared, upscaling works really well with 1080p, kinda like 1080p+. The smart remote will take some getting used to mind, but all in good time I guess.
  14. Cheers all, will have a good look about and see what's what tomorrow. Don't fancy a new brand telly and will most likely settle on an LG, Samsung or Sony unit. Not much content out there from what I gather, but 4k seems like a no brainstorm if costs aren't too much.
  15. Actually really nice work in the caps, looks trick. But we need to swap out the air filter for......... Or Or at least..... https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/SICKSPEED-HYDROGUARD-MESH-WATER-GUARD-COVER-FOR-3-AIR-FILTER-CONICAL-ENGINE-/371981909590?var=640916940032&hash=item569bd97e56%3Ag%3A664AAOSw~rpZQZxN&_trkparms=pageci%3A81630ed0-aed1-11e7-8334-74dbd180ca82%7Cparentrq%3A0d808f4215f0ab454a1e9d86fffc84b7%7Ciid%3A23
  16. So after 6 years almost exactly, our trusty LG 50PK590 has decided to randomly turn itself off, wait and can be turned back on but then after a few minutes off again. This weekend I'm going to buy it's replacement and another 50' unit. Any recommendations? not overly interested in voice control, hand gestures, webcam and doesn't need to have the best operating system or apps as il be using the Amazon fire stick anyways. Budget £500-£600 Bye bye PK590.......
  17. Hi everyone Quick question, are the sensors interchangeable? ie if I had a defective back 1 sensor, could a known working bank 2 sensor work fine in replacement for my duff sensor? I seem to remember the sensors looking slightly different, however is this just due to plug access?
  18. Crazy that road sports cars have these on the front axle!!! Madness
  19. Following on from the winter prep thread, today I tackled the front wheel arches. Chassis wise there's a lack of underseal from factory and I'd be looking to address the matter. Used a combination of Bilberry and AG wheel cleaners, Daisy APC, various scrubbing brushes, mf towels, Hammerite stone chip, brake cleaner and ACF50. Also did the wheels while they were off and like a pro didn't take the all important after picture, huff. Weekend gone also treated her to a new coat of Soft99 Kiwami ready for the harsher months. Next up the rear arches and subframe.
