  4. Well seeing as I have no pictures of my car and can't work out how to upload a picture within the 1kb limit, I will bow down gracefully For now!!
  5. Good, but not quite as good as a GM
  6. A4 17:00 Kuro 04, looked good in black I must say
  7. So I got my axle done by the dealer today, not bad sounds much better without the clicking all the time . I also told them about my skipping Bose and asked them to replace it. They said that they could't find a problem so they would have to keep it overnight and try it in the morning, so of course I said b@ll@xs to that. I said it's an intermitant fault and they would have to take my word for it, the girl said she would speak to the manager, who approved it to be swapped over, by they said they had to send it off to Clarion in France and they would send a replacement and the manager said that he would ensure thats a new one (how I don't know) So now I have no stereo, but I of to Portugal for a week and the rest of the time I don't mind listerning to the engine

    Such good advice, and cheers ir_fuel sounds like a great potential offer. I need to clarify dates and also co-incide with my budget for sus brakes and possibly FI, although I think i would prefer to do the Ring pre FI

    Fast is good bouncy its not, I need to loose the bounce without responsivness or back breaking hardness, any suggestions

    So basically modded suspension is too hard, coz I still think the Zed's suspension is still too bouncy. I looked at Bilstein through AMD when I had an M3 and I know it has a really good rep, what I liked about the Tein Super Streets EDFC set up was that not only could I have presets i sould alter the system for 100% soft through 50% to 100% hard

    I thought the JDM's had a much softer ride than the Euro cars and it was due to this fact the changed the suspension?

    Thanks Dash, that is one of the reasons I was looking at the Tein Super Streets as its not as hard as the Flex package also if I had EDFC installed I could figure out the right mix and put it in as a preset?

    Hmmm I seem to be the only person who thnks the standard setup is a bit too bouncy for my liking. This is a concern too me as I don't see why it would be so. I just find at high speed on uneven country lanes I spend alot of time out of my seat, a problem I have not experienced since my series 2 landrover (all be it not quite the same)

    Hi I was thinking of geting the TEIN setup with the EDFC setup and springs, therefore a can adjust the ride to suit, I think so far it is only Spill who has gone for this, but the guy's at TDI seem fairly (how impartially I don'y know) impressed with it. This would be move number 1.

    Ok, so having spoken to the boy's today, it looks like the annual Le Mans Trip may be cancelled, too many weddings and core members dropping out. So instead it's been decided that we will do a run to the Nurburg ring instead and get our wings. There will be a few track test runs before hand and Plenty of Playstation for track recognition. So as I continue my quest for more power bit by bit, I have now to prepare for this too. What I was thinking og doing was start with the suspension, get it set up and getting used too the ride, then up rate my brakes and buy some scuffed alloys and fit Toyo slicks to them. This would be my prep other than servicing etc. If funds allow I may have gone FI by then, but I think it makes sense to do it this way around? What do you think?
  19. Problem sorted I hope, I took the silver fitting off of the rear strut brace, and pulled out the filling, took out the node thingy and packed it with felt. It seems to have gone, so cheers for the advice.
  20. Ming, your totally right, live for now. Sorry to hear about your experience
