As far as I know - you only need planning permission if the room is deemed habitable - and the definition of this is if it is heated. Therefore, providing you don't put radiators in, you dont need planning permission (there is nothing to stop you putting in 'portable' heating like electric heaters etc) Many years ago I sold conservatories, and this rule applied then - not sure if its still valid - but if so it will save you a few hundred quid on planning permission edit - I'm sure Nixy may be able to clarify this, as I believe she works in planning etc

Its not all doom and gloom - I get to drive an awesome set of wheels..... ...... ...... ...... Thanks Asda!!!

I have one from an 02 import - any good?

**UPDATE** I saw my specialist again today - he told me I have to stay off my foot for another fu**ing month! First of all it was 6 weeks, then 8, now 12!!! - I feel like crying

ps - if it was possible to fit two K1's - I would buy yours!

Methinks he had fitment issues - rubbing on sub-frame etc - its a known issue, but once its sorted.....its still fu**ing loud!

I love mine, but it is loud - great buy for £200 - good luck with sale

LOL - I got it wrong in Egypt my 1st time there ... if you dont tip the little boy at the entrance to the toilet, you dont get any loo paper!

Yep - same as a lot of non-EU countries - either a mini form on the plane, or just a stamp in the passport and a small fee when you get to their passport control etc I havent been recently, but I have friends out there - if you are staying in a resort you should be fine - but if you venture out it is very expensive! mini night-life guide here http://travelguides.lastminute.com/sisp ... =Nightlife

ps it is VERY expensive eating and especially drinking!

no visa needed in advance mate - you get one when you arrive... http://www.irantour.org/uaevisaapplication.html

She sits lovely -how did you achieve that drop and camber??

I occasionally get a 'crunch' doing quick changes into 3rd and sometimes 5th - regardless of weather/temperature etc. Someone told me it might be my synchro mesh?

provisional dibs on these - pm sent

From stationary, put the car in 4th gear and give it plenty or revs, then slowly release the clutch until u feel the bite point. Keeping revs high release the clutch a bit more, and you should feel some forward motion. If you dont this is a pretty good indication that the clutch is slipping

I cant make my mind up about them and am not sure whether to go down this route or do a DIY job to darken existing ones using http://www.jdmperformance.co.uk/item_de ... odID=58106 like Nurrish did...

okay - so if I do y-pipe next (japspeed) - what do u recommend for HFC's?

Had my K1 fitted today - sounds awesome! However, the fitter did say my Y-pipe was blowing bad - he has done a temporary bodge/fix for now. In retrospect, I should have bought a new Y-pipe at the same time to replace stock, but didnt think it necessary. Is there much of a benefit getting the Japspeed Y-pipe over stock? - And while I am at it, is it worth replacing OEM CATS? I have read through many post tonight and whilst De-Cat seems the cheaper option, it also can mean more hassle MOT time and also a drop in torque (although this is aparrantly disputable on here??) It looks like High Flow Cats are the way to go... Ignoring any ECU resets, what gains could I expect from 1/ Japspeed Y-Pipe 2/ HFC? In order to save £££ in fitting - if I'm going to get a new Y-Pipe, possibly new HFC - is it worth looking at manifold as well?? - what gains could I get from a new manifold? Obviously costs are now escalating, and I'm starting to scare myself how much this will cost me, but I look forward to any recommendations (with corresponding gains and costs) you can advise on. Thanks in advance, Dave (couldn't find a smilie for 'looks for scissors to cut up credit card!') edit - I say ignore ECU reset, because I have a 2002 JDM, and apparently they dont auto reset any gains (still needs confirming)
