  3. Was playting it all of last night, tried to complete the campaign on hard but its way to hard and really intense, especially with the surround sound on and lights off haha Had a quick blast online and gota say works really smooth no glitching or lagging (so far) and gunning people down from a minigun in a chopper is ace need to level up n get sum unlocks now tho

    Movember

    Hmm im quit tempted to do this I currently have a good 2 months worth of beard and have gotten bored of it, this would be a good reason for a change
  7. Sure it wasnt just the car behind double flashing his lights trying to trick you, I had a mate do it to me with h.i.d's and beleive me it can look really similar especially if your not looking at the time. Also if you know you werent speeding you have nothing to worry about, the two flashes and the lines on the road are there to measure your speed so you can actually work it out yourself.... apparently.
  8. im in the same boat, I've upgraded the fronts and its just as bad as before. i have had a look and it seems the speakers behind/under the dash need a case on the back of them to force the sound out forward as i tried the speakers enclosed and they sounded 1000000000x better lol also my friend had a slimline 6" sub that fitted underneath the front seat of his civic, gave good sound for the size and you never even knew it was there
  9. its got a trd strut brace and I've got rid of the intake chamber, pipe and hks filter and put on trumpets and a sausage filter now, looking at getting carbon cam and plug covers aswell
  10. plain and simple or with my old engine
  11. my mate works in a garage that is a stockist for new era imports so i had a chat with him who put me through to matt brown and miguel of newera and they sorted it out, £900 shipped with all fees with 18,000 miles on it, with all ancilleries and ecu. no gearbox tho but i had one already so wasnt required
  12. tbh, i dont think it was all that noticable, after i did the 16v 4age swap first of all and was still on the standard SR setup i was expecting loads of understeer but it quite limited. Im sure a 4efe would have a greater breaking point of u/s but this isnt far off of it, especially now with the BC's ALK and polybushed FARB and no powersteering, its really predictable and precise. but the best test will be when i finally get it on track I've always though this and im sure its do-able with a write up and a conversion harness, but the biggest problem is because the chassis rail has to be cut and welded you need someone who can do a good job of it and also get it in the right place, then you also have the variations of the different setups, with p/s and or a/c or not (requires drivers rail to be cut also) which mounts you want to use, 16v's differ greatly from 20v's or do you make a swap specific set?? then you need the driveshafts which would also need to be custom :/ so its not exactly cost efficient when you can do a complete 4efte swap for £600-1000??? i mean the complete engine is that much alone for a low milage 20v! and I've thought about it, but theres two main problems the 1st is the timing belt (using a porshe 944 one?) slightly out of alignment on the cams so you would need vernier pulley's and the cams are designed with the vvt and high rpms, the 2nd is the cranks of the 7afe have offset oilways not centrally drilled and anywhere near as well balanced so arent as suited to the high rev's of the 20v so although you gain the torque you loose the "essence" of the 20v's nature which is its revviness and tbf i dont feel that its lacking in torque, i can leave it in 5th from 30mph and not worry that much
  13. Cheers, and at times I do but the reason I wanted to do this swap is because I wanted to br different. I always knew that there would be quicker cars and starlets around and that if I was slightly quicker than one one day a couple hundred quid remap it would be a different story. But its nice seeing ppls faces when you tell them its still n/a, and in all fairness these cars dont have the best chassis in the world so if u start going silly on power you really do start struggling for grip, especially without an lsd and desent tyres lol Personally I plan on a new exhuast mani, cams, ecu and a 5spd lsd box and that will be me sorted for power (180-90hp est), and traction shouldnt be a problem then as its not too bad now as you dont get the surge in torque as with a boosted car and I was plesantly suprised by the lack of understeer its got aswell However it really is down to prefrence if its outright speed and balance you want this swap isnt for you, altho the way this was going the other nite I would be suprised if it would hit 145-50 speedo speed :s
  14. i know I've been giggling like a school girl since fitting them lol, it sounds alot better and louder than on the vid haha yeah mate deffo i think theres another fyc meet soon so maybe then? if not ill give u a shout when im heading your way
  15. just fitted some velocity stacks/trumpets to the motor heres a lil flyby vid, altho they are there loudest at about 4k, but here it is full chat. oh and my bad for the slip into 4th http://youtu.be/c9fzO9qtg14
  16. Get some quick release gauges
  17. Dude this sucks, fucking pikey cunts needs to sort their faces out and get a life!! Dont supose a steering wheel lock and wheel clamp.would help as they would vandalise it :/ Hope u sort this out somehow!!
  18. Most people will recommend a anti lift kit £65ish and a rear anti roll bar £160ish then I guess some new gas shocks and a basic set of springs (rsr-tein etc) but they will set u back more than £250 alone I should think, If your springs arent broke and shocks arent leaking id look at the other two bits first plus maybe get your tracking set, and possibly new bushes?? Be worth getting more than just my opoinion tho thats Just my 2 pence
  19. U get a free redbull x2010 its mental!! Interior veiw on all cars albeit very basic on standard model cars. More control over changable weather A new intro video if u choose to download it. A load of 2011 model nascars Quicker loading of in game menus Better in race options Groups, restrictions and classes in online mode New race suits New photo mode locations And a new tab on the main menu for the dlc soon to be released Then theres various bug fixes and other stuff I've forgoten and dont care about
  20. Considered doing this to my old micra, it was exactly the same as this lol Impresive pod times aswell, I bet that lsd helps loads The work involved reminds me so much of doing the 4age swap in my starlet. Goodwork man im very impressed!!
  21. Remove all the bolts, take a firm grip and give it a good yank
  22. In the case of his car it was to reduce drag aswel, at it was originally only 75hp, meaning it was biased as a fwd car but when the fronts lost traction then the rears came in, but the way it worked only put a limited amount of power through (70-30 or something) which is why the rear diff never destroyed itself prior to the solid prop. So if thats how the starlets work, I couldnt see why it couldnt be done? Oh and now his car has a welded rear diff yes it is now a pain in the arse to turn tight corners! Edit... just re-thought this and its prob the same setup as a starlet so diff wind up was prob some of the reason the rear diff needed welding?
  23. Not sure if this is the same or not but my mate has a subaru justy awd with a swift gti turbo engine in it (currently running 214whp) and his used to run a viscous coupling just before the rear diff, he put a solid shaft in instead but had to weld the rear diff as it would have shat itself if he didnt. Oh he also got his prop mounts poly filled at the same time. Needless to say he got his standing 1/4 mile down by 0.5secs from 12.9 to 12.4 making it the fastest justy in the country lol
