my local esso is still like 104 for basic unleaded, super is still sitting pretty at 1.14.9

i had a boost drop after having my roadrunner mani fitted, and it did feel less powerful, but the main thing was that it felt less torquey

welcome back! nice return!

gay wheels, mirrors, and rearlights... but other than that its a pretty impressive bit of kit!

wahoo! lets smartieparty! even tho in like 3 weeks time it'll probably go back up again! lol

thats some good info there, cheers gents. well its a tossup between the hdi and the autobahn, as i want to keep the stock recirc bov, so the autobahn seems to make sense, but after seeing fishy's one he bought i was really not that impressed. thats why im leaning towards getting the hdi, even if they are a little large.

thanks mate ;)

my entry: (this one is completely unmolested)

duh. my bad. ;)

im sure starletrick was running a acis on his 5e td05, you could ask him. i remember there was alot of info back in the day about inlet mani's on the austarletclub, you could try a search there buddy.

agreed. i have a mild steel and it has not cracked in about the year its been on the car... fron what ive heard stainless will crack on the welds everytime, i had this happen with my stainless decat, from what i could see it was fantastic build quality, but after 7 months it had cracked almost all the way around the weld.

calling all hdi cooler owners! few questions. 1) is yours a 98 spec front bumper and if so how much trimming was required to get the bastard to fit? 2) where did you purchase it from? and how much? 3) have you experienced any problems with hoses popping off etc. 4) where is the cheapest you've seen them since?

awesome job mate. i shall be gettin me a hdi cooler after xmas hopefully. just realised that your from hatfield... i went to uni there and live just down the A1. as al said, yours makes me want a black one instead! lol

dude! i havent even seen it yet!! give me the buddyclub?? hard to say buddy...how many miles/km's?

phil! youre back! missed you buddy

mate, its like the most odd car ive ever: worked on, been in, driven. but in hindsight i still love it lol just wish it was kinder to my wallet!

well i actually just started on the enkei's the other day, so i should have them done in time for winter this time! lol tis gonna be a surprise!

personally i hate the stuff... banzai did a test on tesco esso and shell supers and the tesco one didnt come out that great, even if its 99 octane. i always use esso fuel, mine seems to run better on it.

whats the general jist of it? i cant be bothered to read thru all of that!

nice, but ive never been convinced on light brows personally... i just cant see the point! lol

nope, i really cant! i'll just keep swapping them over until im happy! lol na, i cant stand the sound they make with a open filter, ive got an apexi that i throw on every now and then for a laugh, but other than that i hate it... it sounds like a cross between a vacuum cleaner and a whistle... plus i cant justify the stupid amount of fuel it drinks with one on either and the fact that you seem to loose tons of bottom end torque.

is that thru the std airbox g?

lol

think im gonna start on another wheel refurb tomorrow morning, spent the last week picking out the colour hopefully i'll get the look im going for... gonna keep this one secret this time tho i think...
