  1. Cheers bud -- photobucket does it ;) I usually hate photobucket, it was the last place I tried though (luckily ) You may see a few dif animated avitars over the next few min as I choose Or... made this one for a mates phone:
  2. Hey guys -- I've made a couple of animated gif's for my avatar but I don't know where I can host them?? Anywhere I've tried uploads as a .gif, but then when I put a link to it, it isn't animated?? any ideas?
  3. Ah -- Well I've got ABS. But my braided lines kit only consist of 4 hoses -- 2 front and 2 rear (I assume) So will I only replace 2 of the 4 rear lines in actual fact?
  4. Hey guys, getting some help to change my brake lines on sat -- was just wondering how the braided set changes the rear 4 lines into just 2 lines? Can anyone clear this up for me?
  5. What size reduction is your reg plate and where did you get it mate? It looks like about the most I think you'd get away with (Which suits me fine ;) )
  6. Isn't Scotland exact enough mate?! ;) Only Jestin' Think Stevie mention something bout loch Lomond up top in the first post??
  7. Persoannly I think Bronze Nismo replica wheels would look the ticket! I dunno, seems all a bit whit right now (And you know what white wheels go like Aaron ;) )
  8. Did your battery light come on the dash? -- that's usually the tell-tale sign of alternator failure.
  9. I use semi-synthetic 10W-40 and change my oil and filter every 3000mi -- Better than waiting longer and using fully synthetic in my opinion.
  10. I got the Halfords ISO block connector -- However I still need the aerial adaptor and the adaptor for the rear speakers I don't really listen to my stereo anyway!
  11. It's a sunday So I could prob make it. 1. Stevie B 2. sl8ter 3. Enzo 4. beatz 5. lobotomy (Adrian)
  12. Hmmm... I used to work at the bar at loudoun castle before I went to uni, unless they've changed the car park it's just a big gravel pit Don't think I'll make any special effort to make it to this one.
  13. Not a prob... I could have worded it better, but the gist is right
  14. To be honest you'd spend a of money making your car noticeably faster... well enough to stop those cars that can overtake you right now from doing so in the future. Keep to the twisty's, brake later and carry more speed through the corners, that way there'll be a good few yards between you and the faster cars to begin with P.S By that I mean upgrade your brakes and improve the handling!
  15. Yeah this is the TypeR-R, it looks like it's more for a track based car... kinda like the Impreza RA was for subaru.
  16. Yeah -- you're right, never clicked actually doh! Yeah and 2.1kg/cm2 is ~30psi so that's about right!
  17. I think he's looking for the pro's and cons of each system compared with each other... what control you can get with each system (maybe I'm just wrong though ) I plan to get an E-manage, and still have my SAFC though for on the fly additions/subtrations
  18. I had a quick scan through my Glanza manual mate - However not being able to read Japanese, I can really make out what info exactly this table is giving?? I was assuming the first column is for the front springs and the second for rear springs?? One thing that makes me wonder is that the data appears to vary with tyre size and not what model of car it is? Also the units are kg/cm2 whereas spring rates are usually measure in kg/mm lbs/ft not ft2/mm2 I don't know mate... not sure
  19. Borewash is caused by overfuelling mate -- It happens when the volume of fuel injected into the cylinders is more than can stay as vapour (an analogy is when you spray on deodorant, if you keep spraying it on your oxter it'll turn into liquid and run down your side) On the compression stroke the liquid form of fuel cannot be compressed and forces itself past the pitson rings, taking with it the lubricating oil, which in turn causes ring and cylinder wall damage. If it also makes it's way into the sump, it can thin the oil and lead to bottom end wear. It takes a lot of overfuelling to do this
  20. Ma bit... tonight 8pm, be there or be square! P.S I might not be in
  21. Yeah I think that's the general concensus -- then this would still have a warranty (bloody expensive warranty though!) And I agree with you Geo! That's what it should have been from the outset!
