  1. I didn't think it was too bad Lyle, I used mine as a daily for 4 months, with a 2.5" straight through.

    I was only loud on full chat, other than that, quiet in traffic and cruising.

    hi

    i didn`t mean exhaust noise but induction noise , mine are in vertical position almost against firewall& had cone filters originally , i then constructed an airbox & hooked up BMC filter to box .i can at least hear the radio now . you couldn`t hear anything once they opened up & progressively got louder as revs rose .

    to the german interest the ITb`s only control air into motor like a T/B not fuel this is done by which ever management sys you are using so to comply with emission laws tuning is the key to compliance along with appropiate exhaust

  2. Hmmm, so tempted by these as have always wanted itb's, will have a think and do some calculations.

    So what would be the benefits of fitting this to a 4efe?

    Cheers

    hi

    if you do get tempted consider an air box & air cleaner the induction noise is unbearable inside unless you want the noise ,you won`t hear anything else once they open up , i have fitted all of the above & it is still noticeable .

    its hard to describe benefits but motor will rev more freely way past redline in all gears if you dare to go there if not restricted into danger zone on std motor but a lot of fun & something different i haven`t done anything lately to mine but have managed to more than double horse power of STD motor as part of the mods done

  3. You cannot close a paypal with pending transactions or disputes though ?

    and would think Tara has lots of those

    r u sure its closed ?

    As said above mine now shows up as a dispute with Tara on my paypal so how can the account be closed ?

    hi

    that is what the credit card co advised when i put in a claim so i don`t know . hope paypal in the UK can make good on this mess

    need some good news from over there

    lyle

  4. as it clearly shows my payment was on the 4th December which was nearly 5 months ago and still I can claim it back via my credit card company they claim it off paypal and paypal then shove a massive dildo up cj performances arse :yahoo:


    i requested a dispute resolution with my credit card company & they declined reason paypal a/c closed so no way to claim against paypal .


    so how many others in same boat inow paypal a/c closed & no claim possible by banks & credit card companies


    no up=dates & no refunds either i suppose


    lyle


  5. hi


    it good news for the guys who are getting paypal partial refunds , but what about all those that missed the claim-by date by being patient what will paypal do for us??


    i`ve taken out a dispute with my credit card so waing for a result not sure what to think if the bank can`t get my money back


    this whole sorry mess makes me sad . you guys ( you know who you are ) have made my shopping something you should be proud of then this . what do i do now when i want to shop over there ???


  6. hi

    this forum needs to hear genuine concise answers re the issues not all chit-chat . this not helping those that can`t make paypal dispute claims & are wanting a response& refund

    i sent PM as requested & nothing since as others have done

    the problem`s can`t go away if the HEAD-IN-SAND approach is used

    regular up-dates are needed now so matters don`t get any worse

    who would be interested,

    kit would consist of

    2 x stainless spacer plates

    8 x longer stainless bolts

    2 x poly bushes

    2 x stainless bush brackets

    some pics from cad :)

  9. hi

    i have bumping noise coming from LHR shockie .

    mechanic advises the noise location is visible when looking @ the top mount from inside the car

    he is reluctant to dismantle without some parts

    do i get top mounts & a pr of shockies & do both sides when he pulls LHS apart

    please give me your opinions on what i should buy to replace KYB shockies & std mounts using Kings springs

    what is currently available ??

    your suggestions please

    thanks lyle

  10. if youve got that and the rolla mani im gonna up my guess to 91.4 at the fly :(

    Alot of stuff effects wheel horse power but it would be around 72 ish. most rolling roads give you the flywheel horsepower tho

    hi

    that exhaust is probably too big so you might not get all the HP

    my guess is 81 HP

  11. On the way home from work today and dials stopped working, looked at tt and was at 12v, after some further investigation it was the gauge fuse under the steering colomn. Anyone else had this issue?? How the hell did it cut power to my alternater lol I thought it was just a gauge fuse??

    hi

    you will often find that 1fuse perfoms many functions ie alt charge / gauges int light etc thats why when a fuse blows it will often stop a no of things working at the same time
