    tyre choice?

    thanks guys, opted for uniroyals in the end.. did find mytyres.co.uk had proxes for £42 a tyre but by the time I'd paid t fit em wouldn't look such a good price. Had a look for yoke s drives, couldn't find them in 165/60/14 though. Gotta love bestbuytyres if anyone needs tyres, ~£50 a pop for...

    tyre choice?

    Need new tyres, almost had a blowout and was told it was because they were 10 years old. Bridgestone B391s... can't fault them but I've decided to replace the lot, 2 were getting low but 2 have 6mm or so left. I'm torn between b391s again (standard fitment), or uniroyal rainexperts (always...

    Insurance wont cover lowering

    It may be your age but it could be because you're fitting them? I think I remember them asking actually who would be fitting them and I went "a...err.. local garage" I think actually I did it months previously anyway then declared them when the renewal came through. Sod them. They didn't even...

    Insurance wont cover lowering

    I'm 22 been with admiral 2 years, declared all my mods, 30mm drop increased it by £60 and they said the 57i they'd add for free! no troubles? EDIT: all they questioned was the drop distance, they said over or under 35mm, I said under.

    cone filter relocating

    I see, so the throttle body is 2 3/4" reduced to 2", then some piping, then you're attaching that 45deg to the cone? I've seen kits on ebay for like £30 that come with all the malarky and a cone filter.. sort of wishing I'd bort something like that now lol! Also, lmao at drainpipe (Y) top marks...

    ok, I've got the K&N 57i and I'm thinking of relocating it from the throttle body to behind a headlight/the battery... I'm going to need some piping and a 90deg elbow.. from those that have already done this in the past, what dimensions am I looking at, and where can I get the bits, ebay's a...

    Dash pods: rev counter/volt meter and Kaylan mudflaps!

    facelift has a different dash design altogether, I could only make the holes in a certain place because of the tiny amount of clearance underneath... you see my plan is to cut the wiring and use multiple connector blocks so I can plug and unplug them... when I can be bothered :p

    external rev counter

    below your steering column on the right hand side there is a port/connector thing, for testing. Get the clocks off and prod the green wire in those pins... on mine I tried dabbing on all the pins on the block that connects to the clocks, with the engine running, until I got a reading. Also, some...

    Thinking of spraying the grill

    I'm thinking of doing this, a nice gloss black from chrome... how did you remove the grille? does it just pop off? I've heard just the chrome pulls off and all sorts? Final question... do you think it would look better black or chrome?

    Flyeyes Kit?

    they look well good, has anyone thought of using flyeyes to give that sort of "lazyboy" look... like that baby blue k11 that's on here somewhere? I've seen someone do a similar thing on a k10.. looks like night rider! Seeing as it passes mot might as well be creative lol!
