PIAA Super Silicone are great, exactly as MYK said. Streak and squeek free.
You coat the screen with a wipe when fitting them that treats the screen, go above about 40mph in the wet and the water just beads and runs up and off the screen.
It's also a fun way to completely soak cyclists if it's tipping down.

collect a wing for me and willing to hold it for me till the bsb meeting at brands hatch in july there would be drink in it at the rochester premier inn please
Fixed that for you Roy.
I would like to thank everybody for their kind offers (at least i have saved the price of an evening meal !)
If i'm honest i'm not overly surprised considering the first impression you made elsewhere in the club. Fair play to shocks for offering to help. Please don't be as rude to him as you were to Nix.

Will do Lee, think we are heading for cribs once done (wife wants to shop obviously), maybe meet there for a coffee?
Have you heard of infinity?
I know of them, but haven't been there. A couple of guys in work rave by them and have used them several times without issue. Last one being a V6 406 Coupe that they've made sound amazing (and sets off car alarms when you start it!
) . Splinter wasn't as happy with their work, but i'm not sure of the circumstances around that one.I've been meaning to head over there and see if they're any good, so can meet you at Cribbs on your way there if that's okay? I'll drop you a text next week.

Ok so the bungs don't fit lol
Soooo I've booked the car into infinity exhausts near bristol and he's going to redo the rear of my exhaust to quieten it down and make it sound sweet!! Roll on the 7th july
Cool. Drop me a line if you like and we can meet up.

I agree with ORC on this one 150DB is stupid amounts and i am pretty sure not even Moto GP bikes produce 150DB....
150DB would make his ears bleed.
I was in my mates lightly modified Pug 306 when he got pulled for his exhaust.
Took 2 readings, the first one clocking 90/91db, at 3500rpm, the second clocking at 89db at 4000rpm. Got a £30 fine and asked to swap the exhaust. The cop was so determined to nick him, he didn't even notice that a numberplate light was out which he could of got a warning or something for. Just shows how narrow track minded cops are.
Quite a few of my other mates have got done for even louder exhausts, one clocking 150db!
The only thing was none of the japanese cars were pulled over for 'excessive noise'... seems weird really as then its quite unfair, though im not complaining
It almost certainly won't be 150db. Unless your mates vehicle is a plane. The average comercial jet liner only makes 150db at a push and that's at take off, EuroFighter Typhoon goes to between 140 and 180db dependent on whether they bang it onto full reheat.
ORC sums it up well, it wouldn't necessarily make your ears bleed but you would be deaf as soon as you drove it.

Good stuff guys.

Why do we need 2 threads on this??
-
Congratulations Uncle Bob.
-
Good shout Arizona.
Got my renewal notice yesterday, shall be spending a little bit more and getting 6 months in order to break up the car spend slightly throughout the year. That's still £135 or so though.
A full year on a Gen 7 (190) is £245 thanks to it producing 201 carbons, 1 less little blighter would have meant £205 instead
-
Ben,
I asked the same question and so many others have too, so i wrote a guide!
Problem solved!
-
If you have to go for Rota's it's got to be the Grids.
My personal choice for a Gen 6 would always be the OZ SuperTurismo WRC or LM
mmmmm sexy spokes!
-
Nightmare. Unlucky mate.
Try Ray at RT Performance, they might be able to help.
-
Have you tried AMS or Nix in the breaking section?
-
But if you get Bosch or PIAA I'm sure they will be quallity
I've got a set of normal fit PIA Super Silicon blades .Brilliant wipers. They come with a teflon screen wipe that you use when you first fit them that coats the screen, then the wipers top it up as you use them.
They're cracking. The beads of water on the screen are smaller, no smears at all. Even clearing the small amount of snow from the screen yesterday, just wipe and crystal clear.
They're a bit pricey though at about £40 a set but Motaman in Bristol offer CCUK discount and i guess that a few places up north would too.
-
Might even give it a lick tomorrow!
You perv! I love it
Just stay away from my exhaust....both the cars and mine
Now where's Chez to really lower the tone?
-
daaaawwww thanks Ben, look you've made it blush
-
Righto! I got lucky this afternoon.
Pretty warm, light cloud and bone dry. This makes me a happy lad and my Celica all smooth and shiney.
-
After looking at these pictures, the weather better be good tomorrow or i will NOT be happy!
I've kind of put all of my cleaning products in one basket with this one haven't i? Actually. That is literally what i've done, because i'm going to my folks house to nick their hose and driveway to clean the T-Sport on! :rolleyes:
-
After i've got my engine plastics sorting, i'm going to see if Nix or AMS has any front grill about to make up a set of surrounds that match in.
When i've got that done i'll make a template and stick it on the boards.
-
Very tidy Ben! Good effort.
I'm going the other way by leaving it until Friday afternoon to clean mine. Going to use a mates Snowfoamer and belt out my car and his Disco in an afternoon. Fingers crossed eh!
You have a very tasty car indeed mate. Look forward to seeing it in the metal (and fabric) on the weekend.
-
Great stuff guys!
-
Ok, your Celica beside a county or shire welcome sign.
Is there a bonus for getting your Celica next to a sign for THE Shire?
-
No worries.
If another batch crop up, then let me know if I can help. The offer is an open one.
-
How many you talking Saddle?
If noone is coming all the way, if someone can get them to Bristol by next Friday (20th) evening, i can take them on to the meet from here.
Check out my new Gen7!
