  3. Pretty sure jap speed limit is officially 112mph (180kph) some may go a little over then drop down again but that is the official number. Sounds like some 1 has replaced the speedo facia. Never know why people do this as like sed above replacing the clocks for uk ones or fitting a kph - mph converter off eBay is easier. And removes the limiter
  4. Haha yep that's the one!! How did u know? He now lives under my bed
  5. Found a leather man and mini maglite under the driver seat. Also found the cobra remote fob under the gear linkages along with some yen's and more yens under rear bench seat. O and £10 note under passenger seat. Quite a successful deep clean I thought
  6. This In the snow we had the other year I was in a q of traffic when the driver two cars in front panicked coming up to a corner. Causing the driver in front of me to do a emergency stop. Causing me to stop...just. As I came to a stop looked in my rear view mirror to see a golf gti about to rear end me. Luckily for some reason I left my old gt4 at home that day and was in my old mondeo.
  7. That is strange over such a spread area. Does it feel bumpy to touch
  8. As above long bolt can be a pain Was 2 - half days not two and a half lol But I had use of air tool and a 15 tonne Hydraulic press so makes life easier. Doable without tho. Decent set of tools, more specialist stuff required will be a torque wrench, axel stands, poss drill and one handed hacksaw ( my pref but other methods can be used) wd40 a must, some m10 stud bar nuts and washers are handy( will explain later) I also needed to replace one of the bolts on the bottom if the rear hub which goes through the trailing arm as needed to be cut. And some paint while u got it to bits. That all I can think of the the min , may of missed something. Right tricks to removed without aid of a press This is the method I find easiest others may disagree or prefer another. This is the chain drill method. U drill round the rubber part of the bush as far out as possible and as close to each other as possible as many times as possible. U then simply knock the middle of the bush out , the with ur hacksaw cut carefully thought the metal outer sleeve then use a small flat screw driver to prise up one end and out. Tricks to refitting without a press this is where the stud bar comes in handy , pics tell a 1000 word lol Yes big hammer wd40 works well lol the clean up and refit with lots of copper slip
  9. Took me two half days to do mine but was only rear as I have super slut up front
  10. Cw racing is selling a full set of arms already poly bushed. More expensive but would save slot of time and hassle

  14. Yours tyres will prob weigh over 15kg each on there own without rim
  15. 7-8 kg is pretty good but depend in the width u going for
  16. With my car could sound like a rally car with out getting me severely Fooked by mr plod
  17. Ah I see u have me mistaken Tis not on my 6 Tis on my other car. I just new the 7 boys had similar probs so thought I would ask here.
  18. Hmm that's some good gains there. Was it the same dyno? What % are the adding for trans loss do uknow? Or do u have wheel bhp figs for both runs as well?
  19. Hi did u do a dyno before fitting then? Or was ur increase based on standard out put ? Also wot other mod do u have?
  20. Thanks guys I had real quick go with the remains of a bottle of safe cut i had. Seemed to improve slightly but light was fading last night so hard to tell. So looks like sanding wont be ness I will just have another with something a bit coarser next ie some g3 from work. May have crack with the machine polisher as well?
  21. Hi guys as titled I am wanting to wet sand my headlight lenses to get rid of a slight yellowing. What grade wet and dry is it recommended to start and finish on for best results. And would any decent cut polish ie t-cut work to finish off?? Or would g200 / g300 etc be better first ? Thanks
