  1. tracking is probably fine, you need your front camber adjusting, go to a garage that does camber alignment. as for lose gears, its a cable throw mechanism so its likely to have some play in it.
  2. if you want you can get some barbs and use some fuel hose to route the pipes under the front bumper and round to the other side (symetrically) where there are identical mounting holes...very easy job, ofc removal is probably the easiest.
  3. sweet, i started driving my vr6 at 22, and insurance wasnt too bad. Truck driving hey? i dont know how you can drive those monsters at a constant 60mph. You must be a good driver with all that HGV experience tho.
  4. i'll try that, thanks m8. what kind of deflection should you have in mm?
  5. 4.2litre supercharged, its got the R pack too, which meants bbs detroits and loads of sweet extras, but the xkr's charger is much nicer than mine, im getting a bit annoyed with the noise, which seems to be getting louder now....im thinking i might have to get rid of it.
  6. yeah, i like seeing video's but i dont see how an alloy can withstand being ground against solid rock and not get damaged, unless its diamond...even the strongest metal will get scratched and deformed...i would like to hear from someone who has them on their car.
  7. tbh im surprised no one has mentioned, the manifolds are off odb1/odb2 cars, the odb2 have variable fuel injection for rear bank of cylinders, which changes the flow characteristics in the rest of the manifold when under slight vaccum (partial loading).
  8. nice...probably buy a 04 plate r32 after the new one comes out though, they are brilliant.
  9. to take the head off, its not a BIG job, stealth say about 350 quid, its a matter of taking the manifold's off, doing some cam stuff (taking the chain off) and replacing the gasket. problem with the chains is that the gearbox has to be out. if things are terrible, it could cost nearly 1.2k according to vince at stealth, but he says its excessive if you are under 100k, but since you're over, i'd think about doing it....getting the head/chains done is a job that should be done before it dies.
  10. probably o2 sensor,but im not 100%
  11. try to look for some old pictures of binliners mk3, he had some sweet lights on it, with black backgrounds, the FK black ones have HUGE reflectors, binliner's were perfect, ask him which ones he had on his old car, it was black too. unless you by some crystal ones and have them sprayed.
  12. not if you've got an ODB2, its not got a stepper motor, so its ODB1. look at the pdf, to find out if you have odb1/2.
  13. odb2 sticky above will help you out, the pdf file IS* working, sometimes my website is down.
  14. yeah my mum gets minced by every car in the xkr, lol....doesnt mean she's a bad driver, just means she doesnt want to race.q
  15. V8 powered subframe smashing is what i thought you'd wrote LOL VR6 & TVR are only 1 letter/number apart maybe he got confused with our shopping mobiles....mine will be trundling to tesco with 300bhp long after the glimer in its owners eyes fades into black nothingness. respect the darkness. x)
  16. everything about that post is right about the comments in regards to the vr6, yes the chimera is a superior car...in probably every way apart from reliablity haha, but lets face it, its a stupid comparison...like a vr6 vs a nova, like a space shuttle against a f1 car, or jet against a saab....you can't possibly compare them, totally agree with binliner. i dont think my car would stand a chance against a TVR, i have an N reg golf that is 10 years old and spent 8 years taking a porno dealing granddad to the shops everyweek...lol...
  17. mighty is your v1 very noisey?
  18. beaten every mini cooper s i've raced (obvioudly never come up against a wrx one)....they are poor, not got good aero dynamics i dont think.
  19. is this regarding your charger? if yo have a BM or AG ECU, c2 can sort you out, else, get them to send you a brand new BM/AG Ecu, rob will look after you m8, dont worry.
  20. never raced an m3 before, too scared, arent they really super fast? i dont even think 300bhp could fend them off?
  21. what rev range does it missfire at, or does it do it randomly, random'ness can be fuel, or a bad connection, cleaning the ECU connector pins with contact cleaner might help, or it could be the sign of a car that is loaded with so much NOS it could blow itself up.... not enough info to go on really, get it on VAGCOM.
  22. my highline has purple leather with black carpet, i didnt know they did purple carpet, i know they did a blue dash...yuck...
