  1. I gave up on E38 a long time ago mate. bunch of to$$ers who run that place, locking threads as soon as someone has a controversial opinion or says it like it is. At the end of the day he was driving without L plates, and got caught. your right he deserves it. end of. i've no doubt it will turn into a 10 page slanging match with the way that site is. LOL
  2. ahhh that makes more sense!!! LOL
  3. Just a quick one, Whilst trying to find the cause of a small leak this weekend, I was stripping back the carpets / trim etc and found a black metal tube, covered in warning stickers "protect from impact", "do not transfer to another vehicle" "risk of injury" etc all over it, what looked like a wiring loom in the rear of it and a yellow cap in the opposite end. This was bolted down the inside of the sill, covered by a bit of plastic trim.. Looked very much like an airbag unit, but i've never heard of vr's having them... am i going mad??? If its not an airbag what is it?? I will try and get som
  4. 16.5 IIRC mate, and yeah absolute peice of cake to fit. you can go for components (which will prob be over your 40 quid budget), or a decent set of coaxials and just run em with your standard dash tweeters. (I've got a set of infinity co-axials in the front and a pair of alpine type-E co-axials in the rear. took me about 20mins to do all four and they sound loads clearer than before. Might take a bit of stripping / joining wiring in the back to get your tweeters to work, but the fronts are dead simple.
  5. sounds beautiful fella, i take it from the pic that the new system does away completely with the centre silencer "suitcase"??
  6. when you say "no power when cold" how much are you pushing the car? up to what revs etc?? and is it just sluggish or is it juddering/ popping etc...

    cheers mate. managed to figure it all out in the end lol. had a brown trousers moment when i took it for a spin to test it, involving lots of white exhaust smoke and massive power loss. then realised i forgot to plug the maf sensor back in... ooopsie lol. all is well now though, and sounds so much nicer than the supa ram. glad i upgraded now

    Hi guys, just bought this from VW MIKE (cheers fella) Quick question, where abouts does the circular support bracket go? Im guessing over the "filter" end of the MAF? as it wont fit round the actual filter neck.. im sure it will be clear when i come to fit it later but just want to ask.... sorry if im not being very clear!
  13. yeh does sound like it may be stuck open. a much better thing than stuck shut (which i had) but still your best getting it replaced

  17. absolute idiots aren't they. ooh, take a look at www.betterdrivingplease.com some of the reports there have a valid point but others make for a right laugh LOL
  18. water pump went on mine and the week before i got it sorted it started sounding awful, real metallic grinding sound, before that it was a similar sound to noisy lifters (which i also have) its just one big noise my engine :@ definately worth haveing a look . way to tell is run it from cold for a very short period with the belt off. if the sounds gone, you have an idea where to start looking!
