  1. Green Light just quoted under £900. A saving of £400! (Although thats with two years NCB against my current one.) Cheers Tom. They are a grat company and i advise anyone over 21 to give them a go as they ONLY insure modified cars! Glad you got a good saving mate :D I'll be giving them a call next year ;) Tom.
  2. :D would be good and help me get to know everyone! Might just have to hold out till the end of the month but accept the insurance quote so i dont pay more after it expires :P Cheers Stav that excell one is great will check 2nite if i have all the bolts there as alot of them are still on the parts so will identify and bag the ones in the box :D Tom.
  3. In other words you don't need one! but get one if you like Shiney things under your bonnet Tom.
  4. Love it! i want one in pink and yellow! with stabilizers too lol Tom.
  5. I am going to JAE! not sure how to get onto the club are tho?? If people wuddnt mind helping, and would like some free beers ;) would be great :P i could do the ECU stuff before hand anyway, just not too confident playing with the enigne! If not then i'll have a go on saturday :D Tom.
  6. Cheers Stav, might have that off ya :) but will wait to have a look how she runs wen i get it put on :D Having to do it on my own this weekend as my mate cant now and i cant be assed to wait till b/h monday! Havent really got much of a clue what i'll be doing but i'll give it a go :D Does anyone know where i can get the page of Bolts and stuff from the TTE charger thing as i just have a box of nuts and bolts and dont know what is for what! lol Tom.
  7. I remember talking to you in southend a while ago. Liked the look of the car and the turbo, was able to get hold of a 3.0lt supra engine N/A a month ago, and thought about turbo'ing that but decided to go for a charger instead :D Tom.
  8. Think i'll stick with the pulley i got with my kit then :D Tom.
  9. So how do you up the boost to 0.5 if the standard set up runs at 0.3?? Cheers, Tom.
  10. Try Adrian Flux they will go through NIG alot of the time got my car *with mods declared/ supercharger* for £1679 fully comp with 3 years and im 20 un modified they would do it for £1589. Was paying £1400 standard with churchill! NIG seem to like modded cars and young drivers :D Also try Green light, you have to be 21, have 1 years no claims and it must be modified and they will insure you! Adrian Flux No - 0800 783 1392 Green light Hope it helps Tom.
  11. 992,470 "i put Viagra in my tea, does nothing for my s*x life!......... but stops my biscuits going soft!!!"
  12. Found this to do with Camcon This might help, but i have no idea about the AFR> Tom.
  13. i like them, just not on my car Tom.
  14. I was just wondering if anyone kows if you can get head spacers for the lex, and if this will make much difference in performance with the charger. I was told it might make some difference in performance and allow me to run more boost on standard internals, but was unsure? Just wondering if any of you have done it or looked into it? When the charger is fitted i will be running it on 99 octane, is it best to get the car re-mapped to run on this? i ask cos my mates Evo was mapped on Vpower and seems to run sluggish when on 95?? Last of all, I believe the VVTi kicks in about 4000rpm? Can it be mapped to come in lower? eg 3000 rpm. Would there be any benifical performance gains by doing it? Cheers for any help, or just let me know if im making myself look stupid Tom.
  15. You've got it and you've got time to post? lol Get yourself in the garage and get it fitted man! my garage is at the back of the house and an extension is in the way lol but will be doing it next week as i will have the money to get the new insurance out, cos it will take 5 days to get the money back from churchill i had to save up :( Cant wait till its fitted :D :D Tom.
  16. Just have a look on the inside lips of the disk and you can use your own judgement on if you need new disks? Just remember if you do get new disks you need new pads too :P Just take your wheels off and rotate the disk untill you get the lip and have a look. some pics for reference! my disks came off after 30k miles and were replaced with prolex grooved and braided hoses. Hope that helps, Tom.
  17. na i wouldnt bother my self as you will have to take the door panel off and its alot of efford for the driver side so its prob best to leave it to autoglass because if they breakanything they will pay for it and if you do then your stuck and then autoglass might not touch it! I agree, i would get them to have a look first, but if no change in the window speed after i'd take the door card off and just give it a good hoover to get all the glass but be careful not to damage anything. Tom. I have had the panels off and know how they work. (currently running NO front speakers!) "It's easy when you know how." @Tom, message Steve (admin). He will sort your Gold issues. Good luck finding (and affording) a supercherger! LOL. Cheers mate will prob message him soon :) I have a super charger ;) its all sitting under my bed right now and i'll be fitting it next weekend :D:D hope you get the window issue sorted soon! Tom.

  19. I dont think it is actually the "Disk" its self that warps (others may correct me if im wrong). But i believe after heavy braking the pads and disks get hot, and if you then come to a stand still in traffic with your foot on the brakes you get material transfer from pad to disk, With this next time you brake you get a juddery feeling. Not 100% on this but something i was told a while ago. Your disks should, also have a witness mark on them to indicate if they are low or not, its on the inner lip of the disk. Disks and pads are easy enough to do. shouldnt take too long and if you can get a tool to push the piston back into the caliper it makes it easir if not just use some big stilson grips :D Should be a walk through in the knowledge section? Tom.
  20. When changing you disks and pads next why not even put some braided hoses on, I felt an improvement when i did mine, i got them off ebay and the Prolex groved disks!! Tom.
  21. I'm not gonna be ona stand or anything :( as i never kept up with owt was happening to do with LOC and JAE but will drive there both days as i can be fussed with camping and i live close :P Will deff pay alot of attention to the LOC stand :D and hoping to have my charger kit on before! Just hope my car doesnt get broken into like last year! wallet, mobile, satnav, CDholder! the bloody lot! and only went to see where my mate had parked! 5mins i was away from the car!! Tom.
  22. I ban spikes cos in 134 pages ive never banned anyone and just had to catch up on everything!!
  23. I will, as im only 15 mins down the road from Mersea Island! The closest show ive ever been to :D so if anyone need directions or help in or around colchester i can help :D:D:D Just watch out for traffic police as there pretty hot on modified cars around here! Tom.
  24. Ive got Mintex pads all round with Prolex disks on the front. Ive not had any problems. The place i work at use Mintex pads on the cars and vans too. Tom.
