  1. my idea may be at an end hear. have been looking for places that will refill bottles in northern ireland so far with no joy whatsoever. trying to do my homework before i get an install. any ideas of places that would keep nitrous for other use that would do the job?????
  2. I met a guy at a cruise in an IS200, slammed to the floor. Said he had Tein Flex coilovers and the handling was rubbish. Had fitted them himself, dropped to lowest height, not set up the damping settings at all (no idea what setting they were on), not had the geometry done at all. Oh, and this guy says he is a mechanic, glad he's not my mechanic! Does anyone know an easy way to identify Tein coilovers? As there are different models. thats prob cause he slammed it too low and prob did not get geometry reset, or probably cant get it reset as its past its limit of adjustment. i think mines on full limit now and i could prob go lower but no point as i already hittin ramps occassionally
  3. a3 1.8 or 2.0 turbo. pocket rocket. stay clear if you lookin a race lol or if it a s3 your f*cked. think they over 225bhp
  4. maybe it because they stock them and want to charge over the top for them lol
  5. little wiring frig on the heater circuit as well. Sorted it out on my car for pennies. Stav wiring frig??
  6. ah get you know. the ones i have been looking at have 2 seperate nozzles that spray so take it thats a wet kit. does it plum into the petrol tank then?
  7. i just bought as set of denso ik20 for mine great job. think they are the original plug as people have said in forum. but just double check. got mine off ebay from england, but are cheaper from singapour just may take longer.
  8. my girls boss has a is200 and one of his rear shims or clips came off and jammed in between his brakes then scored the inside of his alloy badly. have you checked everything still in place?
  9. TDI supply the kit i think it is wizard of nos kit too. what all was involved in the fitting? i have fitted a turbo kit to a ford ka before but have never dealt with nos??
  10. does the front flex a good bit matt? worth investing in one??
  11. Looks alot better matey...did you have the Geo done after you lowered it.? did it not throw the camber along way out? Also nice wheels were did you get them from ...how much..which make.. :D yea i got the geo done after by tyre place to the settings off here for the recovery and also some good advice from tony WIM the wheels are 18" inovit 6 spoke with 225 40 18 tryes. got them from a place local with nankang tryes for £655 fitted and balanced. seem a good quality wheel, rays replicas basically. you can also get them on ebay.
  12. depends how much you use it......really i take it a 50 shot would last longer than 75 shot but is there a rough time of say continuos use, not that you would always be using it. 10 minutes? more? less?
  13. i think you going to get your doors blown off. the big car not that good at getting off the mark. just hope she messes up the start or stalls. good luck. my mate keeps smoking me in his glanza turbo, quite anoying lol but it is running 167bhp. nippy car
  14. will let you no dont worry about that, they do 6 month intrest free but would like to pay most upfront so got to tint some windows to get my pocket money lol
  15. have been asking mark from tdi about nitrous kits and think i might go for it. 75bhp progressive shot should perk things up a bit when needed. and normal fuel consumption when not using it. sounds good to me. need to empty my pockets out now count the pennies. still looking for a local installer (northern ireland is still in dark ages of tuning shops lol) but if not will have to make the trip to tdi
  16. if the main cat is taken completely out will a warning light come on? or would i need a simulator to correct it?
  17. it snowed here heavy about christmas and i found the car is far better just both off, but def did not cut power with them both off?? i was playing in a big empty car park. maybe yours is stuck on??
  18. before after tein basic coilovers, mine sat high at back too so i wanted to set the height myself this is -35 front -50 rear glad i got the coilovers and did not break the bank got them off ebay from mjd128 his shop is called ricerocket. cheaper than tein themselves!!
  19. would give you mine but it all scored from i am guessing a thumb ring. not worth sendin really
  20. wouldnt mind goin myself, get belfast to isle of man ferry. if it next summer might even have a charger or a blower and get to try it out properly :D
  21. i think on this forum the aim is 35psi cold. correct me if i wrong.
  22. I used DemonPlates for mine, they can make whatever size you want, all sorts of different options. Nice online plate builder, and fast service too. sweet had a wee look there and had a mess about. think i will be getting off them, how long they take to get you them? have the import style on yours?
