  1. i am with adrian flux at the min and they done all my mods so far. will give them a tinkle someday. def before i get anything fitted.
  2. ok cheerz. just hope when i get it done before it running at least th claimed 153bhp with my blitz back box an k&n panel filter. will cry if it dont lol
  3. thats bollox you need the progresive controller to feed the extra power in. Not having one puts the strain on the engine. i think i would like one for piece of mind. will the chaeper minimax do the job or is it cr*p. it should handle the power if it has prog controller, right???
  4. ok i am now waiting on it coming so i might get my car on the dyno before and then again after to see the difference on paper. will keep you all posted on it. is £50 normal price for a dyno run?
  5. surely but on a n/a engine a 50 or 75 shot would not be to bad on the engine internals?? wizard of nos got back to me today and gave me a local group who install their systems and refill bottles, they told me a 50 or 75 shot would not even need a progressive controller. does this sound right? guess it would only be 200 or 225 bhp oh and price was 1250 with 5lb bottle or 1500 with 11lb polished bottle. this includes fitting and dyno tested to suit what i want. just not sure if i should go without a progressive controller. have ordered a book to read up on it by the wizard of nos himself
  6. i was for getting rid of mine too for more powerfull car, but when looking for somet to replace it its hard to find somet with the same reputation as the lex, same looks and the big same quality factor. none of them came near. my main turning point was when i was getting a clutch fitted i went to collect it but he was still working on it and had it up on the ramp. i couldnt believe my eyes. 1999 car and not a spot of rust or corrosion near it. so i said **** that i keepin it now. lol :D
  7. i dont think it will be overly dear but dont quote me on that. i have posted exhaust bits to england and it was only 22 pound for a cat back cobra systyem. (not the best system i ever owned) changed to blitz back box. going to remove middle section possibly if it still quiet after manifold. anyone no will manifold make big diff to sound with a blitz nur spec backbox. it sounds nice at min but very quiet. like sucking sound. still sounds nice tho
  8. great, maybe you can post up any improvement/difference once installed? I am also trying to get one but the guy doesn't reply my to my queries about shipping to italy... i will keep you all posted on the quality, fit, performance, sound ect. i still have to ask him about delivery to n.ireland should not be to much. when did you mail him? whats the time difference over ther to the uk
  9. hello my X long time nos speak, ive lost all my numbers due to my phone crashing,, give me a ring or drop me a text with your number, good to catch up. @ coolride. ive got a fuel rail ALREADY tapped with the correct connector for the WON kit, the rail is for an IS300 though so dotn know if its the same for the 200. in any case soem info on my install can be foudn here http://fargosys.com/html/nitrous_project.HTM sweet set up in your car. i dont know if the fuel rail would fit to be honest but my biggest prob at min is finding somewhere to fill the bottles in northern ireland. at a dead end at min. got a dentist appointment next week tho lol
  10. good good glad to hear that i just bought one lol. can i sue this site when i go bankrupt lol
  11. 1 other thing. will it pass mot or will i need to swap about the manifolds for emmisions??
  12. have you took the pads out and made sure there nothing lodged in the pad like a stone or something, could cost you a disc if there is
  13. cant see some pics on work computer lol will wait till i get home. i work awfull hard tho so hardly get a chance to use computer lol
  14. my lab has NO2 cylinders........ sure i could negotiate a price....lol if only you were in northern ireland i would take you up on that. lol
  15. thats what i meant if i changed the manifold to one with no precats lol cheers mat
  16. cool might go for one then. see there is 2 on ebay for 149 plus postage. the pre cats are ok to remove without the need for o2 simulator?? cheers
  17. you will NOT get insured. I'm old and only found one company to insure the car...................... i am with adrian flux still have to ask them but been told they should.
  18. has anyone seen these up close fitted? seen them on ebay but was not sure how they would look on the car.
  19. is it cheaper to get it from china direct rather than ebay. i dont mind it not being branded as long as its decent quality. lets be honest i dont show too many people under my bonnet.
  20. i had emailed wizards of nos and got one reply back about options. same sort of price for kit + progressive controller, but when i emailed about fitting costs no reply. will try again.
  21. lol 3rd time lucky. How much have you been quoted..... sorry missed that one lol, the parts i need are about £1150 or so and mark said prob around £600 to fit. but until i find somewhere to refil i wont be doing nothing. lol
  22. is it the same stuff?? i no a dentist wont sell you it but it could be a starting point where to source it?
  23. i have k&n panel. original looked very restrictive so binned it
  24. He was an allround fool! I been thinking about droppin mine a bit, but the geomerty is perfect and I have to watch me HKS exhaust on standard speed humps if there are 4-5 people on board, so gonna leave as is. Previous owner fitted them though, so dont know what model they are. Could ask TDI to check their records, but would be wasting my time! what colour are they. any damping adjustment, will take pic of mine when doing my breaks see if that helps you any
  25. must admitt i bought bosch super 4 thinking would be good plug but for some reason the car seemed to struggle a bit more at speed so changed to denso off ebay. much better. can honestly say i can feel the difference a bit
